'''''Kuvittele maailma, jossa jokaisella ihmisellä on vapaa ja maksuton pääsy kaiken inhimillisen tiedon äärelle. Se on tavoitteemme.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Visiomme]]

Tervetuloa Wikimediaan! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (”Wikimedia-säätiö” tai ”me”) on voittoa tavoittelematon yleishyödyllinen järjestö, joka pitää päämajaansa San Fransiscossa, Kaliforniassa, Yhdysvalloissa, ja jonka [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|tehtävänä]] on voimaannuttaa ja sitouttaa ihmisiä ympäri maailmaa keräämään ja kehittämään [[w:fi:Vapaat_sis%C3%A4ll%C3%B6t|vapaan lisenssin]] alaista tai vapaana aineistona (''public domain'') olevaa sisältöä sekä levittämään sitä tehokkaasti ja maailmanlaajuisesti, maksutta.

Tukeaksemme eloisaa yhteisöämme annamme sen käyttöön tarvittavan infrastruktuurin ja hallinnollisen rungon monikielisten wikihankkeiden ja niiden paikallisten versioiden (katso lisätietoja [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects -sivulta]]) (jäljempänä ”hankkeet” tai ”projektit”) sekä muiden tavoitettamme tukevien hankkeiden kehittämiseksi. Pyrimme tuomaan eri hankkeiden tuottaman opetuksellisen ja informatiivisen sisällön internetiin vapaasti saataville ilmaiseksi ja pysyvästi.

Toivotamme sinut (”sinä” tai ”käyttäjä”) tervetulleeksi Wikimedian hankkeisiin lukijana tai muokkaajana, ja kannustamme sinua liittymään Wikimedian yhteisöön. Ennen kuin osallistut, pyydämme sinua lukemaan seuraavat käyttöehdot (”käyttöehdot”) ja sitoutumaan noudattamaan niitä.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Nämä käyttöehdot kertovat julkisista palveluistamme, suhteestamme sinuun palveluiden käyttäjänä sekä oikeuksista ja velvollisuuksista, jotka ohjaavat meitä molempia. Ylläpidämme suunnatonta määrä opetuksellista ja informatiivista sisältöä, jonka ovat tuottaneet sinun kaltaisesi käyttäjät. Me emme yleensä lisää, valvo tai poista sisältöä (harvoja poikkeuksia lukuun ottamatta, kuten käytäntöjen niin kuin näiden käyttöehtojen nojalla, lainsäädännön noudattamisen takia, tai kun kohtaamme kiireellisiä uhkia vakavista vahingoista). Tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että toimituksellinen valvonta on sinun itsesi ja muiden käyttäjien käsissä, jotka luovat sisältöä ja huolehtivat siitä.

Yhteisö eli sellaisten käyttäjien verkosto, jotka jatkuvasti muokkaavat ja käyttävät hankkeita ja/tai niiden verkkosivustoja (jäljempänä ”hankesivustot”), on ensisijainen keino saavuttaa tehtävämme tavoitteet. Yhteisö tuottaa hankkeiden ja hankesivustojen sisällön ja osallistuu niiden ylläpitoon. Yhteisön tärkeänä tehtävänä on myös luoda paikallisten hankkeiden sisäiset käytännöt ja valvoa niiden noudattamista. (Paikallisilla hankkeilla tarkoitetaan muun muassa Wikipedia-hankkeen eri kieliversioita tai monikielistä Wikimedia Commons -hanketta.)

Sinä, käyttäjä, olet tervetullut liittymään osallistujana, muokkaajana tai kirjoittajana, mutta sinun tulee noudattaa käytäntöjä, jotka koskevat kutakin itsenäistä paikallista hanketta, mukaan lukien [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Yleinen käytössäännöstö]] (UCoC), joka koskee kaikkia paikallisia hankkeita. Suurin hankkeistamme on Wikipedia, mutta ylläpidämme myös muita hankkeita, joista jokaisella on erilaiset tavoitteet ja työmenetelmät. Jokaisella paikallisella hankkeella on osallistujia, muokkaajista tai kirjoittajista koostuva ryhmä, joka luo ja hallinnoi yhdessä kyseisen paikallisen hankkeen sisältöä. Olet tervetullut liittymään näihin ryhmiin ja työskentelemään heidän kanssaan näiden hankkeiden parantamiseksi. Koska olemme sitoutuneet tuomaan sisällön vapaasti yleisön saataville, lisäämäsi sisältö asetetaan saataville ilmaisella lisenssillä tai julkaistaan julkisesti.

Ota huomioon, että olet lain mukaan vastuussa kaikista Wikimedian aineistoon tekemistäsi lisäyksistä tai muokkauksista ja sisällön jälleenkäyttämisestä sekä Amerikan yhdysvaltain että muiden asiaan soveltuvien lakien nojalla (mukaan lukien mahdolliset lait siellä, missä sinä tai muokkauksiesi aihe asuu). Siksi on tärkeää, että noudatat huolellisuutta, kun tallennat, muokkaat tai jälleenkäytät sisältöä. Tämän velvollisuuden takia meillä on joitakin sääntöjä siitä, mitä et voi tehdä, joista suurin osa on tarkoitettu sekä sinun itsesi että muiden muokkaajien turvaksi. Sinun on hyvä tietää, että meidän säilyttämämme sisältö on tarkoitettu ainoastaan yleiseen tiedonhakuun. Jos tarvitset asiantuntijan neuvoja jossain erityiskysymyksessä (kuten lääketieteellisissä, oikeudellisissa tai talouteen liittyvissä asioissa), sinun tulee kääntyä sopivan asiantuntijan puoleen. Käyttöehdoissa on myös muita tärkeitä tietoja sekä omaa vastuutamme rajoittavia ehtoja, minkä vuoksi pyydämme, että luet nämä käyttöehdot kokonaisuudessaan.

Selvyyden vuoksi todettakoon, että muut organisaatiot, kuten [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|paikalliset Wikimedian paikallisosastot]] ja yhdistykset, jotka voivat jakaa saman tehtävän, ovat kuitenkin oikeudellisesti riippumattomia ja erillään Wikimedia-säätiöstä. Ellei Wikimedia-säätiö valtuutettuna osapuolena toisin ilmoita tietyn hankkeen verkkosivustolla, nämä muut organisaatiot eivät ole vastuussa hankkeen verkkosivuston toiminnasta tai sen sisällöstä.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Tarjoamamme palvelut ==

Wikimedia-säätiö on omistautunut rohkaisemaan ilmaisen monikielisen sisällön kasvua, kehitystä ja jakelua sekä ylläpitämään näiden wikipohjaisten hankkeiden koko sisältöä yleisölle ilmaiseksi. Meidän tehtävämme on ylläpitää joitakin maailman suurimmista yhteistyössä muokatuista viitehankkeista, [//www.wikimedia.org jotka löytyvät täältä]. Toimimme kuitenkin vain ylläpidon palveluntarjoajana, joka ylläpitää infrastruktuuria ja organisaatiokehystä. Tämän infrastruktuurin ja kehyksen avulla käyttäjämme voivat rakentaa hankkeita lisäämällä ja muokkaamalla sisältöä itse. Niiden avulla käyttäjämme voivat myös käyttää kyseistä sisältöä uudelleen. Ylläpitämämme infrastruktuuri sisältää erikoistuneen teknisen infrastruktuurin, jonka avulla käyttäjät voivat olla ohjelmallisesti vuorovaikutuksessa ja käyttää uudelleen hankkeiden sisältöä (ns. ”sovellusohjelmointirajapinta”, ”ohjelmointirajapinnat” tai ”API:t”) ja mobiilisovelluksia.

Käyttöehtojen kaikissa osissa käytetyllä tavalla palvelumme koostuvat seuraavista: [//www.wikimedia.org ylläpitämämme hankesivustot], ylläpitämämme tekninen infrastruktuuri ja kaikki tekniset tilat, joita käytämme hankkeidemme ylläpitoa ja kehittämistä varten.

Ainutlaatuisen roolimme takia haluamme kiinnittää huomiosi muutamiin seikkoihin, jotka liittyvät suhteeseemme sinuun, hankkeisiin ja muihin käyttäjiin:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Emme ota osaa toimittamiseen:''' Koska hankkeita muokataan yhteistyössä, suuri enemmistö sisällöstä, jota säilytämme on käyttäjien tuottamaa, emmekä me toimi sisällön toimittajan asemassa. Tämä tarkoittaa, että me emme yleisesti valvo tai muokkaa hankesivustojen sisältöä, emmekä ota mitään vastuuta tästä sisällöstä. Vastaavasti, ellemmme ole nimenomaisesti todenneet muuta, palveluiden kautta ilmaistut mielipiteet eivät edusta meidän mielipiteitämme, emmekä esitä väitettä tai anna takuuta siitä, että yhteisön tallentama sisältö hankkeissa olisi totuudenmukaista, paikkansapitävää tai luotettavaa.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Olet vastuussa omasta toiminnastasi:''' Olet laillisesti vastuussa lisäyksistäsi ja muokkauksistasi hankkeissa, hankkeiden sisällön uudelleenkäytöstä, ohjelmointirajapintojen käytöstäsi ja palveluidemme käytöstä yleisemmin. Oman turvallisuutesi vuoksi sinun tulee olla varovainen ja välttää toimia, jotka voivat johtaa rikosoikeudelliseen tai siviilioikeudelliseen vastuuseen sovellettavien lakien nojalla. Selvyyden vuoksi todetaan, että sovellettava laki kattaa ainakin Amerikan yhdysvaltojen ja Kalifornian osavaltion lait. Muiden maiden osalta tämä määritetään tapauskohtaisesti. Vaikka emme ehkä ole samaa mieltä tällaisista toimista, varoitamme käyttäjiä – erityisesti muokkaajia, osallistujia ja kirjoittajia – siitä, että muut kuin yhdysvaltalaiset viranomaiset voivat pyrkiä soveltamaan sinuun muiden maiden lakeja, mukaan lukien sen paikan, joissa asut tai katselet tai muokkaat sisältöä, paikalliset lait. Emme yleensä voi tarjota mitään suojaa, takuuta, koskemattomuutta tai korvausta tällaisten lakien soveltamista vastaan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Tietosuojakäytäntö ==

Pyydämme, että tutustut [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|tietosuojakäytäntöömme]], jotta olet tietoinen, miten me keräämme ja käytämme sinua koskevia tietoja.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Palvelumme sisältö ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Saatat löytää epämiellyttävää tai virheellistä sisältöä:''' Koska isännöimme laajaa kokoelman sisältöä, jota ovat tuottaneet tai keränneet tavalliset käyttäjät, voit löytää materiaalia, jota pidät loukkaavana, virheellisenä, harhaanjohtavana, väärin nimettynä tai muuten vastenmielisenä tai epämiellyttävänä. Siksi pyydämme, että käytät tervettä järkeä ja harkintaa käyttäessäsi palvelujamme.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Hankkeiden sisältö on tarkoitettu vain yleiseen tiedonvälitykseen:''' Vaikka hankkeemme isännöivät paljon ammattimaisiin aiheisiin, kuten lääketieteellisiin, juridisiin tai taloudellisiin asioihin liittyvää tietoa, tämä sisältö esitetään vain yleistä tiedonvälitystä varten. Siihen ei pitäisi suhtautua ammattimaisena neuvontana. Pyydämme sinua etsimään riippumatonta, ammattimaista neuvontaa sellaiselta, jolla on lupa toimia tai joka on pätevä kyseisellä toimialalla sen sijaan, että toimisit minkään hankesivustoilla olevan tiedon, mielipiteen tai neuvon perusteella.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Kielletyt toimintatavat ==

Wikimedia-säätiön ylläpitämät hankkeet ovat olemassa vain sinun kaltaisistasi käyttäjistä koostuvan eloisan yhteisön takia, jotka tekevät yhteistyötä sisällön kirjoittamiseksi, muokkaamiseksi ja kuratoimiseksi. Toivotamme osallistumisesi tähän yhteisöön tervetulleeksi. Kannustamme sinua olemaan asiallinen ja kohtelias vuorovaikutuksessa muiden yhteisön jäsenten kanssa, toimimaan hyvässä uskossa ja tekemään lisäyksiä ja muokkauksia, joiden tarkoituksena on edistää jaetun projektin tehtävää. Pyydämme kaikkia käyttäjiä lukemaan ja noudattamaan [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Yleisestä käytössäännöstöä]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), jossa asetetaan vaatimukset kollegiaaliselle siviiliyhteistyölle kaikissa ylläpitämissämme hankkeissa.

Tietynlaiset toimintatavat, olivatpa ne laillisia tai laittomia sovellettavan lain mukaan, voivat olla haitallisia muille käyttäjille ja rikkoa sääntöjämme. Jotkin toimintatavat voivat myös asettaa sinut edesvastuuseen. Siksi sinun ja muiden käyttäjien suojaamiseksi et saa toimia niin hankkeissamme tai muilla tavoin käyttää niitä kyseisellä tavalla. Näitä toimintatapoja ovat:

:'''Muiden ahdistelu ja hyväksikäyttö'''
::* uhkailu, vainoaminen, roskapostittaminen, ilkivalta tai häirintä Yleisessä käytössäännöstössä (UCoC) kuvatulla tavalla
::* ketjupostin tai roskapostin välittäminen muille käyttäjille
::* sisällön julkaiseminen tai muokkaaminen tarkoituksena vahingoittaa vakavasti muita, kuten tahalliset houkuttelut itsensä vahingoittamiseen tai epilepsian tahallinen laukaiseminen.
:'''Muiden yksityisyyden loukkaaminen'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* muiden Amerikan yhdysvaltojen lakien tai muiden sovellettavien lakien (mukaan lukien lait paikoissa, joissa asut tai katselet tai muokkaat sisältöä) mukaisten muiden yksityisyyttä koskevien oikeuksien loukkaaminen;
::* henkilökohtaisesti tunnistettavien tietojen pyytäminen häirintätarkoituksessa, hyväksikäyttötarkoituksessa tai yksityisyyden loukkaamiseksi tai mihin tahansa myynninedistämiseen tai kaupalliseen tarkoitukseen, jota Wikimedia-säätiö ei ole nimenomaisesti hyväksynyt; ja
::* henkilökohtaisten tunnistetietojen pyytäminen keneltä tahansa alle 18-vuotiaalta tai alle täysi-ikäisiltä siellä, missä olet, jos olet yli 18-vuotias, laittomaan tarkoitukseen tai alaikäisten terveyttä tai hyvinvointia koskevan sovellettavan lain rikkominen.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Väärien lausuntojen antaminen, toisena henkilönä esiintyminen tai petos'''
::* sellaisen sisällön tahallinen tai tietoinen julkaiseminen, joka on Amerikan yhdysvaltojen lakien mukaan kunnianloukkausta tai herjausta;
::* sisällön julkaiseminen tai muokkaaminen tarkoituksena pettää tai johtaa harhaan muita;
::* yritys esiintyä toisena käyttäjänä tai henkilönä, vääristellä suhdettasi johonkin henkilöön tai yhteisöön, salata yhteytesi johonkin henkilöön tai yhteisöön, kun nämä ehdot tai paikallisen hankkeen käytäntö sitä edellyttävät, tai toisen henkilön nimen tai käyttäjänimen käyttäminen harhaanjohtamistarkoituksessa; ja
::* petokseen osallistuminen.
:'''Teollis- ja tekijänoikeuksien loukkaaminen'''
::* Tekijänoikeuksien, tavaramerkkien, patenttien tai muiden omistusoikeuksien loukkaaminen asiaan sovellettavan lainsäädännön tarkoittamalla tavalla.
: '''Palveluidemme väärinkäyttö muihin laittomiin tarkoituksiin'''
::* lapsipornografian tai muun sellaisen sisällön lähettäminen, joka rikkoo lapsipornografiaan tai lasten seksuaaliseen hyväksikäyttöön liittyvää materiaalia koskevaa sovellettavaa lakia, tai muiden rohkaiseminen, houkuttelu tai kannustaminen luomaan tai jakamaan tällaista materiaalia;
::* sovellettavan lain mukaan laittoman säädyttömän materiaalin julkaiseminen tai kauppa; ja
::* palveluiden käyttäminen tavalla, joka on ristiriidassa sovellettavan lain kanssa.
: '''Osallistuminen toimintaympäristön häiritsevään ja laittomaan väärinkäyttöön'''
::* viruksia, haittaohjelmia, matoja, troijalaisia, haitallista koodia tai muita laitteita sisältävän sisällön julkaiseminen tai jakaminen, joka voi vahingoittaa teknistä infrastruktuuriamme tai järjestelmäämme tai muiden käyttäjien järjestelmää;
::* Hankesivustojen automaattinen käyttö, joka loukkaa tai häiritsee palveluita, rikkoo sovellettavia käytäntöjä, jos sellaisia on saatavilla, tai joita Wikimedia-yhteisö ei ole hyväksynyt;
::* palveluiden häiritseminen kuormittamalla kohtuuttomasti API:a, hankesivustoa tai tiettyyn hankesivustoon liittyviä verkkoja tai palvelimia;
::* palveluiden häiritseminen hukuttamalla hankesivustoja viestintään tai muuhun liikenteeseen, joka ei viittaa vakavaan aikomukseen käyttää hankesivustoa ilmoitettuun tarkoitukseen;
::* tietokonejärjestelmiemme ei-julkisten alueiden tietoinen käyttö, peukalointi tai käyttö ilman lupaa; ja
::* teknisten järjestelmiemme tai verkkojemme haavoittuvuuden tutkiminen, skannaaminen tai testaaminen, elleivät kaikki seuraavat ehdot täyty:
:::* tällaiset toimet eivät kohtuuttomasti väärinkäytä tai häiritse teknisiä järjestelmiämme tai verkkojamme;
:::* tällaiset toimet eivät ole henkilökohtaisen hyödyn tavoittelemiseksi (lukuun ottamatta meriittiä työstäsi);
:::* ilmoitat kaikista haavoittuvuuksista asiaankuuluville kehittäjille (tai korjaat ongelman itse); ja
:::* et ryhdy tällaisiin toimiin pahantahtoisessa tai tuhoisassa tarkoituksessa.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Maksetut muokkaukset ilman ilmoitusta'''

::* Sinun tulee tuoda ilmi jokainen työnantaja, asiakas, tarkoitettu edunsaaja ja yhteistyötaho, jolta saat tai odotat saavasi korvausta mistä tahansa muokkauksestasi. Sinun tulee tehdä tämä ilmoitus vähintään yhdellä seuraavista tavoista:
:::* lausunnolla omalla käyttäjäsivullasi,
:::* lausunnolla keskustelusivulla maksettujen muokkausten liitteenä, tai
:::* lausunnolla maksetun muokkauksen yhteenvedossa.
::* Lisäksi, jos julkaiset hankkeiden ulkopuolella julkisen mainoksen muokkauspalveluista Wikipediassa minkäänlaista korvausta vastaan, sinun on ilmoitettava kaikki Wikipedia-tunnukset, joita olet käyttänyt tai tulet käyttämään tähän palveluun kyseisessä julkisessa julkaisussa kolmannen osapuolen palvelussa.
::* Sovellettava laki tai hankekohteiset käytännöt ja Wikimedia-säätiön käytännöt ja ohjeet, kuten ne, jotka käsittelevät eturistiriitoja, voivat rajoittaa maksettuja muokkauksia entisestään tai vaatia yksityiskohtaisempaa julkista ilmoittamista. Esimerkiksi Wikimedian tavaramerkkien (määritelty jäljempänä osiossa 6) loukkaaminen maksettujen muokkauspalveluiden mainostamiseksi, aiemmin asianmukaisesti ilmoitettujen maksettujen muokkausten ilmoitusten poistaminen tai uloskirjautuneena tehty maksettu muokkaaminen tavalla, joka tekee riittävän julkisen ilmoittamisen käytännössä mahdottomaksi, rikkovat tätä osiota.
::* Wikimedia-hankkeen yhteisö voi ottaa käyttöön vaihtoehtoisen maksettujen muokkausten ilmoituskäytännön, joka voi täydentää tai korvata tämän osion. Jos hanke ottaa käyttöön vaihtoehtoisen tiedonantokäytännön, voit noudattaa kyseistä käytäntöä tämän osion (otsikolla ”Maksetut muokkaukset ilman ilmoitusta”) vaatimusten sijaan osallistuessasi kyseiseen hankkeeseen.

:: Lisätietoja saat lukemalla [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|UKK:n ilmoittamatta tehdyistä maksetuista muokkauksista]].


Korvausta saavien käyttäjien ilmoittamattomat muokkaukset aiheuttavat kohtuutonta taakkaa vapaaehtoisille muokkaajille, [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|jotka tutkivat ja valvovat yhteisön käytäntöjä]]. Siksi tämän osion rikkomuksista, jotka liittyvät ilmoittamattomaan maksettuun muokkaukseen, suostut alistumaan sitovaan ”Med-Arbiin” (”markkinointiyrityssovittelu”) näiden käyttöehtojen osioissa 14 kuvatulla tavalla.

Pidätämme oikeuden käyttää täytäntöönpanovaltaamme näiden käyttöehtojen osion 4 määräysten suhteen. Tarvittaessa näiden ehtojen täytäntöönpano voi sisältää toimia, joita ei ole lueteltu Wikimedia-säätiön [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action]] -käytännössä. Jos täytäntöönpano on tarpeen uusissa olosuhteissa, pyrimme päivittämään Office Action -käytännön enintään yhden (1) vuoden kuluessa luetteloimaan uudentyyppiset toimet.

&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 6. Tavaramerkit ==

Vaikka voit varsin vapaasti jälleenkäyttää hankesivustojen sisältöä muuallakin, on tärkeää, että Wikimedia-säätiössä suojaamme tavaramerkkioikeuksiamme, jotta voimme suojella käyttäjiämme jäljittelijöiltä. Siksi pyydämme sinua kunnioittamaan tavaramerkkejämme. Kaikki Wikimedia-säätiön tavaramerkit kuuluvat Wikimedia-säätiölle, ja kaikki tuotenimien, tavaramerkkien, palvelumerkkien, logojen ja verkkotunnusten käyttö pitää tapahtua noudattaen näitä käyttöehtoja ja [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|tavaramerkkikäytäntöämme]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Sisällön lisensointi ==

Vapaan tiedon ja vapaan kulttuurin yhteisvaurauden kasvattamiseksi kaikkien hankkeisiin tai hankesivustoille osallistuvien käyttäjien on myönnettävä laajat käyttöoikeudet yleisölle jakaa ja uudelleenkäyttää muokkauksiaan vapaasti, kunhan tämä käyttö on asianmukaisesti nimetty ja sama vapaus uudelleenkäyttää ja levittää on myönnetty kaikille johdannaisteoksille. Tavoitteenamme on tarjota vapaata tietoa mahdollisimman laajalle yleisölle, ja vaadimme, että tarvittaessa kaikki tallennettu sisältö lisensoidaan siten, että kuka tahansa voi käyttää sitä vapaasti uudelleen.

Sitoudut noudattamaan seuraavia lisensointivaatimuksia:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Teksti, jonka tekijänoikeus sinulla on:''' Kun tallennat tekstiä, jonka tekijänoikeus sinulla on, sitoudut lisensoimaan sen seuraavasti:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Nimeä-JaaSamoin 4.0 Kansainvälinen -lisenssi] (”CC BY-SA 4.0”), ja
* [///www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (”GFDL”) (versioimaton, ei muuttumattomia osioita, tai etu- tai takakansitekstejä).

Uudelleenkäyttäjät voivat noudattaa kumpaa tahansa lisenssiä tai molempia.&lt;br /&gt;
Ainoa poikkeus on, jos paikallinen hanke tai ominaisuus vaatii eri lisenssiä. Siinä tapauksessa suostut lisensoimaan minkä tahansa lisäämäsi tekstin paikallisen hankkeen tai ominaisuuden määrittämällä lisenssillä.

Huomaa, että nämä lisenssit sallivat tuottamasi sisältöjen kaupallisen käytön, kunhan tällainen käyttö on kyseisten lisenssien ehtojen mukaista. Jos omistat CC BY-SA 4.0:n kattamat Sui Generis -tietokantaoikeudet, luovut näistä oikeuksista. Tämä tarkoittaa esimerkiksi sitä, että hankkeisiin lisäämiäsi tietoja voidaan käyttää uudelleen vapaasti ilman nimeämistä.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Tekijän nimeäminen:''' Nimeäminen on tärkeä osa näitä lisenssejä. Pidämme sitä kunnian antamisena niille, joille se kuuluu – tekijöille kuten sinä itse. Kun tuotat tekstiä, annat luvan sille, että sinut nimetään tekijäksi millä tahansa seuraavista tavoista:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hyperlinkin (mikäli mahdollista) tai URL-osoitteen kautta artikkeliin, jonka tuottamiseen olet osallistunut (koska jokaisella artikkelilla on historiasivu, jossa luetellaan kaikki osallistujat, kirjoittajat ja muokkaajat);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hyperlinkin (mikäli mahdollista) tai URL-osoitteen kautta vaihtoehtoiseen, vakaaseen verkkokopioon, joka on vapaasti saatavilla, joka on sovellettavan lisenssin mukainen ja joka nimeää tekijät tavalla, joka vastaa hankesivustolla tehtyä nimeämistä; tai&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;tekijäluettelon avulla (huom. luettelosta voidaan poistaa tekijät, joiden muokkaukset ovat hyvin vähäisiä tai epäolennaisia).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Tekstin tuominen:''' Voit tuoda tekstiä, jonka olet löytänyt muualta tai jonka olet kirjoittanut yhdessä muiden kanssa, mutta siinä tapauksessa vakuutat ja takaat, että teksti on saatavilla ehdoilla, jotka ovat yhteensopivia CC BY-SA:n kanssa (tai, kuten yllä selitettiin, toisella lisenssillä, kun henkeversio tai ominaisuus sitä poikkeuksellisesti vaatii). Luettelo yhteensopivista lisensseistä löytyy [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commonsin sivustolta]. Et saa tuoda sisältöä, joka on saatavilla ainoastaan GFDL-lisenssillä.&lt;br /&gt;

Hyväksyt, että jos tuot tekstiä CC-lisenssillä, joka edellyttää nimeämistä, sinun on mainittava tekijä(t) kohtuullisella tavalla. Jos tällainen nimeäminen annetaan yleisesti sivuhistorioiden kautta (kuten Wikimedian sisäinen kopiointi), riittää, että nimeäminen tapahtuu muokkausyhteenvedossa, joka tallennetaan sivuhistoriaan tekstiä tuotaessa. Nimeämisvaatimukset ovat joskus liian hankalia tietyissä olosuhteissa (lisenssistä riippumatta), ja saattaa olla tapauksia, joissa Wikimedia-yhteisö päättää, että tuotua tekstiä ei voida käyttää tästä syystä.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ei-tekstuaalinen media:''' Hankkeiden ei-tekstuaalinen media on saatavilla useilla eri lisensseillä, jotka tukevat yleistä tavoitetta sallia rajoittamaton uudelleenkäyttö ja uudelleenjakelu. Kun lisäät mediaa, joka ei ole tekstiä, suostut noudattamaan tällaisten lisenssien vaatimuksia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|lisensointikäytäntömme]] mukaisesti, sekä noudattamaan sen paikallisen hankkeen tai ominaisuuden vaatimuksia, johon olet lisäämässä sisältöä. Katso myös [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commonsin lisenssikäytäntö]] saadaksesi lisätietoja ei-tekstuaalisen median lisäämisestä Wikimedia Commonsiin.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Lisenssiä ei peruuteta:''' Hyväksyt, että et yksipuolisesti peruuta tai hae mitätöintiä millekään lisenssille, jonka olet myöntänyt näiden käyttöehtojen mukaisesti hankkeisiin tai ominaisuuksiin lisätylle tekstisisällölle tai ei-tekstuaaliselle medialle, vaikka lopettaisit palveluidemme käytön.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Vapaasti käytettävissä oleva sisältö:''' Vapaasti käytettävissä (eli ''public domainissa'') oleva sisältö on tervetullutta. On kuitenkin tärkeää, että vahvistat sisällön vapaan käytettävyyden Amerikan yhdysvaltojen lakien sekä muiden maiden lakien mukaisesti kyseisen paikallisen hankkeen edellyttämällä tavalla. Kun lisäät sisältöä, joka on vapaasti käytettävissä, takaat, että materiaali on todella vapaasti käytettävissä, ja suostut merkitsemään sen asianmukaisesti.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Uudelleenkäyttö:''' Ylläpitämämme sisällön uudelleenkäyttö on tervetullutta, mutta poikkeuksia on olemassa sisällölle, joka on lähetetty ”kohtuullisen käytön” (''fair use'') tai vastaavien sovellettavan tekijänoikeuslain poikkeusten nojalla. Kaiken uudelleenkäytön on oltava sovellettavan lisenssin tai lisenssien mukaisia.&lt;br /&gt;

Kun käytät uudelleen tai jaat Wikimedia-yhteisön tuottamaan tekstisivua, suostut nimeämään tekijät jollakin seuraavista tavoista:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hyperlinkin (mikäli mahdollista) tai URL-osoitteen kautta sivulle tai sivuille, joita käytät uudelleen (koska jokaisella sivulla on historiasivu, jossa luetellaan kaikki osallistujat, kirjoittajat ja muokkaajat);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hyperlinkin (mikäli mahdollista) tai URL-osoitteen kautta vaihtoehtoiseen, vakaaseen verkkokopioon, joka on vapaasti saatavilla, joka on sovellettavan lisenssin mukainen ja joka nimeää tekijät tavalla, joka vastaa hankesivustolla tehtyä nimeämistä; tai&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;tekijäluettelon avulla (huom. luettelosta voidaan poistaa tekijät, joiden muokkaukset ovat hyvin vähäisiä tai epäolennaisia).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Jos tekstisisältö oli tuotu toisesta lähteestä, on mahdollista, että se on lisensoitu CC BY-SA -yhteensopivalla lisenssillä, muttei GFDL:n mukaisesti (kuten selitetty yllä kohdassa ”Tekstin tuominen”). Siinä tapauksessa suostut toimimaan CC BY-SA -lisenssin mukaisesti, eikä sinulla ole mahdollisuutta uudelleenlisensoida sitä GFDL:n mukaisesti. Saadaksesi selville lisenssin, joka koskee sisältöä, jota aiot uudelleenkäyttää tai uudelleenjakaa, sinun tulisi käydä läpi sivun alatunniste, sivuhistoria ja keskustelusivu.

Huomaa lisäksi, että ulkoisista lähteistä peräisin oleva teksti, joka on tuotu hankkeeseen, saattaa olla muita nimeämisvaatimuksia sisältävän lisenssin alainen. Käyttäjät suostuvat ilmoittamaan nämä nimeämistä koskevat lisävaatimukset selvästi. Hankkeesta riippuen tällaiset vaatimukset voivat näkyä esimerkiksi bannerissa tai muissa merkinnöissä, jotka osoittavat, että osa sisällöstä tai kaikki sisältö on alun perin julkaistu muualla. Kun tällaisia näkyviä merkintöjä on esillä, uudelleenkäyttäjien tulisi säilyttää ne.

Kaikkien ei-tekstuaalisten medioiden osalta sitoudut noudattamaan sovellettavaa lisenssiä, jolla teos on asetettu saataville (joka löytyy napsauttamalla teosta ja katsomalla sen kuvaussivun lisensointiosiota tai tarkistamalla kyseisen teoksen soveltuva lähdesivu). Kun uudelleenkäytät ylläpitämäämme sisältöä, sitoudut noudattamaan asiaankuuluvia nimeämisvaatimuksia, jotka liittyvät sovellettavaan lisenssiin tai lisensseihin.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Muutokset tai lisäykset aineistoon, jota uudelleenkäytät:''' Kun teet muutoksia tai lisäyksiä tekstiin, jonka olet saanut hankesivuilta, sitoudut lisensoimaan muutetun tai lisätyn sisällön CC BY-SA 4.0 -lisenssillä tai sen uudemmalla versiolla (tai kuten yllä on selostettu, toisella lisenssillä, jota kyseinen paikallinen hanke tai ominaisuus poikkeuksellisesti edellyttää).&lt;br /&gt;

Kun teet muutoksia tai lisäyksiä mihin tahansa mediaan, joka ei ole tekstiä, ja jonka olet saanut hankesivulta, sitoudut lisensoimaan muutetun tai lisätyn sisällön minkä tahansa lisenssin mukaisesti, jolla teos on annettu saataville.&lt;br /&gt;

Sekä tekstisisällön että ei-tekstuaalisen median kohdalla sitoudut ilmoittamaan selvästi, että alkuperäistä teosta on muutettu. Jos uudelleenkäytät wikin tekstisisältöä, riittää, että ilmoitat sivuhistoriassa, että olet tehnyt muutoksen tuotuun tekstiin. Sitoudut liittämään jokaiseen jakamaasi kopioon tai muokattuun versioon lisenssi-ilmoituksen, jossa ilmoitetaan, millä lisenssillä teos on julkaistu, sekä joko hyperlinkin tai URL-osoitteen lisenssin tekstiin tai kopion itse lisenssistä.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia-säätiö haluaa varmistaa, että muut käyttäjät voivat käyttää ylläpitämäämme sisältöä uudelleen ilman pelkoa vastuusta ja että se ei loukkaa muiden omistusoikeuksia. Ollaksemme oikeudenmukaisia käyttäjiämme sekä muita sisällöntuottajia ja tekijänoikeuksien haltijoita kohtaan, käytäntönämme on vastata väitettyjä loukkauksia koskeviin ilmoituksiin, jotka noudattavat Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”) -lain muotovaatimuksia. DMCA:n mukaisesti lopetamme asianmukaisissa olosuhteissa järjestelmämme ja verkkomme käyttäjät ja tunnuksenhaltijat, jotka toistuvasti rikkovat DMCA:ta hankkeissamme ja palveluissamme.

Olemme kuitenkin myös tietoisia siitä, etteivät kaikki sisällön poistopyynnöt ole päteviä tai tehty hyvässä tahdossa. Tällaisissa tapauksissa suosittelemme vahvasti käyttäjiä jättämään vastailmoituksen, kun he perustellusti uskovat, ettei DMCA-poistopyyntö ole pätevä tai asianmukainen. Lisätietoa siitä, mitä voit tehdä, jos arvioit  DMCA-ilmoituksen olevan epäasianmukaisesti tehty, voit katsoa [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] -verkkosivustolta.

Jos omistat sisällön, jota käytetään sopimattomasti jossain hankkeistamme ilman antamaasi lupaa, voit vaatia sisällön poistamista lähettämällä ilmoituksen DMCA:n nojalla. Tehdäksesi pyynnön lähetä sähköpostia meille osoitteeseen {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} tai [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|lähetä postitse pyyntö nimetylle asiamiehellemme]].

Vaihtoehtoisesti voit esittää pyynnön yhteisöllemme, joka usein käsittelee tekijänoikeusasiat nopeammin ja tehokkaammin kuin DMCA:ssa määrätty menettely. Siinä tapauksessa voit jättää ilmoituksen, jossa kerrot tekijänoikeuksia koskevan ongelmasi. Löydät ei-tyhjentävän ja epävirallisen luettelon eri paikallisissa hankkeissa sovellettavista menettelyistä [[:m:Copyright problems|Copyright Problems -sivulta]]. Ennen kuin jätät DMCA-pyynnön, voit myös lähettää sähköpostia yhteisölle osoitteeseen {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Kolmannen osapuolen verkkosivustot ja palvelut ==

Olet yksin vastuussa käyttämistäsi mistä tahansa kolmannen osapuolen verkkosivuista tai palveluista. Vaikka hankkeet ja hankesivustot sisältävät linkkejä kolmannen osapuolen verkkosivuille ja palveluihin, emme varmenna niitä emmekä ole vastuussa niiden saavutettavuudesta, tarkkuudesta tai niihin liittyvästä sisällöstä, tuotteista tai palveluista (mukaan lukien mutta ei rajoittuen mitkä tahansa virukset tai muita vahinkoa aiheuttavat ominaisuudet), eikä meillä ole mitään velvollisuuksia valvoa tällaista kolmannen osapuolen sisältöä.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Verkkosivustojen hallinta ==

Yhteisöllä on ensisijainen asema eri paikallisten hankkeiden sisäisten käytäntöjen luomisessa, soveltamisessa ja toimeenpanossa. Me Wikimedia-säätiössä puutumme harvoin yhteisön päätöksiin käytännöistä ja niiden soveltamisesta.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Meille on mahdollista ilmoittaa laittomasta sisällöstä tai käyttöehtojamme rikkovasta sisällöstä (mukaan lukien kaikki käytännöt ja muut asiakirjat, joihin on viitattu) muista syistä [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|ottamalla meihin suoraan yhteyttä]]. Voit kuitenkin yleensä tehdä pyynnön suoraan hankkeen yhteisölle: tämä voi olla tehokkaampaa ja vastaa paremmin hankkeidemme tavoitetta osallistaa käyttäjäyhteisöä.
&lt;/div&gt;


Jokainen hanke tarjoaa yleensä ”Ohje”- tai ”Ota yhteyttä” -sivuja lisäohjeita varten tai erityisiä työkaluja ongelmien raportointiin. Vaihtoehtoisesti – jos olet epävarma – voit pyytää apua yhteisön jäseniltä lähettämällä sähköpostia osoitteeseen {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} tai kielikohtaisempaan osoitteeseen [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] -sivulta. Huomio, että näitä postilaatikoita valvovat henkkeiden käyttäjät, ei Wikimedia-säätiö. Tästä johtuen heitä ei tule uhata tai esittää oikeudellisia vaatimuksia.

Jos otat yhteyttä säätiöön ongelman vuoksi, tutkimme yleensä, voidaanko ongelma tutkia olemassa olevilla yhteisöjohtoisilla mekanismeilla ja miten ja tarvittaessa ratkaista se.

Poikkeuksellisissa tapauksissa voi syntyä tarve tai yhteisö voi pyytää meitä puuttumaan erityisen ongelmalliseen käyttäjään tai erityisen ongelmalliseen sisältöön hankkeeseen kohdistuvan merkittävän häiriön tai vaarallisen käyttäytymisen vuoksi. Tällaisissa tapauksissa pidätämme oikeuden oman harkintamme mukaan (tai lain pakottaessa):

* tutkia palvelujen käyttöäsi (a) selvittääksemme, onko näiden käyttöehtojen, paikallisen hankkeen käytännön tai jonkun muun sovellettavan lain tai käytännön rikkomista tapahtunut, tai (b) toimia minkä tahansa sovellettavan lain, oikeusprosessin tai asianmukaisen viranomaispyynnön mukaisesti;
* havaita, estää tai muutoin torjua petoksia, turvallisuuteen ja tekniikkaan liittyviä asioita taikka vastata käyttäjän tekemiin tukipyyntöihin;
* kieltää, poistaa tai rajoittaa muokkausoikeuksia keneltä tahansa sellaiselta käyttäjältä, joka rikkoo näitä käyttöehtoja;
* kieltää käyttäjää muokkaamasta tai osallistumasta taikka estää käyttäjätunnus tai pääsy sivustoille näitä käyttöehtoja rikkovan toiminnan takia, mukaan lukien toistuvat laittoman materiaalin lisääminen soveltuvan lainsäädännön nojalla ja ihmisoikeusperiaatteiden mukaisesti;
* ryhtyä oikeustoimiin näitä käyttöehtoja rikkovia käyttäjiä vastaan (mukaan lukien ilmoittaminen asiasta lainvalvontaviranomaisille); ja
* hallinnoida muutoin hankesivustoja tavalla, joka helpottaa niiden asianmukaista toimintaa ja suojaa meidän, käyttäjiemme, lisensoijien, yhteistyökumppaneiden ja yleisön oikeuksia, omaisuutta ja turvallisuutta.

Näistä Wikimedia-säätiön moderointitoimista voidaan tiedottaa tai ne voidaan suorittaa ohjelmiston avulla (kuten liikennetulvasuojaus eli suojaus ”palvelunestolta”). Näissä tapauksissa ihmisen tekemä arviointi on yleensä saatavilla [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|pyynnöstä]].

Käyttäjiemme ja hankkeiden etujen vuoksi siinä äärimmäisessä tilanteessa, että jonkun henkilön tunnus tai pääsy on estetty tämän osion nojalla, heitä kielletään luomasta tai käyttämästä toista tunnusta samassa hankkeessa tai hakemasta pääsyä samaan hankkeeseen, ellemme anna nimenomaista lupaa. Rajoittamatta yhteisön auktoriteettia, säätiö itse ei kiellä käyttäjää muokkaamasta tai osallistumasta, tai estä käyttäjätunnusta tai pääsyä pelkästään vilpittömässä mielessä esitetyn kritiikin vuoksi, joka ei johda toimiin, jotka muuten rikkovat näitä käyttöehtoja tai yhteisön käytäntöjä.

Wikimedian yhteisö ja sen jäsenet voivat myös ryhtyä toimenpiteisiin silloin, kun se on sallittu sellaisissa yhteisön tai säätiön käytännöissä, joita sovelletaan tiettyyn paikalliseen hankkeeseen. Näihin toimenpiteisiin kuuluvat muun muassa käyttäjän varoittaminen, toiminnan tutkiminen, estäminen tai muokkaus- tai osallistumiskiellon antaminen sellaisille käyttäjille, jotka rikkovat näitä käytäntöjä. Sitoudut noudattamaan yhteisön tiettyyn paikalliseen hankkeeseen luomien riitojenratkaisuelinten (kuten välityslautakuntien) lopullisia päätöksiä asiassa. Tällaisiin päätöksiin voivat kuulua myös sellaiset rangaistukset, jotka on määrätty kyseisten paikallisten hankkeiden käytännöissä.

Erityisen ongelmallisille käyttäjille, joiden käyttäjätunnus tai pääsyoikeus on estetty useissa hankkeissa, voidaan antaa porttikielto osallistua mihinkään paikalliseen hankkeeseen, [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|järjestelmänlaajuisen porttikieltokäytännön]] mukaisesti. Erotuksena säätiön johtokunnan päätöksistä ja näistä käyttöehdoista, yhteisön päättämiä käytäntöjä, jotka voivat soveltua yhteen tai useampaan paikalliseen hankkeeseen (kuten järjestelmänlaajuinen porttikieltokäytäntö), voidaan muuttaa kyseisen yhteisön tekemällä päätöksellä, joka on tehty sen omien toimintatapojen mukaisesti.

Käyttäjätunnuksen estäminen ja osallistumis- tai muokkauskiellon antaminen käyttäjälle tämän kohdan nojalla tulee tapahtua näiden käyttöehtojen osion 13 mukaisesti.

Jos emme mielestäsi ole toimineet tyydyttävästi ongelmallista sisältöä koskevan ilmoituksen perusteella tai jos olet joutunut säätiön moderointitoimenpiteen kohteeksi, jonka haluat riitauttaa, voit ehkä [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|lähettää valituksen]].  Muita tietoja valitusreiteistä voidaan myös selittää sinulle tuolloin tai hankekohtaisilla ohjesivuilla.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pidätämme oikeuden keskeyttää (väliaikaisesti tai pysyvästi) käyttäjien tai kolmansien osapuolten ilmoitusten tai muun kirjeenvaihdon käsittelyn, koskivatpa ne väitetysti laitonta tai muuten ongelmallista sisältöä tai käyttäytymistä, tai pyytää valituksia moderointitoimista, jos tällainen kirjeenvaihto on tehty vilpillisessä mielessä, toistuvasti, perusteettomasti ja/tai loukkaavasti. Sopivissa olosuhteissa sähköpostiosoitteesi voidaan jopa estää sähköpostijärjestelmissämme, ja sinun on sitten otettava meihin yhteyttä [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|postiosoitteellamme]], jos haluat jatkaa yhteydenpitoa kanssamme eston aikana. Vähemmän vakavissa tapauksissa (esim. enintään kolme kohteliasta sähköpostiviestiä yhdestä tai useammasta aiheettomasta valituksesta) tämä on todennäköisesti väliaikaista. Tiheämpi tai loukkaavampi viestintä johtaa todennäköisemmin pysyviin toimenpiteisiin.

Käyttämällä ohjelmointirajapintojamme sitoudut noudattamaan kaikkia API:en käyttöä koskevia käytäntöjä, joihin kuuluvat muun muassa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]] ja [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (yhdessä ”API-dokumentaatio”), jotka on sisällytetty näihin käyttöehtoihin viitteenä.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Lopettaminen ==

Vaikka toivomme, että pysyt ja jatkat osallistumista hankkeisiin, voit lopettaa palveluidemme käytön milloin tahansa. Tietyissä (toivottavasti epätodennäköisissä) olosuhteissa voi olla tarpeen, että joko me itse tai Wikimedia-yhteisö tai sen jäsenet (kuten osissa 10 on kuvattu) lopettavat osan tai kaikki palveluistamme, irtisanovat nämä käyttöehdot, estävät tunnuksesi tai pääsysi tai estävät sinut käyttäjänä. Jos tunnuksesi tai pääsysi estetään tai muuten lopetetaan mistä tahansa syystä, tämä ei vaikuta tekemiisi julkisiin sisällön lisäyksiisi ja tallenteisiin toiminnastasi hankkeissa tai niihin liittyen (mukaan lukien meille lähettämäsi kirjeenvaihto) (sovellettavien käytäntöjen mukaisesti). Voit silti käyttää julkisia sivujamme vain lukeaksesi hankkeiden julkisesti saatavilla olevaa sisältöä. Tällaisissa olosuhteissa et kuitenkaan välttämättä pysty käyttämään tunnustasi tai asetuksiasi. Näiden käyttöehtojen muista määräyksistä riippumatta pidätämme kuitenkin oikeuden keskeyttää tai lopettaa palvelut milloin tahansa, syystä tai ilman syytä ja ilmoittamalla tai ilmoittamatta. Jopa sen jälkeen, kun käyttösi ja osallistumisesi on kielletty, estetty tai muuten keskeytetty, nämä käyttöehdot pysyvät voimassa sovellettavien määräysten osalta, mukaan lukien osiot 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9–16 ja 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Korostettu painotuksen vuoksi''

Toivomme, että kanssasi ei synny vakavia riitoja, mutta jos niitä syntyy, kehotamme sinua etsimään ratkaisua hankkeiden tai paikallisten hankkeiden ja Wikimedia-säätiön tarjoamien riitojenratkaisumenettelyjen tai -mekanismien kautta. Jos haluat esittää oikeudellisen vaatimuksen meitä vastaan, suostut jättämään ja ratkaisemaan sen yksinomaan San Franciscon piirikunnassa, Kaliforniassa sijaitsevassa osavaltion tai liittovaltion tuomioistuimessa. Hyväksyt myös, että näihin käyttöehtoihin sekä kaikkiin oikeudellisiin vaateisiin, joita saattaa syntyä sinun ja meidän välillämme (viittaamatta lainvalintaperiaatteisiin) sovelletaan Kalifornian osavaltion lakeja ja soveltuvin osin Amerikan yhdysvaltojen lakeja. Suostut alistumaan Kalifornian San Franciscon piirikunnassa sijaitsevien tuomioistuinten henkilökohtaiseen lainkäyttövaltaan ja hyväksyt, että paikka on asianmukainen kaikissa meihin tai näihin käyttöehtoihin liittyvissä oikeustoimissa tai -menettelyissä.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Jotta erimielisyydet voidaan käsitellä pikaisesti niiden synnyttyä, sitoudut siihen, että minkään lain tai säännöksen estämättä kaikki vaatimukset ja niiden perusteet, jotka johtuvat palvelujen käytöstä tai näistä käyttöehdoista, on esitettävä asiaan sovellettavan määräajan sisällä, tai mikäli aiemmin, yhden (1) vuoden kuluessa siitä, kun asiaan vaikuttavat seikat ovat kohtuudella voineet tulla vaatimuksen esittäjän tietoon (sillä uhalla, että oikeus vaatimusten esittämiseen menetetään lopullisesti).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Kuten näiden käyttöehtojen osiossa 4 on kuvattu, sitoudut ratkaisemaan ilmoittamatta tehtyjä maksettuja muokkauksia koskevien määräysten rikkomukset markkinointiyrityssovittelussa säätiön harkinnan mukaan. Markkinointiyrityssovittelut ovat '''sitovia''' sovitteluja, joissa sovittelija ratkaisee joko puolen tai koko päivän istunnon päätteeksi ratkaisematta jääneet riidanalaiset asiat oikeudellisesti sitovalla päätöksellä. Ne pidetään tele- tai videokokouksen muodossa. Jos henkilökohtainen tapaaminen vaaditaan, markkinointiyrityssovittelu tapahtuu San Franciscon piirikunnassa, Kaliforniassa. Osapuolet jakavat kaikki sovitteluun/välimiesmenettelyyn liittyvät palkkiot ja kulut tasan.

Suostut osana markkinointiyrityssovittelua tekemään yhteistyötä säätiön kanssa, mukaan lukien toimittamalla ajoissa kaikki hallussasi olevat asiakirjat, jotka liittyvät ilmoittamattomiin maksettuihin muokkaustoimiin, mukaan lukien käytetyt tunnukset, artikkelit, joita toimet koskivat, ja asiakkaat, jotka ostivat tällaisia palveluja.

Markkinointiyrityssovitteluihin sovelletaan Federal Arbitration Act -lakia siltä osin kuin sovittelijasta tulee välimies. Voittaneella osapuolella on oikeus periä asianajopalkkionsa (mukaan lukien kaikki kulut, jotka ovat tarpeen markkinointiyrityssovittelun sovellettavuuden määrittämiseksi ja sitovan tuloksen täytäntöönpanemiseksi) ja kaikki kustannukset, jotka liittyvät sen oikeuksien tutkimiseen ja täytäntöönpanoon. Asianomaisen voidaan katsoa ”voittaneen”, vaikka se ei menestyisi jokaisen esitetyn vaatimuksen osalta.

Jos jostain syystä kaikki nämä markkinointiyrityssovittelua koskevat vaatimukset todetaan täytäntöönpanokelvottomiksi, sitoudut ratkaisemaan kaikki riidat tämän osion alussa kuvatulla tavalla.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Me Wikimedia-säätiössä teemme parhaamme tarjotaksemme opetuksellista ja informatiivista sisältöä hyvin laajalle yleisölle, mutta käytät palveluitamme omalla vastuullasi. Tarjoamme nämä palvelut ”sellaisenaan” ja ”saatavuuden mukaan” ja sanoudumme nimenomaisesti irti kaikista nimenomaisista tai välillisistä takuista mukaan lukien, mutta ei rajoittuen välilliset takuut myyntikelpoisuudesta, sopivuudesta tiettyyn tarkoitukseen ja loukkaamattomuudesta. Emme takaa, että palvelumme täyttävät vaatimuksesi, ovat turvallisia, suojattuja, keskeytymättömiä, oikea-aikaisia, tarkkoja tai virheettömiä tai että tietosi ovat turvassa.

Emme ole vastuussa kolmansien osapuolten sisällöstä, tiedoista tai toimista, ja vapautat meidät, johtajamme, virkailijamme, työntekijämme ja edustajamme kaikista tunnetuista ja tuntemattomista vaatimuksista ja vahingoista, jotka johtuvat tällaisista kolmansiin osapuoliin kohdistuvista vaatimuksista tai liittyvät niihin millään tavalla. Mikään suullinen tai kirjallinen neuvo tai tieto, jonka olet saanut meiltä tai palveluidemme kautta tai palveluistamme, ei luo mitään takuuta, jota ei ole nimenomaisesti mainittu näissä käyttöehdoissa.

Kaikki palveluidemme käytön kautta ladattu tai muuten hankittu materiaali tapahtuu oman harkintasi mukaan ja omalla vastuullasi, ja olet yksin vastuussa kaikista tietokonejärjestelmällesi aiheutuvista vahingoista tai tietojen menetyksistä, jotka johtuvat tällaisen materiaalin lataamisesta. Hyväksyt, että meillä ei ole vastuuta palvelun ylläpitämän sisällön tai viestinnän poistamisesta tai tallentamisen tai lähettämisen epäonnistumisesta. Pidätämme oikeuden luoda käyttö- ja tallennusrajoituksia oman harkintamme mukaan milloin tahansa ilmoittamalla tai ilmoittamatta.

Jotkin valtiot tai lainkäyttöalueet eivät salli tämän osion vastuuvapausilmoitusten tyyppejä, joten ne eivät välttämättä koske sinua osittain tai kokonaan laista riippuen.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. Vastuunrajoitus&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Wikimedia-säätiö ei ole vastuussa sinulle tai millekään muulle osapuolelle mistään suorista, epäsuorista, satunnaisista, erityisistä, välillisistä tai esimerkillisistä vahingoista mukaan lukien, mutta ei rajoittuen vahingot voittojen, liikearvon, käytön, tietojen tai muiden aineettomien menetysten menetyksestä, riippumatta siitä, onko meille ilmoitettu tällaisen vahingon mahdollisuudesta. Vastuumme ei missään tapauksessa ylitä yhteensä tuhatta Yhdysvaltain dollaria (1 000,00 USD). Siinä tapauksessa, että sovellettava laki ei salli vastuun tai satunnaisten tai välillisten vahinkojen rajoittamista tai poissulkemista, yllä oleva rajoitus tai poissulkeminen ei välttämättä koske sinua, vaikka vastuumme rajoittuu sovellettavan lain sallimaan enimmäismäärään.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Muutokset näihin käyttöehtoihin ==

Aivan kuten Wikimedia-yhteisön panos on välttämätön hankkeiden kasvulle ja ylläpidolle, uskomme, että yhteisön panos on välttämätön, jotta nämä käyttöehdot voivat palvella käyttäjiämme oikein. Se on myös olennaista oikeudenmukaisen sopimuksen kannalta. Siksi toimitamme nämä käyttöehdot sekä kaikki näiden käyttöehtojen merkittävät tulevat muutokset yhteisön kommentoitavaksi vähintään kolmekymmentä (30) päivää ennen kommenttiajan päättymistä. Jos tuleva muutosehdotus on merkittävä, annamme 30 päivää lisäaikaa kommenteille sen jälkeen, kun olemme julkaisseet käännöksen ehdotetusta versiosta vähintään kolmella kielellä (valittu harkintamme mukaan). Yhteisöä kannustetaan kääntämään ehdotettu muutos tarvittaessa muille kielille. Oikeudellisista tai hallinnollisista syistä johtuvista muutoksista, virheellisen lausunnon korjaamisesta tai yhteisön kommentteihin tehdyistä muutoksista ilmoitamme asiasta vähintään kolme (3) päivää etukäteen.

Koska näitä käyttöehtoja voi olla tarpeen muuttaa ajoittain, ilmoitamme tällaisista muutoksista ja annamme mahdollisuuden kommentoida hankesivustojen kautta ja ilmoituksella [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]-sähköpostilistalla. Pyydämme kuitenkin, että tarkastat näiden käyttöehtojen uusimman version säännöllisesti. Jos jatkat palveluidemme käyttöä sen jälkeen, kun uudet käyttöehdot ovat tulleet voimaan ilmoitus- ja tarkistusjakson jälkeen, hyväksyt nämä käyttöehdot. Suojellaksemme Wikimedia-säätiötä ja muita kaltaisiasi käyttäjiä, jos et hyväksy käyttöehtojamme, et voi käyttää palveluitamme.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Muut ehdot==

Nämä käyttöehdot eivät luo työsuhdetta, edustussuhdetta, kumppanuutta, yhteistä määräysvaltaa tai yhteisyritystä sinun ja meidän, Wikimedia-säätiön, välille. Euroopan talousalueen lakien, Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan lakien tai muiden samankaltaista käsitettä sisältävien lakien mukaisesti et toimi säätiön ”alaisuudessa” käyttäessäsi palveluita. Jos et ole allekirjoittanut erillistä sopimusta kanssamme, nämä käyttöehdot muodostavat koko sopimuksen sinun ja meidän välillämme. Jos näiden käyttöehtojen ja sinun ja meidän välisen allekirjoitetun kirjallisen sopimuksen välillä on ristiriita, allekirjoitettu sopimus on määräävä.

Suostut siihen, että voimme lähettää sinulle ilmoituksia, mukaan lukien käyttöehtojen muutoksia koskevia ilmoituksia, sähköpostitse, tavallisella postilla tai julkaisemalla ne hankkeissa tai hankesivustoilla.

Jos emme missään olosuhteissa sovella tai pane täytäntöön jotakin näiden käyttöehtojen määräystä, se ei tarkoita kyseisestä määräyksestä luopumista.

Ymmärrät, että ellemme ole kirjallisesti toisin sopineet, et odota saavasi korvausta mistään toiminnasta, panoksesta tai ideasta, jonka tarjoat meille, yhteisölle tai hankkeille tai paikallisille hankkeille.

Huolimatta mistään päinvastaisesta määräyksestä näissä käyttöehdoissa, me (Wikimedia-säätiö) ja sinä sovimme, että emme muuta minkään hankkeissa tai paikallisissa hankkeissa käytettävän vapaan lisenssin sovellettavia ehtoja ja vaatimuksia, kun tällainen vapaa lisenssi on näiden käyttöehtojen valtuuttama.

Nämä käyttöehdot on kirjoitettu englanniksi (Yhdysvallat). Vaikka toivomme, että näiden käyttöehtojen käännökset ovat tarkkoja, mutta jos alkuperäisen englanninkielisen version ja käännöksen välillä on merkityseroja, on alkuperäinen englanninkielinen versio ensisijainen.

Jos jokin näiden käyttöehtojen määräys tai sen osa todetaan laittomaksi, mitättömäksi tai täytäntöönpanokelvottomaksi, kyseinen määräys tai sen osa katsotaan erotetuksi näistä käyttöehdoista ja pannaan täytäntöön niin laajasti kuin on sallittua, ja kaikki muut näiden käyttöehtojen määräykset pysyvät täysin voimassa ja pätevinä.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Kiitos! ==

Arvostamme sitä, että käytit aikaa näiden käyttöehtojen lukemiseen, ja olemme erittäin iloisia saadessamme sinut osallistumaan hankkeisiin ja käyttämään palveluitamme. Panoksesi avulla autat rakentamaan jotain todella suurta – ei vain tärkeää kokoelmaa yhteistyössä muokattuja viitehankkeita, jotka tarjoavat opetusta ja tietoa miljoonille, joilla ei muuten olisi pääsyä, vaan myös elinvoimaisen samanhenkisten ja sitoutuneiden tovereiden yhteisön, joka keskittyy erittäin jaloon tavoitteeseen.

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; '''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/translate&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt; Our Vision Statement&lt;/translate&gt;]]

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Free content}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/translate&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;!--T:10--&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

&lt;!--T:11--&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;!--T:11.0--&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters&lt;/tvar&gt;|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 1. Our Services == &lt;!--T:11a--&gt;

&lt;!--T:11b--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

&lt;!--T:119--&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

&lt;!--T:120--&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; '''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; '''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy == &lt;!--T:14--&gt;

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
We ask that you review the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 3. Content We Host == &lt;!--T:16--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:17--&gt; '''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:18--&gt; '''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities == &lt;!--T:19--&gt;

&lt;!--T:20--&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;!--T:21--&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;!--T:22--&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:104--&gt;
:::* you report any vulnerabilities to the relevant developers (or fix it yourself); and&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:105--&gt;

{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:113--&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:122--&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;!--T:114--&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure&lt;/tvar&gt;|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].

&lt;!--T:33a--&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions&lt;/tvar&gt;|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

'''Marketing Company Mediations'''

&lt;!--T:124--&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

== 6. Trademarks == &lt;!--T:36--&gt;

&lt;!--T:37--&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content == &lt;!--T:38--&gt;

&lt;!--T:39--&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;!--T:40--&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:141--&gt;
* [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:42--&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

&lt;!--T:43--&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:44--&gt; '''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:45--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:46--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:47--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:48--&gt; '''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; '''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:52--&gt; '''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; '''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:54--&gt; '''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:55--&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:56--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:57--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:58--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

&lt;!--T:60--&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; '''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
== 8. DMCA Compliance == &lt;!--T:65--&gt;

&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:67--&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//lumendatabase.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Lumen Database] website.

&lt;!--T:68--&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns&lt;/tvar&gt;|snail mail our designated agent]].

&lt;!--T:68b--&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Copyright problems&lt;/tvar&gt;|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|9}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources == &lt;!--T:69--&gt;

&lt;!--T:70--&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites == &lt;!--T:71--&gt;

&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

&lt;!--T:126--&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community.

&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or a more language-specific address from the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

&lt;!--T:128--&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

&lt;!--T:73--&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|upon request]].

&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

&lt;!--T:75a--&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans&lt;/tvar&gt;|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

&lt;!--T:75b--&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:131--&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals&lt;/tvar&gt;|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;!--T:132--&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.
&lt;/translate&gt;

== 11. Resolutions and Project Policies == &lt;!--T:76--&gt;

&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions&lt;/tvar&gt;|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 12. API Terms == &lt;!--T:133--&gt;

&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|User-Agent Policy]], the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;wikitech:Robot policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Robot Policy]], and the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette&lt;/tvar&gt;|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;translate&gt;
== 13. Termination == &lt;!--T:78--&gt;

&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.&lt;/translate&gt;

''Highlighted for emphasis''

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:82--&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred).&lt;/translate&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use == &lt;!--T:90--&gt;

&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

&lt;!--T:92--&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]&lt;/tvar&gt;. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 18. Other Terms == &lt;!--T:93--&gt;

&lt;!--T:94--&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;!--T:95--&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;!--T:96--&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;!--T:97--&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;!--T:97b--&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:98--&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

&lt;!--T:99--&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! == &lt;!--T:100--&gt;

&lt;!--T:101--&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; '''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/translate&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt; Our Vision Statement&lt;/translate&gt;]]

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Free content}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/translate&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;!--T:10--&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

&lt;!--T:11--&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;!--T:11.0--&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters&lt;/tvar&gt;|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 1. Our Services == &lt;!--T:11a--&gt;

&lt;!--T:11b--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

&lt;!--T:119--&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

&lt;!--T:120--&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; '''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; '''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy == &lt;!--T:14--&gt;

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
We ask that you review the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 3. Content We Host == &lt;!--T:16--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:17--&gt; '''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:18--&gt; '''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities == &lt;!--T:19--&gt;

&lt;!--T:20--&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;!--T:21--&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;!--T:22--&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:23--&gt;
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:24--&gt;
: '''Violating the Privacy of Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;

::* Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 years, or under the age of majority where you are if higher than 18 years, for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:26--&gt;
: '''Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:27--&gt;
::* Intentionally or knowingly posting content that constitutes libel or defamation under the laws of the United States of America;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intent to deceive or mislead others;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:28--&gt;
: '''Committing Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights'''&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:31--&gt;
::* Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography or child sexual abuse material, or encouraging, grooming, or advocating for others to create or share such material;
::* Posting or trafficking in obscene material that is unlawful under applicable law; and
::* Using the services in a manner that is inconsistent with applicable law.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:33--&gt;
::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of other users;
::* Engaging in automated uses of the Project Websites that are abusive or disruptive of the services, violate acceptable usage policies where available, or have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on an API, Project Website or the networks or servers connected with a particular Project Website;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:140--&gt;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;
::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and
::* Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any of our technical systems or networks unless all the following conditions are met:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:102--&gt;
:::* such actions do not unduly abuse or disrupt our technical systems or networks;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt;
:::* such actions are not for personal gain (except for credit for your work);&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:104--&gt;
:::* you report any vulnerabilities to the relevant developers (or fix it yourself); and&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:105--&gt;
:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:113--&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:122--&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;!--T:114--&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure&lt;/tvar&gt;|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].


&lt;!--T:124--&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:33a--&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions&lt;/tvar&gt;|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|5}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 5. Password Security == &lt;!--T:34--&gt;

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 6. Trademarks == &lt;!--T:36--&gt;

&lt;!--T:37--&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content == &lt;!--T:38--&gt;

&lt;!--T:39--&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;!--T:40--&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:141--&gt;
* [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:42--&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

&lt;!--T:43--&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:44--&gt; '''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:45--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:46--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:47--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:48--&gt; '''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; '''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:52--&gt; '''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; '''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:54--&gt; '''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:55--&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:56--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:57--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:58--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

&lt;!--T:60--&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; '''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. DMCA Compliance == &lt;!--T:65--&gt;

&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:67--&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//lumendatabase.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Lumen Database] website.

&lt;!--T:68--&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns&lt;/tvar&gt;|snail mail our designated agent]].

&lt;!--T:68b--&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Copyright problems&lt;/tvar&gt;|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources == &lt;!--T:69--&gt;

&lt;!--T:70--&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites == &lt;!--T:71--&gt;

&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

&lt;!--T:126--&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community.

&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or a more language-specific address from the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

&lt;!--T:128--&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

&lt;!--T:73--&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|upon request]].

&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

&lt;!--T:75a--&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans&lt;/tvar&gt;|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

&lt;!--T:75b--&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:131--&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals&lt;/tvar&gt;|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;!--T:132--&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions&lt;/tvar&gt;|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 12. API Terms == &lt;!--T:133--&gt;

&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|User-Agent Policy]], the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;wikitech:Robot policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Robot Policy]], and the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette&lt;/tvar&gt;|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;translate&gt;
== 13. Termination == &lt;!--T:78--&gt;

&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.&lt;/translate&gt;

''Highlighted for emphasis''

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:82--&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred).&lt;/translate&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material.

We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use == &lt;!--T:90--&gt;

&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

&lt;!--T:92--&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]&lt;/tvar&gt;. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 18. Other Terms == &lt;!--T:93--&gt;

&lt;!--T:94--&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;!--T:95--&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;!--T:96--&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;!--T:97--&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;!--T:97b--&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:98--&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! == &lt;!--T:100--&gt;

&lt;!--T:101--&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; '''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/translate&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt; Our Vision Statement&lt;/translate&gt;]]

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Free content}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/translate&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;!--T:10--&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

&lt;!--T:11--&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;!--T:11.0--&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters&lt;/tvar&gt;|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 1. Our Services == &lt;!--T:11a--&gt;

&lt;!--T:11b--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

&lt;!--T:119--&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

&lt;!--T:120--&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; '''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; '''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy == &lt;!--T:14--&gt;

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
We ask that you review the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 3. Content We Host == &lt;!--T:16--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:17--&gt; '''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:18--&gt; '''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities == &lt;!--T:19--&gt;

&lt;!--T:20--&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;!--T:21--&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;!--T:22--&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:23--&gt;
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:24--&gt;
: '''Violating the Privacy of Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:25--&gt;

::* Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 years, or under the age of majority where you are if higher than 18 years, for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:26--&gt;
: '''Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:27--&gt;
::* Intentionally or knowingly posting content that constitutes libel or defamation under the laws of the United States of America;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intent to deceive or mislead others;

::* Engaging in fraud.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:28--&gt;
: '''Committing Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:31--&gt;
::* Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography or child sexual abuse material, or encouraging, grooming, or advocating for others to create or share such material;
::* Posting or trafficking in obscene material that is unlawful under applicable law; and
::* Using the services in a manner that is inconsistent with applicable law.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:33--&gt;
::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of other users;
::* Engaging in automated uses of the Project Websites that are abusive or disruptive of the services, violate acceptable usage policies where available, or have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on an API, Project Website or the networks or servers connected with a particular Project Website;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:140--&gt;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;
::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and
::* Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any of our technical systems or networks unless all the following conditions are met:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:102--&gt;
:::* such actions do not unduly abuse or disrupt our technical systems or networks;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt;
:::* such actions are not for personal gain (except for credit for your work);&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:104--&gt;
:::* you report any vulnerabilities to the relevant developers (or fix it yourself); and&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:105--&gt;
:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:113--&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:122--&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;!--T:114--&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure&lt;/tvar&gt;|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].


&lt;!--T:124--&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:33a--&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions&lt;/tvar&gt;|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|5}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 5. Password Security == &lt;!--T:34--&gt;

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 6. Trademarks == &lt;!--T:36--&gt;

&lt;!--T:37--&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content == &lt;!--T:38--&gt;

&lt;!--T:39--&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;!--T:40--&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:141--&gt;
* [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:42--&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

&lt;!--T:43--&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:44--&gt; '''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:45--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:46--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:47--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:48--&gt; '''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; '''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:52--&gt; '''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; '''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:54--&gt; '''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:55--&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:56--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:57--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:58--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

&lt;!--T:60--&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; '''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance == &lt;!--T:65--&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below). 

Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below. 

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''

&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:67--&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//lumendatabase.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Lumen Database] website.

&lt;!--T:68--&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns&lt;/tvar&gt;|snail mail our designated agent]].

&lt;!--T:68b--&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Copyright problems&lt;/tvar&gt;|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|9}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources == &lt;!--T:69--&gt;

&lt;!--T:70--&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites == &lt;!--T:71--&gt;

&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

&lt;!--T:126--&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community.

&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or a more language-specific address from the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

&lt;!--T:128--&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

&lt;!--T:73--&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|upon request]].

&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

&lt;!--T:75a--&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans&lt;/tvar&gt;|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

&lt;!--T:75b--&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:131--&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals&lt;/tvar&gt;|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;!--T:132--&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|11}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 11. Resolutions and Project Policies == &lt;!--T:76--&gt;

&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions&lt;/tvar&gt;|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 12. API Terms == &lt;!--T:133--&gt;

&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|User-Agent Policy]], the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;wikitech:Robot policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Robot Policy]], and the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette&lt;/tvar&gt;|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 13. Termination == &lt;!--T:78--&gt;

&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:106--&gt;
''Highlighted for emphasis''

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:82--&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred).&lt;/translate&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:86--&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

&lt;!--T:87--&gt;
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;translate&gt;
== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use == &lt;!--T:90--&gt;

&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

&lt;!--T:92--&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]&lt;/tvar&gt;. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 18. Other Terms == &lt;!--T:93--&gt;

&lt;!--T:94--&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;!--T:95--&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;!--T:96--&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;!--T:97--&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;!--T:97b--&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:98--&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

&lt;!--T:99--&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! == &lt;!--T:100--&gt;

&lt;!--T:101--&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:1--&gt; Our Terms of Use&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; '''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/translate&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt; Our Vision Statement&lt;/translate&gt;]]

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Free content}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/translate&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;!--T:10--&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

&lt;!--T:11--&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;!--T:11.0--&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters&lt;/tvar&gt;|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 1. Our Services == &lt;!--T:11a--&gt;

&lt;!--T:11b--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

&lt;!--T:119--&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

&lt;!--T:120--&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; '''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; '''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy == &lt;!--T:14--&gt;

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
We ask that you review the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 3. Content We Host == &lt;!--T:16--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:17--&gt; '''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:18--&gt; '''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities == &lt;!--T:19--&gt;

&lt;!--T:20--&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;!--T:21--&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;!--T:22--&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:23--&gt;
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:33--&gt;
::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of other users;
::* Engaging in automated uses of the Project Websites that are abusive or disruptive of the services, violate acceptable usage policies where available, or have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on an API, Project Website or the networks or servers connected with a particular Project Website;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:140--&gt;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;
::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:104--&gt;
:::* you report any vulnerabilities to the relevant developers (or fix it yourself); and&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:105--&gt;
:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:113--&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:122--&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;!--T:114--&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure&lt;/tvar&gt;|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].


&lt;!--T:124--&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:33a--&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions&lt;/tvar&gt;|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|5}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 5. Password Security == &lt;!--T:34--&gt;

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 6. Trademarks == &lt;!--T:36--&gt;

&lt;!--T:37--&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content == &lt;!--T:38--&gt;

&lt;!--T:39--&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;!--T:40--&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:141--&gt;
* [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:42--&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

&lt;!--T:43--&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:44--&gt; '''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:45--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:46--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:47--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:48--&gt; '''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; '''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:52--&gt; '''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; '''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:54--&gt; '''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:55--&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:56--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:57--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:58--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

&lt;!--T:60--&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; '''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance == &lt;!--T:65--&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below). 

Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below. 

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''

&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:67--&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//lumendatabase.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Lumen Database] website.

&lt;!--T:68--&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns&lt;/tvar&gt;|snail mail our designated agent]].

&lt;!--T:68b--&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Copyright problems&lt;/tvar&gt;|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources == &lt;!--T:69--&gt;

&lt;!--T:70--&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites == &lt;!--T:71--&gt;

&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

&lt;!--T:126--&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or a more language-specific address from the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

&lt;!--T:128--&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

&lt;!--T:73--&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|upon request]].

&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

&lt;!--T:75a--&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans&lt;/tvar&gt;|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

&lt;!--T:75b--&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:131--&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals&lt;/tvar&gt;|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;!--T:132--&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance&lt;/tvar&gt;|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;/translate&gt;

== 11. Resolutions and Project Policies == &lt;!--T:76--&gt;

&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions&lt;/tvar&gt;|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 12. API Terms == &lt;!--T:133--&gt;

&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|User-Agent Policy]], the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;wikitech:Robot policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Robot Policy]], and the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette&lt;/tvar&gt;|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 13. Termination == &lt;!--T:78--&gt;

&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:106--&gt;
''Highlighted for emphasis''

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:82--&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred).&lt;/translate&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:86--&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

&lt;!--T:87--&gt;
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.
&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:89--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|17}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use == &lt;!--T:90--&gt;

&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

&lt;!--T:92--&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]&lt;/tvar&gt;. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 18. Other Terms == &lt;!--T:93--&gt;

&lt;!--T:94--&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;!--T:95--&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;!--T:96--&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;!--T:97--&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;!--T:97b--&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:98--&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

&lt;!--T:99--&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! == &lt;!--T:100--&gt;

&lt;!--T:101--&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Free content}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/translate&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;!--T:10--&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

&lt;!--T:11--&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;!--T:11.0--&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters&lt;/tvar&gt;|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.&lt;/translate&gt;

== 1. Our Services == &lt;!--T:11a--&gt;

&lt;!--T:11b--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

&lt;!--T:119--&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

&lt;!--T:120--&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; '''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; '''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy == &lt;!--T:14--&gt;

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
We ask that you review the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 3. Content We Host == &lt;!--T:16--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:17--&gt; '''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:18--&gt; '''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities == &lt;!--T:19--&gt;

&lt;!--T:20--&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;!--T:21--&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;!--T:22--&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:23--&gt;
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;
::* Transmitting chain mail, junk mail, or spam to other users;

&lt;!--T:26--&gt;
: '''Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:27--&gt;
::* Intentionally or knowingly posting content that constitutes libel or defamation under the laws of the United States of America;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intent to deceive or mislead others;

::* Engaging in fraud.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:28--&gt;
: '''Committing Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights'''&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:31--&gt;
::* Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography or child sexual abuse material, or encouraging, grooming, or advocating for others to create or share such material;
::* Posting or trafficking in obscene material that is unlawful under applicable law; and
::* Using the services in a manner that is inconsistent with applicable law.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:33--&gt;
::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of other users;
::* Engaging in automated uses of the Project Websites that are abusive or disruptive of the services, violate acceptable usage policies where available, or have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on an API, Project Website or the networks or servers connected with a particular Project Website;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:140--&gt;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;
::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and
::* Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any of our technical systems or networks unless all the following conditions are met:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:102--&gt;
:::* such actions do not unduly abuse or disrupt our technical systems or networks;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt;
:::* such actions are not for personal gain (except for credit for your work);&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:104--&gt;
:::* you report any vulnerabilities to the relevant developers (or fix it yourself); and&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:105--&gt;
:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:113--&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:122--&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;!--T:114--&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure&lt;/tvar&gt;|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].


&lt;!--T:124--&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:33a--&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions&lt;/tvar&gt;|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|5}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 5. Password Security == &lt;!--T:34--&gt;

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 6. Trademarks == &lt;!--T:36--&gt;

&lt;!--T:37--&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content == &lt;!--T:38--&gt;

&lt;!--T:39--&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;!--T:40--&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:141--&gt;
* [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:42--&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

&lt;!--T:43--&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:44--&gt; '''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:45--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:46--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:47--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:48--&gt; '''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; '''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:52--&gt; '''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; '''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:54--&gt; '''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:55--&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:56--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:57--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:58--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

&lt;!--T:60--&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; '''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
== 8. Copyright Compliance == &lt;!--T:65--&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below). 

Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below. 

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''

&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:67--&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//lumendatabase.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Lumen Database] website.

&lt;!--T:68--&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns&lt;/tvar&gt;|snail mail our designated agent]].

&lt;!--T:68b--&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Copyright problems&lt;/tvar&gt;|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|9}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources == &lt;!--T:69--&gt;

&lt;!--T:70--&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites == &lt;!--T:71--&gt;

&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

&lt;!--T:126--&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or a more language-specific address from the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

&lt;!--T:128--&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

&lt;!--T:73--&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|upon request]].

&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

&lt;!--T:75a--&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans&lt;/tvar&gt;|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

&lt;!--T:75b--&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:131--&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals&lt;/tvar&gt;|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;!--T:132--&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance&lt;/tvar&gt;|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

== 11. Resolutions and Project Policies == &lt;!--T:76--&gt;

&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions&lt;/tvar&gt;|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 12. API Terms == &lt;!--T:133--&gt;

&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|User-Agent Policy]], the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;wikitech:Robot policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Robot Policy]], and the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette&lt;/tvar&gt;|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

== 13. Termination == &lt;!--T:78--&gt;

&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.&lt;/translate&gt;

''Highlighted for emphasis''

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:82--&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:86--&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

&lt;!--T:87--&gt;
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.
&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:89--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

{{anchor|17}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use == &lt;!--T:90--&gt;

&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

&lt;!--T:92--&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]&lt;/tvar&gt;. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 18. Other Terms == &lt;!--T:93--&gt;

&lt;!--T:94--&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;!--T:95--&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;!--T:96--&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;!--T:97--&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;!--T:97b--&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:98--&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

&lt;!--T:99--&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! == &lt;!--T:100--&gt;

&lt;!--T:101--&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; '''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/translate&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt; Our Vision Statement&lt;/translate&gt;]]

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Free content}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/translate&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;!--T:10--&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

&lt;!--T:11--&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;!--T:11.0--&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters&lt;/tvar&gt;|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 1. Our Services == &lt;!--T:11a--&gt;

&lt;!--T:11b--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

&lt;!--T:119--&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

&lt;!--T:120--&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; '''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; '''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities == &lt;!--T:19--&gt;

&lt;!--T:20--&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;!--T:21--&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;!--T:22--&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:23--&gt;
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;
::* Transmitting chain mail, junk mail, or spam to other users;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intention to seriously harm others, such as deliberate inducements to self-harm, or deliberate triggering of epilepsy.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:24--&gt;
: '''Violating the Privacy of Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:25--&gt;

::* Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 years, or under the age of majority where you are if higher than 18 years, for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:26--&gt;
: '''Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:27--&gt;
::* Intentionally or knowingly posting content that constitutes libel or defamation under the laws of the United States of America;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intent to deceive or mislead others;
::* Attempting to impersonate another user or individual, misrepresenting your affiliation with any individual or entity, hiding your affiliation with any individual or entity when disclosure is required by these terms or local Project policy, or using the name or username of another person with the intent to deceive; and
::* Engaging in fraud.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:28--&gt;
: '''Committing Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights'''&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:31--&gt;
::* Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography or child sexual abuse material, or encouraging, grooming, or advocating for others to create or share such material;
::* Posting or trafficking in obscene material that is unlawful under applicable law; and
::* Using the services in a manner that is inconsistent with applicable law.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:33--&gt;
::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of other users;
::* Engaging in automated uses of the Project Websites that are abusive or disruptive of the services, violate acceptable usage policies where available, or have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on an API, Project Website or the networks or servers connected with a particular Project Website;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:140--&gt;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;
::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and
::* Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any of our technical systems or networks unless all the following conditions are met:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:102--&gt;
:::* such actions do not unduly abuse or disrupt our technical systems or networks;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt;
:::* such actions are not for personal gain (except for credit for your work);&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:104--&gt;
:::* you report any vulnerabilities to the relevant developers (or fix it yourself); and&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:105--&gt;
:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:113--&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:122--&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;!--T:114--&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure&lt;/tvar&gt;|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].


&lt;!--T:124--&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:33a--&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions&lt;/tvar&gt;|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;

== 5. Password Security == &lt;!--T:34--&gt;

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 6. Trademarks == &lt;!--T:36--&gt;

&lt;!--T:37--&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content == &lt;!--T:38--&gt;

&lt;!--T:39--&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;!--T:40--&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:141--&gt;
* [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:42--&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

&lt;!--T:43--&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:44--&gt; '''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:45--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:46--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:47--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:48--&gt; '''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; '''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:52--&gt; '''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; '''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:54--&gt; '''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:55--&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:56--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:57--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:58--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

&lt;!--T:60--&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; '''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
== 8. Copyright Compliance == &lt;!--T:65--&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below). 

Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below. 

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''

&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:67--&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//lumendatabase.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Lumen Database] website.

&lt;!--T:68--&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns&lt;/tvar&gt;|snail mail our designated agent]].

&lt;!--T:68b--&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Copyright problems&lt;/tvar&gt;|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|9}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources == &lt;!--T:69--&gt;

&lt;!--T:70--&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites == &lt;!--T:71--&gt;

&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

&lt;!--T:126--&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or a more language-specific address from the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

&lt;!--T:128--&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

&lt;!--T:73--&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|upon request]].

&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

&lt;!--T:75a--&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans&lt;/tvar&gt;|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

&lt;!--T:75b--&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:131--&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals&lt;/tvar&gt;|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;!--T:132--&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance&lt;/tvar&gt;|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

== 11. Resolutions and Project Policies == &lt;!--T:76--&gt;

&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions&lt;/tvar&gt;|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 12. API Terms == &lt;!--T:133--&gt;

&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|User-Agent Policy]], the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;wikitech:Robot policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Robot Policy]], and the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette&lt;/tvar&gt;|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
== 13. Termination == &lt;!--T:78--&gt;

&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.&lt;/translate&gt;

''Highlighted for emphasis''

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:82--&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:86--&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

&lt;!--T:87--&gt;
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.
&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:89--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|17}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use == &lt;!--T:90--&gt;

&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

&lt;!--T:92--&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]&lt;/tvar&gt;. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 18. Other Terms == &lt;!--T:93--&gt;

&lt;!--T:94--&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;!--T:95--&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;!--T:96--&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;!--T:97--&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;!--T:97b--&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:98--&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

&lt;!--T:99--&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! == &lt;!--T:100--&gt;

&lt;!--T:101--&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; '''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/translate&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt; Our Vision Statement&lt;/translate&gt;]]

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Free content}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

&lt;!--T:5--&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/translate&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

&lt;!--T:9--&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;!--T:10--&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

&lt;!--T:11--&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;!--T:11.0--&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters&lt;/tvar&gt;|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 1. Our Services == &lt;!--T:11a--&gt;

&lt;!--T:11b--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

&lt;!--T:119--&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

&lt;!--T:120--&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; '''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; '''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy == &lt;!--T:14--&gt;

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
We ask that you review the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 3. Content We Host == &lt;!--T:16--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:17--&gt; '''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:18--&gt; '''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities == &lt;!--T:19--&gt;

&lt;!--T:20--&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct&lt;/tvar&gt;|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;!--T:21--&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;!--T:22--&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:23--&gt;
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;
::* Transmitting chain mail, junk mail, or spam to other users;

&lt;!--T:24--&gt;
: '''Violating the Privacy of Others'''&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:33--&gt;
::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of other users;
::* Engaging in automated uses of the Project Websites that are abusive or disruptive of the services, violate acceptable usage policies where available, or have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on an API, Project Website or the networks or servers connected with a particular Project Website;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:140--&gt;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;
::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:113--&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:122--&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;!--T:114--&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure&lt;/tvar&gt;|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].


&lt;!--T:124--&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:33a--&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions&lt;/tvar&gt;|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;

== 5. Password Security == &lt;!--T:34--&gt;

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 6. Trademarks == &lt;!--T:36--&gt;

&lt;!--T:37--&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content == &lt;!--T:38--&gt;

&lt;!--T:39--&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;!--T:40--&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:141--&gt;
* [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:42--&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

&lt;!--T:43--&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:44--&gt; '''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:45--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:46--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:47--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:48--&gt; '''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/&lt;/tvar&gt; Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; '''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:52--&gt; '''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; '''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:54--&gt; '''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:55--&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:56--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:57--&gt; Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:58--&gt; Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

&lt;!--T:60--&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; '''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
== 8. Copyright Compliance == &lt;!--T:65--&gt;

&lt;!--T:148--&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below). 

&lt;!--T:149--&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below. 

&lt;!--T:150--&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:151--&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''

&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;!--T:67--&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//lumendatabase.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Lumen Database] website.

&lt;!--T:68--&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns&lt;/tvar&gt;|snail mail our designated agent]].

&lt;!--T:68b--&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Copyright problems&lt;/tvar&gt;|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|9}}
&lt;translate&gt;

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources == &lt;!--T:69--&gt;

&lt;!--T:70--&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites == &lt;!--T:71--&gt;

&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

&lt;!--T:126--&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or a more language-specific address from the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

&lt;!--T:128--&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

&lt;!--T:73--&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|upon request]].

&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

&lt;!--T:75a--&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans&lt;/tvar&gt;|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

&lt;!--T:75b--&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:131--&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals&lt;/tvar&gt;|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;!--T:132--&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance&lt;/tvar&gt;|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

== 11. Resolutions and Project Policies == &lt;!--T:76--&gt;

&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions&lt;/tvar&gt;|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 12. API Terms == &lt;!--T:133--&gt;

&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|User-Agent Policy]], the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;wikitech:Robot policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Robot Policy]], and the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette&lt;/tvar&gt;|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;
== 13. Termination == &lt;!--T:78--&gt;

&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:106--&gt;
''Highlighted for emphasis''

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:82--&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:84--&gt;
At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:86--&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

&lt;!--T:87--&gt;
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.
&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:88--&gt; 16. Limitation on Liability&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:89--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|17}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use == &lt;!--T:90--&gt;

&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

&lt;!--T:92--&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]&lt;/tvar&gt;. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;translate&gt;
== 18. Other Terms == &lt;!--T:93--&gt;

&lt;!--T:94--&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;!--T:95--&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;!--T:96--&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;!--T:97--&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;!--T:97b--&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

&lt;!--T:98--&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

&lt;!--T:99--&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! == &lt;!--T:100--&gt;

&lt;!--T:101--&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.
&lt;/translate&gt;

'''''Stell dir eine Welt vor, in der jeder einzelne Mensch frei an der Summe allen Wissens teilhaben kann. Das ist unsere Verpflichtung.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Unsere Vision]]

Willkommen bei [[:w:de:Wikimedia|Wikimedia]]! Die ''Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.'' („wir“, „uns“ oder „Foundation“) ist eine nichtkommerzielle wohltätige Organisation mit Hauptsitz in San Francisco, Kalifornien, Vereinigte Staaten, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|deren Leitbild]] es ist, Menschen auf der ganzen Welt die Möglichkeit zu geben und sie dazu zu motivieren, Inhalte zusammenzustellen und zu entwickeln, die [[:de:Freie Inhalte|unter einer freien Lizenz]] stehen oder gemeinfrei sind, und diese kostenlos, effektiv und weltweit zu verbreiten.

Um unsere lebendige Gemeinschaft zu unterstützen, stellen wir die grundlegende Infrastruktur und den organisatorischen Rahmen für die Entwicklung der mehrsprachigen Wiki-Projekte und ihrer Versionen (wie auf unserer [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Seite zu Wikimedia-Projekten]] näher beschrieben; hier als „Projekte“ bezeichnet) sowie für andere Vorhaben, die diesem Ziel dienlich sind, zur Verfügung. Unser Ziel ist es, die Informationen und Bildungsinhalte, die in unseren Projekten verfügbar sind, im Internet dauerhaft unentgeltlich bereitzustellen.

Wir heißen dich („du“ oder der „Benutzer“) als Leser oder Beitragenden bei den Wikimedia-Projekten willkommen und ermutigen dich, dich der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft anzuschließen. Zuvor möchten wir dich allerdings bitten, die folgenden Nutzungsbedingungen („Nutzungsbedingungen“) zu lesen und ihnen zuzustimmen.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Diese Nutzungsbedingungen informieren dich über die öffentlichen Leistungen der Wikimedia Foundation, unsere Beziehung zu dir als Nutzer und über die Rechte und Pflichten, an denen wir uns gemeinsam orientieren. Wir stellen eine enorme Menge an Bildungs- und Informationsinhalten bereit, die alle von Benutzern wie dir beigetragen worden sind. Wir selbst beteiligen uns grundsätzlich nicht an der Erstellung, Überwachung oder Löschung von Inhalten (mit der seltenen Ausnahme von Richtlinien wie diesen Nutzungsbedingungen oder von Änderungen, die erforderlich sind, um die Einhaltung gesetzlicher Bestimmungen zu gewährleisten oder bei dringenden Androhungen ernsthafter Schäden). Dies bedeutet, dass die inhaltliche Kontrolle in deinen Händen und denen der anderen Benutzer liegt, die Inhalte schaffen und verwalten.

Die Gemeinschaft – das Netzwerk von Benutzern, die die Projekte und/oder Websites (hier als „Projekt-Websites“ bezeichnet) benutzen und kontinuierlich an deren Aufbau arbeiten – ist das wichtigste Instrument, über das unsere Ziele erreicht werden. Die Gemeinschaft leistet Beiträge zu unseren Websites und unterstützt uns dabei, unsere Projekte und Projekt-Websites zu verwalten. Sie nimmt auch die wichtige Aufgabe wahr, Regeln für die jeweiligen Projektversionen (zum Beispiel die verschiedenen Sprachversionen des Wikipedia-Projekts oder das mehrsprachige Wikimedia Commons) zu schaffen und durchzusetzen.

Wir laden dich, den Benutzer, ein, dich als Beitragender, Bearbeiter oder Autor einzubringen. Dabei solltest du allerdings die Regeln beachten, die für jede der unabhängigen Projektversionen gelten, darunter der [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|universelle Verhaltenskodex]] (UCoC), der für alle Projektversionen gilt. Unser größtes Projekt ist Wikipedia, aber wir unterhalten auch andere Projekte mit jeweils eigenen Zielsetzungen und Arbeitsweisen. In jeder dieser Projektversionen arbeitet eine Gruppe von Beitragenden, Bearbeitern und Autoren zusammen, um die Inhalte der jeweiligen Projektversion zu erstellen und zu verwalten. Wir laden dich ein, dich diesen Gruppen anzuschließen und mit ihnen an der Verbesserung der Projekte zu arbeiten. Da wir uns dem Ziel verschrieben haben, Inhalte für die Öffentlichkeit frei verfügbar zu machen, werden Inhalte, die du beiträgst, unter einer freien Lizenz stehen oder gemeinfrei sein.

Bitte beachte, dass du für deine sämtlichen Beiträge, Bearbeitungen und Weiternutzungshandlungen nach dem Recht der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika sowie anderen anwendbaren Rechtsordnungen (darunter gegebenenfalls derjenigen des Landes, in dem du lebst oder im dem sich der Gegenstand deiner Beiträge befindet) verantwortlich bist. Es ist aus diesem Grund wichtig, dass du beim Einstellen, Verändern oder Weiternutzen von Inhalten vorsichtig vorgehst. In Anbetracht dieser Verantwortung gibt es einige Regeln dazu, was du nicht tun darfst; die meisten davon dienen entweder deinem eigenen Schutz oder dem Schutz anderer Benutzer. Bitte denke daran, dass die Inhalte, die wir bereitstellen, lediglich der allgemeinen Information dienen; falls du in bestimmten Fragen den Rat von Experten benötigst (etwa in medizinischen, rechtlichen oder finanziellen Angelegenheiten), solltest du daher die Hilfe geeigneter Fachleute in Anspruch nehmen. Da diese Nutzungsbedingungen darüber hinaus noch weitere wichtige Hinweise und Haftungsausschlüsse beinhalten, bitten wir dich darum, sie vollständig zu lesen.

Zur Klarstellung sei darauf hingewiesen, dass andere Organisationen wie [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|lokale Wikimedia-Chapter]] und Vereine, die mitunter dieselben Ziele verfolgen, dennoch rechtlich unabhängig und verschieden von der Wikimedia Foundation sind. Sofern nicht anders von der Foundation als autorisierter Partei auf einer entsprechenden Projekt-Website angegeben, tragen diese anderen Organisationen keine Verantwortung für die Abläufe oder Inhalte der Projekt-Website.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Unsere Leistungen ==

Die Wikimedia Foundation verschreibt sich dem Ziel, den Ausbau, die Entwicklung sowie die Verbreitung freier Inhalte in vielerlei Sprachen zu fördern und den vollständigen Inhalt dieser Wiki-basierten Projekte der Öffentlichkeit kostenfrei zur Verfügung zu stellen. Unsere Rolle besteht dabei darin, einige der größten gemeinschaftlich geschaffenen Nachschlagewerke der Welt bereitzustellen; die einzelnen Projekte [//www.wikimedia.org finden sich hier]. Allerdings fungieren wir nur als Bereitstellungsdienstleister und unterhalten die Infrastruktur und den organisatorischen Rahmen. Diese Infrastruktur und der Rahmen ermöglichen unseren Nutzern, die Projekte aufzubauen, indem sie selbst neue Inhalte beitragen und bestehende bearbeiten. Sie ermöglichen unseren Benutzern auch die Weiterverwendung dieser Inhalte. Die von uns unterhaltene Infrastruktur umfasst eine spezielle technologische Infrastruktur, die es Benutzern ermöglicht, programmgesteuert mit Inhalten in Projekten (über die „Programmierschnittstelle“ oder „API“) zu interagieren und diese weiterzuverwenden, sowie mobile Anwendungen.

Wie im weiteren Verlauf der Nutzungsbedingungen verwendet, bestehen unsere Dienste aus: [//www.wikimedia.org den Projekt-Websites, die wir betreiben], der technischen Infrastruktur, die wir warten, und allen technischen Räumen, die wir für die Wartung und Verbesserung unserer Projekte bereitstellen.

Aufgrund unserer besonderen Rolle gibt es einige Dinge, die du wissen solltest, wenn es um unsere Beziehung zu dir, den Projekten und anderen Benutzern geht:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Wir nehmen keine redaktionelle Rolle wahr:''' Weil die Projekte gemeinschaftlich bearbeitet werden, wird die überwiegende Mehrheit der bereitgehaltenen Inhalte von Benutzern eingebracht; uns kommt dabei keine redaktionelle Rolle zu. Das bedeutet, dass wir Projektinhalte grundsätzlich nicht überwachen oder bearbeiten und keinerlei Verantwortung für diese übernehmen. Entsprechend machen wir uns auch keine über unsere Dienste geäußerten Meinungen zu eigen, sofern wir nicht etwas anderes angegeben haben. Weder garantieren noch versprechen wir bezüglich irgendwelcher von Benutzern eingebrachter Inhalte in den Projekten, dass diese wahrheitsgemäß, richtig oder verlässlich wären.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Du bist für deine Handlungen selbst verantwortlich:''' Du bist rechtlich für deine Bearbeitungen und Beiträge in den Projekten, deine Weiterverwendung von Inhalten in den Projekten, deine Nutzung der APIs und deine Nutzung unserer Dienste im Allgemeinen verantwortlich. Zu deinem eigenen Schutz ist es ratsam, Vorsicht walten zu lassen und Aktionen zu vermeiden, die in einer der anwendbaren Rechtsordnungen straf- oder zivilrechtliche Folgen nach sich ziehen können. Zu den anwendbaren Rechtsordnungen zählt mindestens das Recht der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und das Recht des Staates Kalifornien. Für andere Länder wird dies im Einzelfall festgelegt. Wenn wir auch mit entsprechenden Maßnahmen mitunter nicht einverstanden sein mögen, warnen wir Benutzer – insbesondere Autoren und Beitragende – dass Behörden aus anderen Ländern als den USA möglicherweise versuchen werden, Rechtsnormen anderer Staaten auf deine Handlungen anzuwenden, zum Beispiel die Gesetze, die an deinem Wohnort oder dem Ort, an dem du Inhalte betrachtest oder bearbeitest, gelten. Wir können grundsätzlich weder Schutz noch Garantien, Immunität oder Entschädigungsleistungen gegen die Anwendung solcher Rechtsordnungen gewähren.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 3. Bereitgestellte Inhalte ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Es kann sein, dass du bestimmte Materialien als anstößig oder fehlerhaft empfindest:''' Da wir eine große Bandbreite von Inhalten bereitstellen, die durch andere Benutzer erstellt oder zusammengestellt werden, kann es vorkommen, dass du auf Material stößt, das du als verletzend, fehlerhaft, irreführend, falsch beschrieben oder in anderer Weise als anstößig empfindest. Aus diesem Grund bitten wir dich, bei der Inanspruchnahme unserer Dienste von deinem Menschenverstand und deinem Urteilsvermögen Gebrauch zu machen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Die Inhalte unserer Projekte dienen nur der allgemeinen Information:''' Auch wenn unsere Projekte eine große Menge an Informationen bereithalten, die sich auf professionelle Themen beziehen, unter anderem auf medizinische, rechtliche oder finanzielle Angelegenheiten, werden diese Inhalte nur zum Zwecke der allgemeinen Information dargestellt. Sie sollten nicht als fachkundiger Rat aufgefasst werden. Wir bitten dich, unabhängige professionelle Beratung von Personen einzuholen, die auf dem betreffenden Gebiet ausgewiesen oder qualifiziert sind, statt auf Basis von Informationen, Meinungen oder Ratschlägen zu handeln, die von einer der Projekt-Websites stammen.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Unterlassen bestimmter Handlungen ==

Die von der Wiki­media Foun­dation unter­hal­tenen Pro­jekte existieren nur auf­grund einer dyna­mi­schen Gemein­schaft aus Be­nut­zern wie dir, die zusam­men­arbeiten, um In­halte zu ver­fas­sen, zu be­ar­bei­ten und zu be­treuen. Wir be­grüßen deine Mit­wir­kung an dieser Gemein­schaft. Wir er­mu­ti­gen dich dazu, einen respekt­vollen und höf­li­chen Um­gang mit ande­ren in der Ge­mein­schaft zu pfle­gen, in guter Ab­sicht zu han­deln und Be­ar­bei­tun­gen und Bei­trä­ge ein­zu­bringen, die den Zielen des gemein­samen Projektes dienlich sind. Wir bitten alle Benutzer, den [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|universellen Verhaltenskodex]] („UCoC“) zu lesen und zu befolgen, der Anforderungen für die kollegiale und höfliche Zusammenarbeit in allen von uns bereitgestellten Projekten festlegt.

Bestimmte Handlungen, ob sie nun gemäß anwendbarem Recht legal oder illegal sind, können für andere Benutzer schädlich sein und gegen unsere Regeln verstoßen, und einige Handlungen können zudem rechtliche Folgen für dich haben. Aus diesem Grund ist es zu deinem eigenen Schutz und zum Schutz anderer Benutzer nicht gestattet, derartige Handlungen in unseren Projekten oder mit deren Nutzung vorzunehmen. Zu diesen Handlungen gehören:

:'''Belästigung und Beleidigung anderer'''
::* Drohungen, Stalking, Spam, Vandalismus oder Belästigung, wie im UCoC beschrieben;
::* Senden von Kettenbriefen, Junk-E-Mails oder Spam an andere Benutzer;

&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Falsche Angaben, Vorspiegelung einer fremden Identität oder Begehung von Betrug'''
::* Absichtliches oder bewusstes Einstellen von verleumderischen oder diffamierenden Inhalten gemäß den Gesetzen der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika;
::* Veröffentlichung oder Modifizierung von Inhalten mit der Absicht, andere zu täuschen oder irrezuführen;
::* der Versuch, den Anschein zu erwecken, ein anderer Benutzer oder eine andere Person zu sein; deine Verbindung mit irgendeiner Person oder Einrichtung falsch wiederzugeben; deine Zugehörigkeit zu einer natürlichen oder juristischen Person zu verbergen, wenn die Offenlegung durch diese Bedingungen oder lokale Projektrichtlinien erforderlich ist; oder den Namen oder Benutzernamen einer anderen Person in der Absicht zu verwenden, andere damit zu täuschen; 
::* Begehung von Betrug.
:'''Verletzung geistiger Eigentumsrechte'''
::* Verletzung von Urheberrechten, Markenrechten, Patenten oder anderen nach dem geltendem Recht bestehenden Schutzrechten.
:'''Missbrauch unserer Dienste zu anderen illegalen Zwecken'''

:'''Bezahlte Beiträge ohne Offenlegung'''

::* Du musst jeden einzelnen Arbeitgeber, Kunden, beabsichtigten Begünstigten und deine Zugehörigkeit in Bezug auf alle Beiträge, für die du eine Vergütung erhältst oder erwartest, offenlegen. Du musst diese Offenlegung auf mindestens eine der folgenden Arten vornehmen:
:::* eine Erklärung auf deiner Benutzerseite,
:::* eine Erklärung auf der Diskussionsseite, die bezahlte Beiträge begleitet, oder
:::* eine Erklärung in der Bearbeitungszusammenfassung, die bezahlte Beiträge begleitet.
::* Zusätzlich musst du, wenn du außerhalb der Projekte öffentlich Bearbeitungsdienste für Wikipedia im Austausch gegen jegliche Kompensation bewirbst, alle Wikipedia-Konten, die du für diesen Dienst genutzt hast oder nutzen wirst, in diesem öffentlichen Beitrag beim Drittanbieter offenlegen.
::* Durch anwendbares Recht oder projektspezifische Richtlinien und Richtlinien und Leitlinien der Stiftung wie jene, die Interessenkonflikte regeln, können bezahlte Beiträge weiter eingeschränkt werden oder ausführlichere Offenlegungen erforderlich sein. Beispielsweise stellen Verletzungen der Wikimedia-Marken (nachfolgend in Abschnitt 6 definiert) zum Bewerben von Diensten für bezahltes Schreiben, die Entfernung der Offenlegung zuvor angemessen offengelegter bezahlter Bearbeitungen oder unangemeldetes bezahltes Schreiben in einer Form, die eine angemessene Offenlegung praktisch unmöglich macht, eine Verletzung dieses Abschnitts dar.
::* Die Community eines Wikimedia-Projekts kann eine alternative Richtlinie zur Offenlegung bezahlter Beiträge verabschieden, die diesen Abschnitt ergänzen oder ersetzen kann. Wenn ein Projekt eine alternative Offenlegungsrichtlinie verabschiedet, kannst du statt der in diesem Abschnitt enthaltenen Anforderungen (unter dem Titel „Bezahlte Beiträge ohne Offenlegung“) jene Richtlinie befolgen, wenn du zu dem Projekt beiträgst.

:: Für weitere Informationen lies bitte unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|häufig gestellten Fragen zur Offenlegung bezahlter Beiträge]].


Die nicht offengelegte Bearbeitung durch Autoren, die eine Gegenleistung erhalten, setzt freiwillige Autoren, [[:de:Wikipedia:Interessenkonflikt|die Verstöße gegen Community-Richtlinien untersuchen und die Richtlinien durchsetzen]], unangemessenem Druck aus. Daher erklärst du dich im Falle von Verstößen gegen diesen Abschnitt im Zusammenhang mit nicht offengelegtem bezahlten Schreiben damit einverstanden, dich verbindlich dem „Med-Arb“ (einer „Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen“) zu unterwerfen, wie in Abschnitt 14 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen beschrieben.

Wir behalten uns vor, die Bestimmungen in Abschnitt 4 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen nach eigenem Ermessen durchzusetzen. Sofern erforderlich, kann die Durchsetzung dieser Bedingungen Aktionen beinhalten, die nicht in der [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Richtlinie zu Office Actions]] der Wikimedia-Stiftung aufgeführt sind. Wenn die Durchsetzung unter neuen Umständen erforderlich ist, werden wir uns bemühen, innerhalb von höchstens einem (1) Jahr die Richtlinie zu Office Actions zu aktualisieren, um die neue Art von Aktionen aufzunehmen.

== 6. Marken ==

Auch wenn dir hinsichtlich der Weiternutzung von Inhalten auf den Projekt-Websites beträchtliche Freiheiten gewährt werden, ist es wichtig, dass wir als Wikimedia Foundation unsere Markenrechte schützen, um dadurch unsere Benutzer vor Nachahmern zu schützen, die betrügerische Absichten verfolgen. Aus diesem Grund möchten wir dich bitten, unsere Markenrechte zu respektieren. Sämtliche Marken der Wikimedia Foundation sind Eigentum der Wikimedia Foundation und jegliche Nutzung unserer Handelsnamen, Marken, Dienstleistungsmarken, Logos oder Domain-Namen muss im Einklang mit diesen Nutzungsbedingungen sowie mit unserer [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Markenrichtlinie]] erfolgen.

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Lizenzierung von Inhalten ==

Um die Vergrößerung freien Wissens und freier Kultur als Gemeingüter zu befördern, müssen alle Benutzer, die zu den Projekten oder Projekt-Websites beitragen, der Allgemeinheit weitreichende Befugnisse zur Weiterverbreitung und Weiternutzung ihrer Beiträge einräumen, geknüpft daran, dass bei einer solchen Nutzung die Namensnennungsrechte gewahrt und bei der Weiternutzung und Weiterverbreitung abgeleiteter Werke wieder dieselben Freiheiten eingeräumt werden. Um an unserem Ziel festzuhalten, freie Informationen einem möglichst breiten Publikum zur Verfügung zu stellen, verlangen wir, dass alle übermittelten Inhalte, falls erforderlich, lizenziert werden, um sie für alle, die darauf zugreifen können, frei weiternutzbar zu machen.

Du stimmst folgenden Lizenzbedingungen zu:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Texte, an denen du das Urheberrecht [„copyright“] hältst:''' Wenn du einen Text übermittelst, an dem du das Urheberrecht [„copyright“] hältst, dann stimmst du zu, ihn unter der
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative-Commons-Lizenz Namensnennung – Weitergabe unter gleichen Bedingungen 4.0 International] („CC BY-SA 4.0“) sowie der
* [//www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.de.html GNU-Lizenz für freie Dokumentation] („GFDL“) (ohne Versionsangabe und ohne unveränderbare Teile, Titelseiten- oder Rückseitentexte)
zu lizenzieren.

Weiternutzer können sich nach einer der Lizenzen oder beiden richten.&lt;br /&gt;
Eine Ausnahme besteht allein, wenn die Projektversion oder die Funktion eine andere Lizenz fordert. In diesem Fall stimmst du zu, jeden von dir beigetragenen Text der bestimmten Lizenz zu unterstellen, die von der Projektversion oder der Funktion vorgeschrieben wird.

Bitte beachte, dass diese Lizenzen eine kommerzielle Nutzung deiner Beiträge erlauben, sofern bei der jeweiligen Nutzung die Bedingungen der entsprechenden Lizenzen eingehalten werden. Wenn du Sui-generis-Datenbankrechte besitzt, die durch CC BY-SA 4.0 abgedeckt sind, verzichtest du auf diese Rechte. Dies bedeutet beispielsweise, dass Fakten, die du zu den Projekten beiträgst, ohne Namensnennung frei weiterverwendet werden können.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Namensnennung:''' Die Namensnennung ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser Lizenzen. Wir betrachten dies als Anerkennung der Arbeit von Autoren wie dir selbst. Wenn du Texte beiträgst, stimmst du zu, in einer der folgenden Weisen genannt zu werden:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Durch einen Hyperlink auf den Artikel (sofern möglich) oder die Angabe der URL des Artikels, zu dem du beigetragen hast (da jeder Artikel über eine Versionsgeschichte verfügt, in der sämtliche Beitragende, Autoren und Bearbeiter aufgeführt sind);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Durch Hyperlink (sofern möglich) oder URL auf eine andere, stabile Online-Kopie, die frei zugänglich ist, die relevante Lizenz erfüllt und die Namensnennung der Autoren auf eine Weise gewährleistet, die gleichwertig zu der auf den Projekt-Websites ist; oder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Durch eine Liste aller Autoren (bitte beachte allerdings, dass jede Liste von Autoren gefiltert werden kann, um sie um sehr kleine oder irrelevante Beiträge zu bereinigen).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Import von Texten:''' Du kannst Texte importieren, die du anderswo gefunden hast oder die von dir in Miturheberschaft mit anderen geschaffen worden sind, wobei du in diesem Fall versicherst und garantierst, dass die Texte unter Bedingungen verfügbar sind, die mit CC BY-SA vereinbar sind (oder, wie oben ausgeführt, mit einer anderen Lizenz, sofern dies ausnahmsweise von der Projektversion oder der Funktion gefordert wird). Eine Liste kompatibler Lizenzen findet sich bei [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Du darfst keine Inhalte importieren, die ausschließlich unter GFDL verfügbar sind.&lt;br /&gt;

Falls du Texte unter einer CC-Lizenz importierst, die eine Namensnennung erfordern, musst du den Autor bzw. die Autoren auf angemessene Weise nennen. In Fällen, in denen die Namensnennung üblicherweise mittels der Versionsgeschichte erfolgt (wie beispielsweise bei der wikimediainternen Übernahme von Inhalten), genügt es, der Pflicht zur Namensnennung in der Bearbeitungszusammenfassung nachzukommen, die in der Versionsgeschichte gespeichert wird. Die Anforderungen an die Namensnennung sind (unabhängig von der jeweiligen Lizenz) unter bestimmten Bedingungen bisweilen zu restriktiv und es kann entsprechend Fälle geben, in denen die Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft zum Entschluss kommt, dass importierte Texte aus diesem Grund nicht genutzt werden können.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nicht textuelle Medien:''' Nicht textuelle Medien sind in den Projekten unter einer Vielzahl verschiedener Lizenzen verfügbar, die dem allgemeinen Ziel einer uneingeschränkten Weiternutzbarkeit und Weiterverbreitung förderlich sind. Wenn du nicht textuelle Medien beiträgst, stimmst du zu, dabei in Einklang mit den Bedingungen solcher Lizenzen zu handeln, wie sie in unserer [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Lizenzrichtlinie]] beschrieben sind, und darüber hinaus die Anforderungen der spezifischen Projektversion oder Funktion zu erfüllen, zu der du beiträgst. Siehe auch die [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Lizenzrichtlinie von Wikimedia Commons]] für weiterführende Informationen zum Beitragen nicht textueller Medien zu Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Kein Widerruf der Lizenz:''' Außer in dem Umfang, in dem deine gewählte Lizenz dies zulässt, stimmst du zu, dass du eine von dir unter diesen Nutzungsbedingungen gewährte Lizenz für Text oder nicht textuelle Inhalte, die du zu den Projekten oder Funktionen beigetragen hast, nicht einseitig widerrufen oder auf eine Außerkraftsetzung selbiger hinwirken wirst, auch dann nicht, wenn du die Nutzung unserer Dienste einstellst.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Gemeinfreie Inhalte:''' Gemeinfreie Inhalte sind willkommen. Es ist allerdings wichtig, dass du die Gemeinfreiheit der Inhalte sowohl nach dem Recht der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika als auch jenen Rechtsordnungen anderer Staaten überprüfst, deren Berücksichtigung die spezifische Projektversion fordert. Wenn du Inhalte beiträgst, die gemeinfrei sind, garantierst du, dass dieses Material tatsächlich gemeinfrei ist und stimmst zu, es auch entsprechend zu kennzeichnen.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Weiternutzung:''' Wir laden zur Weiternutzung der von uns bereitgehaltenen Inhalten ein, wenngleich es Ausnahmen für solche Inhalte gibt, die unter der „Fair Use“-Doktrin oder einer ähnlichen anwendbaren urheberrechtlichen Ausnahmeregelung beigetragen wurden. Jede Weiternutzungshandlung muss den Bestimmungen der zugrunde liegenden Lizenz(en) genügen.&lt;br /&gt;

Wenn du eine von der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft entwickelte Textseite weiternutzt oder weiterverbreitest, stimmst du zu, die Autoren in einer der folgenden Weisen zu nennen:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;durch einen Hyperlink auf die Seite(n) (sofern möglich) oder die Angabe der URL der Seite(n), die du weiternutzt (da jede Seite über eine Versionsgeschichte verfügt, in der sämtliche Beitragende, Autoren und Bearbeiter aufgeführt sind);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;durch Hyperlink (sofern möglich) oder URL auf eine andere, stabile Online-Kopie, die frei zugänglich ist, die Lizenz erfüllt und die Namensnennung der Autoren auf eine Weise gewährleistet, die gleichwertig zu der auf den Projekt-Websites ist; oder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;durch eine Liste aller Autoren (bitte beachte allerdings, dass jede Liste von Autoren gefiltert werden kann, um sie um sehr kleine oder irrelevante Beiträge zu bereinigen).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Falls der Textinhalt aus einer anderen Quelle importiert wurde, besteht die Möglichkeit, dass der Inhalt unter einer kompatiblen CC-BY-SA-Lizenz, nicht jedoch unter GFDL, lizenziert ist (wie weiter oben unter „Import von Texten“ beschrieben). In diesem Fall stimmst du zu, die Lizenzbedingungen der kompatiblen CC-BY-SA-Lizenz einzuhalten und erkennst an, dass du nicht die Möglichkeit hast, den Inhalt unter der GFDL weiter zu lizenzieren. Um festzustellen, welcher Lizenz die Inhalte, die du weiternutzen oder weiterverbreiten möchtest, unterstellt sind, solltest du die Fußleiste der Seite, die Versionsgeschichte sowie die Diskussionsseite auf diese Angaben hin überprüfen.

Weiterhin bitten wir dich zu beachten, dass Textinhalte, die von einer externen Quelle stammen und in ein Projekt importiert wurden, gegebenenfalls unter einer Lizenz stehen können, die zusätzliche Erfordernisse an die Namensnennung stellt. Benutzer stimmen zu, deutlich auf solcherlei zusätzliche Anforderungen an die Namensnennung hinzuweisen. Je nach Projekt können derartige Hinweise beispielsweise mittels eines Banners oder mit einer anderen Darstellungsmethode geleistet werden, die anzeigt, dass einige oder sämtliche Inhalte ursprünglich an einem anderen Ort veröffentlicht wurden. Wo es solche sichtbaren Hinweise gibt, sollten Weiternutzer sie beibehalten.

Hinsichtlich sämtlicher nicht textueller Medien stimmst du zu, die anwendbare Lizenz zu befolgen, unter der das Werk verfügbar gemacht wurde (diese kann eingesehen werden, indem man auf das Werk klickt und auf der resultierenden Beschreibungsseite den Abschnitt zur Lizenzierung konsultiert oder indem man auf eine geeignete Quellseite des Werkes zurückgreift). Wenn du von uns bereitgehaltene Inhalte weiternutzt, stimmst du zu, den einschlägigen Anforderungen an die Namensnennung Folge zu leisten, soweit diese in der zugrunde liegenden Lizenz oder den zugrunde liegenden Lizenzen vorgesehen sind.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Bearbeitungen oder Ergänzungen von weitergenutztem Material:''' Wenn du Änderungen oder Ergänzungen an einem Text vornimmst, den du von einer Projekt-Website bezogen hast, stimmst du zu, den bearbeiteten oder hinzugefügten Inhalt unter CC BY-SA 4.0 oder einer späteren Lizenzversion (oder, wie oben ausgeführt, unter einer anderen Lizenz, sofern dies ausnahmsweise von der spezifischen Projektversion oder Funktion gefordert wird) zu lizenzieren.&lt;br /&gt;

Wenn du Änderungen oder Ergänzungen an einem nicht textuellen Inhalt vornimmst, den du von einer Projekt-Website bezogen hast, stimmst du zu, den bearbeiteten oder hinzugefügten Inhalt im Einklang mit einer Lizenz zu lizenzieren, unter der das Werk verfügbar gemacht worden ist.&lt;br /&gt;

Hinsichtlich sowohl textueller als auch nicht textueller Inhalte stimmst du zu, deutlich anzugeben, dass das ursprüngliche Werk verändert worden ist. Falls du Textinhalte in einem Wiki weiternutzt, ist es ausreichend, in der Versionsgeschichte der Seite anzugeben, dass du eine Änderung am importierten Text vorgenommen hast. Bezüglich jeder Kopie oder veränderten Version, die du verbreitest, stimmst du zu, einen Lizenzhinweis beizufügen, aus dem hervorgeht, welcher Lizenz das Werk unterstellt ist, und der darüber hinaus entweder einen Hyperlink oder eine URL beinhaltet, der bzw. die auf den Lizenztext oder eine Kopie der Lizenz selbst verweist.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Die Wikimedia Foundation will sicherstellen, dass die von uns bereitgehaltenen Inhalte von anderen Nutzern weitergenutzt werden können, ohne dass diese dabei haftungsrechtliche Folgen oder eine Verletzung fremder Eigentumsrechte befürchten müssen. Aus Fairness gegenüber unseren Benutzern sowie anderen Urhebern und Urheberrechtsinhabern [„copyright holders“] sieht unser Verfahren vor, auf Benachrichtigungen über mutmaßliche Rechtsverletzungen zu reagieren, die den formalen Anforderungen des [[:de:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|Digital Millennium Copyright Act]] (DMCA) genügen. Gemäß dem DMCA werden wir unter gegebenen Umständen Nutzer und Inhaber von Benutzerkonten von unserem System und Netzwerk verbannen, die wiederholt Rechtsverstöße in unseren Projekten und Diensten begangen haben.

Allerdings erkennen wir auch an, dass nicht jede Takedown-Notice gültig ist oder in guter Absicht erfolgt. In solchen Fällen ermutigen wir unsere Benutzer nachdrücklich, eine Gegenerklärung [„counter-notification“] einzureichen, falls sie in nachvollziehbarer Weise der Meinung sind, dass eine DMCA-Takedown-Forderung ungültig oder unberechtigt ist. Weitere Informationen darüber, was du tun kannst, wenn du der Meinung bist, dass eine DMCA-Notice zu Unrecht erfolgt ist, findest du auf der Website [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Wenn du der Rechteinhaber von Inhalten bist, die unberechtigterweise und ohne deine Erlaubnis auf einer der Projekt-Websites genutzt werden, kannst du durch eine Mitteilung gemäß dem DMCA verlangen, dass diese Inhalte entfernt werden. Um eine entsprechende Aufforderung an uns zu richten, sende uns bitte eine E-Mail an {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} oder [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|wende dich per Post an unseren zuständigen Vertreter (Designated Agent)]].

Alternativ kannst du dich auch mit einer Anfrage an die Benutzergemeinschaft wenden; dadurch können urheberrechtliche Probleme oftmals schneller und effektiver beseitigt werden, als dies nach dem Prozess gemäß DMCA-Verfahren der Fall ist. Hierzu kannst du einen Hinweis hinterlassen, in dem du auf deine urheberrechtlichen Bedenken aufmerksam machst. Eine unvollständige und unverbindliche Liste der entsprechenden Verfahrensweisen in den einzelnen Projektversionen [[:m:Copyright problems|findest du auf der Seite zu Urheberrechtsproblemen]]. Bevor du einen DMCA-Anspruch anmeldest, kannst du die Gemeinschaft auch über die E-Mail-Adresse {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} kontaktieren.

== 9. Internetangebote und Ressourcen Dritter ==

Du allein bist für deine Nutzung von Internetangeboten und Ressourcen Dritter verantwortlich. Auch wenn die Projekte und Projekt-Websites Links auf Internetangebote oder Ressourcen Dritter enthalten, heißen wir diese nicht gut und sind weder verantwortlich oder haftbar für deren Verfügbarkeit, Genauigkeit oder für damit verbundene Inhalte, Produkte oder Dienste (darunter, ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, eventuell vorhandene Viren oder andere unerwünschte Funktionen), noch sind wir in irgendeiner Weise dazu verpflichtet, solche Inhalte Dritter zu überwachen.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Verwaltung von Internetangeboten ==

Der Gemeinschaft kommt die wichtigste Rolle zu, wenn es darum geht, Regeln für die verschiedenen Projektversionen auszuarbeiten und durchzusetzen. Wir von der Wikimedia Foundation greifen selten in Entscheidungen der Gemeinschaft über Regeln und ihre Durchsetzung ein.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Es ist möglich, uns über illegale Inhalte oder Inhalte, die aus anderen Gründen gegen unsere Nutzungsbedingungen (einschließlich aller Richtlinien und anderer Dokumente, die durch Verweis aufgenommen wurden) verstoßen, zu informieren, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|indem man uns direkt kontaktiert]]. Du kannst eine Anfrage in der Regel jedoch direkt an die Community des Projekts richten: Dies kann effizienter sein und steht besser mit dem Ziel unserer Projekte im Einklang, die Community der Benutzer zu stärken.
&lt;/div&gt;


Jedes Projekt verfügt in der Regel über „Hilfe“- oder „Kontakt“-Seiten für weitere Anleitungen oder über spezifische Tools zur Meldung von Problemen. Alternativ kannst du – im Zweifelsfall – Mitglieder der Community um Hilfe bitten, indem du eine E-Mail an {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} oder eine sprachspezifische Adresse von der [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Seite des Support-Teams]] sendest. Bitte beachte, dass diese Postfächer von Benutzern der Projekte und nicht von der Foundation überwacht werden. Aufgrund dessen sollten über diese Adressen keine rechtlichen Schritte angedroht oder rechtlichen Forderungen gestellt werden.

Wenn du dich mit einem Problem an die Foundation wendest, werden wir in der Regel prüfen, ob und wie bestehende von der Community geleitete Mechanismen diese Probleme untersuchen und gegebenenfalls lösen können.

In außergewöhnlichen Fällen kann es notwendig werden oder einer Bitte der Gemeinschaft entsprechen, dass wir uns mit einem problematischen Benutzer oder besonders problematischen Inhalten beschäftigen, von denen erhebliche Projektstörungen ausgehen oder die durch gefährliches Verhalten auffallen. In solchen Fällen behalten wir uns das Recht vor, nach unserem eigenen Ermessen (oder wenn dies rechtlich erforderlich ist):

* zu untersuchen, wie du die Projekte oder unsere Dienste nutzt, (a) um festzustellen, ob eine Verletzung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen, der Richtlinien der Projektversion oder anderer anwendbarer Gesetze oder Richtlinien erfolgt ist, oder (b) um einem anwendbaren Gesetz, einem Gerichtsverfahren oder einer angemessenen Anfrage einer Regierung nachzukommen;
* betrügerische, falsche oder nicht verifizierbare Informationen oder sicherheitsrelevante oder technische Problemlagen ausfindig zu machen, abzuwehren, ihnen anderweitig zu begegnen oder entsprechende Benutzeranfragen zu beantworten;
* den Zugriff auf Beiträge eines Nutzers, der diese Nutzungsbedingungen verletzt, zu verweigern, zurückzusetzen, unverfügbar zu machen oder einzuschränken;
* einem Benutzer die Berechtigung zu entziehen, Bearbeitungen oder Beiträge zu tätigen, oder ein Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrecht eines Benutzers aufgrund von Handlungen zu sperren, durch die diese Nutzungsbedingungen verletzt werden, darunter wiederholte Veröffentlichung von rechtswidrigem Material nach anwendbarem Recht im Einklang mit den Menschenrechtsgrundsätzen;
* juristisch gegen Nutzer vorzugehen, die diese Nutzungsbedingungen verletzen (einschließlich einer Meldung an Strafverfolgungsbehörden); und
* die Projekt-Websites auf eine andere Weise zu verwalten, die geeignet ist, ihr einwandfreies Funktionieren zu begünstigen und die Rechte, das Eigentum sowie die Sicherheit der Foundation und unserer Benutzer, Lizenznehmer, Partner sowie der Öffentlichkeit zu schützen.

Diese Moderationsaktivitäten der Foundation können sich auf Software stützen oder von Software ausgeführt werden (z. B. Schutz vor Flooding [„Denial of Service“]). In diesen Fällen ist [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|auf Anfrage]] normalerweise eine menschliche Prüfung möglich.

Für den außerordentlichen Fall, dass jemandes Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrechte aufgrund dieses Abschnitts gesperrt worden sind, ist es dieser Person ohne unsere ausdrückliche Genehmigung im Interesse unserer Nutzerschaft sowie der Projekte untersagt, im selben Projekt ein anderes Benutzerkonto zu erstellen, zu verwenden oder zu versuchen, sich Zugang zu demselben Projekt zu verschaffen. Ohne die Entscheidungskompetenz der Gemeinschaft einzuschränken, wird die Foundation keinem Benutzer nur deshalb die Berechtigung entziehen, Bearbeitung oder Beiträge zu tätigen, oder ein Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrecht eines Benutzers sperren, weil dieser in guter Absicht Kritik äußert, die nicht in Handlungen resultiert, die ansonsten eine Verletzung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen oder von Richtlinien der Gemeinschaft darstellen würden.

Die Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft und ihre Mitglieder können ebenfalls Maßnahmen ergreifen, die von den auf die spezifische Projektversion anwendbaren Richtlinien der Gemeinschaft oder der Foundation vorgesehen sind, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf, die Verwarnung, Untersuchung, Sperrung oder den Ausschluss von Benutzern, die diese Regeln verletzen. Du willigst ein, den endgültigen Entscheidungen von Einrichtungen, die der Streitbeilegung dienen und von der Gemeinschaft für spezifische Projektversionen eingerichtet worden sind (beispielsweise Schiedsgerichten), Folge zu leisten; diese Entscheidungen können unter anderem in Sanktionen bestehen, deren Umfang sich nach den in der jeweiligen Projektversion geltenden Regeln richtet.

Besonders problematische Nutzer, deren Benutzerkonten oder Zugriffsrechte in verschiedenen Projektversionen gesperrt worden sind, können im Einklang mit der [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Richtlinie für globale Ausschlüsse]] von allen Projektversionen ausgeschlossen werden. Anders als Beschlüsse des Boards oder Bestimmungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen können Richtlinien, die von der Gemeinschaft erstellt worden sind und die sich auf eine einzelne Projektversion oder auch auf mehrere Projektversionen (wie bei der Richtlinie für globale Ausschlüsse) beziehen, durch die jeweils relevante Gemeinschaft nach eigener Maßgabe geändert werden.

Die Sperrung eines Benutzerkontos oder Zugriffsrechts oder der Ausschluss eines Nutzers unter dieser Bestimmung soll in Übereinstimmung mit Abschnitt 13 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen erfolgen.

Wenn du der Meinung bist, dass wir nicht zufriedenstellend auf eine Meldung von problematischen Inhalten reagiert haben, oder wenn du Gegenstand einer Moderationsmaßnahme der Foundation warst, die du anfechten möchtest, kannst du [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|Einspruch einlegen]]. Weitere Informationen über Beschwerdewege erhältst du möglicherweise zu gegebener Zeit oder auf projektspezifischen Hilfeseiten.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Wir behalten uns das Recht vor, unsere Bearbeitung von Meldungen oder anderer Korrespondenz von Benutzern oder Dritten, ob bezüglich mutmaßlich illegaler oder anderweitig problematischer Inhalte oder Verhaltensweisen oder bezüglich Einsprüchen gegen Moderationsmaßnahmen (vorübergehend oder dauerhaft), einzustellen, wenn solche Korrespondenz in böser Absicht, wiederholt, unbegründet und/oder missbräuchlich erfolgt ist. Unter angemessenen Umständen kann deine E-Mail-Adresse sogar in unseren E-Mail-Systemen gesperrt werden, sodass du uns [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|über unsere Postanschrift kontaktieren]] musst, wenn du während dieser Sperrzeit weiter mit uns korrespondieren möchtest. Bei weniger schwerwiegenden Fällen (z. B. bis zu drei höflichen E-Mails über eine oder mehrere unbegründete Beschwerden) ist dies wahrscheinlich eine temporäre Maßnahme. Häufigere oder missbräuchlichere Korrespondenz führt mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit zu dauerhaften Maßnahmen.

Wir stellen eine Reihe von APIs zur Verfügung, die Dokumentation und zugehörige Tools umfassen, um Benutzern die Erstellung von Produkten zu ermöglichen, die freies Wissen fördern. Durch die Nutzung unserer APIs erklärst du dich damit einverstanden, alle anwendbaren Richtlinien einzuhalten, die die Nutzung der APIs regeln, darunter die [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent-Richtlinie]], die [[wikitech:Robot policy|Roboter-Richtlinie]] und die [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etikette]] (zusammen „API-Dokumentation“), die durch Verweis in diese Nutzungsbedingungen einbezogen werden.

== 13. Beendigung ==

Auch wenn wir hoffen, dass du auf den Projekten verbleibst und weiterhin zu ihnen beiträgst, kannst du jederzeit aufhören, unsere Dienste zu nutzen. Unter bestimmten (hoffentlich unwahrscheinlichen) Umständen kann es entweder für uns selbst, für die Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft oder ihre Mitglieder (wie in Abschnitt 10 beschrieben) erforderlich sein, unsere Dienste teilweise oder vollständig einzustellen, diese Nutzungsbedingungen aufzuheben, dein Benutzerkonto oder deine Zugriffsrechte zu sperren oder dich als Benutzer auszuschließen. Wenn dein Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrecht gesperrt oder in anderer Weise eingestellt wird, bleiben deine Beiträge und eine Aufzeichnung deiner Aktivitäten an oder im Zusammenhang mit den Projekten (einschließlich jeglicher Korrespondenz, die du uns gesendet hast) davon unberührt (vorbehaltlich anwendbarer Richtlinien) und du kannst auf unsere öffentlichen Seiten zugreifen, sofern sich dieser Zugriff auf das Lesen öffentlich verfügbarer Inhalte beschränkt. Es kann unter diesen Umständen allerdings vorkommen, dass du nicht auf dein Benutzerkonto oder deine Einstellungen zugreifen kannst. Unabhängig von anderen Bestimmungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen behalten wir uns jedoch das Recht vor, unsere Dienste jederzeit auszusetzen oder einzustellen, mit oder ohne Grund und mit oder ohne Ankündigung. Auch nachdem deine Nutzung und Teilnahme durch Ausschluss, Sperrung oder eine andere Maßnahme ausgesetzt wird, bleiben diese Nutzungsbedingungen hinsichtlich der relevanten Bestimmungen in Kraft, einschließlich der Abschnitte 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9–16 und 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Zur Verdeutlichung hervorgehoben''

Wir hoffen, dass es zu keinen ernsthaften Meinungsverschiedenheiten mit dir kommt, ermuntern dich jedoch für den Fall einer Streitigkeit zwischen dir und uns dazu, eine Lösung durch Streitschlichtungsverfahren und -mechanismen, die von den Projekten und der Wikimedia Foundation bereitgestellt werden, anzustreben. Sofern du eine Klage gegen uns anstrebst, so stimmst du zu, diese ausschließlich vor einem Staats- oder Bundesgericht im San Francisco County, Kalifornien, zu stellen und zu verhandeln. Du stimmst des Weiteren zu, dass für diese Nutzungsbedingungen sowie jedweden Rechtsanspruch, der zwischen dir und uns erwachsen könnte, die Gesetze des Staates Kalifornien und, sofern anwendbar, die Gesetze der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika gelten (abgesehen von Prinzipien des internationalen Privatrechts). Du stimmst zu, dich für alle gerichtlichen Schritte oder Verhandlungen, die uns oder diese Nutzungsbedingungen betreffen, der persönlichen Gerichtsbarkeit der Gerichte, die im San Francisco County, Kalifornien, liegen, zu unterwerfen und stimmst überdies zu, dass dort der richtige Ort ist.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Um sicherzustellen, dass Streitigkeiten schnellstmöglich nach ihrem Aufkommen beigelegt werden, stimmst du unbeschadet jeglicher anderslautender Bestimmungen oder Gesetze zu, dass sämtliche Ansprüche oder Klagegründe, die dir aus der Nutzung von oder im Zusammenhang mit unseren Diensten oder diesen Nutzungsbedingungen entstehen könnten, innerhalb der geltenden Verjährungsfrist oder, falls dies früher eintritt, ein (1) Jahr, nachdem die dem Anspruch oder dem Klagegrund zugrunde liegenden Fakten mit angemessener Sorgfalt hätten entdeckt werden können, geltend gemacht werden müssen (andernfalls verjähren sie endgültig).

Wie in Abschnitt 4 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen beschrieben, erklärst du dich damit einverstanden, Verstöße gegen die Bestimmungen zu bezahltem Schreiben ohne Offenlegung im Rahmen einer Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen nach dem Ermessen der Foundation zu klären. Schlichtungen für Marketingunternehmen sind '''verbindliche''' Schlichtungen, bei denen am Ende einer halb- oder ganztägigen Sitzung strittige Punkte, die noch nicht gelöst wurden, vom Schlichter in einer rechtsverbindlichen Entscheidung entschieden werden. Sie werden in Meetings per Telefon- oder Videokonferenz durchgeführt. Wenn ein persönliches Treffen erforderlich ist, findet die Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen in San Francisco, Kalifornien, statt. Die Parteien bezahlen alle Gebühren und Ausgaben im Zusammenhang mit der Schlichtung zu gleichen Teilen.

Du erklärst dich damit einverstanden, im Rahmen einer Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen mit der Foundation zu kooperieren, indem du alle in deinem Besitz befindlichen Unterlagen über deine nicht offengelegten Aktivitäten im Rahmen des bezahlten Schreibens, einschließlich der verwendeten Konten, der betroffenen Artikel und der Kunden, die solche Dienstleistungen erworben haben, rechtzeitig zur Verfügung stellst.

Schlichtungen für Marketingunternehmen unterliegen dem Bundesschiedsgerichtsgesetz (Federal Arbitration Act), soweit der Schlichter zum Schiedsrichter wird. Die obsiegende Partei ist berechtigt, ihre Anwaltsgebühren (einschließlich aller Gebühren, die zur Bestimmung der Anwendbarkeit der Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen und zur Durchsetzung des verbindlichen Ergebnisses erforderlich sind) sowie alle Kosten im Zusammenhang mit der Untersuchung und der Durchsetzung ihrer Rechte zurückzufordern. Eine Partei kann auch dann als „obsiegende“ Partei gelten, wenn sie nicht bei jedem geltend gemachten Anspruch erfolgreich ist.

Wenn sich diese Anforderungen zur Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen aus irgendeinem Grund als nicht durchsetzbar erweisen, stimmst du zu, sämtliche Streitigkeiten wie am Anfang dieses Abschnitts beschrieben beizulegen.

Wir geben keine Garantie, dass unsere Dienste deinen Bedürfnissen entsprechen, sicher sind, ohne Unterbrechung, zeitnah, genau oder fehlerfrei zur Verfügung stehen oder dass deine Informationen sicher sind.

Wir sind nicht verantwortlich für Inhalte, Daten oder Handlungen von Dritten und du stellst uns, unsere geschäftsführenden Direktoren, leitenden Angestellten, Mitarbeiter und Beauftragten von jeglichen – bekannten oder unbekannten – Ansprüchen und Schäden frei, die in irgendeiner Weise aus einem Anspruch, den du gegenüber einem Dritten hast, resultieren oder mit einem solchen in Zusammenhang stehen. Ratschläge oder Informationen, ungeachtet ob mündlich oder schriftlich, die du von uns oder über oder durch unsere Dienste erhalten hast, begründen in keinem Fall einen Gewährleistungsanspruch, der nicht ausdrücklich in diesen Nutzungsbedingungen festgehalten ist.

Das Herunterladen und der anderweitige Erhalt von Inhalten im Rahmen der Benutzung unserer Dienste erfolgt auf dein eigenes Risiko und du haftest alleine für jegliche Schäden an deinem Computersystem oder für Datenverluste, die aus dem Herunterladen solcher Materialien resultieren. Du bist einverstanden, dass wir keinerlei Verantwortung oder Haftung für die Löschung oder das fehlerhafte Speichern oder Übermitteln jedweder Inhalte oder Kommunikation, die von unseren Diensten unterhalten werden, tragen. Wir behalten uns das Recht vor, die Nutzung und Speicherung jederzeit nach unserem eigenen Ermessen einzuschränken, mit oder ohne vorherige Ankündigung.

Einige Staaten oder Gerichtsbarkeiten lassen die in diesem Abschnitt verwendeten Arten von Haftungsausschlussklauseln nicht zu, weshalb die Möglichkeit besteht, dass sie für dich je nach gesetzlicher Regelung teilweise oder in Gänze nicht gelten.&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. Beschränkung der Haftung&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Die Wikimedia Foundation haftet dir oder einer anderen Partei gegenüber nicht für etwaige direkte, indirekte, zufällige, besondere, Folge- oder exemplarische Schäden, darunter entgangenen Gewinn, Verlust von Geschäftswert oder Nutzung, Datenverlust oder andere immaterielle Schäden, unabhängig davon, ob wir auf die Möglichkeit solcher Schäden hingewiesen wurden. In keinem Fall wird unsere Haftung insgesamt eintausend US-Dollar (USD 1000,00) übersteigen. Für den Fall, dass anzuwendende Gesetze die Beschränkung oder den Ausschluss von Haftungen oder Zufalls- oder Folgeschäden nicht erlauben, kann die obige Haftungsbeschränkung oder der obige Haftungsausschluss gegebenenfalls nicht auf dich anwendbar sein, wenngleich unsere Haftung im größtmöglichen von den geltenden Gesetzen zugelassenen Maße beschränkt ist.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Änderungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen ==

Ebenso wie die Beteiligung der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft notwendig für das Wachstum und die Pflege der Projekte ist, glauben wir, dass eine Beteiligung der Gemeinschaft notwendig ist, damit diese Nutzungsbedingungen unseren Benutzern angemessen nützen. Die Beteiligung ist auch notwendig für einen gerechten Vertrag. Daher werden wir dafür sorgen, dass diese Nutzungsbedingungen, ebenso wie jegliche wesentliche zukünftige Revisionen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen, der Gemeinschaft mindestens 30 Tage vor Ablauf der Kommentierungsphase vorgelegt werden. Bei zukünftigen, umfangreichen Revisionen werden wir zusätzlich 30 Tage für Kommentare vorsehen, nachdem eine Übersetzungen in mindestens drei (von uns ausgewählten) Sprachen bereitgestellt wurde. Die Gemeinschaft wird ermuntert, die vorgeschlagene Revision in andere Sprachen zu übersetzen. Bei Änderungen aus rechtlichen oder administrativen Gründen oder solchen, die dazu dienen, eine fehlerhafte Aussage zu berichtigen oder die in Reaktion auf Kommentare der Gemeinschaft erfolgen, werden wir die Änderung mindestens drei (3) Tage im Voraus ankündigen.

Weil es unter Umständen notwendig wird, diese Nutzungsbedingungen von Zeit zu Zeit zu verändern, werden wir versuchen, dich über die Projekt-Websites und eine Ankündigung auf [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]] auf derartige Veränderungen hinzuweisen und dir die Gelegenheit für Kommentare zu bieten. Dennoch bitten wir dich, regelmäßig die aktuellste Version dieser Nutzungsbedingungen einzusehen. Die fortgesetzte Nutzung unserer Dienste nach Inkrafttreten der neuen Nutzungsbedingungen – also nach Ablauf der Ankündigungs- und Überarbeitungsphase – stellt eine Zustimmung deinerseits zu diesen Nutzungsbedingungen dar. Zum Schutz der Wikimedia Foundation und anderer Benutzer wie dir selbst darfst du unsere Dienste nicht in Anspruch nehmen, wenn du unseren Nutzungsbedingungen nicht zustimmst.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Andere Bedingungen ==

Diese Nutzungsbedingungen begründen in keinem Fall ein Beschäftigungs-, Agentur- oder Partnerschaftsverhältnis oder eine Joint-Control- oder Joint-Venture-Beziehung zwischen dir und uns, der Wikimedia Foundation. Im Sinne des Rechts des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums, des Rechts des Vereinigten Königreichs oder anderer Gesetze, die ein ähnliches Konzept beinhalten, handelst du nicht „unter der Autorität“ der Foundation, wenn du die Dienste nutzt. Sofern du keine separate Vereinbarung mit uns geschlossen hast, stellen diese Nutzungsbedingungen die vollständige Vereinbarung zwischen dir und uns dar. Bei Widersprüchen zwischen diesen Nutzungsbedingungen und einer unterzeichneten schriftlichen Vereinbarung zwischen dir und uns hat die unterzeichnete Vereinbarung Vorrang.

Du willigst ein, dass wir dir möglicherweise Mitteilungen via E-Mail, Briefpost oder Nachrichten in den Projekten oder auf Projekt-Websites zukommen lassen, einschließlich Hinweisen auf Änderungen der Nutzungsbedingungen.

Sollten wir unter Umständen irgendeine Bestimmung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen nicht anwenden oder durchsetzen, so stellt dies keine Einwilligung in den Verzicht auf diese Bestimmung dar.

Du bist dir bewusst, dass du, sofern dir von uns nichts anderes auf schriftlichem Wege zugesichert wurde, keinerlei Entschädigung für jedwede Aktivität, jedweden Beitrag oder jedwede Idee, die du uns, der Gemeinschaft, den Projekten oder den Projektversionen zur Verfügung stellst, erwarten kannst.

Unbeschadet anderslautender Bestimmungen in diesen Nutzungsbedingungen verpflichten wir (die Wikimedia Foundation) und du uns, die anwendbaren Begriffe und Anforderungen irgendeiner der in den Projekten oder Projektversionen verwendeten freien Lizenzen nicht zu ändern, solange die jeweilige Lizenz nach diesen Nutzungsbedingungen gestattet ist.

Diese Nutzungsbedingungen wurden in englischer Sprache verfasst (amerikanisches Englisch). Auch wenn wir hoffen, dass die Übersetzungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen korrekt sind, hat die englischsprachige Originalversion Vorrang, sofern es Bedeutungsunterschiede zwischen der originalen englischen Version und einer Übersetzung geben sollte.

Falls eine Bestimmung oder ein Teil einer Bestimmung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen für ungesetzlich, nichtig oder nicht anwendbar befunden wird, wird diese Bestimmung oder der Teil der Bestimmung getrennt von diesen Nutzungsbedingungen angesehen und im maximal möglichen Umfang durchgesetzt, wobei alle übrigen Bestimmungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen weiterhin vollständig in Kraft bleiben.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Danke! ==

Wir bedanken uns, dass du dir Zeit für die Lektüre dieser Nutzungsbedingungen genommen hast und freuen uns sehr darüber, dass du zu den Projekten beiträgst und unsere Dienste nutzt. Durch deine Beiträge hilfst du dabei, etwas wirklich Großes aufzubauen – nicht nur eine bedeutende Sammlung von gemeinschaftlich erstellten Nachschlagewerken, die Bildungsinhalte und Informationen für Millionen von Menschen bereithält, denen dieser Zugang andernfalls mitunter verwehrt bliebe, sondern auch eine lebendige Gemeinschaft aus gleichgesinnten und engagierten Teilnehmern, die sich allesamt einem sehr edlen Ziel verschrieben haben.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Nuestros Términos de uso&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Imagine un mundo en el que cada persona pueda compartir libremente la suma de todo el conocimiento. Ese es nuestro compromiso.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Nuestra declaración de visión]]

¡Bienvenido a Wikimedia! La Fundación Wikimedia, Inc. (en adelante, &quot;nosotros&quot; o &quot;la Fundación&quot;) es una organización sin ánimo de lucro con sede en San Francisco (California, Estados Unidos) cuya [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|misión]] es la de potenciar e involucrar a las personas alrededor del mundo para recopilar y desarrollar contenido disponible bajo una [[w:es:Contenido libre|licencia libre]] o en el  dominio público y difundirlo efectiva y globalmente de manera gratuita.

Para apoyar a nuestra vibrante comunidad, proporcionamos la infraestructura técnica y organizativa esencial para el desarrollo de proyectos Wiki multilingües y sus ediciones (como se explica en la [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|página de proyectos de Wikimedia]]; en lo sucesivo denominados &quot;Proyectos&quot;) y otros esfuerzos que sirvan a nuestra misión. Nos esforzamos por hacer y mantener disponible en Internet el contenido educativo e informativo de nuestros Proyectos sin costo, a perpetuidad.

Le damos la bienvenida a usted (en adelante, &quot;usted&quot; o &quot;el usuario&quot;) como lector o colaborador de los Proyectos y le animamos a unirse a la comunidad de Wikimedia. Antes de que participe, sin embargo, le pedimos que lea atentamente y acepte los siguientes Términos de uso (en adelante, &quot;Términos de uso&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Estos términos de uso te informan sobre los servicios públicos de la Fundación Wikimedia, nuestra relación contigo como usuario, y sobre los derechos y responsabilidades que nos guían a ambos. Alojamos una increíble cantidad de contenidos educativos e informativos, todos ellos aportados y hechos posibles por usuarios como tú. Por lo general, no aportamos, supervisamos, ni suprimimos contenidos (salvo raras excepciones, por ejemplo, siguiendo políticas como las de estos Términos de uso, por motivos de cumplimiento legal o cuando nos enfrentamos a graves amenazas con carácter de urgencia). Esto significa que el control editorial está en tus manos y en las de los demás usuarios que crean y gestionan los contenidos.

La comunidad — la red de usuarios que construyen y utilizan constantemente los proyectos y/o sus sitios web (de ahora en adelante referidos como “sitios web de los proyectos”) — es el principal medio para lograr los objetivos de la misión. La comunidad contribuye y ayuda a gestionar nuestros proyectos y sitios web de los proyectos. La comunidad también asume la función vital de crear y hacer cumplir las políticas de las ediciones de los proyectos específicos (como las ediciones en diferentes idiomas del proyecto Wikipedia o la edición multilingüe de Wikimedia Commons).

Como usuario, eres bienvenido a unirte como colaborador, editor o autor, pero debes seguir las políticas que aplican en cada una de las ediciones independientes de los proyectos, incluyendo el [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Código Universal de Conducta]] (CUC), que rige para todas estas ediciones. El mayor de nuestros proyectos es Wikipedia, pero también albergamos otros, cada uno con objetivos y métodos de trabajo distintos. Cada edición de un proyecto tiene un equipo de colaboradores, editores o autores que trabajan juntos para crear y gestionar el contenido de esa edición. Te animamos a unirte a estos equipos y trabajar con ellos para mejorar estos proyectos. Dado que nuestro objetivo es que los contenidos sean de libre acceso para el público, los contenidos que aportes estarán disponibles bajo una licencia libre o serán de dominio público.

Por favor, tenga presente que es legalmente responsable de todas sus contribuciones, ediciones y reutilización del contenido de Wikimedia bajo las leyes de los Estados Unidos de América y de otras leyes aplicables (que podrían incluir las leyes del lugar donde se encuentre usted o donde sus contribuciones sean localizadas). Esto significa que es importante que tenga cuidado al publicar, modificar o reutilizar contenidos. En vista de esta responsabilidad, contamos con algunas reglas sobre lo que no puede hacer, la mayoría de las cuales son para protección suya o de otros usuarios como usted. Por favor, no olvide que los contenidos que alojamos son únicamente para propósitos de información general, por lo que si necesita asesoramiento de un experto para una cuestión en particular (como temas médicos, legales o financieros), debes buscar el asesoramiento de un profesional cualificado. También incluimos otros avisos y exenciones de responsabilidad relevantes, por lo que le recomendamos que lea estos términos de uso por completo.

Para mayor claridad, otras organizaciones, como los [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|capítulos locales de Wikimedia]] y asociaciones, que pueden compartir la misma misión son, sin embargo, legalmente independientes y separadas de la Fundación Wikimedia. A menos que la Fundación indique lo contrario como parte autorizada en el sitio web de un proyecto determinado, esas otras organizaciones no tienen responsabilidad alguna sobre el funcionamiento del sitio web del proyecto ni sobre su contenido.

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Nuestros servicios ==

La Fundación Wikimedia está dedicada a promover el aumento, el desarrollo y la difusión de contenidos multilingües de libre acceso y a alojar el contenido completo de estos proyectos basados en la wiki para el público libre de cargos. Nuestro rol es alojar algunos de los proyectos de edición colaborativa más grandes del mundo, [//www.wikimedia.org los cuales pueden encontrarse aquí]. No obstante, actuamos únicamente como proveedor de servicios de alojamiento web, manteniendo la infraestructura y el marco organizativo. Esta infraestructura y marco permiten a nuestros usuarios construir los proyectos al aportar y editar ellos mismos el contenido. También posibilitan que nuestros usuarios reutilicen esos contenidos. La infraestructura que mantenemos incluye infraestructura tecnológica especializada que permite a los usuarios interactuar mediante programación y reutilizar el contenido de los Proyectos (lo que se conoce como &quot;interfaz de programación de aplicaciones&quot; o &quot;API&quot;) y aplicaciones móviles.

Tal y como se indica en el resto de los términos de uso, nuestros servicios consisten en: [//www.wikimedia.org Los sitios web de los proyectos que alojamos], la infraestructura tecnológica que mantenemos y cualquier espacio técnico que alojamos para el mantenimiento y mejora de nuestros proyectos.

Debido a nuestro rol único, hay un par de cosas que hay que tener en cuenta a la hora de pensar en nuestra relación contigo, con los demás usuarios y con los proyectos:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''No ejercemos un rol editorial:''' Dado que los proyectos son editados de forma colaborativa, la gran mayoría de los contenidos que alojamos son proporcionados por los usuarios, y no asumimos un papel editorial. Esto significa que, por lo general, no supervisamos ni editamos el contenido de los sitios web de los proyectos, y no asumimos responsabilidad alguna por dicho contenido. Del mismo modo, a menos que indiquemos expresamente lo contrario, no avalamos ninguna opinión expresada a través de nuestros servicios, y no representamos ni garantizamos la veracidad, precisión o fiabilidad de ningún contenido publicado por la comunidad en los proyectos.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Eres responsable de tus propias acciones:''' Eres legalmente responsable de tus ediciones y contribuciones en los Proyectos, de la reutilización de contenidos en los Proyectos, de tu uso de las API y de tu utilización de nuestros servicios en general. Por tu propia protección, debes tener precaución y evitar cualquier acción que pueda derivar en responsabilidades penales o civiles bajo cualquier ley aplicable. Para mayor claridad, la ley aplicable incluye como mínimo las leyes de los Estados Unidos de América y del Estado de California. Para otros países, esto se determina sobre la base de cada caso. Aunque puede que no estemos de acuerdo con tales acciones, advertimos a los usuarios —especialmente a los editores, colaboradores y autores— que es posible que las autoridades de otros países intenten aplicarte sus leyes, incluyendo las leyes locales del lugar donde vives, o del lugar donde ves o editas contenidos. Por lo general, no podemos ofrecer ninguna protección, garantía, inmunidad o indemnización contra la aplicación de dichas leyes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Política de privacidad ==

Te aconsejamos que consultes los [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|términos de nuestra Política de privacidad]] para que conozcas cómo recopilamos y utilizamos tu información.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. El contenido que alojamos ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Es posible que encuentres algún contenido objetable o erróneo:''' Dado que alojamos una gran variedad de contenidos creados o recopilados por otros usuarios, es posible que encuentres material que consideres ofensivo, erróneo, engañoso, mal etiquetado, o de otro modo objetable. Por lo tanto, te pedimos que utilices el sentido común y el buen juicio al utilizar nuestros servicios.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''El contenido de los proyectos cumple solamente fines de información general:''' Aunque nuestros proyectos contienen gran cantidad de información relacionada con temas profesionales, como asuntos médicos, jurídicos o financieros, este contenido se presenta únicamente para propósitos de información general. No debe tomarse como asesoramiento profesional. Te aconsejamos buscar asesoramiento profesional independiente de alguien cualificado o con licencia en el ámbito aplicable en cuestión, en lugar de actuar sobre la base de cualquier información, opinión o recomendación contenida en alguno de los sitios web de los Proyectos.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Abstenerse de ciertas actividades ==

Los proyectos alojados por la Fundación Wikimedia existen únicamente porque hay una dinámica comunidad de usuarios como tú que colaboran para escribir, editar y mejorar el contenido. Nosotros, con satisfacción, damos la bienvenida a tu participación en esta comunidad. Te animamos a ser cívico y respetuoso en tus interacciones con los demás miembros de la comunidad, a actuar de buena fe y a realizar ediciones y contribuciones destinadas a promover la misión del proyecto compartido. Recomendamos a todos los usuarios que consulten y hagan seguimiento del [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Código Universal de Conducta]] (“CUC”), que establece los requisitos para una colaboración cordial y civilizada en todos los proyectos que gestionamos.

Ciertas actividades, tanto legales como ilegales en virtud de la legislación aplicable, pueden ser perjudiciales para otros usuarios e infringir nuestras reglas; y otras actividades también pueden acarrear una responsabilidad para ti. Por lo tanto, por tu propia protección y la de los demás usuarios, no puedes realizar tales actividades al utilizar nuestros proyectos. Estas actividades incluyen:

:'''Hostigar y/o acosar a otros'''
::* Participar en amenazas, acoso, envío de correo no deseado (spam), vandalismo u hostigamiento, tal y como se describe en el CUC;
::* Enviar cadenas de mensajes, correo no deseado o spam a otros usuarios;
::* Publicar o modificar contenidos con la intención de perjudicar gravemente a otros, como la incitación deliberada a autolesionarse o la provocación deliberada de la epilepsia.
:'''Violar la privacidad de otros'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Infringir los derechos de privacidad de otros según la legislación de los Estados Unidos de América o de otros ordenamientos jurídicos aplicables (que pueden incluir las leyes del lugar donde vives o donde ves o editas contenido);
::* Solicitar información de identificación personal con el propósito de acosar, sacar provecho o violar la privacidad, o para cualquier fin promocional o comercial no aprobado explícitamente por la Fundación Wikimedia; y
::* Solicitar información de identificación personal a cualquier persona menor de 18 años, o por debajo de la mayoría de edad en el lugar donde te encuentres en caso de ser superior a los 18 años, con un fin ilícito o infringiendo cualquier legislación aplicable relativa a la salud o el bienestar de las personas menores de edad.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Participar en declaraciones falsas, suplantaciones o fraude'''
::* Publicar intencionadamente o con conocimiento de causa contenidos que constituyan calumnia o difamación, según las leyes de los Estados Unidos de América;
::* Publicar o modificar contenidos con la intención de engañar o confundir a otros;
::* Intentar hacerse pasar por otro usuario o individuo, representar de manera falsa su afiliación con cualquier individuo o entidad, ocultar su afiliación con cualquier individuo o entidad cuando su revelación sea requerida por estos términos o la política del proyecto local, o utilizar el nombre o apodo de usuario de otra persona con la intención de engañar; y
::* Realizar o participar en actividades fraudulentas.
:'''Infringir los derechos de propiedad intelectual'''
::* Infringir derechos de autor, marcas registradas, patentes u otros derechos de propiedad conforme a la legislación aplicable.
:'''Utilizar de manera indebida nuestros servicios para otras actividades ilícitas'''
::* Publicar pornografía infantil o cualquier otro contenido que infrinja la legislación aplicable en materia de pornografía infantil o material de abuso sexual infantil, o alentar, incitar o abogar ante otras personas para que generen o compartan dicho material;
::* Publicar o traficar con material obsceno que sea ilegal bajo la ley aplicable; y
::* Utilizar los servicios de forma contraria a la legislación aplicable.
:'''Hacer un uso indebido y/o ilegal de nuestros servicios'''
::* Publicar o difundir contenidos que contengan virus, malware, gusanos, troyanos, códigos maliciosos u otros dispositivos que puedan dañar nuestra infraestructura o sistema técnico o el de otros usuarios;
::* Participar en usos automatizados de los sitios web del proyecto que sean abusivos o perjudiciales para los servicios, que infrinjan las políticas de uso aceptable cuando proceda o que no tengan la aprobación de la comunidad de Wikimedia;
::* Interrumpir los servicios al imponer una carga excesiva sobre una API, un sitio web de un proyecto o las redes o servidores conectados al sitio web de un proyectoo en particular;
::* Interrumpir los servicios saturando cualquiera de los sitios web del proyecto con comunicaciones u otro tráfico que no sugiera una intención seria de utilizar el sitio web del proyecto para su propósito declarado;
::* Acceder de forma consciente, manipular o utilizar cualquiera de nuestras áreas no públicas de nuestros sistemas informáticos sin autorización; y
::* Probar, analizar o comprobar la vulnerabilidad de cualquiera de nuestros sistemas técnicos o redes, a menos que se cumplan todas las condiciones siguientes:
:::* Que dichas acciones no supongan un uso indebido o una interrupción de nuestros sistemas técnicos o redes;
:::* Que dichas acciones no persigan un beneficio personal (salvo el reconocimiento por su trabajo);
:::* Que reportes cualquier vulnerabilidad a los desarrolladores correspondientes (o la soluciones tú mismo); y
:::* Que no realices dichas acciones con intención maliciosa o destructiva.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Contribuciones remuneradas sin declaración'''

::* Debes revelar todos y cada uno de tus empleadores, clientes, beneficiarios previstos y afiliaciones relacionadas con cualquier contribución por la que recibas o esperes recibir una remuneración. Deberás hacerlo en al menos una de las siguientes formas:
::* una declaración en tu página de usuario,
::* una declaración en la página de discusión que acompañe a cualquier contribución remunerada, o
::* una declaración en el resumen de edición que acompañe a cualquier contribución remunerada.
::* Adicionalmente, si realizas un anuncio público fuera de los proyectos en el que publicitas servicios de edición en Wikipedia a cambio de una compensación de cualquier tipo, deberás revelar todas las cuentas de Wikipedia que hayas utilizado o vayas a utilizar para este servicio en el anuncio público del servicio de terceros.
::* La legislación aplicable, o las políticas del proyecto específico y las políticas y normas de la Fundación, como las que tratan los conflictos de intereses, pueden limitar aún más las contribuciones remuneradas o exigir una declaración más detallada. Por ejemplo, infringir las marcas registradas de Wikimedia (definidas más adelante en la Sección 6) para publicitar servicios de edición remunerados, eliminar información sobre ediciones remuneradas previamente comunicadas de forma adecuada, o cerrar la sesión de edición remunerada de forma que haga prácticamente imposible una declaración adecuada, infringe esta sección.
::* La comunidad de un proyecto de Wikimedia podrá adoptar una política alternativa sobre revelación de información en relación con una contribución remunerada que puede complementar o reemplazar esta sección. Si un proyecto adopta una política de declaración alternativa, tendrás que cumplir con dicha política en vez de los requisitos establecidos en esta sección (titulada &quot;Contribuciones remuneradas sin declaración&quot;) cuando contribuya a ese proyecto en particular.

:: Para más información, puedes consultar nuestras [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|preguntas frecuentes sobre la revelación de información en contribuciones remuneradas]].


La edición no hecha pública por parte de usuarios que reciben una remuneración supone una gran carga para los editores voluntarios [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|que investigan y hacen cumplir las políticas de la comunidad]]. Por lo tanto, para las infracciones de esta sección relacionadas con la edición remunerada no hecha pública, deberás someterte a un “Arbitraje mediador” vinculante (una “Mediación de una empresa de marketing”) tal y como se describe en la sección 14 de estos términos de úsalo.

Nos reservamos el derecho a ejercer nuestro criterio discrecional en materia de ejecución de las disposiciones de la sección 4 de estos términos de uso. Cuando sea necesario, la aplicación de estos términos puede incluir acciones no enumeradas en las [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Acciones administrativas]] de la Fundación Wikimedia. En caso de que se requiera su aplicación en nuevas circunstancias, procuraremos actualizar las Acciones administrativas en un plazo máximo de un (1) año para catalogar el nuevo tipo de acción.

{{anchor|5}}

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 5. Seguridad de las contraseñas ==

Eres responsable de proteger tu contraseña y demás credenciales de seguridad, y nunca debes revelarlas a terceros.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 6. Política de marcas ==

Aunque dispones de libertades considerables para reutilizar el contenido de los sitios web de los proyectos, es importante que, en la Fundación Wikimedia, protejamos nuestros derechos de marca registrada para poder proteger a nuestros usuarios de personas que se hacen pasar por otros de forma fraudulenta. Por ello, agradecemos el respeto a nuestras marcas registradas. Todas las marcas registradas de la Fundación Wikimedia pertenecen a la Fundación Wikimedia, y cualquier uso de nuestros nombres comerciales, marcas registradas, marcas de servicio, logos o nombres de dominio deberá cumplir con estos términos de uso y con nuestra [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Política de marcas]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Licencia de contenidos ==

Para acrecentar el conocimiento y la cultura libre en común, todos los usuarios que contribuyan a los proyectos o a los sitios web de los proyectos deben conceder amplios permisos al público para redistribuir y reutilizar libremente sus contribuciones, siempre que el uso se atribuya adecuadamente y se conceda la misma libertad de reutilización y redistribución a cualquier fuente que derive de ellas. Siguiendo con nuestro objetivo de proveer información libre al mayor número de personas posible, exigimos que, cuando sea necesario, todos los contenidos publicados se licencien para que puedan ser reutilizados libremente por cualquiera que pueda acceder a ellos.

Estás de acuerdo con los siguientes requisitos de licenciamiento:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Texto sobre el que posees derechos de autor:''' Cuando contribuyas con un texto del que posees los derechos de autor, aceptas licenciarlo bajo:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Atribución-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacional] (“CC BY-SA 4.0”), y
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html Licencia de documentación libre de GNU] (“GFDL”) (sin versión, sin secciones invariantes, textos de portada o de contraportada).

Los que reutilicen la obra pueden ajustarse a cualquiera de las dos licencias o a ambas.&lt;br /&gt;
La única excepción es si la edición o modalidad del proyecto requiere una licencia diferente. En ese caso, aceptas conceder la licencia de cualquier texto que aportes bajo la licencia correspondiente a la edición del proyecto o a la modalidad.

Ten en cuenta que estas licencias permiten el uso comercial de tus contribuciones, siempre que dicho uso cumpla con los términos de las respectivas licencias. Cuando poseas derechos sui generis sobre bases de datos bajo la licencia CC BY-SA 4.0, deberás renunciar a estos derechos. Esto significa, por ejemplo, que los elementos que aportes a los proyectos podrán reutilizarse libremente sin atribución.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Reconocimiento de autoría:''' La atribución es una parte importante de estas licencias. Consideramos que es dar crédito a quien lo merece – a autores como tú. Cuando aportas contenido, aceptas que se te atribuya de cualquiera de las siguientes maneras:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mediante hipervínculo (donde sea posible) o URL al artículo al que contribuiste (ya que cada artículo tiene una página de historial que menciona a todos los colaboradores, autores y editores);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A través de un hipervínculo (donde sea posible) o URL a una versión en línea alternativa y permanente, de libre acceso, que cumpla con la licencia pertinente y que reconozca a los autores de forma equivalente al reconocimiento que se otorga en el sitio web del proyecto; o&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mediante una lista de todos los autores (pero ten en cuenta que cualquier lista de autores puede ser filtrada para excluir contribuciones muy pequeñas o irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importar texto:''' Puedes importar texto que hayas encontrado en otro sitio o del que hayas sido coautor con otros, pero en tal caso declaras y garantizas que el texto está disponible bajo términos que sean compatibles con la licencia CC BY-SA (o, como se explicó anteriormente, con otra licencia cuando lo requiera excepcionalmente en la edición o modalidad del proyecto). Para obtener una lista de licencias compatibles, consulta [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. No podrás importar contenido que esté disponible únicamente bajo la GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Acuerdas que, si importas texto bajo una licencia CC que requiera atribución, deberás acreditar al autor o autores de forma adecuada. En los casos en los que dicho reconocimiento se otorgue comúnmente mediante los historiales de las páginas (como al copiar internamente en Wikimedia), bastará con dar la atribución en el resumen de edición, que se registra en el historial de la página, al importar el texto. Los requisitos de atribución son a veces demasiado complicados para determinadas circunstancias (más allá de la licencia), y puede haber casos en los que la comunidad Wikimedia decida que el texto importado no puede utilizarse por ese motivo.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Los archivos multimedia sin texto:''' Los archivos multimedia en los proyectos que no incluyan texto están disponibles bajo una variedad de licencias diferentes que apoyan los objetivos de la comunidad de permitir la reutilización y redistribución sin restricciones. Cuando contribuyes con medios no textuales, te comprometes a cumplir con los requerimientos de dichas licencias, tal y como se describe en nuestra [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Política de licencias]], y también a cumplir con los requerimientos de la edición o modalidad específica del proyecto al que estás contribuyendo. Consulta también la [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Política de licencias de Wikimedia Commons]] para obtener más información sobre la contribución de archivos multimedia sin texto a Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''No revocación de la licencia:''' Con excepción de lo establecido en tu licencia, aceptas que no revocarás unilateralmente o buscarás la invalidación de cualquier licencia que hayas concedido en virtud de estos términos de uso para contenido de texto o de medios no textuales aportados a los proyectos o sus modalidades, incluso si dejas de utilizar nuestros servicios.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Contenido de dominio público:''' Los contenidos de dominio público son bienvenidos. Sin embargo, es importante que confirmes el estatus de dominio público del contenido bajo la ley de los Estados Unidos de América, así como las leyes de cualquier otro país, según lo requiera la edición del proyecto que se trate. Si aportas contenidos de dominio público, garantizas que el material sea realmente de dominio público y te comprometes a etiquetarlo adecuadamente.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Reutilización:''' La reutilización de los contenidos que alojamos es bienvenida, aunque existen excepciones para los contenidos aportados bajo “uso legítimo” o exenciones similares según la legislación aplicable sobre derechos de autor. Cualquier reutilización debe cumplir con la(s) licencia(s) asociadas(s).&lt;br /&gt;

Cuando usted reutiliza o redistribuye una página de texto desarrollada por la comunidad de Wikimedia, usted acepta atribuir los autores de alguna de las siguientes maneras:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mediante hipervínculo (donde sea posible) o URL a la página o páginas que se reutilicen (ya que cada página tiene un historial en la que aparecen todos los colaboradores, autores y editores);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mediante un hipervínculo (donde sea posible) o URL a una versión en línea alternativa y permanente que tenga acceso libre, que cumpla con la licencia, y que reconozca a los autores de forma equivalente al reconocimiento que se otorga en el sitio web del proyecto; o bien&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mediante una lista de todos los autores (pero tenga en cuenta que cualquier lista de autores puede ser filtrada para excluir ediciones muy pequeñas o irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Si el contenido de texto fue importado de otra fuente, es posible que el contenido tenga una licencia compatible CC BY-SA pero no con GFDL (como se describe anteriormente en &quot;Importar texto&quot;).  En ese caso, usted acepta cumplir con la licencia compatible CC BY-SA y no tiene la opción de relicenciarlo bajo GFDL.  Para determinar la licencia que aplica al contenido que usted busca reutilizar o redistribuir, usted debería revisar el pie de página, la página de historial y la página de discusión.

Además, ten en cuenta que el texto procedente de fuentes externas e importado a un proyecto puede estar bajo los términos de una licencia que imponga condiciones adicionales de atribución. Los usuarios aceptan incluir claramente estos requisitos adicionales de atribución. Dependiendo del proyecto, tales requisitos pueden aparecer, por ejemplo, en una barra u otros lugares que indiquen que parte o la totalidad del contenido fue publicado originalmente en otro sitio. Cuando existan tales notificaciones visibles, los que reutilicen dicho contenido deberán conservarlas.

En el caso de los archivos multimedia sin texto, aceptas cumplir con la licencia aplicable bajo la cual se haya publicado el contenido (que puede consultarse haciendo clic en el contenido y observando la sección de licencia en su página de descripción o revisando una página fuente de dicho contenido). Al reutilizar cualquier contenido que alojemos, te comprometes a cumplir con los requisitos de atribución relevantes que correspondan a la licencia o licencias subyacentes.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modificaciones o adiciones al contenido que reutilices:''' Cuando modifiques o añadas al texto que hayas obtenido de un sitio web del proyecto, aceptas que el contenido modificado o añadido tenga licencia CC BY-SA 4.0 o posterior (o, como se ha explicado anteriormente, otra licencia cuando así lo requiera excepcionalmente la edición o modalidad específica del proyecto).&lt;br /&gt;

Al modificar o realizar adiciones a cualquier archivo multimedia sin texto que se haya obtenido de un sitio web del proyecto, aceptas que el contenido modificado o añadido tenga licencia de conformidad con la licencia bajo la que se haya puesto a disposición dicha publicación.&lt;br /&gt;

Tanto con el contenido de texto como con los archivos multimedia sin texto, deberás indicar claramente que el contenido original ha sido modificado. Si reutilizas contenido de texto en una wiki, basta con indicar en el historial de la página que has realizado un cambio al texto importado. En cada copia o versión modificada que publiques, deberás incluir un aviso de licencia que indique bajo qué licencia se publica el contenido, junto con un hipervínculo o URL al texto de la licencia o una copia de la licencia en sí.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

La Fundación Wikimedia desea garantizar que el contenido que alojamos pueda ser reutilizado por otros usuarios sin temor a demandas y que no infrinja los derechos de propiedad de terceros. Siendo justos con nuestros usuarios, así como con otros creadores y propietarios de derechos de autor, nuestra política es responder a las denuncias de presuntas infracciones que cumplan con las disposiciones de la Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). De conformidad con la DMCA, daremos de baja, en las circunstancias pertinentes, a los usuarios y titulares de derechos avanzados de nuestro sistema y red que sean infractores reincidentes en nuestros proyectos y servicios.

Sin embargo, también reconocemos que no todas las notificaciones de remoción son válidas o de buena fe. En tales casos, alentamos encarecidamente a los usuarios a que presenten contranotificaciones cuando consideren que un aviso de eliminación de DMCA es inválida o improcedente. Para más información sobre qué hacer si consideras que se ha presentado incorrectamente una notificación DMCA, puedes consultar el sitio web [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Si eres propietario de un contenido que se esté utilizando indebidamente en uno de los proyectos sin tu autorización, puedes solicitar que se retire dicho contenido presentando una notificación conforme a la DMCA. Para realizar dicha solicitud, envíanos un correo electrónico a {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} o un [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|correo postal a nuestro representante autorizado]].Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns

También puedes hacer una petición a nuestra comunidad, que a menudo gestiona los asuntos relacionados con los derechos de autor con mayor celeridad y efectivamente que el proceso establecido por la DMCA. Para ello, puedes publicar un aviso explicando tus preocupaciones en materia de derechos de autor. Para obtener una lista no exhaustiva con algunos de los procesos pertinentes para las distintas ediciones de los proyectos, visita la [[:m:Copyright problems|página de problemas de derechos de autor]]. Antes de presentar una demanda DMCA, tienes también la opción de enviar un correo electrónico a la comunidad en {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 9. Sitios web y recursos de terceros ==

No seremos responsables del uso que hagas de sitios web o recursos de terceros. Aunque los proyectos y sus sitios web contienen enlaces a sitios web y recursos de terceros, no respaldamos ni somos responsables de su disponibilidad, veracidad o del contenido, productos o servicios relacionados (incluidos, entre otros, los virus u otros elementos perjudiciales), ni tenemos obligación alguna de supervisar dicho contenido de terceros.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Administración de páginas web ==

La comunidad tiene el rol principal de crear y hacer cumplir las políticas que se aplican a las diferentes ediciones del proyecto. En la Fundación Wikimedia, rara vez intervenimos en las decisiones de la comunidad sobre las políticas y su cumplimiento.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Puedes [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|ponerte en contacto directamente con nosotros]] para notificarnos la existencia de contenidos ilegales o que infrinjan nuestros términos de uso por otras razones (incluyendo todas las políticas y demás documentos incorporados por referencia).  Sin embargo, por lo general, puedes hacer una solicitud directamente a la comunidad del proyecto: esto puede ser más eficiente, y resulta más coherente con el objetivo de nuestros proyectos de empoderar a la comunidad de usuarios.
&lt;/div&gt;


Cada proyecto suele proporcionar páginas de “Ayuda” o “Contacto” para obtener orientación adicional, o ciertas herramientas para informar de problemas.  Alternativamente – si tienes dudas – puedes pedir ayuda a los miembros de la comunidad enviando un correo electrónico a {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} o a una dirección lingüística específica desde la página de voluntarios: [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]]. Ten en cuenta que estos buzones están controlados por los usuarios de los proyectos, y no por la Fundación. Por este motivo, no se les debe amenazar o enviar demandas legales.

Si te pones en contacto con la Fundación para comunicarnos un problema, por lo regular, analizaremos si los mecanismos comunitarios existentes pueden investigarlo y, en caso de ser necesario, resolverlo.

En un caso inusual, puede surgir la necesidad, o la comunidad nos lo puede pedir, de atender la situación de un usuario especialmente problemático o a algún contenido especialmente problemático debido a una grave afectación al proyecto o a una conducta peligrosa. En tales casos, nos reservamos el derecho, a nuestro exclusivo criterio (o por obligación legal), de:

* Investigar tu uso de los proyectos o de nuestros servicios (a) para determinar si se ha producido una violación a estos términos de uso, a la política de edición de proyectos o a cualquier otra norma o política aplicable, o (b) para cumplir con cualquier ley aplicable, proceso legal o solicitud gubernamental correspondiente;
* Detectar, prevenir o abordar de cualquier otro modo el fraude, la información falsa o no verificable, la seguridad o los problemas técnicos, o responder a las peticiones de soporte de los usuarios;
* Rechazar, deshacer, deshabilitar o restringir el acceso a las contribuciones de cualquier usuario que infrinja estos términos de uso;
* Inhabilitar a un usuario para editar o contribuir, o bloquear la cuenta o el acceso de un usuario por acciones que infrinjan estos términos de uso, incluyendo la publicación recurrente de contenido ilegal bajo la ley aplicable, de conformidad con los principios de los derechos humanos;
* Emprender acciones legales contra los usuarios que infrinjan estos términos de uso (incluyendo la presentación de informes a las autoridades policiales); y
* Gestionar de otro modo los sitios web del proyecto de forma que se facilite su buen funcionamiento y se protejan nuestros derechos, propiedad y seguridad, así como los de nuestros usuarios, otorgantes de licencias, asociados y el público en general.

Estas actividades de moderación de la Fundación podrán ser comunicadas o llevadas a cabo por programas informáticos (como la protección contra la sobrecarga del servidor  (“denegación de servicio”)). En esos casos, normalmente se dispone de revisión manual, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|de ser solicitado]].

En beneficio de nuestros usuarios y de los proyectos, en el caso extremo de que a alguna persona se le haya bloqueado la cuenta o el acceso conforme a esta sección, a dicha persona se le prohíbe crear o utilizar otra cuenta en el mismo proyecto o intentar acceder a él, a menos que le concedamos permiso explícito. Sin que ello limite la autoridad de la comunidad, la propia Fundación no prohibirá a un usuario editar o contribuir ni bloqueará su cuenta o acceso únicamente debido a críticas de buena fe que no deriven en acciones que de otra forma infrinjan estos términos de uso o las políticas de la comunidad.

La comunidad de Wikimedia y sus miembros pueden actuar igualmente cuando así lo permitan las políticas de la comunidad o de la Fundación aplicables a la edición del proyecto en particular, lo que incluye, entre otras cosas, advertencias, investigaciones, bloqueos o prohibiciones a los usuarios que incumplan dichas políticas. Tendrás que acatar las decisiones finales de los organismos de resolución de conflictos establecidos por la comunidad para las ediciones de proyectos específicos (como los comités de arbitraje); estas decisiones pueden incluir penalizaciones según lo establecido por la política de la edición de proyectos específicos.

Los usuarios especialmente problemáticos que hayan tenido cuentas o el acceso bloqueado en varias ediciones de proyectos podrán ser expulsados de todas las ediciones de proyectos, de acuerdo con la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Política sobre bloqueos globales]]. A diferencia de las resoluciones de la Junta Directiva o de estos términos de uso, las políticas establecidas por la comunidad, que pueden cubrir una sola edición de un proyecto o varias ediciones de un proyecto (como la Política sobre bloqueos globales), pueden ser modificadas por la comunidad correspondiente de acuerdo con sus propios procedimientos.

El bloqueo de una cuenta o acceso o la expulsión de un usuario en virtud de esta disposición se hará de conformidad con la Sección 13 de estos términos de Uso.

De considerar que no hemos actuado satisfactoriamente ante un informe de contenido problemático, o si has sido sometido a una acción de moderación de la Fundación que deseas impugnar, puedes [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|presentar una apelación]]. También podemos explicarte sobre los cauces de apelación en ese momento o podrás obtener más información en las páginas de ayuda de cada proyecto.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Nos reservamos el derecho a suspender (temporal o permanentemente) la tramitación de informes u otro tipo de correspondencia de usuarios o terceros, tanto sobre contenidos o conductas presuntamente ilícitos o problemáticos, como sobre solicitudes de apelación contra acciones de moderación, si dicha correspondencia se hubiera realizado de mala fe, fuera repetitiva, infundada y/o abusiva. En las circunstancias apropiadas, tu dirección de correo electrónico puede incluso ser bloqueada en nuestro(s) sistema(s) de correo electrónico, y en ese caso tendrás que ponerte en contacto con nosotros [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|en nuestra dirección postal]] si deseas seguir manteniendo correspondencia con nosotros durante ese bloqueo. En los casos menos graves (por ejemplo, hasta tres correos respetuosos sobre una o varias quejas infundadas), es probable que esta medida sea temporal. Si las comunicaciones son más frecuentes o abusivas, es más probable que se adopten medidas permanentes.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 11. Resoluciones y políticas de los proyectos ==

La Junta Directiva de la Fundación Wikimedia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|emite políticas oficiales]] cada cierto tiempo. Algunas de estas políticas pueden ser obligatorias para un determinado proyecto o edición de proyecto y, cuando lo sean, accedes a cumplirlas según corresponda.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. Condiciones de la API ==

Proporcionamos un conjunto de API, que incluyen documentación y herramientas asociadas, para permitir a los usuarios crear productos que promuevan el conocimiento libre. Al utilizar nuestras API, aceptas cumplir todas las políticas aplicables que rigen el uso de las API, entre las que se incluyen la [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Política de agentes de usuario]], la [[wikitech:Robot policy|Política de Robots]] y la [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (en conjunto, la “Documentación de API”), que se incorporan a estos términos de uso por referencia.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Terminación ==

Aunque esperamos que permanezcas y continúes contribuyendo a los proyectos, puedes dejar de utilizar nuestros servicios en cualquier momento. En determinadas circunstancias (esperemos que poco probables) puede ser necesario que nosotros o la comunidad de Wikimedia o sus miembros (como se describe en la Sección 10) pongamos fin a una parte o a la totalidad de nuestros servicios, rescindamos estos términos de uso, bloqueemos tu cuenta o acceso, o te expulsemos como usuario. Si tu cuenta o acceso es bloqueado o cancelado por cualquier razón, tus contribuciones públicas y un registro de tus actividades en o en relación con los proyectos (incluyendo cualquier correspondencia que nos hayas enviado) no se verán afectados (sujeto a las políticas aplicables), y podrás seguir accediendo a nuestras páginas públicas con el único propósito de leer el contenido públicamente disponible en los proyectos. En tales circunstancias, sin embargo, es posible que no tengas acceso a tu cuenta o configuraciones. De cualquier modo, independientemente de cualquier otra disposición de estos términos de uso, nos reservamos el derecho de suspender o finalizar los servicios en cualquier momento, con o sin causa, y con o sin previo aviso. Incluso después de que tu uso y participación sean prohibidos, bloqueados o suspendidos de algún modo, estos términos de uso seguirán vigentes con respecto a disposiciones relevantes, incluyendo las secciones 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 y 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Resaltado para enfatizar''

Esperamos que no surjan desacuerdos serios que te involucren, pero, en caso de que haya una disputa, te recomendamos que busques su resolución a través de los procedimientos o mecanismos de resolución de conflictos facilitados por los proyectos o ediciones de proyectos y la Fundación Wikimedia. Si decides presentar una reclamación legal contra nosotros, acordarás presentarla y resolverla exclusivamente en una corte estatal o federal ubicada en el condado de San Francisco, California. También estarás de acuerdo en que las leyes del Estado de California y, en la medida en que corresponda, las leyes de los Estados Unidos de América regirán estos términos de uso, así como cualquier reclamo legal que pueda surgir entre tú y nosotros (sin hacer referencia a ningún conflicto de principios legales). Aceptarás someterse a la jurisdicción personal de los tribunales ubicados en el condado de San Francisco, California, en cualquier acción o procedimiento legal relacionado con nosotros o con estos términos de uso, y estarás de acuerdo en cuanto a la idoneidad de dichos tribunales.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para garantizar que los litigios se resuelvan poco después de que surjan, acuerdas que, independientemente de cualquier estatuto o ley en contra, cualquier reclamación o causa de acción que puedas tener como consecuencia o en relación con el uso de nuestros servicios o estos términos de uso debe presentarse dentro del plazo establecido en la ley de prescripción o, de ser anterior, dentro de un (1) año luego de que los hechos que motivaron dicha reclamación o causa de acción hayan podido ser descubiertos con una diligencia razonable (de lo contrario será prescrita para siempre).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Como se indica en la sección 4 de estos términos de uso, accederás a resolver las violaciones de las contribuciones pagadas sin revelar información en una mediación de una empresa de marketing a discreción de la Fundación. Las mediaciones de una empresa de marketing son mediaciones '''vinculantes''' en las que, al final de una sesión de medio día o de un día completo, el mediador decidirá los puntos discutidos que queden sin resolver mediante una decisión jurídicamente vinculante. Se llevarán a cabo en reuniones por teleconferencia o videoconferencia. Si se requiere una reunión en persona, la mediación de la empresa de marketing tendrá lugar en el condado de San Francisco, California. Las partes se repartirán por igual todos los honorarios y gastos relacionados con la mediación/arbitraje.

Como parte de la mediación de una empresa de marketing, accedes a cooperar con la Fundación, lo que incluye facilitar puntualmente toda la documentación que poseas relativa a tus actividades de edición remuneradas no reveladas, incluyendo las cuentas utilizadas, los artículos implicados y los clientes que adquirieron dichos servicios.

Las mediaciones de una empresa de marketing están sujetas y se rigen por la Ley Federal de Arbitraje hasta el grado en que el mediador se convierte en árbitro. La parte ganadora tendrá derecho a recuperar los honorarios de sus abogados (incluidos todos los honorarios necesarios para determinar la aplicabilidad de la mediación de una empresa de marketing y para hacer cumplir el resultado vinculante) y todos los gastos relacionados con la investigación y el cumplimiento de sus derechos. Se podrá considerar que una parte ha “ganado” aunque no haya tenido éxito en cada reclamo interpuesto.

Si por alguna razón la totalidad de estos requisitos de la mediación de la empresa de marketing se consideran inaplicables, aceptarás resolver cualquier disputa tal y como se describe al principio de esta sección.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

En la Fundación Wikimedia hacemos todo lo que podemos para ofrecer contenidos educativos e informativos a un público muy amplio, pero el uso que hagas de nuestros servicios es bajo tu propio riesgo. Estos servicios se proporcionan bajo las cláusulas de &quot;tal y como está&quot; y &quot;como estén disponibles&quot;. Por ello, renunciamos expresamente a todas las garantías manifiestas o implícitas de todo tipo, incluyendo, entre otras, las garantías implícitas de comerciabilidad, idoneidad para un fin determinado o no infracción. No garantizamos que nuestros servicios cumplan con tus requerimientos, sean seguros, ininterrumpidos, rápidos, precisos o libres de errores, ni que tu información esté segura.

No somos responsables del contenido, los datos o las acciones de terceros, y nos exoneras a nosotros, nuestros directores, funcionarios, empleados y agentes de cualquier reclamo y daños, conocidos y desconocidos, ocasionados por o de cualquier manera relacionados con cualquier reclamo que tengas contra dichos terceros. Ningún consejo o información, ya sea oral o escrito, que obtengas de nosotros o a través de nuestros servicios constituye ningún tipo de garantía que no esté expresamente indicada en estos términos de uso.

Cualquier material descargado u obtenido de otro modo a través del uso de nuestros servicios se realiza a su entera discreción y bajo su propia responsabilidad, y usted será el único responsable de cualquier daño a tu sistema informático o pérdida de datos que resulte de la descarga de dicho material. Aceptas que no tenemos ninguna responsabilidad u obligación por la supresión de, o imposibilidad de almacenar o transmitir, cualquier contenido o comunicación mantenida por el servicio. Nos reservamos el derecho a establecer límites de uso y almacenamiento a nuestra entera discreción en cualquier momento, con o sin previo aviso.

Algunos estados o jurisdicciones no permiten los tipos de exención de responsabilidad de esta sección, por lo que esta puede no aplicarse total o parcialmente a ti, dependiendo de la ley que te sea aplicable.&lt;/div&gt;

La Fundación Wikimedia no será responsable ante ti o cualquier otra parte por ningún daño directo, indirecto, incidental, extraordinario, resultante o punitivo, incluyendo, pero sin limitarse a, daños por pérdida de ganancias, fondos, uso, datos u otras pérdidas intangibles, independientemente de que hayamos sido advertidos de la posibilidad de tales daños. En ningún caso nuestra responsabilidad excederá de mil dólares estadounidenses (1000,00 USD) en total. En el caso de que la ley aplicable no permita la limitación o exclusión de responsabilidad o daños incidentales o derivados, puede que la limitación o exclusión anterior no se aplique a ti, aunque nuestra responsabilidad se limitará en la mayor cuantía permitida por la ley aplicable.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modificaciones de estos Términos de uso ==

Así como el aporte de la comunidad Wikimedia es esencial para el desarrollo y mantenimiento de los proyectos, creemos que los comentarios de la comunidad son esenciales para que estos términos de uso sirvan adecuadamente a nuestros usuarios. Es igualmente importante para un contrato justo. Por lo tanto, proporcionaremos estos términos de uso, así como cualquier revisión significativa futura de estos términos de uso, a la comunidad para que realice comentarios al menos treinta (30) días antes de que finalice el periodo de comentarios. Si una futura revisión propuesta es sustancial, concederemos un plazo adicional de 30 días para comentarios después de publicar una traducción de la revisión propuesta en al menos tres idiomas (seleccionados a nuestra discreción). Se alentará a la comunidad a traducir la revisión propuesta a otras lenguas, según convenga. En caso de cambios por motivos legales o administrativos, para corregir algún enunciado errado, o cambios en respuesta a comentarios de la comunidad, lo notificaremos con al menos tres (3) días de antelación.

Debido a que puede ser necesario modificar estos términos de uso cada cierto tiempo, notificaremos de tales cambios y daremos la oportunidad de comentar a través de los sitios web del proyecto y mediante una notificación en [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. No obstante, es necesario que revises regularmente la versión más actualizada de estos términos de uso. Al continuar usando nuestros servicios después de que los nuevos términos de uso se hayan hecho oficiales tras el periodo de notificación y revisión, estás aceptando estos términos de uso. Para la protección de la Fundación Wikimedia y de otros usuarios como tú, si no estás de acuerdo con nuestros términos de uso, no puedes utilizar nuestros servicios.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Otros términos ==

Estos términos de uso no crean una relación laboral, de agencia, asociación, control conjunto o sociedad conjunta entre tú y nosotros, la Fundación Wikimedia. A los efectos de la legislación del Espacio Económico Europeo, la legislación del Reino Unido u otras leyes que entrañen un concepto similar, no estás actuando “bajo la autoridad de” la Fundación cuando utilizas los servicios. Si no has firmado un acuerdo por separado con nosotros, estos términos de uso constituyen el acuerdo completo entre tú y nosotros. Si hubiera alguna discrepancia entre estos términos de uso y un acuerdo escrito firmado entre tú y nosotros, prevalecerá el acuerdo firmado.

Estás de acuerdo con que te enviemos notificaciones, incluyendo las relativas a cambios en los términos de uso, por correo electrónico, correo postal o anuncios en los proyectos o sitios web de los proyectos.

Si en alguna circunstancia no aplicamos o hacemos cumplir alguna disposición de estos términos de uso, no se tratará de una renuncia a dicha disposición.

Comprendes que, a menos que acordemos lo contrario por escrito, no tienes expectativas de compensación por ninguna actividad, contribución o idea que nos brindes a nosotros, a la comunidad o a los proyectos o ediciones de proyectos.

No obstante cualquier disposición contraria en estos términos de uso, nosotros (la Fundación Wikimedia) y tú nos comprometemos a no modificar los términos y requisitos aplicables de cualquier licencia libre que se emplee en los proyectos o ediciones de proyectos cuando dicha licencia libre esté autorizada por estos términos de uso.

Estos términos de uso han sido escritos originalmente en inglés (EE.UU.). Aunque esperamos que las traducciones de estos términos de uso sean precisas, en caso de diferencias de significado entre la versión original en inglés y una traducción, prevalecerá la versión original en inglés.

Si alguna disposición o parte de una disposición de estos términos de uso se considera inválida, nula o inaplicable, esa disposición o parte de la disposición se considerará excluida de estos términos de uso y se aplicará en la medida máxima permitida, y todas las demás disposiciones de estos términos de uso permanecerán en plena vigencia y efecto.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ¡Gracias! ==

Te agradecemos que te hayas tomado la molestia de leer estos términos de uso, y estamos muy contentos de que contribuyas a los proyectos y utilices nuestros servicios. A través de tus contribuciones, estás ayudando a construir algo realmente grande – no solamente una importante colección de proyectos de referencia editados colaborativamente que proveen educación e información a millones de personas que de otro modo les resultarían inaccesibles, sino también una dinámica comunidad de pares con ideas afines y comprometidos, centrados en un objetivo muy noble.

'''''Imaginez un monde dans lequel chaque être humain peut librement partager la somme de toutes les connaissances. C’est notre engagement.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Notre vision]]

Bienvenue sur Wikimedia ! La « Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. » (« nous » ou la « Fondation ») est une association caritative à but non lucratif, dont le siège est à San Francisco en Californie aux États-Unis, dont [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|la mission]] consiste à donner aux personnes du monde entier les moyens et l’envie de rassembler et de produire des contenus sous une [[:w:fr:Œuvre libre|licence libre]] ou dans le domaine public et de les propager efficacement, dans le monde entier et gratuitement.

Afin de soutenir notre communauté active, nous fournissons l’infrastructure essentielle et le cadre organisationnel permettant le développement de projets wiki multilingues et de leurs éditions (comme expliqué sur notre [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|page des projets Wikimedia]], ci-après dénommés  « Projets »), ainsi que d’autres efforts pour servir cette mission. Nous nous battons pour créer et maintenir les contenus éducatifs et informatifs de nos Projets à disposition sur Internet, gratuitement et à jamais.

Nous vous (« vous » ou « l’utilisateur ») souhaitons la bienvenue en tant que lecteur ou contributeur des Projets et nous vous encourageons à rejoindre la communauté Wikimedia. Avant de participer, nous vous demandons néanmoins de bien vouloir lire et accepter les Conditions d’utilisation suivantes (« les Conditions d’utilisation »).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Les présentes Conditions d’utilisation vous informent sur les services de la Fondation Wikimedia accessibles au public, sur notre relation avec vous en tant qu’utilisateur, ainsi que sur les droits et responsabilités qui guident chacun de nous. Nous hébergeons une quantité incroyable de contenus éducatifs et informatifs, qui a été entièrement apportée et rendue possible par des utilisateurs tels que vous. En règle générale nous n’apportons, ni ne surveillons, ni ne supprimons de contenu (sauf dans de rares exceptions dans le cadre de politiques, telles que les présentes Conditions d’utilisation, pour se conformer à la loi ou en cas de menace urgente d’un préjudice grave). Cela signifie que le contrôle éditorial est entre vos mains et celles de vos collègues utilisateurs qui créent et gèrent le contenu.

La communauté — le réseau des utilisateurs qui constamment bâtissent et utilisent les divers Projets ou leurs sites web (ci-après dénommés « Sites web de Projets ») — est la principale ressource à travers laquelle les objectifs de la mission sont réalisés. La communauté contribue à nos Sites web de Projets et aide à les régir. La communauté a également la responsabilité essentielle de créer et faire appliquer des politiques sur les éditions spécifiques des Projets (telles que les différentes éditions linguistiques pour le Projet Wikipédia ou l’édition multilingue de Wikimedia Commons).

Vous, en tant qu’utilisateur, êtes encouragé à participer en tant que contributeur, modificateur ou auteur, mais vous devez suivre les règles qui gouvernent chacune des éditions indépendantes des Projets, y compris le [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Code universel de conduite]] (''UCoC'') qui s’applique à toutes les éditions des Projets. Le plus grand de nos Projets est Wikipédia, mais nous hébergeons également d’autres Projets, chacun avec des objectifs différents et des méthodes de travail différentes. Chaque édition de Projet a une équipe de contributeurs, modificateurs et auteurs qui, tous ensemble, travaillent pour créer et gérer le contenu de cette édition de Projet. Vous êtes encouragé à rejoindre ces équipes et à travailler avec eux pour améliorer ces Projets. Puisque nous nous dévouons à rendre le contenu librement accessible au public, le contenu que vous contribuez est rendu disponible sous une licence libre ou publié dans le domaine public.

Veuillez noter que vous êtes légalement responsable de toutes vos contributions, éditions et réutilisation du contenu de Wikimedia en vertu des lois des États-Unis d'Amérique et d'autres lois applicables (qui peuvent inclure les lois où vous êtes ou le sujet de vos contributions sont situés). Cela signifie qu'il est important d'être prudent lorsque vous publiez, modifiez ou réutilisez du contenu. À la lumière de cette responsabilité, nous avons certaines règles sur ce que vous ne pouvez pas faire, dont la plupart sont soit pour votre propre protection, soit pour la protection d'autres utilisateurs comme vous. Veuillez noter que le contenu que nous hébergeons est uniquement destiné à des fins d'information générale, donc si vous avez besoin de conseils d'experts pour une question particulière (comme des questions médicales, juridiques ou financières), vous devriez demander l'aide d'un professionnel approprié. Nous incluons également d'autres avis importantly et des exclusions, veuillez donc lire les presents Conditions utilisation dans leur integrate.

Pour plus de clarté, d’autres organisations, telles que des [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|sections locales (ou « chapitres ») de Wikimedia]] et des associations, qui peuvent partager la même mission, sont cependant juridiquement indépendantes et distinctes de la Fondation Wikimedia. À moins que ce soit stipulé autrement par la Fondation en tant que partie autorisée sur un site web de Projet, ces autres organisations n’exercent aucune responsabilité s’agissant des opérations sur le site web du projet ou de son contenu.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Nos services ==

La Fondation Wikimedia se dévoue pour encourager la croissance, le développement et la distribution de contenus libres multilingues, ainsi que pour héberger le contenu complet de ces Projets basés sur des wikis à destination du public pour un usage gratuit. Notre rôle est d’héberger quelques uns des plus grands Projets de référence rédigés collaborativement dans le monde, [//www.wikimedia.org ce qui peut être trouvé sur cette page]. Cependant, nous n’agissons qu’en tant que fournisseur de service d’hébergement, en maintenant une infrastructure et un cadre organisationnel. Cette infrastructure et ce cadre permet à nos utilisateurs de construire les Projets Wikimedia en contribuant et en modifiant le contenu eux-mêmes. Nous autorisons également nos utilisateurs à réutiliser ce contenu. L’infrastructure que nous maintenons comprend des éléments d’infrastructure technologique spécialisée, qui permettent aux utilisateurs d’interagir programmatiquement avec nos Projets et d’en réutiliser le contenu (ci-après dénommée « Interface de Programmation d’Application » or «''API'' »), ainsi que des applications mobiles.

Tels qu’ils sont utilisés tout au long du reste des Conditions d’utilisation, nos services comprennent : [//www.wikimedia.org les Sites Web de Projets que nous hébergeons], l’infrastructure technologique que nous maintenons et tous les espaces techniques que nous hébergeons pour la maintenance et l’amélioration de nos Projets.

Du fait de notre rôle exclusif, il y a au moins deux choses que vous devez savoir concernant notre relation avec vous, les Projets et les autres utilisateurs :

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Nous n’exerçons pas de rôle éditorial :''' puisque les Projets sont rédigés et modifiés de façon collaborative, la grande majorité du contenu que nous hébergeons est fourni par des utilisateurs comme vous et nous n’exerçons pas de rôle éditorial dessus. Ceci signifie que généralement nous ne surveillons ni ne modifions aucun contenu des Projets du Site web et que nous n’exerçons pas de responsabilité quant à ce contenu. De façon similaire et à moins que nous l’ayant déclaré autrement de manière explicite, nous n’endossons aucune des opinions exprimées via nos services et nous ne représentons ni ne garantissons aucune vérité, précision ou fiabilité des contenus postés par la communauté dans les Projets .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Vous êtes responsable de vos propres actions :''' vous êtes légalement responsable de vos modifications et des contributions sur les Projets, de votre réutilisation du contenu des Projets, de votre utilisation des Interfaces de programmation d’applications (''API'') et plus généralement de votre utilisation de nos services. Pour votre propre protection, vous devriez faire preuve de prudence et éviter d’effectuer toute action qui pourrait entraîner une responsabilité civile ou criminelle sous le coup de toute loi applicable. Pour plus de clarté, les lois applicables incluent au moins les lois des États-Unis d’Amérique et de l’État de Californie. Pour d’autres pays, ceci est déterminé au cas par cas. Bien qu’il soit possible que nous ne puissions ne pas être d’accord avec de telles actions, nous avertissons les utilisateurs — et notamment les rédacteurs, modificateurs et auteurs — que des autorités non américaines peuvent chercher à vous faire appliquer des lois d’autres pays, y compris la législation locale du lieu où vous habitez ou celles du lieu d’où vous visualisez ou modifiez le contenu. Nous ne pouvons généralement offrir aucune protection, garantie, immunité ni indemnisation contre l’application de telles lois.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Politique de confidentialité ==

Nous vous demandons de consulter attentivement les [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|termes de notre Politique de confidentialité]], afin que vous soyez conscient de la façon par laquelle nous collectons et utilisons vos informations personnelles.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Contenu que nous hébergeons ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Vous pourriez trouver certains éléments de contenu problématiques ou erronés :''' puisque nous hébergeons un vaste ensemble de contenus qui sont produits ou rassemblés par des utilisateurs semblables à vous, vous pourriez rencontrer des éléments que vous trouvez offensifs, erronés, menant dans de mauvaises directions, mal identifiés ou autrement problématiques. Nous demandons par conséquent que vous utilisiez le bon sens et votre propre jugement lorsque vous utilisez nos services.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Le contenu des Projets n’a pour but que de fournir des informations :''' bien que nous hébergions une grande quantité d’informations qui relèvent de sujets professionnels, y compris dans le domaine médical, juridique ou financier, le contenu n’est proposé qu’à titre informatif. Il ne saurait en aucun cas être considéré comme un conseil professionnel. Veuillez vous adresser à des conseils professionnels indépendants qui sont agréés ou qualifiés dans le domaine applicable, au lieu d’agir en fonction d’informations, d’opinions ou de conseils contenus sur un des sites Internet de Projet.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Restrictions de certaines activités ==

Les Projets hébergés par la Fondation Wikimedia n’existent que grâce à la vibrante communauté d’utilisateurs comme vous, qui travaillent ensemble pour rédiger, modifier, corriger et organiser le contenu. Nous sommes heureux d’accueillir votre participation au sein de cette communauté, afin d’agir de bonne foi et d’effectuer des modifications et contributions visant à poursuivre la mission du Projet partagé. Nous demandons que tous les utilisateurs passent attentivement en revue et suivent le [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Code universel de Conduite]] (« ''UCoC'' »), qui dresse le tableau des exigences pour une collaboration collégiale et civile au travers de tous les Projets que nous hébergeons.

Certaines activités, qu’elles soient légales ou illégales selon la loi applicable, peuvent porter atteinte à d’autres utilisateurs et violer nos règles ; certaines activités peuvent également mettre en cause votre responsabilité. C’est la raison pour laquelle, pour vous protéger et protéger les autres utilisateurs, vous ne devez pas perpétrer de telles activités sur nos Projets, ni en les utilisant. Parmi ces activités figurent le fait de :

: '''harceler et commettre des abus envers d’autres utilisateurs :'''
::* se livrer à des menaces, des propos outrageants, des postages massifs indésirables, du vandalisme ou du harcèlement, tels que décrits dans l’''UCOC'' ;
::* transmettre à d’autres utilisateurs des courriers en chaîne, des courriers de déchets, ou des courriers massifs indésirables ;
: '''violer la vie privée d’autrui :'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* enfreindre les droits de confidentialité des autres selon les lois des États-Unis ou d’autres lois applicables (qui peuvent inclure les lois du lieu où vous vivez ou celles du lieu où vous visualisez ou modifiez le contenu) ;
::* solliciter des informations personnellement identifiables dans des buts de harcèlement, d’exploitation, de violation de confidentialité ou dans tout autre but promotionnel ou commercial non explicitement approuvé par la Fondation Wikimedia ; et
::* solliciter des informations personnellement identifiables de quiconque âgé de moins de 18 ans, ou n’ayant pas l’âge de la majorité si elle est supérieure à 18 ans, dans un but illégal ou violer toute loi applicable regardant la santé et le bien-être des personnes mineures ;
&lt;/div&gt;
: '''s’engager dans de fausses déclarations, l’usurpation d’identité ou la fraude :'''
::* publier intentionnellement ou en connaissance de cause tout contenu qui constitue un outrage ou une diffamation ;
::* publier ou modifier tout contenu dans l’intention de tromper ou de mener les autres dans une mauvaise direction ;
::* tenter d’usurper l’identité d’un autre utilisateur ou individu, vous représenter avec une fausse affiliation avec tout individu ou toute entité, masquer votre affiliation avec tout individu ou toute entité dans sa divulgation est exigée par les présentes ou par la politique locale de Projet, ou bien utiliser le nom utilisateur d’un autre utilisateur dans l’intention de tromper ; et
::* s’engager dans la fraude ;
: '''enfreindre des droits de propriété intellectuelle :'''
::* enfreindre des droits d’auteur (''copyright''), des marques de commerce, des brevets ou autres droits de propriété industrielle et commerciale dans le cadre des lois applicables ;
: '''détourner l’utilisation de nos services pour d’autres fins illégales :'''
::* publier de la pornographie impliquant des mineurs ou tout autre contenu qui contrevient aux lois applicables concernant la pornographie des enfants ou tout matériel portant sur l’abus sexuel des enfants, ou encore encourager, défendre d’autres personnes à créer ou partager de tels matériels ;
::* publier ou faire un trafic de contenus ou matériels obscènes, illégaux en vertu des lois applicables ; et
::* utiliser les services d’une façon incompatible avec la loi applicable ;
: '''faire un usage perturbant et illégal des équipements et services :'''
::* publier ou distribuer un contenu contenant tout virus, programme malveillant, vers informatique, cheval de Troie, code malveillant ou autre dispositif pouvant porter atteinte à notre infrastructure ou système technique ou à ceux d’autres utilisateurs ;
::* s’engager dans un usage automatisé des Sites Internet de Projet qui est abusif ou perturbe les services, viole les politiques d’utilisation applicables et qui n’a pas été avalisé par la communauté Wikimedia ;
::* perturber les services en plaçant une charge excessive sur une interface de programmation d’application (API), le Site Internet d’un Projet ou sur les réseaux ou serveurs connectés à un Site Internet de Projet particulier ;
::* perturber les services en inondant un Site Internet de Projet par des communications ou autres trafics qui ne démontrent pas de tentative crédible d’utiliser le Site Internet de Projet dans le but qui est le sien ;
::* accéder, altérer ou utiliser sciemment l’une de nos zones non publiques sur nos systèmes informatiques sans autorisation ; et
::* vérifier, scanner ou tester la vulnérabilité de l’un quelconque de nos systèmes ou réseaux techniques sauf si l’ensemble des conditions suivantes sont remplies :
:::* de telles actions n’abusent pas de manière excessive ni ne perturbent nos systèmes ou réseaux techniques ;
:::* de telles actions ne sont pas perpétrées à des fins de profit personnel (à l’exception de la rétribution de votre travail) ;
:::* vous signalez toute vulnérabilité aux développeurs appropriés (ou vous les résolvez vous-même) ; et
:::* vous ne perpétrez pas de telles actions dans un but malveillant ou destructeur ;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
: '''effectuer des contributions rémunérées sans divulgation :'''

::* vous devez divulguer l’identité de chacun de vos employeurs, clients et affiliations bénéficiaires relativement à toute contribution à tout projet Wikimedia pour laquelle vous percevez une rémunération ou comptez en percevoir ; vous devez procéder à cette divulgation au moins d’une des manières suivantes :
::* par une déclaration sur votre page d’utilisateur,
::* par une déclaration sur la page de discussion qui accompagne toute contribution rémunérée, ou
::* par une déclaration sur le résumé des révisions qui accompagne toute contribution rémunérée.
::* En outre, si vous effectuez une annonce publique hors des Projets et qui fait publicité de services de modification sur Wikipédia en échange d’une rémunération de tout type, vous devez divulguer tous les comptes Wikipédia que vous avez utilisés ou que vous utiliserez pour ce service dans l’annonce publique sur le service tiers.
::* La législation en vigueur, les politiques spécifiques d’un Projet ou les politiques et directives de la communauté et de la Fondation, notamment celles qui régissent les conflits d’intérêts, peuvent limiter davantage les contributions rémunérées ou exiger une divulgation plus détaillée. Par exemple, enfreindre les marques commerciales de Wikimedia (défini ci-dessous à l’article 6) afin de faire publicité de services de modification rémunérée, retirer des divulgations sur les modifications rémunérées précédemment divulguées, ou encore effectuer des modifications rémunérées hors-ligne d’une façon qui rende pratiquement impossible une divulgation adéquate, constituent autant de violations du présent article.
::* La communauté d’un Projet Wikimedia peut adopter une politique alternative relative à la divulgation des contributions rémunérées, laquelle peut comporter des exigences supplémentaires ou remplacer cette section. Si un Projet adopte une politique alternative de divulgation, vous devez vous conformer à ladite politique au lieu des exigences de cette section (intitulée « effectuer des contributions rémunérées sans divulgation ») lorsque vous contribuez à ce Projet particulier.

:: Pour de plus amples informations, veuillez consulter nos [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|questions et réponses sur la divulgation des contributions rémunérées]].


Les modifications non divulguées par les utilisateurs recevant une rémunération créent un fardeau déraisonnable sur les contributeurs bénévoles [[:en:Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide|qui enquêtent et font appliquer les politiques communautaires]]. Par conséquent, pour toute violation de cette section relative aux modifications rémunérées non divulguées, vous acceptez de vous soumettre à l’autorité contraignante d’une « ''Med-Arb »'' (une « Médiation de société de marketing »), tel que décrit à l’article 14 des présentes Conditions d’utilisation.

Nous nous réservons le droit de faire respecter à notre discrétion les provisions de l’article 4 des présentes Conditions d’utilisation. Si nécessaire, l’application de ces conditions peut inclure des actions non listées dans la [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Politique d’action administrative]] de la Fondation Wikimedia. Si une mise en application est requise dans de nouvelles circonstances, nous ferons un effort dans un délai d’un (1) an au maximum pour mettre à jour la Politique d’action administrative afin de cataloguer le nouveau type d’action.

{{anchor|5}}

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 5. Sécurité des mots de passe ==

Vous êtes responsable de la sauvegarde et la protection de votre propre mot de passe ou de tout autre certificat ou donnée de sécurité et ne devez jamais les divulguer à des tiers.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 6. Marques commerciales ==

Bien que vous bénéficiiez d’une grande latitude concernant la réutilisation du contenu des Sites Internet de Projets, il est important pour la Fondation Wikimedia de protéger ses droits de propriété industrielle et commerciale de façon à protéger ses utilisateurs contre les usurpations frauduleuses. C’est pourquoi nous vous demandons de respecter nos marques de commerce. Toutes les marques de commerce de la Fondation Wikimedia appartiennent à la Fondation Wikimedia ; et toutes les utilisations de noms commerciaux, marques de commerce, marques de service, logos ou noms de domaine doivent êtres conformes aux présentes ainsi qu’à la [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Politique relative aux marques de commerce]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Licences applicables au contenu ==

Afin de faire croître les biens communs de connaissance et de culture libres, tous les utilisateurs qui contribuent aux Projets ou aux Sites Internet de Projets doivent accorder au public général des permissions étendues pour redistribuer et réutiliser leurs contributions librement, tant que cette utilisation reste proprement attribuée et que la même liberté de réutiliser et redistribuer est accordée à toutes les œuvres dérivées. En gardant notre objectif de fournir des informations libres à une audience la plus large possible, nous requérons que, lorsque cela est nécessaire, tous les contenus soumis soient placés sous une licence leur permettant d’être réutilisables par quiconque souhaitant y accéder.

Vous consentez aux exigences suivantes relatives aux conditions de licence :
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Texte dont vous détenez les droits d’auteur :''' lorsque vous publiez du texte dont vous détenez les droits d’auteur, vous acceptez de la placer sous :
* la [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Licence Creative Commons Attribution-Partage dans les mêmes conditions 4.0 international] (« CC BY-SA 4.0 ») ; et
* la [//www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.fr.html Licence GNU de documentation libre] (« GFDL ») (non versionnée, sans section invariante, ni texte initial de couverture, ni texte de fin de couverture).

Les réutilisateurs peuvent satisfaire à l’une ou l’autre des licences ou aux deux.&lt;br /&gt;
La seule exception est lorsque l’édition du Projet ou sa fonctionnalité nécessite une licence différente. Dans ce cas, vous consentez à accorder une licence pour tout contenu que vous fournissez dans le cadre de la licence particulière exigée par ladite édition ou fonctionnalité.

Veuillez noter que ces licences autorisent effectivement des utilisations commerciales de vos contributions, tant que de telles utilisations se conforment aux conditions des licences respectives. Si vous êtes titulaire de droits ''sui generis'' relatifs aux bases de données couverts par la licence CC BY-SA 4.0, vous renoncez à ces droits. Par exemple, cela signifie que les faits ainsi couverts et exposés dans vos contributions aux projets peuvent être réutilisés librement sans attribution.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Attribution :''' l’attribution est une partie importante de ces licences. Nous la considérons comme donner le crédit à qui ce crédit est dû — aux auteurs tels que vous-même. Lorsque vous contribuez du texte, vous acceptez d’en être crédité comme auteur d’une quelconque des façons suivantes :
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;par un hyperlien (si possible) ou une URL vers l’article auquel vous avez contribué (puisque chaque article comporte une page historique qui liste tous ses contributeurs, auteurs et modificateurs) ;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;par un hyperlien (si possible) ou une URL vers une copie en ligne alternative et stable, qui est librement accessible et en conformité avec la licence, et qui donne crédit aux auteurs d’une façon équivalente au crédit donné sur le site Internet du Projet ; ou&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;par une liste de tous les auteurs (mais veuillez noter que toute liste d’auteurs pourrait être filtrée pour exclure des contributions très petites ou inappropriées).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importation de texte :''' vous pouvez importer un texte que vous avez trouvé ailleurs ou que vous avez coécrit avec d’autres, mais dans ce cas vous déclarez et garantissez que le texte est disponible conformément à des conditions compatibles avec la licence CC BY-SA (ou, tel qu’indiqué ci-dessus, une autre licence lorsque celle-ci est exceptionnellement requise par l’édition du Projet ou sa fonctionnalité). Pour une liste des licences compatibles, consultez [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Vous ne devez importer aucun contenu qui n’est disponible que sous la seule licence GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Vous acceptez que, si vous importez du texte sous une licence Creative Commons (« CC ») qui exige une attribution, vous devez en créditer le ou les auteurs d’une façon raisonnable. Là où un tel crédit est communément donné au moyen des historiques de page (par exemple la copie interne à Wikimedia), il est suffisant de donner cette attribution dans le résumé de modification enregistré dans l’historique de page, lors de l’importation du texte. Les nécessités d’attribution sont parfois trop intrusives dans certaines circonstances particulières (indépendamment de la licence) et il peut exister des cas où la communauté Wikimedia décide que le texte importé ne peut pas être utilisé pour cette raison.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Média non textuel :''' les médias non textuels des Projets sont accessibles par le biais de diverses licences qui tendent toutes à permettre une réutilisation et une redistribution sans restriction. Lorsque vous soumettez des médias non textuels, vous consentez à vous conformer aux exigences des licences décrites dans notre [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Politique relative aux licences]] et à respecter également les exigences liées à l’édition ou la fonctionnalité du Projet spécifique auquel vous contribuez. Référez-vous également à la [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Politique de licences de Wikimedia Commons]] pour obtenir plus d’informations sur la soumission de médias non textuels à Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Non-révocation de licence :''' sauf pour se conformer à ce qu’exige votre licence, vous consentez à ne pas révoquer ni tenter de faire invalider, de manière unilatérale, une licence que vous avez accordée en vertu des présentes Conditions d’utilisation concernant les contenus textuels ou non textuels que vous avez soumis aux éditions ou fonctionnalités des Projets, même si vous résiliez l’utilisation de nos services.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Contenu appartenant au domaine public :''' le contenu faisant partie du domaine public est bienvenu ! Il est important, cependant, que vous confirmiez le statut de domaine public du contenu conformément aux lois des États-Unis d’Amérique ainsi qu’aux lois de tout autre pays selon les exigences de l’édition spécifique du Projet. Lorsque vous soumettez un contenu faisant partie du domaine public, vous garantissez que les informations appartiennent effectivement au domaine public et consentez à signaler cette appartenance de manière adéquate.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Réutilisation :''' la réutilisation du contenu que nous hébergeons est bienvenue, bien que des exceptions existent pour le contenu contribué selon le droit américain de « ''fair use'' » ou bien des exceptions similaires relevant des lois sur le droit d’auteur. Toute réutilisation doit se conformer avec la ou les licences sous-jacentes.&lt;br /&gt;

Lorsque vous réutilisez ou redistribuez une page de texte développée par la communauté Wikimedia, vous acceptez d’en attribuer les auteurs d’une quelconque des façons suivantes :
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;par un hyperlien (si possible) ou une URL vers la page ou les pages que vous réutilisez (puisque chaque page comporte une page historique qui liste les contributeurs, auteurs et modificateurs) ;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;par un hyperlien (si possible) ou une URL vers une copie en ligne alternative et stable, qui est librement accessible et en conformité avec la licence et qui donne crédit aux auteurs d’une façon équivalente au crédit donné sur le site Internet du Projet ; ou&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;par une liste de tous les auteurs (mais veuillez noter que toute liste d’auteurs pourrait être filtrée pour exclure des contributions très petites ou inappropriées).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Si le texte a été importé d’une autre source, il est possible que le contenu soit placé sous une licence compatible CC BY-SA mais pas GFDL (tel que décrit dans « Importation de texte » ci-dessus). Dans ce cas, vous acceptez de vous conformer avec la licence compatible CC BY-SA et n’avez pas l’option de la placer également sous licence GFDL. Pour déterminer la licence qui s’applique au contenu que vous cherchez à réutiliser ou redistribuer, vous devriez consulter le pied de page, l’historique de la page et la page de discussion associée.

Par ailleurs, soyez conscient que du texte, dont l’origine remonte à des sources externes et qui a été importé dans un Projet, peut être placé sous une licence qui lui attache des obligations d’attribution supplémentaires. Les utilisateurs acceptent d’indiquer de façon claire ces obligations d’attributions supplémentaires. Selon le Projet, de telles obligations peuvent apparaître, par exemple, dans une bannière ou d’autre notations désignant que tout ou partie du contenu a été à l’origine publié ailleurs. Là où de telles notations sont visibles, les réutilisateurs devraient les préserver.

&lt;span id=&quot;8._Copyright_Compliance&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
== 8. Conformité à la DMCA américaine ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

La Fondation Wikimedia veut s’assurer que le contenu que nous hébergeons peut être réutilisé par d’autres utilisateurs sans craindre une responsabilité et que celui-ci n’enfreint pas les droits propriétaires d’autres tiers. Par équité avec nos utilisateurs, de même qu’envers les autres créateurs et détenteurs de droits d’auteurs, notre politique est de répondre aux avis d’infractions alléguées qui satisfont aux formalités américaines de la ''Digital Millennium Copyright Act'' (« DMCA »). Conformément à la DMCA, nous terminerons, dans des circonstances appropriées, les utilisateurs et les titulaires de comptes sur nos systèmes et réseaux qui ont enfreint les droits de tiers de façon répétée sur nos Projets et services.

Cependant, nous reconnaissons également que tous les avis de plainte ne sont pas valides ou de bonne foi. Le cas échéant, nous encourageons les utilisateurs à déposer des contre-notifications lorsqu’ils jugent qu’une plainte en vertu de la DMCA n’est pas valide ou est inopportune. Pour plus d’informations sur ce que vous devez faire si vous pensez qu’un avis DMCA a été émis de façon inappropriée, vous pouvez consulter le site Internet de la [//lumendatabase.org/ base de données ''Lumen''].

Si vous êtes le propriétaire d’un contenu qui a été improprement utilisé dans l’un des Projets sans votre permission, vous pouvez demander que le contenu soit retiré en émettant un avis en vertu de la DMCA. Pour en faire la demande, veuillez nous envoyer un courriel à {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} ou [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|envoyer un courrier postal à notre agent désigné]].

Par ailleurs, vous pouvez faire une demande auprès de notre communauté qui est souvent à même de traiter les problèmes de droits d’auteur plus rapidement et plus efficacement que selon le processus prévu par la DMCA. Dans pareil cas, vous pouvez afficher un avis expliquant vos problèmes de droit d’auteur. Pour obtenir une liste non exhaustive et ne faisant pas autorité des procédures pertinentes aux diverses éditions de Projets, [[:m:Copyright problems|visitez la page sur les Problèmes de droit d’auteur (''copyright'')]]. Avant de déposer une plainte DMCA, vous pouvez également envoyer à la communauté un courriel adressé à {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

{{anchor|9}}

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 9. Sites Internet et ressources provenant de tiers ==

Vous êtes seul responsable de votre utilisation de tous les sites Internet ou toutes les ressources en provenance de tiers. Bien que les Projets et les Sites Internet de Projets puissent contenir des liens vers des sites Internet et ressources de tiers, nous n’endossons pas et ne sommes pas tenus responsables de leur disponibilité ou de leur exactitude, ni de leurs contenus, produits ou services liés (y compris, sans limitation, tous virus ou tous autres dysfonctionnements qu’ils pourraient provoquer), de même que nous n’avons aucune obligation à surveiller de tels contenus tiers.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Gestion des Sites Internet ==

La communauté a le rôle le plus important dans la création et l’application des politiques afférentes aux diverses éditions de Projets. À la Fondation Wikimedia, nous intervenons rarement dans les décisions de la communauté en ce qui concerne les politiques et leur application.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Il est possible de nous informer d’un contenu illégal ou d’un contenu qui enfreint nos Conditions d’utilisation (y compris toutes les politiques et autres documents incorporés par référence) pour d’autres raisons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|en nous contactant directement]]. Cependant, vous pouvez généralement faire une demande directement auprès de notre communauté : cela peut être plus efficace et est plus cohérent avec l’objectif de nos Projets d’autonomiser la communauté des utilisateurs.
&lt;/div&gt;


Chaque Projet fournira généralement des pages « Aide » ou « Contact » pour obtenir un guidage et des conseils plus avancés ou des outils spécifiques pour signaler les problèmes. Autrement, en cas de doute, vous pouvez demander de l’aide aux membres de la communauté en envoyant un courriel adressé à {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} ou aux adresses plus spécifiques à une langue mentionnées sur la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|page de l’Équipe de réponse bénévole]]. Veuillez noter que ces boîtes à lettres sont surveillées et suivies par les utilisateurs des Projets et non par la Fondation. Elles ne doivent donc être l’objet d’aucune menace ou demande à caractère juridique.

Si vous contactez la Fondation au sujet d’un problème, nous examinerons généralement si et comment les mécanismes existants conduits par la communauté peuvent enquêter et, le cas échéant, résoudre le problème.

Exceptionnellement, il peut s’avérer nécessaire, ou bien la communauté peut nous demander, d’intervenir concernant un utilisateur ou contenu particulièrement problématique en raison d’une perturbation significative du Projet ou d’un comportement dangereux. Dans de tels cas, nous nous réservons le droit, à notre entière discrétion (ou lorsque la loi l’exige), de :

* enquêter sur votre usage des Projets ou de nos services afin de (a) déterminer s’il y a eu violation des présentes Conditions d’utilisation, de la politique d’une édition de Projet ou de toute autre loi ou politique, ou (b) nous conformer à toute loi ou procédure juridique applicable ou à une demande gouvernementale appropriée ;
* détecter, prévenir ou sinon traiter les problèmes de fraude, d’informations fausses ou invérifiables, de sécurité ou technique, ou bien répondre aux demandes d’assistance des utilisateurs ;
* refuser, annuler, désactiver ou restreindre l’accès aux contributions de tout utilisateur ayant enfreint les présentes Conditions d’utilisation ;
* interdire à un utilisateur de modifier ou de contribuer ou bloquer l’accès au compte d’un utilisateur, suite à des actes qui enfreignent les présentes Conditions d’utilisation, y compris publiant des matériels illégaux au regard de la loi applicable en accord avec les principes des droits humains ;
* engager une procédure judiciaire contre des utilisateurs ayant enfreint les présentes Conditions d’utilisation (y compris en les signalant aux autorités compétentes) ;
* gérer de toute autre manière les Sites Internet de Projets afin de faciliter leur bon fonctionnement et de protéger nos droits, nos biens et notre sécurité, ainsi que ceux de nos utilisateurs, concédants, partenaires et ceux du public.

Ces activités de modération de la Fondation peuvent être informées ou effectuées par un logiciel, tel que la protection contre les inondations de trafic (attaques par « déni de service »). Dans de tels cas, un examen par un être humain est disponible de manière normale, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|sur demande]].

Dans l’intérêt de nos utilisateurs et des Projets, dans le cas extrême où une personne aurait vu son compte ou son accès bloqué en vertu de la présente section, elle ne sera plus autorisée à créer ou à utiliser un autre compte, ni à chercher à accéder au même Projet, à moins que nous lui en fournissions l’autorisation expresse. Nonobstant l’autorité de la communauté, la Fondation Wikimedia elle-même n’interdira pas à un utilisateur de modifier ou de contribuer, ni ne bloquera le compte ou l’accès d’un utilisateur au seul motif d’une critique de bonne foi n’ayant pas entraîné d’actes enfreignant les présentes Conditions d’utilisation ou les politiques de la communauté.

La communauté Wikimedia et ses membres peuvent également agir lorsqu’ils y sont autorisés par la communauté ou les politiques de la Fondation applicables à l’édition de Projet spécifique, y compris mais pas exclusivement, en avertissant, enquêtant, bloquant ou interdisant les utilisateurs qui violent lesdites politiques. Vous consentez à respecter les décisions finales des organes de résolution des litiges qui sont établis par la communauté sur les éditions de Projets spécifiques (tels que les comités d’arbitrage). Ces décisions peuvent prévoir des sanctions tel qu’indiqué dans la politique afférente à l’édition de Projet spécifique.

Les utilisateurs particulièrement problématiques, qui ont eu des comptes ou leur accès bloqués sur plusieurs éditions de Projets peuvent être bannis de l’ensemble des éditions de Projets, conformément à [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Politique de bannissement global]]. Contrairement aux résolutions du Conseil ou à ces conditions d’utilisation, les politiques établies par la communauté, qui peuvent couvrir une unique édition de Projet ou plusieurs (comme la Politique de bannissement global), peuvent être modifiées par la communauté concernée conformément à ses propres procédures.

Le blocage d’un compte ou d’un accès ou l’interdiction d’un utilisateur, conformément à la présente disposition, doit se conformer à l’article 13 des présentes Conditions d'utilisation.

Si vous pensez que nous n’avons pas agi de manière satisfaisante suite à un signalement de contenu problématique, ou bien si vous avez fait l’objet d’une action de modération de la Fondation que vous souhaitez contester, vous pouvez éventuellement [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|déposer un appel]]. D’autres informations sur les voies de recours pourront également vous être expliquées à ce moment-là ou dans les pages d’aide  spécifiques au Projet.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Nous nous réservons le droit de suspendre (temporairement ou définitivement) notre traitement des signalements ou des autres correspondances provenant d’utilisateurs ou de tiers, que ce soit au sujet de contenus ou conduites prétendument illégaux ou problématiques, ou bien faisant appel contre des actions de modération, si ces correspondances ont été faites de mauvaise foi, de manière répétitive, infondée et/ou abusive. Dans des circonstances appropriées, votre adresse de courriel peut même être bloquée sur notre ou nos système(s) de messagerie et vous devrez alors nous contacter [https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/contact/ à notre adresse postale] si vous souhaitez continuer à nous contacter pendant ce blocage. Pour les cas moins graves (p. ex. jusqu’à trois courriels courtois concernant une ou plusieurs plaintes injustifiées), cela est probablement temporaire. Des communications plus fréquentes ou plus abusives sont davantage susceptibles d’entraîner des mesures permanentes.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;11._Resolutions_and_Project_Policies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 11. Résolutions et politiques des Projets ==

Le Conseil d’administration de la Fondation Wikimedia établit des [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|politiques officielles]], le cas échéant. Certaines de ces politiques sont obligatoires pour un Projet ou l’édition d’un Projet particulier et, dans ce cas, vous consentez à vous y conformer là où elles s’appliquent.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. Conditions relatives aux interfaces de programmation d’applications (''API'') ==

Nous rendons disponible un ensemble d’interfaces de programmation d’application (''API''), qui inclut de la documentation et des outils associés, afin de permettre aux utilisateurs de construire des produits qui promeuvent la connaissance libre. En utilisant nos API, vous convenez de vous conformer à toutes les politiques applicables régissant l’utilisation des API, ce qui inclut, mais sans s’y limiter, la [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Politique d’agent utilisateur]], la [[wikitech:Robot policy|Politique relative aux robots]] et [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Étiquette]] (collectivement, la « Documentation des API »), qui sont intégrés au sein des présentes Conditions d’utilisation par référence.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Résiliation ==

Bien que nous espérions que vous resterez et continuerez à contribuer aux Projets, vous pouvez décider d’arrêter d’utiliser nos services à tout moment. Dans certains cas (que nous espérons improbables), il peut s’avérer nécessaire pour nous, pour la communauté Wikimedia ou pour ses membres (tels que décrits à l’article 10) de résilier tout ou partie de nos services, de résilier les présentes Conditions d’utilisation, de bloquer votre compte ou votre accès, ou de vous interdire en tant qu’utilisateur. Si votre compte ou accès est bloqué ou résilié d’une autre manière, pour quelque raison que ce soit, vos contributions publiques (y compris toute correspondance que vous nous avez adressée) n’en seront pas affectées (conformément aux politiques applicables) et vous pourrez continuer à accéder à nos pages publiques dans le seul but de lire le contenu des Projets accessible au public. Dans de telles circonstances, cependant, vous ne pourrez pas accéder à votre compte ou à ses paramètres. Cependant, nonobstant toute autre disposition dans les présentes Conditions d’utilisation, nous nous réservons le droit de suspendre ou de mettre un terme aux services à tout moment, avec ou sans raison, avec ou sans préavis. Même une fois que votre utilisation ou participation ont été interdites, bloquées ou autrement suspendues, les présentes Conditions d’utilisation restent en vigueur eu égard aux dispositions pertinentes, y compris les articles 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 à 16 et 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Litiges et juridiction compétente&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Section mise en évidence à dessein''

Nous espérons qu’aucun désagrément sérieux ne se produira vous concernant mais, au cas où un litige surviendrait, nous vous encourageons à chercher à le résoudre par le biais des procédures ou des mécanismes de résolution de litiges fournis par les Projets ou éditions de Projets et par la Fondation Wikimedia. Si vous souhaitez déposer une plainte contre nous, vous consentez à la déposer exclusivement devant un tribunal d’État ou fédéral du Comté de San Francisco (Californie) et à en accepter le jugement. Vous consentez également à ce que les lois de Californie et, le cas échéant, les lois des États-Unis d’Amérique régissent les présentes Conditions d’utilisation, de même que tout litige d’ordre légal se produisant éventuellement entre vous et nous (nonobstant les principes sur les conflits de lois). Vous consentez à vous soumettre à la juridiction personnelle des tribunaux du Comté de San Francisco (Californie) dont vous reconnaissez l’autorité en ce qui concerne toute action ou procédure légale afférente à nous ou aux présentes Conditions d’utilisation.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Afin de garantir que les litiges soient traités dès qu’ils apparaissent, vous consentez, sauf stipulation contraire par tout statut ou loi, à ce que toute plainte ou motif d’action que vous pouvez avoir relativement à l’utilisation de nos services ou des présentes Conditions d’utilisation, soit enregistré dans le cadre des délais de prescription applicables ou, avant cela, un (1) an après que les faits ayant donné lieu à ladite plainte ou audit motif d’action aient été découverts moyennant une diligence raisonnable (sous peine d’être prescrits).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Comme décrit dans l’article 4 des présentes Conditions d’utilisation, vous acceptez de résoudre les violations portant sur les contributions rémunérées sans divulgation via une Médiation de société de marketing à la discrétion de la Fondation. Les Médiations de société de marketing sont des médiations '''contraignantes''' lors desquelles, à la fin d’une session soit d’une demi-journée, soit d’une journée complète, tout élément contesté restant non résolu est tranché par le médiateur au moyen d’une décision juridiquement contraignante. Elles seront menées lors de réunions par téléconférence ou vidéoconférence. Si une réunion en personne est requise, la Médiation de société de marketing aura lieu à San Francisco, en Californie. Les parties partageront à parts égales tous les frais et dépenses liés à la médiation ou à l’arbitrage.

Vous acceptez, dans le cadre d’une Médiation de société de marketing, de coopérer avec la Fondation, y compris en fournissant en temps opportun toute documentation en votre possession relative à vos activités de contribution payante non divulguées, y compris les comptes utilisés, les articles affectés et les clients qui ont acheté ces services.

Les Médiations de société de marketing sont soumises à la Loi fédérale américaine sur l’arbitrage, qui les régit, dans la mesure où le médiateur devient un arbitre. La partie ayant eu gain de cause aura le droit de recouvrer ses honoraires d’avocat (y compris tous les honoraires nécessaires pour déterminer l’applicabilité de la Médiation de société de marketing et pour en faire appliquer la conclusion contraignante) et tous les coûts liés à l’enquête et à l’application de ses droits. Une partie peut être considérée comme « ayant eu gain de cause » même si elle n’obtient pas effectivement gain de cause sur chacune de ses réclamations affirmées.

Si, pour une raison quelconque, l’intégralité de ces exigences de Médiation de société de marketing s’avère inapplicable, vous acceptez que tout litige soit tranché comme décrit au début de cette section.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;15. Avis de non-responsabilité&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

À la Fondation Wikimedia, nous nous efforçons de fournir un contenu éducatif et informatif à une très large audience mais votre utilisation de nos services reste à vos risques et périls. Nous fournissons ces services « tels quels » dans la mesure de leur « disponibilité » et nous dégageons expressément notre responsabilité en ce qui concerne toutes les garanties expresses ou implicites, y compris mais pas exclusivement, les garanties implicites de qualité marchande, d’adaptation à un usage particulier et de non-infraction. Nous ne garantissons aucunement que nos services remplissent vos exigences, sont sûrs, sécuritaires, non interrompus, rapides, précis ou sans erreurs, ou que vos informations seront à l’abri des risques.

Nous ne sommes pas responsables du contenu, des données ou des actes de tiers et vous nous dégagez de toute responsabilité, ainsi que nos directeurs, dirigeants, employés et agents, concernant les plaintes et dommages éventuels, connus ou non, découlant ou autrement liés à une plainte que vous pouvez avoir contre lesdits tiers. Aucun conseil et aucune information, que ceux-ci soient oraux ou écrits, obtenus par vous auprès de nous ou par le biais de nos services ne créent de garantie si celle-ci n’a pas été expressément stipulée dans les présentes Conditions d’utilisation.

Tout téléchargement de données, contenu ou autre élément ou sinon toute obtention d’un tel élément au moyen de votre utilisation de nos Services, ne se fera qu’à votre propre discrétion et à vos propres risques et vous serez le seul responsable pour tout dommage à votre système informatique ou pour toute perte de données qui résulterait de l’obtention d’un tel élément. Vous convenez que nous n’avons aucune responsabilité pour l’effacement ou l’échec du stockage ou de la transmission de tout contenu ou toute communication maintenue par le Service. Nous nous réservons le droit de créer des limites d’usage et de stockage à notre seule discrétion, en toute heure, avec ou sans avertissement préalable.

Certains États ou juridictions ne permettent pas les types de clauses d’avis de non-responsabilité stipulées dans le présent article. Il se peut donc que tout ou partie de celui-ci ne s’applique pas à votre cas en fonction de la loi.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. Limitation de responsabilité&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

La Fondation Wikimedia se sera pas tenue responsable envers vous ni envers toute autre partie pour tous dommages directs, indirects, incidents, spéciaux, consécutifs ou exemplaires, y compris mais sans s’y limiter, les dommages pour pertes de profits, d’image, de données ou autres pertes intangibles, quand bien même nous aurions été avisés de la possibilité de tels dommages. En aucun cas notre responsabilité ne devra excéder mille dollars américains (1 000,00 USD) pour la totalité. Au cas où la loi applicable n’autoriserait pas la limitation ou l’exclusion de responsabilité ou des dommages incidents ou consécutifs, la limitation ou l’exclusion pourrait ne pas s’appliquer à vous, bien que notre responsabilité sera limitée aussi pleinement que permis par la loi applicable.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|17}}
&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modifications des présentes Conditions d’utilisation ==

De même que l’apport de la communauté Wikimedia est essentiel à la croissance et à la maintenance des Projets, nous croyons que cet apport est essentiel pour que les présentes servent nos utilisateurs de manière adéquate. Il est également essentiel pour établir un contrat équitable. C’est pourquoi nous fournirons les présentes Conditions d’utilisation ainsi que toute future révision substantielle des présentes à la communauté, afin que celle-ci puisse les commenter, au moins trente (30) jours avant la fin de la période de commentaires. Si une future révision proposée est substantielle, nous fournirons 30 jours supplémentaires pour recueillir les commentaires après affichage de ladite révision traduite en au moins trois langues (sélectionnées à notre discrétion). La communauté sera encouragée à traduire ladite révision dans d’autres langues, le cas échéant. Concernant les modifications d’ordre juridique ou administratif, la correction d’une information erronée ou les changements effectués suite aux commentaires de la communauté, nous fournirons un préavis d’au minimum trois (3) jours.

Dans la mesure où il peut s’avérer nécessaire de modifier les présentes Conditions d’utilisation, le cas échéant, nous annoncerons lesdites modifications et la possibilité de les commenter par le biais des Sites Internet de Projets et par notification sur [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Cependant, nous vous demandons d’avoir l’obligeance de vérifier périodiquement les versions les plus récentes des présentes (disponibles sur $2). Le fait que vous continuiez à utiliser nos services après que les nouvelles Conditions d’utilisation sont devenues officielles suite à un préavis et à la période de vérification constitue acceptation de ces nouvelles Conditions d’utilisation de votre part. Afin de protéger la Fondation Wikimedia et les autres utilisateurs comme vous-même, si vous n’acceptez pas nos Conditions d'utilisation, vous n’êtes pas autorisé à utiliser nos services.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Autres conditions ==

Les présentes Conditions d’utilisation ne créent pas de relation d’emploi, d’agence, de partenariat, de contrôle croisé ou de coentreprise entre vous et nous, la Fondation Wikimedia. Aux fins de la législation de la Zone économique européenne, de celle du Royaume-Uni et de toute autre législation invoquant un concept similaire, vous n’agissez pas « sous l’autorité de » la Fondation lorsque vous utilisez les services. Si vous n’avez pas signé de contrat distinct avec nous, les présentes constituent l’intégralité du contrat nous liant à vous. En cas de conflit entre les présentes et un contrat écrit signé entre vous et nous, le contrat signé prévaudra.

Vous consentez à recevoir des avis de notre part, y compris les avis concernant les modifications aux présentes Conditions d’utilisation, par courriel, courrier postal ou affichages sur les sites Internet des Projets.

Le fait que nous n’appliquions pas ou ne faisions pas respecter une des dispositions des présentes Conditions d’utilisation ne signifie aucunement que nous renonçons à ladite disposition.

Vous comprenez que, sauf à ce que nous en ayons convenu autrement par écrit avec vous, vous ne pouvez prétendre à aucune rémunération au titre d’une quelconque activité, contribution ou idée que vous fournissez aussi bien à nous qu’à la communauté, aux Projets de Wikimedia ou aux éditions de Projets.

Nonobstant les dispositions des présentes Conditions d’Utilisation stipulant éventuellement le contraire, nous (la Fondation Wikimedia) et vous consentons à ne pas modifier les termes et exigences de toute licence libre employée dans les Projets ou dans les éditions de Projets, lorsque lesdites licences sont autorisées par les présentes.

Les présentes Conditions d’utilisation ont été rédigées en anglais (des États-Unis). Nous espérons que les traductions des présentes sont exactes, cependant, dans le cas de différences éventuelles entre le sens de la version originale en anglais et sa traduction, la version originale en anglais prévaudra.

Si une des dispositions des présentes s’avère en tout ou partie illégale, nulle ou inexécutable, ladite disposition ou la partie de la disposition concernée sera dissociable des présentes Conditions d’utilisation et sera exécutée dans toute la mesure permise, et toutes les autres dispositions des présentes resteront en vigueur et pleinement exécutoires.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Merci ! ==

Nous vous remercions d’avoir pris le temps de lire les présentes Conditions d’utilisation et sommes très heureux que vous contribuiez aux Projets et que vous utilisiez nos services. Grâce à vos contributions, vous aidez à bâtir quelque chose de réellement grand — non seulement une importante collection de Projets rédigés de manière collaborative qui contribue à l’éducation et à l’information de millions de personnes qui n’y auraient peut-être pas accès autrement, mais également une communauté vibrante de personnes partageant le même esprit et engagées dans une noble très cause.

'''''Immagina un mondo in cui ogni persona possa avere libero accesso all'intero patrimonio della conoscenza umana. Questo è il nostro scopo.''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|La nostra visione]]

Benvenuto su Wikimedia!
Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;noi&quot;) è un'organizzazione senza scopo di lucro la cui [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|missione]] è di fornire alle persone di ogni parte del mondo i mezzi per raccogliere e sviluppare contenuti con [[w:it:Contenuto libero|licenza libera]] o di pubblico dominio e di diffonderli globalmente in maniera efficace e gratuita.

Al fine di sostenere la nostra vivace comunità, forniamo l'infrastruttura essenziale e i presupposti organizzativi per lo sviluppo dei progetti wiki multilingue e delle loro edizioni (come spiegato [[:wmf:I nostri progetti|nella pagina apposita]]) e di altre iniziative necessarie alla missione.
Il nostro impegno è quello di rendere e mantenere disponibili su Internet, gratuitamente e in modo definitivo, i contenuti educativi e informativi dei progetti.

Ti diamo il benvenuto (&quot;tu&quot; o &quot;utente&quot;) come lettore o contributore dei progetti Wikimedia e ti invitiamo ad entrare nella nostra comunità, ma prima che tu inizi a partecipare è necessario che tu legga e accetti le seguenti condizioni d'uso (&quot;condizioni d'uso&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Le presenti condizioni d'uso illustrano i servizi offerti da Wikimedia Foundation, il nostro rapporto con te come utente e i diritti e le responsabilità che ci guidano entrambi.
Ospitiamo un'incredibile quantità di contenuti educativi e informativi, di cui disponiamo grazie a utenti come te. In genere noi non contribuiamo, monitoriamo o cancelliamo i contenuti (salvo rare eccezioni ad esempio i documenti legali come queste condizioni d'uso, per motivi di conformità legale o di fronte a minacce urgenti di danni gravi). Ciò significa che il controllo delle modifiche è nelle tue mani e in quelle degli altri utenti che creano o amministrano i contenuti.

La comunità, ovvero la rete di utenti che contribuiscono a costruire e utilizzano costantemente i vari progetti e/o i loro siti web (qui indicati come &quot;Siti web del progetto&quot;), è il mezzo principale tramite cui sono raggiunti gli obiettivi della missione.
La comunità contribuisce ai nostri progetti e siti e aiuta a gestirli.
La comunità svolge anche la funzione critica di creare e di far rispettare le norme specifiche per le varie edizioni dei progetti (come le varie edizioni linguistiche di Wikipedia o il progetto multilingue Wikimedia Commons).

Chiunque può aderire come contributore, redattore o autore, purché segua le politiche che regolano ciascuna edizione indipendente dei progetti, compreso il [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Codice di condotta universale]] (UCoC) che si applica a tutte le edizioni del Progetto. Fra tutti i progetti, quello principale è Wikipedia, ma Wikimedia Foundation ne ospita anche altri, ciascuno con obiettivi e metodi di lavoro diversi. Ogni edizione dei progetti può contare su un team di contributori, curatori o autori che collaborano alla creazione e alla gestione dei contenuti di quella edizione. Chiunque può unirsi a questi team e collaborare per migliorare questi progetti. Poiché ci impegniamo a rendere i contenuti liberamente accessibili al pubblico, i contenuti apportati sono resi disponibili con una licenza libera o rilasciati nel pubblico dominio.

Ti ricordiamo che sei legalmente responsabile di qualsiasi contributo, modifica e riutilizzo dei materiali di Wikimedia ai sensi delle leggi degli Stati Uniti d'America e di altre leggi vigenti (che possono includere le leggi in vigore nel paese di residenza o nel paese in cui i contenuti vengono visualizzati o modificati). Ciò significa che nel pubblicare contenuti occorre procedere con attenzione. Alla luce di tale responsabilità, abbiamo stabilito alcune regole su ciò che non è possibile fare. La maggior parte di queste regole ha lo scopo di tutelare te e gli altri utenti. Ti ricordiamo che i contenuti ospitati intendono fornire solamente informazioni di natura generale. Pertanto, se ti occorre un parere professionale per una domanda specifica (ad esempio di natura medica, legale o finanziaria), dovrai rivolgerti a un professionista. Le presenti condizioni d'uso includono altri importanti avvisi ed esclusioni di responsabilità importanti. Ti invitiamo a leggerle integralmente.

Per chiarezza, altre organizzazioni, ad esempio sedi e [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|associazioni locali di Wikimedia]], che potrebbero condividere la stessa missione, sono, ciò nondimeno, enti legalmente indipendenti e separati da Wikimedia Foundation e non rispondono in alcun modo del funzionamento del sito Web né dei suoi contenuti.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. I nostri servizi ==

Wikimedia Foundation si dedica ad incoraggiare la crescita, lo sviluppo e la distribuzione di contenuti multilingue liberi e ad ospitare i contenuti di tali progetti basati su wiki, rendendoli disponibili gratuitamente al pubblico. Il nostro ruolo è di ospitare alcuni dei più grandi progetti di consultazione mondiali, redatti su base collaborativa ed [//www.wikimedia.org elencati qui]. 
Tuttavia, operiamo solo come fornitore di servizi di hosting, mantenendo l'infrastruttura e la struttura organizzativa che consentono ai nostri utenti di costruire i progetti contribuendo e modificando i contenuti. Consentono inoltre ai nostri utenti di ampliare i progetti Wikimedia attraverso contributi e modifiche personali e di riutilizzarne i contenuti. L'infrastruttura che gestiamo comprende l'infrastruttura tecnologica specializzata che consente agli utenti di interagire con i contenuti dei progetti e di riutilizzarli (denominata &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; o &quot;API&quot;), nonché le applicazioni mobili.

Come indicato nel resto delle condizioni d'uso, i nostri servizi consistono nei [//www.wikimedia.org siti web dei progetti che ospitiamo], nell'infrastruttura tecnologica che manteniamo e qualsiasi spazio tecnico che ospitiamo per la manutenzione e il miglioramento dei nostri progetti.

A causa del nostro ruolo unico, ci sono un paio di cose di cui dovresti essere a conoscenza quando consideri il nostro rapporto con te, i progetti e gli altri utenti:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Non assumiamo un ruolo editoriale.''' Poiché i progetti Wikimedia sono redatti collaborativamente, la maggioranza dei contenuti che ospitiamo sono forniti da utenti come te e noi non assumiamo un ruolo editoriale. Questo significa che generalmente non monitoriamo o modifichiamo il contenuto dei siti e che non ci assumiamo alcuna responsabilità di questi contenuti. Allo stesso modo, a meno che non sia stato espressamente dichiarato, non appoggiamo le opinioni espresse tramite i nostri servizi e non rappresentiamo o garantiamo la veridicità, l'accuratezza o l'affidabilità dei contenuti prodotti dalla community nei progetti.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Sei responsabile delle tue azioni''' Ogni utente è legalmente responsabile delle modifiche e dei contributi apportati ai Progetti Wikimedia, del riutilizzo dei contenuti dei progetti, dell'uso delle API e dell'uso dei nostri servizi in generale. Per la sua tutela, l'utente è tenuto ad agire con attenzione e a evitare di intraprendere azioni che potrebbero comportare responsabilità penali o civili ai sensi delle leggi vigenti. Per chiarezza, con &quot;leggi vigenti&quot; si intendono come minimo le leggi degli Stati Uniti d'America e dello Stato della California. Per quanto riguarda gli altri paesi, ciò viene stabilito caso per caso. Anche se non siamo d'accordo con tali azioni, avvertiamo gli utenti - in particolare i redattori, i collaboratori e gli autori - che le autorità non statunitensi potrebbero cercare di applicare all'utente le leggi di altri paesi, comprese quelle in vigore nel luogo di residenza o in cui visualizza o modifica i contenuti. In genere non possiamo offrire alcuna protezione, garanzia, immunità o indennizzo contro l'applicazione di tali leggi.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Regolamento sulla privacy ==

Ti chiediamo di consultare le condizioni del nostro [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|regolamento sulla privacy]], così che tu sia consapevole di come raccogliamo e trattiamo i tuoi dati personali.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. I contenuti che ospitiamo ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Potresti trovare dei contenuti discutibili o errati.''' Poiché Wikimedia Foundation ospita un'ampia gamma di contenuti prodotti o raccolti da altri utenti, è possibile trovare materiali che potresti ritenere offensivi, errati, fuorvianti, erroneamente classificati o comunque discutibili. Ti chiediamo pertanto di usare il buon senso e il giusto giudizio quando utilizzi i nostri servizi.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''I contenuti dei progetti hanno finalità esclusivamente divulgative.''' Sebbene i progetti contengano un considerevole quantitativo di informazioni relative ad argomenti professionali, tra cui la medicina, il diritto o la finanza, tali contenuti hanno finalità esclusivamente divulgative e non vanno intesi come pareri professionali. Per una consulenza professionale indipendente è necessario rivolgersi a soggetti autorizzati o competenti nell'ambito interessato e non basarsi su informazioni, opinioni o consigli contenuti in uno dei siti web dei progetti.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Astenersi da certe attività ==

I progetti ospitati da Wikimedia Foundation esistono solo grazie alla vivace comunità di utenti che collaborano alla stesura, modifica e cura dei contenuti. Siamo lieti di accogliere la partecipazione di tutti a questa comunità. Wikimedia Foundation incoraggia gli utenti a interagire in modo civile ed educato con gli altri membri della comunità, ad agire in buona fede e ad apportare modifiche e fornire contributi volti a promuovere la missione del progetto condiviso. Chiediamo a tutti gli utenti di prendere visione e di attenersi al [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Codice universale di condotta]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), che stabilisce i requisiti per una collaborazione collegiale e civile in tutti i progetti che ospitiamo.

Alcune attività, consentite o vietate dalla legge, possono danneggiare altri utenti e violare le nostre regole, inoltre, possono esporre l'utente a responsabilità. Pertanto, per la tua tutela e quella di altri utenti, tali attività sono proibite nei nostri progetti. Tali attività includono:

: '''Molestare e maltrattare altre persone:'''
::* dedicarsi a minacce, allo stalking, alla diffusione di contenuti promozionali o ai vandalismi e alle molestie così come definite nel Codice Universale di Condotta; 
::* trasmettere e-mail a catena, e-mail spazzatura o e-mail indesiderate ad altri utenti;
::* inserire o modificare contenuti con l'intento di danneggiare seriamente altre persone, come inviti all'autolesionismo o contenuti che deliberatamente provocano attacchi epilettici.
: '''Violare la privacy di altre persone:'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* violare i diritti alla riservatezza di altre persone in base alle leggi degli Stati uniti d'America o alle altre leggi applicabili (che possono includere le leggi del paese in cui vivi o in cui visualizzi o modifichi i contenuti);
::* richiedere dati personali per fini di molestie, sfruttamento, violazione della privacy, o per qualsiasi fine promozionale o commerciale non esplicitamente approvato dalla Wikimedia Foundation;
::* richiedere dati personali da chiunque abbia un'età sotto i 18 anni o non abbia raggiunto la maggiore età laddove sia maggiore di 18 per un fine illegale o per violare qualsiasi legge applicabile riguardante la salute o il benessere dei minori.
&lt;/div&gt;
: '''Dedicarsi a dichiarazioni false, sostituzione di persona o frode:'''
::* pubblicare intenzionalmente o consapevolmente contenuti che costituiscono calunnia o diffamazione per la legge degli Stati Uniti;
::* pubblicare o modificare contenuti con l'intento di ingannare o fuorviare gli altri;
::* tentare di sostituirsi ad utenti o individui, omettere o falsificare la tua affiliazione con un qualunque individuo o entità quando la dichiarazione del rapporto è richiesta dalle presenti condizioni d'uso o dalle regole del singolo progetto, o usare il nome utente di un altro utente con l'intento di ingannare;
::* dedicarsi alla frode.
: '''Commettere violazioni dei diritti di proprietà intellettuale'''
::* violare diritti d'autore, marchi commerciali, brevetti o altri diritti proprietari in base alle leggi applicabili.
:'''Abusare dei nostri servizi per altri fini illegali:'''
::*Pubblicare materiale pedopornografico o qualsiasi altro contenuto che violi le leggi vigenti in materia di pornografia infantile o di abusi sessuali su minori, o incoraggiare, istruire o sostenere altri a creare o condividere tale materiale;
::*Pubblicazione o scambio di materiali osceni e illegali ai sensi delle leggi vigenti; e
::*Utilizzo dei servizi in modalità che costituiscono una violazione delle leggi vigenti.
:'''Uso improprio e illegale delle risorse:'''
::*Pubblicazione o distribuzione di contenuti con virus, malware, worm, trojan, codici dannosi o altri dispositivi in grado di danneggiare i nostri sistemi e la nostra infrastruttura tecnica o quella dei nostri utenti;
::*Uso automatizzato dei siti web dei progetti che siano abusivi o che disturbino i servizi, che violino le politiche d'uso accettabili, ove disponibili, o che non siano stati approvati dalla comunità di Wikimedia.
::*Creare disturbo ai servizi imponendo un onere eccessivo a un'API, a un sito web del progetto o alle reti o ai server collegati a un determinato sito web del progetto:
::* Interrompere i servizi inondando uno qualsiasi dei siti dei progetti con comunicazioni o altro traffico che suggerisce una mancanza di reale intento di utilizzare il sito del progetto per lo scopo dichiarato;
::* Accedere consapevolmente, manomettere o utilizzare qualsiasi area non pubblica dei nostri sistemi informatici senza autorizzazione; e
::* Sondare, scansionare o testare la vulnerabilità di uno qualsiasi dei nostri sistemi tecnici o reti a meno che tutte le seguenti condizioni siano soddisfatte:
:::* tali azioni non costituiscono un uso scorretto dei sistemi tecnici o delle reti di Wikimedia Foundation né interrompono il funzionamento di tali reti e sistemi;
:::* tali azioni non sono finalizzate a ottenere vantaggi personali (ad eccezione del riconoscimento per il lavoro svolto);
:::* eventuali vulnerabilità vengono segnalate agli sviluppatori (o corrette direttamente); e
:::* tali azioni sono effettuate senza intenti nocivi o distruttivi.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Contributi retribuiti e non dichiarati'''

::Devi dichiarare il tuo datore di lavoro, il cliente e l'affiliazione in relazione a qualsiasi contributo per cui hai ricevuto o prevedi di ricevere un compenso. La comunicazione deve avvenire almeno in uno dei modi seguenti:
::*una dichiarazione sulla tua pagina utente,
::*una dichiarazione sulla pagina di discussione relativa ai contributi retribuiti, o
::*una dichiarazione nel campo oggetto delle modifiche legate ai contributi retribuiti.
::* Inoltre, se pubblichi un annuncio al di fuori dei progetti offrendo servizi di modifica su Wikipedia in cambio di un compenso di qualsiasi tipo, devi dichiarare tutti gli account Wikipedia che hai utilizzato o utilizzerai per questo servizio nell'annuncio pubblico sul servizio di terze parti.
::La legge vigente o le politiche e linee guida del progetto specifico e di Wikimedia Foundation, come quelle relative ai conflitti di interesse, potrebbero ulteriormente limitare i contributi retribuiti o richiedere una loro dichiarazione più dettagliata. Per esempio una violazione dei marchi Wikimedia (definiti in seguito nella sezione 6) per promuovere la creazione di contenuti a pagamento, la rimozione della dichiarazione di contributi su commissione o la contribuzione su commissione effettuata in forma anonima in modo da rendere impossibile l'esplicitazione del contributo retribuito violano questa sezione.
::* Una comunità di un progetto Wikimedia può adottare una politica alternativa di dichiarazione delle contribuzioni retribuite che può integrare o sostituire questa sezione. Se un progetto adotta una politica alternativa di dichiarazione, puoi conformarti a tale politica invece dei requisiti contenuti in questa sezione (intitolata &quot;Contributi Retribuiti Senza Dichiarazione&quot;) quando contribuisci a quel particolare progetto.

::Per maggiori informazioni si prega di leggere le nostre [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ sulla dichiarazione dei contributi retribuiti]].


La contribuzione su commissione non dichiarata da parte di utenti che ricevono compensi crea un onere irragionevole per i volontari [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|che indagano e fanno rispettare le politiche della comunità]]. Pertanto, per le violazioni di questa sezione relative a modifiche a pagamento non dichiarate, l'utente accetta di sottoporsi a una &quot;Med-Arb&quot; vincolante (una &quot;Mediazione con aziende di marketing&quot;) come descritto nella sezione 14 delle presenti condizioni d'uso.

Ci riserviamo il diritto di esercitare la nostra discrezionalità nell'applicazione delle disposizioni di cui alla sezione 4 delle presenti condizioni d'uso. Se necessario, l'applicazione di questi termini può includere azioni non elencate nella [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|politica sulle azioni d'ufficio]] di Wikimedia Foundation. Se l'applicazione è richiesta in circostanze nuove, ci impegneremo entro un (1) anno al massimo ad aggiornare la politica sulle azioni d'ufficio per conprendere il nuovo tipo di azione.

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 5. Sicurezza della password ==

Sei responsabile della salvaguardia della tua password e delle altre credenziali di sicurezza e non dovresti mai rivelarle a nessuna parte terza.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 6. Marchi ==

Sebbene tu abbia una notevole libertà nel riutilizzo dei contenuti dei siti web dei progetti, è importante che Wikimedia Foundation protegga i propri diritti in materia di marchi per potere, a sua volta, proteggere gli utenti dalla sostituzione di persona. Per questo motivo chiediamo agli utenti di rispettare i nostri marchi. Tutti i marchi di Wikimedia Foundation appartengono a Wikimedia Foundation e qualsiasi utilizzo di tali nomi commerciali, marchi, marchi di servizio, logotipi o nomi di dominio deve essere conforme alle presenti condizioni d'uso e alla [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|politica relativa ai marchi]] di Wikimedia Foundation.

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Licenze dei contenuti ==

Per far crescere i beni comuni della libera conoscenza e della libera cultura, tutti gli utenti che contribuiscono ai progetti o ai siti web dei progetti sono tenuti a concedere ampi permessi al pubblico per ridistribuire e riutilizzare liberamente i loro contributi, a condizione che l'uso sia adeguatamente attribuito e che la stessa libertà di riutilizzo e ridistribuzione sia concessa a qualsiasi opera derivata. In linea con il nostro obiettivo di fornire contenuti gratuiti al più ampio pubblico possibile, richiediamo che, se necessario, tutti i contenuti inviati siano concessi con una licenza che ne permetta il libero riutilizzo da chiunque possa accedervi.

Accetti i seguenti requisiti di licenza:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Testo del quale detieni i diritti d'autore:''' quando pubblichi un testo di cui detieni i diritti d'autore, accetti di concederne l'uso in base alle seguenti licenze:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribuzione – Condividi allo stesso modo 4.0 International] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;) e
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (tutte le versioni, senza sezioni modificabili, testi di copertina o testi di retrocopertina).

I riutilizzatori possono ottemperare a una delle licenze o a entrambe.&lt;br /&gt;
L'unica eccezione si ha nel caso in cui l'edizione o la caratteristica del progetto richiedono una licenza diversa. In tal caso l'utente accetta di concedere in licenza tutto il testo del proprio contributo ai sensi della licenza prescritta da quel progetto.

Nota che queste licenze permettono senz'altro usi commerciali dei tuoi contributi, se tali usi sono conformi alle condizioni previste dalle licenze. Se possiedi i diritti sui generis di un database allora rinunci a tali diritti. Ad esempio, ciò significa che ciò che apporti ai progetti può essere riutilizzato liberamente senza attribuzione.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Attribuzione.''' L'attribuzione è una parte importante di queste licenze. La consideriamo dare il riconoscimento dove questo è dovuto – ad autori come te. Quando scrivi dei testi, accetti che ti siano attribuiti in uno qualsiasi dei seguenti modi:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;un collegamento ipertestuale (ove possibile) o un URL alla voce o alle voci che stai riutilizzando (poiché ogni voce ha una pagina della cronologia che elenca tutti gli autori);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;attraverso un collegamento ipertestuale (dove possibile) o URL a un'altra copia in linea stabile che sia liberamente accessibile, che rispetti la licenza e che offra il riconoscimento agli autori in una maniera equivalente all'attribuzione data sul sito del progetto; o&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;attraverso una lista di tutti gli autori (nota però che qualsiasi lista di autori potrebbe essere filtrata per escludere contributi molto piccoli o irrilevanti).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importazione di testo:''' puoi importare testo disponibile altrove o scritto in collaborazione con altri. In tal caso, tuttavia, tu dichiari e garantisci che il testo è disponibile conformemente a quanto disposto dalla licenza CC BY-SA (o, come precedentemente indicato, altra licenza, ove richiesto in via eccezionale dall'edizione o dalla caratteristica del progetto). Trovi la lista delle licenze compatibili qui: [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. I contenuti disponibili solo ai sensi della licenza GFDL non sono permessi.&lt;br /&gt;

Accetti che, se importi testi in base a una licenza CC che richiede l'attribuzione, devi riconoscere l'autore (gli autori) in maniera ragionevole. Dove tale riconoscimento è dato comunemente attraverso le cronologie delle pagine (come la copia interna a Wikimedia), è sufficiente dare il riconoscimento nel sommario delle modifiche, che è registrato nella cronologia della pagina, quando si importa il testo. I requisiti di attribuzione a volte sono troppo invasivi per particolari circostanze (indipendentemente dalla licenza), e possono esserci casi in cui la comunità di Wikimedia decide che i testi importati non possono essere utilizzati per quella ragione.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Contenuti multimediali non testuali:''' I contenuti multimediali non testuali dei progetti sono disponibili ai sensi di diversi tipi di licenza che sostengono l'obiettivo generale di consentire un riutilizzo e una redistribuzione senza limiti. Quando il contributo consiste in contenuti multimediali non testuali, l'utente accetta di soddisfare i requisiti di tali licenze, descritti nella nostra [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Politica in materia di licenze]], nonché i requisiti dell'edizione o della caratteristica del progetto a cui è destinato il contributo. Per maggiori informazioni sui contributi sotto forma di contenuti multimediali non testuali, vedere anche [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|la politica di Wikimedia Commons in materia di licenze]].&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nessuna revoca di licenza:''' Salvo se previsto dalla tua licenza, ti impegni a non revocare unilateralmente e a non cercare di annullare alcuna licenza concessa ai sensi delle presenti condizioni d'uso di contenuti testuali e contenuti multimediali non testuali forniti come contributi ai progetti Wikimedia, anche nel caso in cui tu cessassi di utilizzare i nostri servizi.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Contenuti di pubblico dominio:''' I contenuti di pubblico dominio sono molto bene accetti. Tuttavia è importante che tu confermi che tali contenuti sono di pubblico dominio ai sensi delle leggi degli Stati Uniti d'America e di ogni altro paese richiesto dalla specifica edizione del Progetto. Quando il contributo avviene mediante contenuti di pubblico dominio, tu garantisci che il materiale sia effettivamente di pubblico dominio e accetti di contrassegnarlo correttamente.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Riutilizzo:''' Il riutilizzo del contenuto che ospitiamo è benvenuto, benché esistano eccezioni per il contenuto offerto in base al &quot;fair use&quot; o eccezioni simili in base alla legge sul diritto d'autore. Qualsiasi riutilizzo deve rispettare la o le relative licenze.&lt;br /&gt;

Quando riutilizzi o ridistribuisci una pagina di testo sviluppata dalla comunità di Wikimedia, accetti di attribuirla agli autori in uno qualsiasi dei seguenti modi:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;attraverso il collegamento ipertestuale (dove possibile) o l'URL alla pagina o alle pagine che stai riutilizzando (poiché ogni pagina ha una pagina di cronologia che elenca tutti gli autori e i redattori);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;attraverso il collegamento ipertestuale (dove possibile) o l'URL a una copia in linea alternativa e stabile che sia liberamente accessibile, che rispetti la licenza e che offra il riconoscimento agli autori in una maniera equivalente al riconoscimento dato sul sito del progetto; o&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;attraverso una lista di tutti gli autori (ma nota per favore che qualsiasi lista di autori può essere filtrata per escludere contributi molto piccoli o irrilevanti).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Se il contenuto testuale è stato importato da un'altra fonte, è possibile che il contenuto sia autorizzato in base a una licenza compatibile CC BY-SA ma non GFDL (come descritto sopra in &quot;Importare testo&quot;). In quel caso, accetti di ottemperare alla licenza compatibile CC BY-SA e non hai l'opzione di riautorizzarlo in base alla GFDL. Per determinare la licenza che si applica al contenuto che cerchi di riutilizzare o ridistribuire, dovresti consultare il piè di pagina, la cronologia della pagina e la pagina di discussione relativa.

Inoltre, sii consapevole che il testo che ha avuto origine da fonti esterne ed è stato importato in un progetto può essere sotto una licenza che comprende requisiti di attribuzione aggiuntivi. Gli utenti accettano di indicare in modo chiaro questi requisiti di attribuzione aggiuntivi. A seconda del progetto, tali requisiti possono apparire per esempio in un banner o altre notazioni che evidenziano che una parte o tutto il contenuto è stato originariamente pubblicato altrove. Dove ci sono tali notazioni visibili, i riutilizzatori dovrebbero preservarle.

Per tutti i documenti multimediali non testuali, accetti di ottemperare con la licenza con cui l'opera è stata resa disponibile (che può essere individuata cliccando sull'opera e guardando la sezione delle licenze sulla sua pagina di descrizione o consultando la pagina della fonte relativa all'opera). Quando riutilizzi qualunque contenuto che ospitiamo, accetti di ottemperare ai requisiti di attribuzione appropriati, come descritti dalla licenza o dalle licenze sottostanti.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modifiche o aggiunte ai materiali riutilizzati:''' Nel modificare o apportare aggiunte al testo tratto da un sito web dei progetti, accetti di concedere in licenza i contenuti modificati o aggiuntivi ai sensi di una licenza CC BY-SA 4.0 o versioni successive (oppure, come sopra illustrato, un'altra licenza, se richiesto in via eccezionale dalla specifica edizione o caratteristica del progetto).&lt;br /&gt;

Quando modifichi o fai aggiunte a un qualunque documento multimediale non testuale che hai ottenuto dal sito di un progetto, accetti di autorizzare l'uso del contenuto modificato o aggiunto in accordo con qualsiasi licenza in base alla quale l'opera sia stata resa disponibile.&lt;br /&gt;

Sia nel caso di contenuti testuali che nel caso di contenuti multimediali non testuali, ti impegni a indicare chiaramente che l'opera originale è stata modificata. Se riutilizzi contenuti testuali all'interno di un wiki, è sufficiente indicare nella cronologia della pagina l'avvenuta modifica del testo importato e l'autore della stessa. Per ciascun testo o ciascuna versione modificata distribuita, ti impegni a includere una notifica di licenza nella quale indichi la licenza in base alla quale l'opera viene pubblicata e fornire un collegamento ipertestuale o un URL verso il testo della licenza o una copia della licenza stessa.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation vuole assicurarsi che il contenuto che ospitiamo possa essere riutilizzato da altri utenti senza timore di responsabilità e che i diritti proprietari di altri non siano violati. Per correttezza verso i nostri utenti, come pure verso gli altri creatori e detentori di diritti d'autore, la nostra politica è di rispondere agli avvisi di presunta violazione che ottemperano alle formalità della Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) degli Stati Uniti d'America. In conformità alla DMCA, termineremo, nelle circostanze appropriate, gli utenti e i titolari di account del nostro sistema e della nostra rete che abbiano violato in maniera ripetuta i diritti altrui sui nostri siti e progetti.

Wikimedia Foundation è tuttavia consapevole che non tutte le richieste di cancellazione dei contenuti sono valide o presentate in buona fede. In questi casi, si consiglia vivamente agli utenti di presentare contronotifiche qualora ritengano che una richiesta di cancellazione dei contenuti presentata ai sensi del DMCA sia nulla o errata. Per maggiori informazioni sulle azioni possibili qualora si ritenga che una notifica di cancellazione dei contenuti presentata ai sensi del DMCA sia stata presentata erroneamente è possibile consultare il sito web [$ Lumen Database].

Se sei il proprietario di contenuti utilizzati scorrettamente e senza autorizzazione in uno dei progetti puoi richiedere la rimozione di tali contenuti ai sensi del DMCA. Per presentare tale richiesta è sufficiente inviarla all'indirizzo e-mail {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} o all'agente designato di Wikimedia Foundation a [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|questo recapito postale]].

Alternativamente, puoi fare una richiesta alla nostra comunità, che spesso si occupa di questioni dei diritti d'autore più velocemente e più efficacemente di quanto prescritto in base alla DMCA. In quel caso, puoi pubblicare un avviso spiegando le tue osservazioni sui diritti d'autore. Per una lista non esaustiva e non ufficiale dei processi rilevanti per le diverse edizioni dei progetti, visita [[:m:Copyright problems|la pagina dedicata ai problemi di copyright]]. Prima di presentare un reclamo DMCA, hai anche l'opzione di mandare un'email alla comunità a {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

Sebbene il progetto e i siti dei progetti contengano collegamenti a siti Internet o risorse di terze parti, noi non approviamo e non siamo responsabili della loro disponibilità, accuratezza o dei relativi contenuti, prodotti o servizi (inclusi, senza limitazione, qualsiasi virus o altra funzione disabilitante), né abbiamo alcun obbligo di monitorare tali contenuti di terze parti.

Tuttavia, in genere è possibile inoltrare una richiesta direttamente alla comunità del progetto: ciò può essere più efficiente ed è più coerente con l'obiettivo dei nostri progetti di responsabilizzare la comunità degli utenti.
&lt;/div&gt;


Ogni progetto di solito fornisce pagine di &quot;Aiuto&quot; o &quot;Contatto&quot; per ulteriori indicazioni o strumenti specifici per la segnalazione di problemi. In alternativa, in caso di dubbio, è possibile chiedere aiuto ai membri della comunità, inviando un'email a {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} o a un indirizzo più specifico per la lingua dalla pagina del [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]]. Si noti che queste caselle di posta elettronica sono monitorate dagli utenti dei progetti, non da Wikimedia Foundation. Di conseguenza, non devono essere inviate richieste legali o minacce di azioni legali.

Se contatti Wikimedia Foundation per un problema, in genere valuteremo se e come i meccanismi esistenti a livello di comunità possano indagare e, se del caso, risolvere il problema.

In casi insoliti, potrebbe sorgere la necessità, o la comunità potrebbe chiederci, di affrontare un utente particolarmente problematico o un contenuto particolarmente problematico a causa di una significativa turbativa del progetto o di un comportamento pericoloso. In tali casi, ci riserviamo il diritto, a nostra esclusiva discrezione (o se obbligati per legge), di:

* indagare sul tuo utilizzo dei progetti o dei nostri servizi (a) per determinare se si è verificata una violazione di queste condizioni d'uso, della politica di un'edizione di un progetto, o di un'altra legge o politica applicabile, o (b) ottemperare a qualunque legge applicabile, processo legale, o richiesta governativa appropriata;
* individuare, prevenire, o altrimenti affrontare questioni di frode, di contenuti falsi o non verificabili, di sicurezza o questioni tecniche o rispondere alle richieste di supporto degli utenti;
* rifiutare, annullare, disabilitare o limitare l'accesso ai contributi di qualsiasi utente che violi queste condizioni d'uso;
*  bandire un utente dalle modifiche o bloccare l'account o l'accesso di un utente per azioni che violino queste condizioni d'uso, compresa la pubblicazione ripetuta di materiale illegale ai sensi della legge applicabile relativa ai principi dei diritti umani;
* intraprendere azioni legali contro gli utenti che violino queste condizioni d'uso (compresa la denuncia alle autorità di polizia); e
* intervenire altrimenti sui siti internet dei progetti in una maniera volta a facilitare il loro corretto funzionamento e a proteggere i diritti, la proprietà e la sicurezza nostra e dei nostri utenti, licenziatari, partner e del pubblico.

Queste attività di moderazione da parte di Wikimedia Foundation possono essere effettuate tramite software (come strumenti di pretezione da diniego del servizio (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;)). In questi casi è normalmente disponibile una supervisione umana [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|su richiesta]].

Nell'interesse dei nostri utenti e dei progetti, nell'estrema circostanza in cui un soggetto abbia subito il blocco dell'account o dell'accesso ai sensi della presente disposizione, gli è fatto divieto di creare o utilizzare un altro account o cercare di accedere allo stesso progetto, salvo autorizzazione esplicita di Wikimedia Foundation. Senza in alcun modo limitare l'autorità della comunità, Wikimedia Foundation non impedirà a un utente di modificare o contribuire ai contenuti né bloccherà l'account o l'accesso di un utente unicamente sulla base di critiche mosse in buona fede che non costituiscono azioni contrarie alle presenti condizioni d'uso o alle politiche della comunità.

La comunità Wikimedia e i relativi membri dispongono inoltre della facoltà di intervenire, se consentito dalle politiche della comunità o della Foundation applicabili alla specifica edizione dei progetti, mediante, a titolo esemplificativo e non limitativo, avvertimento, investigazione, blocco o esclusione degli utenti che violano tali politiche. Accetti di attenersi alle decisioni finali pronunciate dagli organi preposti alla risoluzione di controversie, costituiti dalla comunità per le specifiche edizioni dei progetti (ad esempio le commissioni arbitrali). Tali decisioni possono includere sanzioni previste dalla politica della specifica edizione dei progetti.

Gli utenti particolarmente problematici che hanno subito il blocco dell'account o dell'accesso in più edizioni dei progetti, sono passibili di esclusione da tutte le edizioni dei progetti, conformemente a quanto previsto dalla [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Politica di esclusione globale]]. Contrariamente alle delibere del Board of Trustees o alle presenti condizioni d'uso, le politiche stabilite dalla comunità, che possono riguardare sia un'unica edizione dei progetti sia più edizioni (ad esempio la Politica di esclusione globale), possono essere modificate dalla comunità interessata seguendo le proprie procedure.

Il blocco dell'account o dell'accesso, o il bando di un utente in base a questa clausola, dovrà avvenire in accordo con la Sezione 13 di queste condizioni d'uso.

Se ritieni che non abbiamo agito in modo soddisfacente su una segnalazione di contenuto problematico, o se sei stato sottoposto a un'azione di moderazione della Wikimedia Foundation che desideri contestare, puoi [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|presentare un ricorso]].  Altre informazioni sulle vie di ricorso possono essere spiegate al momento o nelle pagine di aiuto specifiche del progetto.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ci riserviamo il diritto di sospendere (temporaneamente o permanentemente) la gestione di segnalazioni o di altra corrispondenza da parte di utenti o di terzi, che riguardino contenuti o comportamenti presumibilmente illegali o comunque problematici, o che richiedano ricorsi contro azioni di moderazione, se tale corrispondenza è stata fatta in malafede, è ripetitiva, è infondata e/o abusiva. In determinate circostanze, l'indirizzo e-mail dell'utente potrebbe anche essere bloccato dai nostri sistemi di posta elettronica e l'utente dovrà quindi contattarci [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|al nostro indirizzo postale]] se desidera continuare a corrispondere con noi durante tale blocco. Per i casi meno gravi (ad esempio, fino a tre email di cortesia relative a uno o più reclami privi di fondamento), si ricorrerà probabilmente di un blocco temporaneo. Comunicazioni più frequenti o più abusive hanno maggiori probabilità di portare a misure permanenti.

&lt;span id=&quot;11._Resolutions_and_Project_Policies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 11. Risoluzioni e politiche dei progetti==

Il Board of Trustees della Wikimedia Foundation pubblica di tanto in tanto [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|politiche ufficiali]]. Alcune di queste politiche possono essere obbligatorie per un particolare progetto o edizione di un progetto e, quando lo sono, accetti di rispettarle laddove applicabili.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. Termini delle API ==

Mettiamo a disposizione una serie di API, che includono la documentazione e gli strumenti associati, per consentire agli utenti di costruire prodotti che promuovono la conoscenza libera. Utilizzando le nostre API, accetti di rispettare tutte le politiche applicabili che regolano l'uso delle API, tra cui, a titolo esemplificativo e non esaustivo, la [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], la [[wikitech:Robot policy|Politica dei robot]] e la [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collettivamente, &quot;Documentazione API&quot;), che sono incorporate nelle presenti condizioni d'uso per riferimento.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Interruzione ==

Sebbene Wikimedia Foundation si auguri che tu continui la tua collaborazione contribuendo ai progetti, puoi cessare in qualsiasi momento di servirti dei servizi offerti da Wikimedia Foundation. In alcune (si spera improbabili) circostanze, Wikimedia Foundation, la comunità Wikimedia o i relativi membri (come descritto nella Sezione 10) potrebbero ritenere necessario interrompere una parte o la totalità dei servizi, risolvere le presenti condizioni d'uso, bloccare il tuo account o il tuo accesso o escluderti come utente. Se il tuo account o il tuo accesso vengono bloccati o in altro modo terminati, i tuoi contributi pubblici, il registro delle tue attività nei progetti (compresa la corrispondenza che hai inviato) rimarranno  disponibili (fatte salve le politiche applicabili) e, salvo diversa notifica da Wikimedia Foundation, manterrai la facoltà di accedere alle pagine pubbliche di Wikimedia Foundation al solo scopo di leggere i contenuti pubblicamente disponibili dei progetti. In tali circostanze, tuttavia, non avrai accesso al tuo account o alle tue impostazioni. Tuttavia, indipendentemente da qualsiasi altra disposizione delle presenti condizioni d'uso, Wikimedia Foundation si riserva il diritto di sospendere o terminare i servizi in qualsiasi momento, con o senza motivo, e con o senza preavviso. Anche una volta che ti sono stati impediti, bloccati o comunque sospesi l'utilizzo e la partecipazione, le presenti Condizioni d'uso rimarranno in vigore per quanto riguarda le disposizioni pertinenti, comprese le sezioni 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, e 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Controversie e giurisdizione competente&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''In evidenza per enfatizzare''

Wikimedia Foundation si augura che non insorga nessun serio disaccordo con te. Tuttavia, in caso di controversia, Wikimedia Foundation ti richiede di cercarne la risoluzione attraverso le procedure o i meccanismi risolutori forniti dai progetti o dalle edizioni dei progetti e da Wikimedia Foundation. Se intendi avviare un'azione legale a carico di Wikimedia Foundation, ti impegna a farlo e a risolvere la controversia legale esclusivamente nei tribunali statali e federali della Contea di San Francisco, in California. Accetti inoltre che le leggi dello Stato della California e, nella misura applicabile, le leggi degli Stati Uniti d'America regolino le presenti Condizioni per l'uso e qualsiasi altra controversia legale possa insorgere tra te e Wikimedia Foundation (senza riferimento ad alcun conflitto di leggi). Accetti di sottoporti alla giurisdizione personale e accetti come fori competenti i tribunali ubicati nella Contea di San Francisco, California, nell'ambito di qualsiasi azione o procedura legale relativa a Wikimedia Foundation o alle presenti Condizioni d'uso.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Per garantire che le controversie siano trattate subito dopo essere insorte, accetti che, indipendentemente da qualsiasi statuto o legge che stabilisca il contrario, qualsiasi reclamo o diritto di agire in giudizio che potresti avere, nascente da o legato all'utilizzo dei nostri servizi o alle condizioni d'uso, debba essere esercitato entro i termini di legge applicabili o, se anteriore, un (1) anno dopo che i fatti pertinenti che costituiscono il fondamento di tale reclamo o diritto di agire possono essere scoperti con una diligenza ragionevole (o debba essere altrimenti precluso per sempre).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Come descritto nella sezione 4 delle presenti Condizioni d'uso, accetti di risolvere le violazioni riguardanti i contributi a pagamento forniti senza dichiarazione in una Mediazione aziendale di marketing a discrezione di Wikimedia Foundation. Le mediazioni delle società di marketing sono mediazioni ''vincolanti'' in cui, al termine di una sessione di mezza giornata o di un'intera giornata, le questioni controverse rimaste irrisolte saranno decise dal mediatore con una decisione giuridicamente vincolante. Le mediazioni saranno condotte in teleconferenza o videoconferenza. Se è necessario un incontro di persona, la mediazione della società di marketing si svolgerà nella contea di San Francisco, California. Le parti si divideranno equamente tutte le spese e gli onorari relativi alla mediazione/arbitrato.

Nell'ambito di una mediazione tra società di marketing, accetti di collaborare con Wikimedia Foundation, anche fornendo tempestivamente tutta la documentazione in tuo possesso relativa alle attività di editing a pagamento non dichiarate, compresi gli account utilizzati, i contenuti interessati e i clienti che hanno acquistato tali servizi.

Le mediazioni delle aziende di Marketing sono soggette e regolate dalla Legge federale sull'arbitrato (''Federal Arbitration Act'') nella misura in cui il mediatore diventa un arbitro. La parte che prevale avrà diritto a recuperare le spese legali (incluse tutte le spese necessarie per determinare l'applicabilità della Mediazione e per far rispettare il risultato vincolante) e tutti i costi relativi all'indagine e all'applicazione dei propri diritti. Una parte può essere considerata &quot;prevalente&quot; anche se non riesce a far valere tutti i suoi diritti.

Se per qualche motivo la totalità dei questi requisiti di mediazione dovesse risultare inapplicabile, accetti di risolvere qualsiasi controversia come descritto all'inizio di questa sezione.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Alla Wikimedia Foundation facciamo del nostro meglio per fornire contenuti educativi e informativi a un pubblico molto vasto, ma l'uso dei nostri servizi è a tuo esclusivo rischio. Forniamo questi servizi &quot;così come sono&quot; e &quot;come disponibili&quot; e decliniamo espressamente tutte le garanzie esplicite o implicite di qualsiasi tipo, incluse, ma non solo, le garanzie implicite di commerciabilità, idoneità per uno scopo particolare e non violazione. Non garantiamo che i nostri servizi soddisfino le esigenze dell'utente, siano sicuri, ininterrotti, tempestivi, accurati o privi di errori o che le informazioni dell'utente siano sicure.

Non siamo responsabili per il contenuto, i dati o le azioni di terzi e l'utente esonera noi, i nostri direttori, funzionari, dipendenti e agenti da qualsiasi reclamo e danno, noto e sconosciuto, derivante da o in qualsiasi modo collegato a qualsiasi reclamo dell'utente nei confronti di tali terzi. Nessun consiglio o informazione, orale o scritta, ottenuta dall'utente da noi o attraverso i nostri servizi crea una garanzia non espressamente dichiarata in queste Condizioni d'uso.

Qualunque materiale scaricato o altrimenti ottenuto attraverso il tuo utilizzo dei nostri servizi è fatto a tua discrezione e a tuo rischio, e sarai il solo responsabile di qualunque danno al tuo sistema informatico o perdita di dati che risulti dallo scaricamento di tale materiale. Accetti che non abbiamo alcuna responsabilità per la cancellazione di, o l'incapacità di memorizzare o di trasmettere, qualsiasi contenuto o comunicazione mantenuti dal servizio. Conserviamo il diritto di creare limiti all'utilizzo o alla memorizzazione a nostra sola discrezione in qualsiasi momento, con o senza preavviso.

Alcuni Stati o giurisdizioni non consentono tutti i tipi di esoneri da responsabilità previsti in questa sezione, così essi possono non applicarsi a te in tutto o in parte secondo la legge.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. Limitazione di responsabilità&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

La Wikimedia Foundation non sarà responsabile nei tuoi confronti o nei confronti di qualsiasi altra parte per qualsiasi danno diretto, indiretto, incidentale, speciale, conseguente o esemplare, compresi ma non limitati a, i danni per perdita di profitti, avviamento, utilizzo, dati o altre perdite intangibili, a prescindere dal fatto se fossimo stati avvisati della possibilità di tale danno. In nessun caso la nostra responsabilità dovrà eccedere mille dollari statunitensi (1.000,00 USD) in totale. Nel caso in cui la legge applicabile non possa consentire la limitazione o l'esclusione di responsabilità o dei danni incidentali o conseguenti, la suddetta limitazione o esclusione non può applicarsi a te, anche se la nostra responsabilità sarà limitata nella misura più completa permessa dalla legge applicabile.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modifiche a queste condizioni d'uso ==

Proprio come gli inserimenti della comunità di Wikimedia sono essenziali per la crescita e il mantenimento dei progetti, crediamo che gli inserimenti della comunità siano essenziali perché queste condizioni d'uso servano correttamente i nostri utenti. Essi sono essenziali anche per un contratto equo. Pertanto, forniremo queste condizioni d'uso, nonché qualsiasi futura revisione sostanziale delle stesse, alla comunità per i commenti almeno trenta (30) giorni prima della fine del periodo dei commenti. Se una revisione futura proposta è sostanziale, forniremo trenta (30) giorni supplementari per i commenti dopo aver pubblicato una traduzione della revisione proposta in almeno tre lingue (scelte a nostra discrezione). La comunità sarà incoraggiata a tradurre la revisione proposta in altre lingue come appropriato. Per i cambiamenti dovuti a ragioni legali o amministrative, per correggere una dichiarazione inaccurata, o per i cambiamenti in risposta ai commenti della comunità, forniremo un preavviso di almeno tre (3) giorni.

Poiché può essere necessario modificare queste condizioni d'uso o le politiche relative di tanto in tanto, forniremo un avviso di tali modifiche e l'opportunità attraverso i siti internet dei progetti, e attraverso una notifica su [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Tuttavia, ti chiediamo per favore di consultare periodicamente la versione più aggiornata di queste condizioni d'uso. Il tuo utilizzo continuato dei nostri servizi dopo che le nuove condizioni d'uso sono diventate ufficiali in seguito all'avviso e al periodo di consultazione costituisce un'accettazione delle condizioni d'uso da parte tua. Per la protezione della Wikimedia Foundation e degli altri utenti come te, se non accetti le nostre condizioni d'uso, non puoi utilizzare i nostri servizi.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Altre condizioni ==

Queste condizioni d'uso non creano una relazione di impiego, di agenzia, di associazione o di impresa congiunta fra te e noi, la Wikimedia Foundation. Ai fini della normativa dello Spazio Economico Europeo, della normativa del Regno Unito o di altre leggi che prevedono un concetto simile, non stai agendo &quot;sotto l'autorità&quot; della Fondazione quando utilizzi i servizi. Se non hai firmato un accordo separato con noi, queste condizioni d'uso costituiscono l'intero accordo fra te e noi. Se c'è un qualsiasi conflitto tra queste condizioni d'uso e un accordo scritto firmato fra te e noi, prevarrà l'accordo firmato.

Accetti che possiamo inviarti avvisi, compresi quelli riguardanti cambiamenti alle condizioni d'uso, mediante posta elettronica, posta ordinaria o pubblicazioni sui siti web dei progetti.

Se in qualsiasi circostanza non applichiamo o facciamo rispettare una qualunque disposizione di queste condizioni d'uso, ciò non costituisce una rinuncia a quella disposizione.

Conprendi che, a meno che non sia altrimenti concordato per iscritto da noi, non hai alcuna aspettativa di compenso per alcuna attività, contributo o idea che tu fornisca a noi, alla comunità, ai progetti o alle edizioni dei progetti.

A prescindere da qualsivoglia disposizione contraria presente in queste condizioni d'uso, non v'è intento da parte nostra (la Wikimedia Foundation) né tua di modificare i termini e i requisiti di ciascuna licenza libera utilizzata nei progetti o nelle edizioni dei progetti quando tale licenza è autorizzata da queste condizioni d'uso.

Queste condizioni d'uso sono state scritte in inglese (americano). Anche se speriamo che le traduzioni di queste condizioni d'uso siano accurate, nell'eventualità di qualsiasi differenza di significato tra la versione originale inglese e una traduzione, la versione originale inglese ha la precedenza.

Se una qualsiasi clausola o parte di una clausola di queste condizioni d'uso si rivelasse illegale, nulla o inapplicabile, quella clausola o parte della clausola sarà considerata separabile da queste condizioni d'uso e sarà applicata nella massima misura possibile, e tutte le altre clausole di queste condizioni d'uso rimarranno in pieno vigore ed effetto.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Grazie! ==

Apprezziamo che tu ti sia preso il tuo tempo per leggere queste condizioni d'uso, e siamo molto felici di averti con noi a contribuire ai progetti e a utilizzare i nostri servizi. Attraverso i tuoi contributi, stai partecipando alla costruzione di qualcosa di realmente grande: non soltanto un'importante raccolta di progetti di consultazione redatti collaborativamente, che forniscono informazione e istruzione a milioni di persone che non potrebbero altrimenti accedervi, ma anche una vivace comunità di uguali, simili per spirito e impegno, tesi a un nobilissimo obiettivo.

'''''想像してみてください、人類の知の総和を誰もが自由に共有できる世界を。その世界が私たちの公約です。''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|財団理念]]

ウィキメディアへようこそ！The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.（以下、「ウィキメディア財団」または「当財団」）は、非営利の慈善団体であり、&lt;ins&gt;その本拠地はカリフォルニア州サンフランシスコ&lt;/ins&gt;にあります。私たちは、[[w:en:Free content|ライセンスフリー]]またはパブリックドメインのコンテンツを収集・発展させ、効果的に無料で世界中に広められるよう、世界中の人々に働きかけ、結束していくことを[https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/mission/ 使命]としています。

当財団では、その活気にあふれたコミュニティーを支援するため、多言語に対応した各種ウィキプロジェクトおよびその言語版（[[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|ウィキメディアのプロジェクトのページ]]で説明）（ここでは「プロジェクト」と呼ぶ）の開発や、使命を果たすためのその他の取り組みに不可欠となる、インフラと組織的枠組みを提供しています。当財団は、各種プロジェクトから得られる教育的かつ情報的な内容を、インターネットを介して無料で永続的に利用できるよう努めています。

当財団は、あなた（以下、「あなた」または「利用者」）を、読者またはプロジェクトにおいて投稿者として歓迎し、ウィキメディアのコミュニティーへの参加を奨励します。ただし参加の前に、以下の利用規約（以下、「本利用規約」）をご覧になり、ご同意いただきますようお願いします。
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
本利用規約は、ウィキメディア財団における私たちの公開サービス、当財団と利用者としてのあなたとの関係、そしてその両者の指針となる権利と責任について定めるものです。当財団は、あなたのような利用者が寄稿、提供した教育・情報コンテンツを大量にホスティング（利用者がアクセス可能なウェブサイトでデータを保管・公開すること）しています。当財団は通常、コンテンツの寄稿、監視、削除を行っていません（まれな例外として、本利用規約などの方針で別段の旨が定められている場合、法律で義務付けられている場合、あるいは深刻な害を受ける緊急の脅威に直面した場合などが挙げられます）。これは、コンテンツを作成し管理する利用者の皆さんの手に編集権限があることを意味します。

コミュニティーとは、利用者のネットワークであり、当財団が使命として掲げる目標を達成するための主要な手段となっています。利用者は、当財団のプロジェクトや自身のウェブサイト（ここでは「プロジェクトのウェブサイト」と呼ぶ）を継続的に発展させ使用しています。コミュニティーは当財団のプロジェクトおよびプロジェクトのウェブサイトに貢献し、その管理の一翼を担っています。コミュニティーは特定のプロジェクトの言語版（例えば、ウィキペディアプロジェクトの異なる言語版やウィキメディア・コモンズの多言語版）向けに、方針を定め執行するという極めて重要な機能も果たします。

利用者であるあなたが投稿者、編集者、または執筆者として参加することを歓迎します。ただし、すべてのプロジェクトに適用される[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|ユニバーサル行動規範]]を含め、個々の独立したプロジェクトを管理している方針に従ってください。当財団の各種プロジェクトのうち最大のものはウィキペディアですが、当財団は他のプロジェクトも運営しており、それぞれに異なる目的と作業手法があります。各プロジェクトには寄稿者、編集者、執筆者のチームがあり、共同でプロジェクトのコンテンツを作成し管理しています。あなたはこうしたチームに参加して、そのチームのメンバーと共に各種プロジェクトの改善に取り組むことができます。私たちは誰もが自由にアクセスできるコンテンツを作ることに熱意を注いでいるため、あなたが寄稿したコンテンツはライセンスフリーとして提供されるか、またはパブリックドメインにおいて公開されます。

あなたは、アメリカ合衆国の法律およびその他の適用法（これには、あなたやあなたが投稿する主題が所属する国の法律が含まれる場合があります）に基づき、ウィキメディアにおけるコンテンツの寄稿、編集、再利用について全面的に法的責任を負うことにご留意ください。従って、コンテンツを寄稿、修正、または再利用する際には十分な注意を払うすることが重要です。この責任という観点で、当財団は禁止行為についていくつかの規則を定めており、ほとんどの規則は、あなた自身を守ること、またはあなたのような他の利用者を守ることを目的としています。当財団がホスティングするコンテンツは一般的な情報提供のみを目的としていることにご留意ください。従って、特定の質問（医療、法律、金融関連の問題など）について専門家の助言を必要とする場合は、適切な専門家に相談するようにしてください。また本利用規約には、その他の重要な注意事項および免責事項が含まれていますので、すべてお読みください。

明確さを期すために付記すると、[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|ウィキメディアの国・地域別協会]]や団体をはじめとする他の組織は、たとえ同じ使命を共有していようとも、ウィキメディア財団とは法的に独立した別個の組織です。任意のプロジェクトのウェブサイトについて、当財団が権限のある当事者として正式に宣言する場合を別として、これらの組織は、当該プロジェクトのウェブサイトの運用に対する責任を持ちません。

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. 財団のサービス ==

ウィキメディア財団は多言語に対応した無料コンテンツの発展、開発、配布を促進し、これらウィキベースの各種プロジェクトに含まれるすべてのコンテンツを一般に無料で提供することに尽力しています。当財団の役割は、共同作業によって編集された世界最大のレファレンスプロジェクト（百科事典、辞書など）をホスティングすることです。各種プロジェクトについては、[[//www.wikimedia.org|こちらでご覧いただけます]]。しかし、当財団の役目は単にホスティングサービスプロバイダーであり、インフラと組織的枠組みを維持しています。このインフラと組織的枠組みにより、利用者は自らコンテンツを投稿・編集することでプロジェクトを構築できるようになります。また、利用者はそのコンテンツを再利用することもできます。当財団が維持するインフラには、利用者がプロジェクト上のコンテンツをプログラムによって操作し、再利用することを可能にする専門的な技術インフラ（「アプリケーションプログラミングインターフェース」または「API」と呼ばれる）、およびモバイルアプリケーションが含まれます。

本利用規約において、[//www.wikimedia.org 当財団のサービスは]、当財団が運営するウェブサイト、維持する技術インフラ、当財団の各種プロジェクトの維持および改善のためにホスティングしているテクニカルスペースで構成されています。

当財団の役割には類例がないため、当財団とあなたとの関係、各種プロジェクトとの関係、および他の利用者との関係について考える際に留意していただきたいことがいくつかあります。

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''当財団は編集者の役割を果たしません：'''各種プロジェクトは共同作業によって編集されるため、当財団がホスティングするコンテンツの大半はすべて利用者から提供されており、当財団は編集者の役割を果たしません。これは、ほとんどの場合当財団がプロジェクトのウェブサイトのコンテンツを監視または編集をすることはなく、コンテンツについての責任をとらないことを意味します。同様に、当財団は、別段の旨を明示的に定める場合を別として、当財団のサービスを通じて表明された意見を支持しません。また、プロジェクトに提出されたいかなるコミュニティーコンテンツについて、その真実性、正確性、信頼性も主張せず、保証しません。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''あなたは、次のとおり、自己の行動に責任を負います：'''あなたは、各種プロジェクトにおける自分の編集および寄稿、コンテンツの再利用、APIの利用、およびさらには当財団のサービス全般の利用について法的に責任を負います。そのため自分自身を守るためには、十分に注意を払い、適用法の下で結果的に刑事責任または民事責任を生じさせる可能性がある行動を一切避ける必要があります。明確さを期すために付記すると、適用法には少なくともアメリカ合衆国およびカリフォルニア州の法律が含まれます。その他の国については、ケースバイケースで判断されます。当財団が同意しない可能性がある法的措置として、利用者、特に編集者、投稿者、執筆者に注意を促す点は、利用者が居住する、またはコンテンツを閲覧もしくは編集する場所の現地法など、関係当局が他の国の法律を利用者に適用しようとする可能性があります。当財団は通常、こうした法律の適用に対して、いかなる保護、保証、免除または補償も提供できません。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

当財団の[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|プライバシーに関する方針の条項]]をよく読み、当財団がどのようにあなたの情報を収集し使用しているのかを理解していただくようお願いします。

== 4. 特定の活動の制限 ==

ウィキメディア財団が運営する各種プロジェクトが存在できるのは、コンテンツを共同で執筆、編集、キュレートするあなたのような利用者による活気に満ちたコミュニティーのおかげです。当財団は、あなたがこのコミュニティーに参加することを歓迎します。コミュニティーでは、節度と礼儀を持って他のメンバーと交流し、誠意を持って行動するよう、また共有されるプロジェクトの使命の推進を目指して編集および寄稿を行うようお願いします。すべての利用者は[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|ユニバーサル行動規範]]（「UCoC」）をよく読み、遵守してください。この行動規範は、当財団が運営している各種プロジェクトにおいて利用者に求められる平等で礼節ある連携に関する要件を定めています。

::* 適用法、または利益相反などに関するプロジェクト固有の方針や当財団の方針およびガイドラインでは、有償の寄稿をさらに厳しく制限したり、詳細な開示を求めたりする場合があります。例えば、ウィキメディアの商標（第6条で定義）を侵害して有償編集サービスを宣伝すること、以前に適切に開示された有償編集の開示を削除すること、適切な開示を現実的に不可能にする方法で有償編集をログアウトすることは本セクションに違反します。
::* ウィキメディアのプロジェクトのコミュニティーは、本利用規約とは別の、有償の寄稿に関する開示方針を採用し、本条項を補足するか置き換える場合があります。プロジェクトが別の開示方針を採用する場合、そのプロジェクトに寄稿する際には、本条（有償の寄稿の非開示）の要件ではなく、その方針を遵守することができます。

:: 詳細については、「[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|有償の寄稿の開示に関する質問と回答]]」をお読みください。


[[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|コミュニティー方針違反を調査し、この方針を執行する]]ボランティア編集者たちは、有償の寄稿を開示しない利用者によって不当な負担を抱えることになります。従って、あなたは、非開示の有償の編集に関する本条の違反に関して、本利用規約の第14条に規定されている通り、法的拘束力を持つ「調停・仲裁」手続きに服することに同意するものとします（以下、「マーケティング会社の調停」）。

当財団は、本利用規約の第4条の規定に関して、当財団の執行の裁量権を行使する権利を留保します。本規定の執行には、必要に応じて、ウィキメディア財団の「[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|事務局行動方針]]」に記載されていない措置が含まれることがあります。これまでにない新たな状況において執行が必要となる場合には、新たな施策を記載するために遅くとも1年以内に「事務局行動方針」を更新するよう努めます。

プロジェクトのウェブサイトのコンテンツの再利用にはかなりの自由がありますが、ウィキメディア財団では、詐欺的ななりすましから利用者を守るために、商標権を保護することが重要です。このため、当財団の商標を尊重していただくようお願いいたします。ウィキメディア財団の商標はすべてウィキメディア財団に帰属し、当財団の商号、商標、サービスマーク、ロゴ、ドメイン名の使用では、本利用規約および当財団が定める[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|商標利用方針]]を順守する必要があります。

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. コンテンツの利用許諾 ==

自由な知識と自由な文化の共有の場を広げるために、各種プロジェクトやプロジェクトのウェブサイトに寄稿する利用者はすべて、自分の寄稿物を公衆が自由に再配布、再利用できるという広範囲な許可を与えるよう、利用の際に帰属表示が適切になされ、いかなる派生作品にも同じだけの再利用と再配布の自由度が与えられている限りにおいて要求されます。自由な情報をできるだけ多くの閲覧者に提供するという目標に基づいて、提出されたコンテンツすべてに対して、アクセスする人には誰にでも自由に再利用できるというライセンスを必要に応じて与えることを当財団は要求します。

あなたは、下記の許諾に関する要求事項に同意します。
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''あなたが著作権を保有するテキスト：''' あなたは、自分が著作権を保有するテキストを寄稿する場合、以下に基づくライセンスを付与することに合意するものとします。
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} クリエイティブ・コモンズAttribution-ShareAlike4.0国際ライセンス]（「CC BY-SA 4.0」)
* [//www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.ja.html GNU フリー文書利用許諾] (「GFDL」）（バージョンなし、変更不可部分なし、表表紙テキストなし、裏表紙テキストなし）。

再利用者はどちらか片方、もしくは両方の許諾の条件に従うことができます。&lt;br /&gt;
唯一の例外は、そのプロジェクト版または機能により別のライセンスが必要とされる場合です。この場合、あなたは、プロジェクト版または機能によって規定された特定のライセンスに基づき、あなたが寄稿したテキストをライセンスすることに同意するものとします。

これらのライセンスは、使用が各ライセンス規約に準拠している限り、あなたの寄稿を商業目的で使用することを認めることに注意してください。あなたがCC BY-SA 4.0に基づく「データベースに関する独自の権利」を保有している場合、この権利を放棄するものとします。すなわち、あなたが各種プロジェクトで寄稿した事実は帰属表示をせずに自由に再利用されることになります。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''帰属表示：'''帰属表示はこれらのライセンスの重要な部分です。当財団は、これを、功績がある人 ―あなたのような執筆者― についてその功績を明示することだと考えています。あなたはテキストを寄稿する際に、下記のいずれかの様式による帰属表示に同意するものとします。
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;あなたが寄稿した記事へのハイパーリンク（可能な場合）またはURLによる（各記事にはすべての寄稿者、執筆者および編集者を一覧する履歴ページがあるため）&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;自由にアクセス可能な代替の安定したオンライン上の複製物へのハイパーリンク（可能な場合）またはURLによる。ただし、複製物は関連ライセンスに準拠し、プロジェクトのウェブサイト上に表示されるクレジットと同等の方法で執筆者に対するクレジット表示を提供するものとします。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;全執筆者リスト一覧による（ただし、いかなる執筆者リストにおいても、非常に小さいまたは重要でない寄稿は除外される可能性があることに留意してください）。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''テキストの取り込み：''' 別の場所で見つけたテキストや他の人と共同執筆したテキストを取り込むことは可能ですが、そのような場合、あなたは当該テキストがCC BY-SA（または上記に説明されるとおり、そのプロジェクト版または機能により特別に必要とされる場合は別のライセンス）と互換性がある規定に基づいて利用できることを表明、保証します。互換ライセンスのリストについては、クリエイティブ・コモンズをご覧ください。GFDLでのみ利用可能なコンテンツを取り込むことはできません。&lt;br /&gt;

帰属表示を必要とするCCライセンスに基づきテキストを取り込む場合、あなたは、合理的な方法で執筆者をクレジット表示しなくてはならないことに同意するものとします。かかるクレジット表示が一般に（ウィキメディア内部での複写などに際して）ページ履歴を通して提供される場合、帰属表示は、テキストを取り込む際にぺージ履歴に記録されるため、編集要約で提供すれば十分です。帰属表示の用件は、特定の状況では（ライセンスにかかわらず）煩わしすぎることがあり、それを理由として取り込まれたテキストは使用できないものとウィキメディアのコミュニティーが決定する場合があります。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''テキスト以外の媒体：'''各種プロジェクトでは、無制限の再利用および再配布を認めるという全体的目標を支援する種々のライセンスに従い、テキスト以外の媒体を利用することができます。あなたは、テキスト以外の媒体を寄稿する際に、当財団の[[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|使用許諾方針]]に説明されるかかるライセンスの要件に従うこと、また寄稿先である特定のプロジェクト版または機能の要求事項にも従うことに同意するものとします。テキスト以外の媒体をウィキメディア・コモンズに寄稿することに関しての詳細について、[[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|ウィキメディア・コモンズ使用許諾方針]]も参照してください。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''ライセンスの撤回不可：''' あなたは、あなたのライセンスと一貫性がある場合を除き、当財団のサービスの利用を終了した場合であっても、あなたが本利用規約に基づいて各種プロジェクトまたは機能に寄稿したテキストコンテンツや非テキスト媒体に対して認めたいかなるライセンスも、一方的に撤回したり、無効化を求めたりしないことに同意するものとします。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''パブリックドメインのコンテンツ：''' パブリックドメインのコンテンツは歓迎されます。しかしながら、アメリカ合衆国の法律、および特定のプロジェクト版で必要とされるその他の国々の法律に基づき、コンテンツのパブリックドメインの状態を確認することが重要です。あなたは、パブリックドメインのコンテンツを寄稿する際に、その素材が実際にパブリックドメインであることを保証し、そのことを適切に表示することに同意するものとします。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''再利用：''' 当財団がホスティングするコンテンツの再利用は歓迎されますが、「公正な使用」の下に投稿されたコンテンツに対する例外、または適用される著作権法に基づく類似の例外が存在します。いかなる再利用も、基本となるライセンスに従わなくてはなりません。&lt;br /&gt;

ウィキメディアのコミュニティが作成したテキストページをあなたが再利用または再配布する際、あなたは次のいずれかの様式で執筆者を帰属表示することに同意します：
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;再利用しているページへのハイパーリンク（可能な場合）またはURLの使用（各ページにはすべての投稿者、執筆者および編集者を一覧する履歴ページがあるため）。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;自由にアクセス可能な代替の安定したオンライン上の複製物へのハイパーリンク（可能な場合）またはURLの使用。ただし、複製物はライセンスに準拠し、プロジェクトのウェブサイト上に表示されるクレジットと同等の方法で執筆者に対するクレジット表示を提供するものとします。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;全執筆者リストの使用（ただし、いかなる執筆者リストにおいても、非常に小さいまたは重要でない寄稿は除外される可能性があることに留意してください）。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

テキストコンテンツが別の情報源から取り込まれた場合、そのコンテンツが互換性のあるCC BY-SAライセンスの下に使用許諾されていても、GFDLの下では使用許諾されていない可能性があります（上記「テキストの取り込み」で説明されるとおり）。その場合、あなたは互換性のあるCC BY-SAライセンスに従うことに同意するものとします。あなたにはGFDLのもとで再使用許諾する選択権がありません。再使用または再配布しようとするコンテンツに適用されるライセンスを判断するためには、ページの下部、ページの履歴、および議論ページを確認してください。

さらに、外部ソースに由来し、プロジェクトに取り込まれたテキストは、追加の帰属表示要件を有するライセンスを受けている可能性があることに留意してください。利用者は、こうした追加の帰属表示要件を明確に示すことに同意するものとします。プロジェクトによっては、コンテンツの一部またはすべてが元々どこか別の場所で公開されたということを指摘するバナーやその他の注記などで、かかる要件が表示される場合があります。こうした注記の表示がある場合、再利用者はそれを順守しなくてはなりません。

あなたは、テキスト以外の媒体については、その著作物の利用を認めるのに適用されるライセンスに従うことに同意するものとします（これらのライセンスは著作物をクリックしてその説明ページにある使用許諾に関する項目を見るか、またはその著作物に適用されるソースページを閲覧することで見つけることができます）。また、当財団がホスティングするコンテンツを再利用する場合、基本となるライセンス（複数の場合あり）に付随する関連の帰属表示要件に従うことに同意するものとします。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''あなたが再利用する素材の修正または追加：''' あなたは、プロジェクトのウェブサイトから入手したテキストを修正したり、それに追加したりする場合は、CC BY-SA 4.0またはそれ以降のバージョンの規約（または上記に説明されるとおり、特定のプロジェクト版または機能により特別に必要とされる場合は別のライセンス）のもとで、修正または追加されたコンテンツを使用許諾することに同意するものとします。&lt;br /&gt;

あなたは、プロジェクトウェブサイトから入手したテキスト以外の媒体を修正したり、それに追加したりする場合、その著作物の利用を認めるあらゆるライセンスに従い、修正または追加されたコンテンツを使用許諾することに同意するものとします。&lt;br /&gt;

あなたは、テキストコンテンツとテキスト以外の媒体の両方において、当初の著作物が修正されたことを明確に示すことに同意するものとします。ウィキでテキストコンテンツを再利用している場合は、取り込んだテキストに変更を行ったことをページ履歴に示せば十分です。配布する各写しまたは修正版については、ライセンスまたはライセンス自体の写しの本文に対するハイパーリンクまたはURLのいずれかと併せて、あなたはその著作物がどのライセンスに基づいて公表されるのか記載する「使用許諾に関する通知」を含めることに同意するものとします。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

ウィキメディア財団は、当財団がホスティングするコンテンツが、他の利用者が責任を恐れることなく再利用できること、および他者の所有権を侵害していないことを保証したいと考えています。当財団の方針は、当財団の利用者だけでなく、他のクリエイターや著作権所有者に対しても公正を期して、デジタル・ミレニアム著作権法（DMCA）の手続きに従った、侵害の疑いの通知に対応するためのものです。DMCAに従い、当財団は、適切な状況において、当財団のプロジェクトおよびサービスにおいて侵害を繰り返している当財団のシステムおよびネットワークの利用者およびアカウント保持者を解除するものとします。

しかし、すべての削除通知が有効であったり、善意であったりするわけではないことも認識しています。このような場合、当財団は、DMCA削除要求が無効または不適切であると適切に判断した場合には、利用者が反対通知を提出することを強く推奨します。DMCA通知が不適切に行われたと思われる場合の対処法については、[//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database]のウェブサイトをご覧ください。

あなたがコンテンツの所有者で、そのコンテンツがご自身の許可なく、いずれかのプロジェクトで不適切に使用されている場合、あなたはDMCAに基づく通知を提出することにより、当該コンテンツの削除を要求することができます。そのような要求をするには、{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}にメールを送信するか、[[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|当財団指定代理店宛に要求をご郵送ください。]].

また、当財団のコミュニティーに要求すると、DMCAに規定されたプロセスよりも迅速かつ効果的に著作権問題が処理されることがあります。その場合、著作権に関する懸念を説明する通知を投稿することができます。異なるプロジェクト版に関連するプロセスの非網羅的かつ非公式なリストについては、[[:m:Copyright problems|著作権問題のページをご覧ください]]。DMCA要求の提出前に、{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}宛てでコミュニティーへメールを送信することもできます。

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 9. 第三者のウェブサイトおよびリソース ==

第三者のウェブサイトまたはリソースの使用については、あなたが単独で責任を負うものとします。プロジェクトおよびプロジェクトのウェブサイトには、第三者のウェブサイトおよびリソースへのリンクが含まれていますが、当財団は、それらの可用性、正確性、または関連コンテンツ、製品、サービス（ウイルスまたはその他の無効化機能を含むがこれに限定されない）について保証せず、責任を負わず、当財団にはかかる第三者のコンテンツを監視する義務もありません。

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. ウェブサイトの管理 ==

異なるプロジェクト版に適用する方針を作成し実施するに当たっては、コミュニティーが第一義的な役割を果たします。ウィキメディア財団が方針とその実施に関するコミュニティーの決定に干渉することは稀です。

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
その他の理由で、違法なコンテンツや、本利用規約（ここで言及することにより組み込まれるすべての方針と文書も含みます）に違反しているコンテンツについて、[[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|当財団に直接連絡して]]通知することは可能です。ただし、通常はプロジェクトのコミュニティーに直接問い合わせることができます。こちらの方がより効率的であり、「利用者のコミュニティーに権限を持たせる」というプロジェクトの目的にも合致しています。
&lt;/div&gt;


通常、各種プロジェクトには、さらなるガイダンスのための「ヘルプ」ページや「お問い合わせ」ページ、または問題を報告する特別なツールが提供されています。また、不明な点がある場合は、コミュニティーのメンバーに支援を求めることもできます。{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}に、または[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|問い合わせ対応ボランティアチームのページ]]から言語固有のアドレスにメールを送信してください。こうしたメールボックスを管理しているのは各種プロジェクトの利用者であって、当財団ではないことにご留意ください。そのため、これらの利用者に法的請求を行ったり、そのような警告をしたりすべきではありません。

問題が発生した場合、当財団に報告していただければ、現行のコミュニティー主導の体制が調査を行い、必要に応じて解決することができるかどうか、またどのようにそれを行うかに関して検討いたします。

特異な案件では、プロジェクトに大きな混乱をもたらすか危険な行動を取るなど、特に問題がある利用者やコンテンツに対応する必要が生じ、コミュニティーが当財団に対応を依頼する場合があります。そのような場合、当財団はその単独の裁量により（または法律上の義務により）以下の行動を行う権利を留保します。

* (a) 本利用規約、各種プロジェクト版の方針、その他適用される法律や方針への違反があったかどうかを究明すること、または (b) 適用される法律、訴訟手続き、政府による適切な要請に従うことを目的として、プロジェクトまたは当財団のサービス利用状況について調査する。
* 詐欺、虚偽または検証不可能な情報、セキュリティ、または技術上の問題を検知、予防、対処する、または利用者の支援要請に応じる。
* 本利用規約に違反するあらゆる利用者からの寄稿を拒否、取消、無効化し、寄稿へのアクセスを制限する。
* 適用法の下で人権の原則に従って、違法な素材の投稿を繰り返すなど、本利用規約に違反する行為があった利用者の編集や寄稿を禁止する。または、その利用者のアカウントやアクセス権を停止する。
* 本利用規約に違反する利用者に対して（法執行機関に報告することを含めた）法的手段を講じる。
* 各種プロジェクトのウェブサイトが適正に機能するように、また、当財団、その利用者、ライセンサー、パートナー、公衆の権利、所有物および安全を守るように設計されているウェブサイトを管理する。

こうした当財団によるモデレーション（サイト内のコンテンツが適切であるように管理すること）活動では、ソフトウェア（トラフィックフラッド（DoS攻撃）防止ツールなど）を活用している場合があります。そのような場合、[[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|要請があれば]]、人の手による調査も通常対応しています。

当財団の利用者と各種プロジェクトの利益のため、いかなる者も、自らのアカウントやアクセス権が本条項に基づいて停止されるような極端な状況下では、当財団が明示的な許可を出さない限り、同じプロジェクトで別のアカウントを作成すること、利用すること、そのプロジェクトへのアクセス権を得ようとすることを禁じられます。財団自体は、コミュニティーが持つ権限を制約することなく、本利用規約やコミュニティーの方針に違反する行為とはならない善意の批判のみを理由として、批判した利用者の編集や投稿を禁止したり、その利用者のアカウントやアクセス権を停止したりすることはありません。

ウィキメディアのコミュニティーとそのメンバーは、当該プロジェクト版に適用されるコミュニティーの方針または当財団の方針で許可されている場合、方針に違反した利用者に対して警告、調査、ブロック、アクセス禁止をはじめとする処分をくだすことがあります。あなたは、特定のプロジェクト版でコミュニティーが設置した紛争解決組織（裁定委員会など）の最終決定にしたがうことに同意するものとします。かかる決定には当該プロジェクト版の方針で定める制裁措置が含まれることがあります。

過去に複数のプロジェクト版でアカウントやアクセス権を停止されたことがあるなど、特に問題がある利用者は、「[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|グローバル追放方針]]」に従って、すべてのプロジェクト版からの追放の対象となることがあります。理事会決議や本利用規約とは対照的に、単一のプロジェクト版または複数のプロジェクト版を対象とするものとしてコミュニティーがさだめる方針（「グローバル追放方針」など）は、該当のコミュニティーが独自の手続きに従って変更する場合があります。

本規定におけるアカウントやアクセス権の停止、利用者の追放は、本利用規約の第13条に従って行われます。

当財団が問題のあるコンテンツの報告を受けても充分に対応していないと考える場合、または自分自身が当財団のモデレーション活動の対象となっていることに異議を唱えたい場合には、[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|異議申し立て]]ができることがあります。異議申し立ての手段に関する情報はその時点で当人に説明されますが、該当のプロジェクトの「ヘルプ」ページにも掲載されています。

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
当財団は、利用者や第三者から受けた報告やその他の通信事項について、それが違法または問題のあるコンテンツや行為、あるいはモデレーション活動に対する異議申し立てに関するものかどうかを問わず、悪意、繰り返し、事実無根、あるいは虐待的なものであった場合には、その対応を（一時的または永久的に）停止する権利を留保します。当財団が適切とみなす場合、当人の電子メールアドレスを当財団のメールシステムからブロックすることもあります。従って、ブロックされている間に引き続き当財団に問い合わせたい場合には、[[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|当財団の郵送先住所]]を使用する必要があります。こうした措置は、よほど深刻な問題でない限り（例えば、意味のない苦情に関する節度ある電子メールを3回まで）、一時的なもので終わりますが、これより頻繁または悪質な通信があった場合には、永久的な措置が講じられる可能性があります。

&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
本利用規約の第4条で述べたように、当財団がその裁量により「有償の寄稿の非開示」の違反を解決するために「マーケティング会社の調停」で解決する場合、あなたはこれに同意するものとします。「マーケティング会社の調停」とは、半日または全日のセッションが終わるまでに紛争が解決に至らなかった場合に、調停人が法的拘束力を持つ裁定を行うことにより解決する法的拘束力を持つ調停を意味します。調停は電話会議またはビデオ会議によって行われます。対面式の会議が必要とされる場合、「マーケティング会社の調停」はカリフォルニア州サンフランシスコ郡で行われるものとします。調停の当事者は、調停／仲裁に関するすべての手数料と費用を平等に分割して負担します。

あなたは、「マーケティング会社の調停」に関与する場合、当財団に協力することに同意するものとします。かかる協力には、使用したアカウント、関係のある記事、あなたに報酬を支払った顧客に関するものなど、あなたが開示していない有償の編集活動に関してあなたが保持しているすべての文書を適時に提供することが挙げられます。

「マーケティング会社の調停」は、調停人が仲裁人を務めることになった場合、連邦仲裁法に準拠するものとします。勝訴当事者は、自身の弁護士費用（「マーケティング会社の調停」の妥当性を判断するために必要とした費用および法的拘束力を持つ裁定を執行するための費用を含む）並びに自身の権利を調査・執行するために支払ったすべての費用を回収する権利を与えられます。勝訴当事者とみなされるには、申し立てた請求がすべて認められる必要はありません。

「マーケティング会社の調停」の要件全体が何らかの理由で執行不可能と判断された場合には、あなたは本条の冒頭で述べた方法で紛争を解決することに同意するものとします。

== 17. 本利用規約の変更 ==

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Onze Gebruiksvoorwaarden&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Stelt u zich een wereld voor, waarin elke persoon vrijelijk kan beschikken over de som van alle kennis. Dat is onze inzet.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Onze visieverklaring]]

Welkom bij Wikimedia! De Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;wij&quot; of &quot;ons&quot; en &quot;Foundation&quot;), is een liefdadigheidsorganisatie zonder winstoogmerk, gevestigd in San Francisco, Californië, Verenigde Staten (VS), wiens [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|streven]] het is om mensen in de hele wereld aan te moedigen om, en te betrekken bij het verzamelen en ontwikkelen van inhoud onder een [[{{lwp|Free content}}|vrije licentie]] of in het publieke domein en deze kennis daadwerkelijk en wereldwijd zonder kosten beschikbaar te stellen.

Om onze levendige gemeenschap te ondersteunen bieden wij de essentiële infrastructuur en de organisatie voor de ontwikkeling van meertalige Wikiprojecten en hun edities (zoals [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|hier]] wordt uitgelegd) en andere ondernemingen die onze missie ondersteunen. We streven ernaar om de (educatieve) informatie van de Projecten kosteloos en eeuwig beschikbaar te maken en te houden.

We verwelkomen u (&quot;u&quot; of de &quot;gebruiker&quot;) als lezer of bijdrager aan de Wikimediaprojecten en we moedigen u aan om u bij de Wikimediagemeenschap aan te sluiten. Voordat u mee gaat doen, willen we u wel vriendelijk vragen om de volgende Gebruiksvoorwaarden (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;) te lezen en ermee in te stemmen.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden geven u informatie over onze openbare diensten bij de Wikimedia Foundation, onze verhouding met u als gebruiker, en de rechten en verantwoordelijkheden die voor beide leidend zijn. We bieden digitale infrastructuren aan met een onvoorstelbare hoeveelheid educatieve en informatieve inhoud, die volledig is geproduceerd en mogelijk gemaakt door gebruikers zoals uzelf. In de regel dragen wij niet bij aan, houden geen toezicht op en verwijderen geen inhoud (met zelden voorkomende  uitzonderingen zoals op grond van beleid als deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, vanwege juridische aansprakelijkheid, of als we worden geconfronteerd met acute bedreigingen of ernstige schade). Dit betekent  dat inhoudelijke controle in de handen ligt van u en uw medegebruikers die de inhoud creëeren en beheren.

De gemeenschap - het netwerk van gebruikers dat de projecten en/of hun websites (hierna &quot;projectwebsites&quot; genoemd) voortdurend uitbouwt en gebruikt  - is het belangrijkste middel waarmee de doelen van de missie worden bereikt. De gemeenschap draagt bij aan onze projecten en projectwebsites en helpt die te besturen. De gemeenschap heeft ook de cruciale functie van het maken en handhaven van beleid dat geldt binnen de specifieke projectenedities (zoals de verschillende taalversies van het Wikipediaproject of de meertalige editie Wikimedia Commons).

U, de gebruiker, bent welkom om deel te nemen als bijdrager, bewerker of auteur, maar u dient zich te houden aan het beleid dat geldt voor de onafhankelijke projectedities, inclusief de [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC) of Universele Gedragscode, die van toepassing is op alle projectedities. Het grootste project is Wikipedia, maar we hosten ook andere projecten, die ieder eigen doelstellingen en werkwijzen hebben. Iedere projecteditie heeft een team van bijdragers, bewerkers en auteurs die samen werken om de inhoud van die projecteditie te creëeren en te beheren. U bent welkom om zich bij deze teams aan te sluiten en met ze samen te werken om deze projecten te verbeteren. Omdat het ons er om gaat, inhoud gratis toegankelijk te maken voor het publiek, moet de inhoud die u bijdraagt door u beschikbaar worden gesteld onder een vrije licentie of worden uitgegeven in het publieke domein.

Wees u zich er alstublieft van bewust, dat u juridisch verantwoordelijk bent voor al uw bijdragen, bewerkingen en hergebruik van Wikimedia-inhoud volgens de wetten van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika en andere van toepassing zijnde wetten (die wetgeving kan omvatten die geldt in de jurisdictie waar u, of het onderwerp van het artikel waaraan u aan bijdraagt, zich bevindt). Dit betekent dat het belangrijk is dat u zorgvuldigheid in acht neemt wanneer u inhoud publiceert, verandert, of hergebruikt. In het kader van deze verantwoordelijkheid hebben we enige regels voor wat u niet kunt doen, de meesten daarvan zijn er zowel voor uw eigen bescherming als die van andere gebruikers zoals u. Houdt in gedachten, dat de inhoud die wij hosten uitsluitend algemeen informatieve doeleinden dient, dus als u advies van een deskundige nodig heeft voor een bepaalde vraag (zoals bij problemen op medisch, juridisch of financieel vlak), dient u hulp te  zoeken bij een geschikte professional. Verder zijn er ook andere belangrijke mededelingen en juridische voorbehouden opgenomen, dus lees alstublieft deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden in hun geheel.

Voor de duidelijkheid: andere organisaties, zoals  [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|plaatselijke &quot;Wikimedia chapters&quot;]] en verenigingen, die misschien dezelfde missie hebben, zijn desalniettemin juridisch onafhankelijk en losstaand van de Wikimedia Foundation. Tenzij anders verklaard door de Foundation als een bevoegde partij bij een bepaalde projectwebsite, hebben dergelijke andere organisaties geen verantwoordelijkheid voor het draaiende houden van de projectwebsite of voor de inhoud daarvan.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Onze diensten ==

De Wikimedia Foundation is toegewijd aan het stimuleren van de groei, ontwikkeling en verspreiding van vrije meertalige inhoud, en om de volledige inhoud van deze wikigebaseerde projecten zonder het vragen van een vergoeding aan het publiek ter beschikking te stellen.  Het is onze rol, om een aantal van de grootste gezamenlijk bewerkte referentieprojecten ter wereld te hosten; u kunt ze [//www.wikimedia.org hier] vinden. We zijn echter slechts een hostingdienst die de infrastructuur onderhoudt en het organisatorisch raamwerk. Deze infrastructuur en het raamwerk stellen onze gebruikers in staat de projecten uit te bouwen door zelf inhoud bij te dragen en te bewerken. Ze stellen onze gebruikers ook in staat om die inhoud opnieuw te gebruiken. De infrastructuur die we onderhouden omvat gespecialiseerde technologische infrastructuur die gebruikers in staat stelt om programmatisch te interageren met de inhoud op projecten en deze te hergebruiken (aangeduid als &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; of &quot;API's&quot;), en mobiele applicaties.

Zoals gebruikt in de rest van de Gebruiksvoorwaarden, bestaan onze diensten uit: [//www.wikimedia.org de projectwebsites die we hosten], technologische infrastructuur die we onderhouden en alle technische ruimtes die we hosten voor het onderhoud en de verbetering van onze Projecten.

Vanwege onze unieke rol, zijn er een aantal dingen waarvan u zich bewust moet zijn, wanneer u onze relatie met u, in ogenschouw neemt, de projecten en andere gebruikers:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Wij nemen geen redactionele rol op ons:''' omdat de projecten op een collaboratieve manier worden bewerkt, wordt het overgrote merendeel van de inhoud die wij hosten, wordt geleverd door gebruikers, en wij nemen geen redactionele rol aan. Dit betekent dat we in de regel geen toezicht houden op de inhoud van de projectwebsites of deze bewerken, en we aanvaarden geen enkele verantwoordelijkheid voor deze inhoud. Op 
 vergelijkbare wijze, tenzij we uitdrukkelijk anderszins verklaard hebben, staan we niet achter meningen die geuit worden via onze diensten, en we staan niet in voor, noch garanderen we de  waarheidsgetrouwheid, nauwkeurigheid of betrouwbaarheid van enige door de gemeenschap bijgedragen inhoud bij de projecten.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''U bent verantwoordelijk voor uw eigen handelingen:''' U bent juridisch verantwoordelijk voor uw bewerkingen en bijdragen aan de projecten, uw hergebruik van inhoud van de projecten, uw gebruik van de API's en uw gebruik van onze diensten meer in het algemeen. Voor uw eigen bescherming dient u voorzichtigheid te betrachten, en iedere handeling te vermijden die kan voeren tot strafrechtelijke of civielrechtelijke aansprakelijkheid onder toepasselijk recht. Voor de duidelijkheid, het toepasselijk recht omvat in ieder geval ten minste de wetten van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika en van de staat Californië. Voor andere landen wordt het toepasselijk recht vastgesteld op een &quot;case-by-case&quot; basis (van geval-tot-geval). Alhoewel we het mogelijk niet eens zijn met dergelijke acties, waarschuwen we gebruikers er voor, met name de bewerkers, bijdragers en auteurs, dat niet-Amerikaanse autoriteiten kunnen proberen andere nationale wetgeving op u en uw handelen toe te passen, inclusief het recht van de jurisdictie waar u woont of waar u inhoud bekijkt of bewerkt. We kunnen over het algemeen geen bescherming, garantie, immuniteit of schadeloosstelling bieden tegen de toepassing van dergelijke wetten.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Privacybeleid ==

Wij vragen u om kennis te nemen van ons [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacybeleid]], zodat u er van op de hoogte bent hoe we uw gegevens verzamelen en gebruiken.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Inhoud die we hosten ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''U kunt sommige inhoud verwerpelijk of onjuist vinden:''' Omdat wij een breed scala aan inhoud hosten die is geproduceerd of verzameld door medegebruikers, kunt u materiaal tegenkomen dat u beledigend, onjuist, misleidend, onjuist bestempeld of anderszins verwerpelijk vindt. We vragen u daarom om uw gezond verstand en een objectief oordeel te gebruiken wanneer u gebruik maakt van onze diensten.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''De inhoud van projecten is uitsluitend bedoeld voor algemeen informatieve doeleinden:''' Hoewel we hier veel informatie hosten die betrekking heeft op professionele onderwerpen, daaronder medische, juridische of financiële kwesties, wordt de inhoud uitsluitend aangeboden om te dienen als algemene informatie. Deze zal niet mogen worden opgevat als beroepsmatig advies. Raadpleeg alstublieft een onafhankelijke beroepsbeoefenaar die een vergunning bezit of gekwalificeerd is in het van toepassing zijnde gebied, in plaats van te handelen op basis van welke  informatie, mening, of advies dan ook, opgenomen in een van de projectwebsites.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Onthouden van bepaalde activiteiten ==

De projecten die door de Wikimedia Foundation worden gehost, bestaan alleen maar ​​dankzij de levendige gemeenschap van gebruikers zoals u, die samenwerken om inhoud te schrijven, te bewerken en te beheren. Wij verwelkomen uw deelname aan deze gemeenschap met plezier. We moedigen u aan om respectvol en beleefd te zijn in uw omgang met anderen in de gemeenschap, om te  handelen in goed vertrouwen, en om te bewerken en bij te dragen met als doel het dichterbij brengen van de missie van het gedeelde project. We vragen alle gebruikers om de [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;) te bestuderen en te volgen, waarin vereisten uiteen worden gezet voor collegiale, beleefde samenwerking op alle projecten die we hosten.

Bepaalde handelingen, ongeacht het feit of ze legaal of illegaal zijn onder het toepasselijk recht, kunnen schadelijk zijn voor andere gebruikers en in strijd zijn met onze regels, en sommige handelingen kunnen er ook toe voeren dat u aansprakelijk wordt gehouden.

::* U moet elke werkgever, klant, beoogd begunstigde en andere relevante verbondenheid bekendmaken bij elke bijdrage waarvoor u een vergoeding ontvangt of verwacht te ontvangen. Dit doet u op een van de volgende manieren:
:::* een verklaring op uw gebruikerspagina,
:::* een verklaring op de overlegpagina bij elke betaalde bijdrage, of
:::* een verklaring in de bewerkingssamenvatting bij de betaalde bijdrage.
::* Als u buiten de Projecten een openbare aankondiging doet waarin u aanbiedt om tegen betaling bewerkingen op Wikipedia uit te voeren, moet u bovendien in die aankondiging alle Wikipedia-accounts openbaar maken die u heeft gebruikt of zult gebruiken voor deze dienstverlening.
::* Toepasselijke wetgeving, of projectspecifiek beleid en beleid en richtlijnen van de Foundation, zoals die met betrekking tot belangenconflicten, kunnen betaalde bijdragen verder beperken of meer gedetailleerde openbaarmaking vereisen. Bijvoorbeeld, het schenden van Wikimedia-handelsmerken (hierna gedefinieerd in sectie 6) om betaalde bewerkingsdiensten te adverteren, het verwijderen van openbaarmakingen bij eerder correct bekendgemaakte betaalde bewerkingen, of het uitvoeren van betaalde bewerkingen terwijl u bent uitgelogd op een manier die adequate openbaarmaking praktisch onmogelijk maakt, is een schending van deze sectie.
::* Een Wikimedia-projectgemeenschap kan een alternatief beleid voor openbaarmaking van betaalde bijdragen aannemen dat deze sectie aanvult of vervangt. Als een Project een alternatief openbaarmakingsbeleid aanneemt, kunt u bij bijdragen aan dat specifieke Project voldoen aan dat beleid in plaats van aan de vereisten in deze sectie (getiteld &quot;Betaalde bijdragen zonder openheid van zaken te geven&quot;).

:: Voor meer informatie over betaald bijdragen leest u alstublieft de [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|veelgestelde vragen]].


Niet-openbaar gemaakte bewerkingen door gebruikers die een vergoeding ontvangen, vormen een onredelijke last voor vrijwillige redacteuren [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|die het beleid van de community onderzoeken en handhaven]]. Daarom stemt u ermee in om u voor schendingen van deze sectie met betrekking tot niet-openbaar gemaakte betaalde bewerkingen te onderwerpen aan bindende &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (een &quot;Bemiddeling van marketingbedrijven&quot;) zoals beschreven in sectie 14 van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden.

We behouden ons het recht voor om onze handhavingsvrijheid uit te oefenen met betrekking tot de bepalingen in sectie 4 van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden. Waar nodig kan de handhaving van deze voorwaarden acties omvatten die niet worden vermeld in de Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. Als handhaving in nieuwe omstandigheden vereist is, zullen we ons binnen maximaal één (1) jaar inspannen om het Office-actiebeleid bij te werken om het nieuwe type actie te catalogiseren.

==5. Wachtwoordbeveiliging==

U bent verantwoordelijk voor het geheim houden van uw eigen wachtwoord met andere beveiligingsgegevens en hoort deze nooit af te geven aan een derde partij.

&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==6. Handelsmerken==

Hoewel u aanzienlijke vrijheid heeft voor het hergebruik van de inhoud van de websites van de Projecten, is het van belang dat we onze handelsmerkrechten bij de Wikimedia Foundation beschermen, zodat we onze gebruikers beschermen tegen frauduleuze imitatie. Daarom vragen we u onze handelsmerken te respecteren. Alle handelsmerken van de Wikimedia Foundation behoren toe aan de Wikimedia Foundation en ieder gebruik van onze handelsnamen, handelsmerken, dienstenmerken, logo's of domeinnamen moet in overeenstemming zijn met deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden en in overeenstemming zijn met ons [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Handelsmerkbeleid]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Licensering van de inhoud==

Om de vrije kennis en vrije cultuur te laten groeien, zijn alle gebruikers die bijdragen aan de projecten of projectwebsites verplicht om brede toestemmingen te verlenen aan het grote publiek om hun bijdragen vrij te herdistribueren en te hergebruiken, zolang dat gebruik op de juiste manier wordt toegeschreven en dezelfde vrijheid om te hergebruiken en te herdistribueren wordt verleend aan afgeleide werken. In overeenstemming met ons doel om gratis informatie te verstrekken aan een zo breed mogelijk publiek, eisen we dat indien nodig alle ingediende inhoud in licentie wordt gegeven, zodat deze vrij herbruikbaar is voor iedereen die er toegang toe heeft.

U gaat akkoord met de volgende licentievoorwaarden:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Teksten waarvan u de auteursrechten bezit''' Als u teksten toevoegt waarvan u de auteursrechten hebt, gaat u akkoord met het vrijgeven daarvan onder de volgende licentie:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), en 
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (zonder versie, zonder invariante secties, front-cover teksten, of back-cover teksten).

Hergebruikers kunnen voldoen aan een van beide licenties of aan beide.&lt;br /&gt;
De enige uitzondering is als de Project-editie of -functie een andere licentie vereist. In dat geval gaat u ermee akkoord om elke tekst die u bijdraagt te licentiëren onder de specifieke licentie die is voorgeschreven door de Projecteditie of de functie.

Houd er rekening mee dat deze licenties commercieel gebruik van uw bijdragen toestaan, zolang dergelijk gebruik voldoet aan de voorwaarden van de respectieve licenties. Wanneer u eigenaar bent van sui generis databaserechten die vallen onder CC BY-SA 4.0, doet u afstand van deze rechten. Dit betekent bijvoorbeeld dat feiten die u bijdraagt aan de projecten vrij kunnen worden hergebruikt zonder naamsvermelding.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Naamsvermelding:''' Naamsvermelding is een belangrijk onderdeel van deze licenties. Wij zien dat als ere wie ere toekomt - aan auteurs zoals uzelf. Als u tekst bijdraagt, gaat u akkoord met naamsvermelding op een van de volgende wijzen:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Via een hyperlink (waar mogelijk) of een URL naar de pagina waaraan u hebt bijgedragen (omdat iedere pagina een geschiedenispagina heeft waarop alle auteurs, bewerkers en bijdragers worden weergegeven);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Via een hyperlink (waar mogelijk) of een URL naar een alternatieve, stabiele online kopie die vrij toegankelijk is, die voldoet aan de relevante licentievoorwaarden, en die wat betreft naamsvermelding van auteurs gelijk is aan de naamsvermelding op de Projectwebsite; of&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Via een lijst met alle auteurs (waarbij iedere lijst met auteurs geschoond mag worden van auteurs met erg kleine of irrelevante bijdragen).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Tekst importeren:''' U mag tekst importeren die u elders hebt gevonden of die u samen met anderen hebt geschreven, maar in dat geval verklaart en garandeert u dat de tekst beschikbaar is onder voorwaarden die compatibel zijn met CC BY-SA (of, zoals hierboven uitgelegd, een andere licentie wanneer dit uitzonderlijk vereist is door de Projecteditie of -functie). Zie [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons] voor een lijst met compatibele licenties. U mag geen inhoud importeren die uitsluitend beschikbaar is onder GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

U gaat ermee akkoord dat als u tekst importeert onder een CC-licentie die naamsvermelding vereist, u de auteur(s) op een redelijke wijze moet vermelden. Waar een dergelijke naamsvermelding gewoonlijk wordt uitgevoerd via een verwijzing naar een geschiedenispagina (zoals bij het binnen Wikimedia kopiëren van teksten), is het voldoende om naamsvermelding te geven in de bewerkingssamenvatting, die bij het importeren van tekst is opgenomen in de paginageschiedenis. De eisen voor naamsvermelding zijn in sommige omstandigheden te opdringerig (onafhankelijk van de licentie), en het is voorstelbaar dat de Wikimedia-gemeenschap om die reden besluit dat tekst niet gebruikt kan worden.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Niet-tekstuele media:''' Niet-tekstuele media op de Projecten zijn beschikbaar onder een verscheidenheid aan licenties die in het algemeen onbeperkt hergebruik en verspreiding toestaan. Wanneer u niet-tekstuele media bijdraagt, gaat u ermee akkoord te voldoen aan de vereisten voor deze licenties, zoals beschreven in ons [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licentiebeleid]], en ook voldoen aan de eisen van de specifieke Projecteditie of de functie waaraan u bijdraagt​​. Zie ook het [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Licentiebeleid van Wikimedia Commons]] voor meer informatie over het bijdragen van niet-tekstuele media aan Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Geen herroeping van de licentie:''' behalve als consistent met uw licentie, gaat u ermee akkoord dat u enige licentie die u onder deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden hebt verleend voor tekst of niet-tekstuele inhoud die u hebt bijgedragen aan de Wikimediaprojecten of functies, niet eenzijdig herroept of tracht ongeldig te laten verklaren, zelfs als u onze diensten niet langer gebruikt.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Inhoud in het publieke domein:''' Inhoud uit het publieke domein is van harte welkom! Het is echter van belang dat u de publieke domein status onder de wetgeving van de Verenigde Staten als ook voor de wetgeving in andere landen bevestigt zoals vereist op de specifieke Projecteditie. Wanneer u inhoud uit het publieke domein bijdraagt, garandeert u dat het materiaal zich daadwerkelijk in het publieke domein bevindt, en gaat u akkoord met het op de correcte wijze daarvan labelen.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Hergebruik:''' Hergebruik van inhoud die we hosten is welkom, ook al bestaan ​​er uitzonderingen voor de inhoud die is bijgedragen ala &quot;fair use&quot; of soortgelijke vrijstellingen van het toepasselijke auteursrecht. Hergebruik moet voldoen aan de onderliggende licentie(s).&lt;br /&gt;

Wanneer u een tekstpagina die is gemaakt door de Wikimediagemeenschap hergebruikt of verspreidt, gaat u akkoord met vermelden van de auteurs op een van de volgende wijzen:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Via een hyperlink (waar mogelijk) of een URL naar de pagina of pagina's die u hergebruikt (omdat iedere pagina een geschiedenispagina heeft waarop alle auteurs, bewerkers en bijdragers worden weergegeven);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Via een hyperlink (waar mogelijk) of een URL naar een alternatieve, stabiele online kopie die vrij toegankelijk is, die voldoet aan de licentievoorwaarden, en die wat betreft naamsvermelding van auteurs gelijk is aan de naamsvermelding op de Projectwebsite; of&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Via een lijst met alle auteurs (waarbij iedere lijst met auteurs geschoond mag worden van auteurs met erg kleine of irrelevante bijdragen).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Als de tekst is gekopieerd vanuit een andere bron, dan is het mogelijk dat die tekst is gelicenseerd onder een compatibele CC-BY-SA-licentie, maar niet GFDL (zoals hierboven beschreven in &quot;Tekst importeren&quot;). In dat geval, gaat u akkoord met het voldoen aan de compatibele licentie CC-BY-SA en kunt u de tekst niet ook licenseren onder de GFDL. Om de licentie te bepalen die van toepassing is voor de tekst die u wilt distribueren of hergebruiken, dient u de voettekst van de pagina te bekijken, als ook de paginageschiedenis en de overlegpagina.

Bent u zich er daarnaast van bewust dat tekst die afkomstig is van externe bronnen en geïmporteerd is in een Project een licentie kan hebben die aanvullende voorwaarden met betrekking tot naamsvermelding kan hebben. Gebruikers gaan ermee akkoord dat deze aanvullende eisen met betrekking tot naamsvermelding duidelijk worden aangegeven. Afhankelijk van het Project, wordt bijvoorbeeld in een banner of op andere wijze aangegeven dat deze eisen betrekking hebben op een deel of de complete inhoud die oorspronkelijk elders gepubliceerd is. Waar dergelijke meldingen zichtbaar zijn, moeten hergebruikers deze behouden.

Voor alle niet-tekstuele media, gaat u akkoord met onder de van toepasselijke licentie waaronder het werk beschikbaar is gemaakt (wat ontdekt kan worden door te klikken op het werk en door te kijken naar de licentieparagraaf op de beschrijvingspagina van het bestand of door de van toepassing zijnde pagina met brontekst voor dat werk te controleren). Al u enige inhoud die wij hosten hergebruikt, gaat u akkoord met het voldoen aan de relevante eisen voor naamsvermelding van de onderliggende licentie of licenties.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Wijzigingen of aanvullingen op materiaal dat u hergebruikt:''' Bij het aanpassen of het maken van toevoegingen aan de tekst die u hebt verkregen van een Project Website, gaat u akkoord met het licenseren van de gewijzigde of toegevoegde inhoud onder de licentie CC-BY-SA 3.0 of een later versie (of, zoals hierboven uiteengezet, een andere licentie wanneer deze in uitzonderlijke gevallen is vereist door de specifieke Projecteditie of een bijzondere functie).&lt;br /&gt;

Bij het aanpassen of het maken van aanvullingen op enige niet-tekstmedia die u hebt verkregen van een Projectwebsite, gaat u akkoord met het licenseren van de gewijzigde of toegevoegde inhoud in overeenstemming met de licentie waaronder het werk ter beschikking is gesteld.&lt;br /&gt;

Voor zowel tekstuele inhoud als niet-tekstuele mediabestanden, gaat u akkoord met de voorwaarde om duidelijk aan te geven dat het werk is aangepast. Als u tekstuele inhoud hergebruikt in een wiki, dan is het voldoende om in de geschiedenispagina aan te geven dat u een wijziging hebt gemaakt. Voor iedere kopie of aangepaste versie die u verspreidt, gaat u akkoord met het opnemen van een licentietekst die aangeeft onder welke licentie het werk beschikbaar is, vergezeld van een hyperlink of een URL naar de tekst van de licentie of een kopie van de licentie zelf.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

De Wikimedia Foundation wil verzekeren dat de inhoud die we hosten hergebruikt kan worden door anderen zonder daarbij angst te hebben aansprakelijk te zijn of inbreuk te maken op de eigendomsrechten van anderen. Wij vinden het fair naar onze gebruikers, als ook naar andere makers en auteursrechtenhouders, dat wij berichten over vermeende overtredingen van de Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) die wij in behandeling nemen. Op grond van de DMCA, zullen wij, in de juiste omstandigheden, gebruikers van ons systeem en het netwerk weren die herhaaldelijk inbreuk maken van onze Projecten en diensten.

We erkennen echter ook dat niet elke verwijderingskennisgeving geldig of te goeder trouw is. In dergelijke gevallen raden we gebruikers ten zeerste aan om tegenmeldingen in te dienen wanneer ze op de juiste manier van mening zijn dat een DMCA-verwijderingsverzoek ongeldig of ongepast is. Voor meer informatie over wat u moet doen als u denkt dat een DMCA-kennisgeving onjuist is ingediend, kunt u de website [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] raadplegen.

Als u de eigenaar bent van inhoud die onjuist wordt gebruikt op een van de Projecten zonder uw toestemming, dan kunt u verzoeken om deze inhoud te laten verwijderen onder de DMCA. Om een dergelijk verzoek in te dienen, kunt u een e-mail sturen naar {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} of u kunt naar [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|onze  aangewezen  vertegenwoordiger]].

Als alternatief kunt u een verzoek richten tot onze gemeenschap, die auteursrechtenkwesties vaak sneller en efficiënter afhandelt dan het proces dat wordt voorgeschreven door de DMCA. In dat geval kunt u een bericht plaatsen waarin u uw zorgen over uw auteursrechten toelicht. U kunt terecht op de pagina [[:m:Copyright problems|Auteursrechtenproblemen]] voor een lijst met relevante processen voor de verschillende Projects, die niet per se compleet of gezaghebbend is. Voordat u een DMCA-claim indient, hebt u ook de mogelijkheid om per e-mail contact op te nemen met de gemeenschap via het e-mailadres {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

{{anchor|9}}

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==9. Websites en bronnen van derde partijen==

U alleen bent verantwoordelijk voor uw gebruik van enige website of bron van een derde partij. Hoewel de Projecten en de Project Websites verwijzingen bevatten naar websites en bronnen van derde partijen, onderschrijven wij deze niet en zijn wij niet verantwoordelijk of aansprakelijk voor de beschikbaarheid, nauwkeurigheid, of de daarmee verband houdende inhoud, producten of diensten (inclusief, zonder beperking, eventuele virussen of andere schadelijke functies), noch hebben we enige verplichting om dergelijke inhoud van derde partijen te monitoren.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Websitebeheer==

De gemeenschap heeft de primaire rol om beleid vast te stellen en af te dwingen in de verschillende Projectedities. Als de Wikimedia Foundation grijpen we zelden in bij genomen gemeenschapsbesluiten over het beleid en de handhaving ervan.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Het is mogelijk om ons op de hoogte te stellen van illegale inhoud of inhoud die onze Gebruiksvoorwaarden schendt (inclusief alle beleidsregels en andere documenten die door verwijzing zijn opgenomen) om andere redenen ([[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|rechtstreeks contact opnemen met ons]]). U kunt echter meestal een verzoek indienen bij de projectgemeenschap: dit kan efficiënter zijn en is meer in overeenstemming met het doel van onze projecten om de gebruikersgemeenschap te versterken.
&lt;/div&gt;


Elk project biedt meestal pagina's voor &quot;Help&quot; of &quot;Contact&quot;  voor verdere begeleiding, of specifieke hulpmiddelen voor het melden van problemen. Als alternatief - bij twijfel - kunt u leden van de gemeenschap om hulp vragen, door een e-mail te sturen naar {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} of een meer taalspecifiek adres van het [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|vrijwilligersresponsteam]]. Houd er rekening mee dat deze mailboxen worden gecontroleerd door gebruikers van de Projecten, niet door de Foundation. Als gevolg hiervan mogen ze niet worden bedreigd of met wettelijke eisen worden opgelegd.

Als u contact opneemt met de Foundation met een probleem, zullen we meestal onderzoeken of en hoe bestaande door de gemeenschap geleide mechanismen dit kunnen onderzoeken en, waar van toepassing, kunnen oplossen.

In een buitengewoon geval kan de behoefte ontstaan ​​of kan de gemeenschap kan ons vragen om een bijzonder problematische gebruiker aan te spreken vanwege aanzienlijke Projectverstoring of schadelijk gedrag. In dergelijke gevallen behouden wij ons het recht voor, maar hebben niet de verplichting om:

* Uw gebruik van het Project of onze services te onderzoeken (a) om te bepalen of een schending van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, Projecteditiebeleid, of andere toepasselijke wetgeving of beleid heeft plaatsgevonden, of (b) om te voldoen aan de toepasselijke wetgeving, wettelijke procedure of een overheidsverzoek;
* Fraude, verkeerde of niet aangetoonde informatie, beveiliging of technische problemen te detecteren, te voorkomen of anders aan te pakken of te reageren op gebruikersverzoeken;
* De toegang tot de bijdragen van enige gebruiker die deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden schendt te weigeren, terug te draaien, uit te schakelen of beperkt toegankelijk te maken;
* Een gebruiker het bewerken of bijdragen onmogelijk te maken door deze te verbannen of de gebruiker te blokkeren of de toegang te ontzeggen wegens handelingen die strijdig zijn met deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, inclusief voor het herhaaldelijk inbreuk maken op auteursrechten;
* Juridische stappen te ondernemen tegen gebruikers in strijd met deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden handelen (inclusief rapportages aan opsporingsdiensten); en
* De projectwebsites te kunnen beheren op een wijze waardoor die correct functioneren mogelijk maakt en de rechten, eigendommen en veiligheid van onszelf en onze gebruikers, licentiehouders, partners en het publiek beschermt.

Deze moderatieactiviteiten kunnen worden geïnformeerd of uitgevoerd door software (zoals overstroming (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) bescherming). In die gevallen is menselijke beoordeling normaal gesproken [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|op verzoek]] beschikbaar.

In het belang van onze gebruikers en de Projecten, in de extreme omstandigheid dat op grond van deze bepaling de toegang tot zijn of haar gebruiker voor enig individu is geblokkeerd, is het voor hem of haar verboden om een andere gebruiker aan te maken op, of te gebruiken op, of toegang te zoeken tot datzelfde Project, tenzij wij daarvoor expliciet toestemming hebben verleend. Zonder het gezag van de gemeenschap te beperken, zal de Wikimedia Foundation geen gebruiker uitsluiten van kunnen bewerken of bijdragen, of een gebruiker blokkeren enkel en alleen vanwege kritiek op het te goeder trouw zijn zonder dat deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden of het beleid van de gemeenschap wordt geschonden.

De Wikimediagemeenschap en haar leden kunnen ook actie ondernemen als dat is toegestaan door beleid dat door de gemeenschap of de Foundation is opgesteld voor de specifieke Projecteditie, inclusief, maar niet beperkt tot, waarschuwen, onderzoeken, blokkeren of verbannen van gebruikers die het beleid schenden. U stemt ermee in te voldoen aan de uiteindelijke besluiten van organen voor geschillenbeslechting die door de gemeenschappen van de specifieke Projectedities zijn ingesteld (zoals arbitragecommissies); deze beslissingen kunnen sancties omvatten die uiteen zijn gezet in het beleid van de specifieke Projectedities.

In het bijzonder problematische gebruikers waarvan gebruikers geblokkeerd of verbannen zijn op meerdere Projectedities kunnen worden onderworpen aan een verbanning van alle Projectedities, in overeenstemming met het [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Beleid Globale verbanningen]]. In tegenstelling tot resoluties van het Bestuur of deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, wordt beleid vastgesteld door de gemeenschap; beleid kan betrekking hebben op één enkele Projecteditie of meerdere Projectedities (zoals het Beleid Globale verbanningen), en kan worden gewijzigd door de betrokken gemeenschap volgens de eigen procedures.

Het blokkeren, verbannen of de toegang ontzeggen van een gebruiker onder deze bepaling vindt plaats in overeenstemming met paragraaf 13 van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden.

Als u van mening bent dat we niet naar tevredenheid hebben gereageerd op een rapport over problematische inhoud, of als u bent onderworpen aan een moderatieactie van de Foundation die u wilt aanvechten, kunt u mogelijk [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|een bezwaar indienen]]. Andere informatie over beroepsmogelijkheden kunnen u op dat moment ook worden uitgelegd of op projectspecifieke helppagina's.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
We behouden ons het recht voor om (tijdelijk of permanent) onze behandeling van meldingen of andere correspondentie van gebruikers of derden op te schorten, hetzij over vermeende illegale of anderszins problematische inhoud of gedrag, of om beroep in te stellen tegen moderatieacties, als dergelijke correspondentie te kwader trouw, repetitief, ongegrond en / of beledigend is gedaan. In de juiste omstandigheden kan uw e-mailadres zelfs worden geblokkeerd op ons e-mailsysteem (en) en u moet dan contact met ons opnemen [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|op ons postadres]] als u tijdens die blokkering verder met ons wilt corresponderen. Voor minder ernstige gevallen (bijvoorbeeld maximaal drie beleefde e-mails over een of meer ongegronde klachten) is dit waarschijnlijk tijdelijk. Frequentere of meer beledigende communicatie leidt eerder tot permanente maatregelen.

&lt;span id=&quot;11._Resolutions_and_Project_Policies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==11. Resoluties en projectbeleid==

Het Bestuur van de Wikimedia Foundation publiceert van tijd tot tijd een [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|officieel beleid]]. Dit beleid kan verplicht zijn voor een bepaald Project of een bepaalde Projecteditie, en in het geval dat het zo is, gaat u ermee akkoord zich daar aan te houden.

== 12. API Voorwaarden ==

We stellen een set API's beschikbaar, waaronder documentatie en bijbehorende hulpmiddelen, om gebruikers in staat te stellen producten te bouwen die vrije kennis bevorderen. Door onze API's te gebruiken, gaat u ermee akkoord zich te houden aan alle toepasselijke beleidsregels die van toepassing zijn op het gebruik van de API's, waaronder maar niet beperkt tot de [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent beleid]], het [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robotbeleid]] en de [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (gezamenlijk &quot;API-documentatie&quot;), die door middel van links in deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden zijn opgenomen.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==13. Beëindiging van deze Overeenkomst==

Hoewel wij hopen dat u blijft en blijft bijdragen aan de Projecten, kunt u te allen tijden ophouden met het gebruiken van onze diensten. In bepaalde (hopelijk onwaarschijnlijke) omstandigheden kan het noodzakelijk zijn voor onszelf of de Wikimediagemeenschap of haar leden (zoals beschreven in Paragraaf 10) om een deel of het geheel van onze diensten te beëindigen, deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden beëindigen, uw gebruik of toegang blokkeren, of u als gebruiker te verbannen. Als uw gebruik of toegang is geblokkeerd of anderszins niet langer bruikbaar is om welke reden dan ook, blijven uw openbare bijdragen openbaar en een overzicht van uw activiteiten op of met betrekking tot de Projecten (inclusief alle correspondentie die u ons hebt gestuurd) wordt niet beïnvloed (afhankelijk van het toepasselijke beleid) en u kunt nog steeds toegang krijgen tot onze openbare pagina's met als enig doel het lezen van openbaar beschikbare inhoud over de Projecten. In dergelijke gevallen is het echter mogelijk dat u niet langer toegang hebt tot uw gebruik of uw instellingen. We behouden onze het recht voor de diensten op enig  moment te beëindigen, met of zonder opgaaf van reden, en met of zonder kennisgeving. Zelfs nadat u de diensten niet langer kunt gebruiken of deelnemen omdat u bent verbannen, geblokkeerd of geschorst, blijven deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden geldig met betrekking tot de relevante onderdelen, inclusief de Paragrafen 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 en 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Gemarkeerd voor nadruk''

We hopen dat er geen ernstige meningsverschillen ontstaan waar u bij betrokken bent, maar in het geval er een geschil ontstaat, raden we u aan tot een oplossing te komen door middel van de geschillenprocedures of -mechanismen te gebruiken die door de Projecten of Projectedities en de Wikimedia Foundation zijn ingesteld. Als u een rechtsvordering tegen ons in wilt dienen, gaat u akkoord met het uitsluitend kunnen indienen en oplossen hiervan in een staats- of federale rechtbank in San Francisco County, Californië, Verenigde Staten. U aanvaardt tevens dat de wetten van de staat Californië en, voor zover van toepassing, de wetten van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika van toepassing zijn op deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, evenals op elke rechtsvordering welke tussen u en ons zou kunnen ontstaan (​​zonder verwijzing naar conflicteren van juridische principes). U stemt ermee in zich te onderwerpen aan de persoonlijke jurisdictie van de rechtbanken in San Francisco County, Californië, Verenigde Staten, en daarmee gaat u akkoord met deze locatie, in elke juridische handeling of procedure met betrekking tot ons of deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Om ervoor te zorgen dat geschillen worden behandeld op het moment dat ze ontstaan, gaat u ermee akkoord dat ongeacht enige wet of verordening die het tegendeel stelt, enige claim of reden voor actie die u mogelijk hebt die voortkomt uit of gerelateerd is aan onze diensten of deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, ingediend moet worden binnen de geldende verjaringstermijn of, als eerder, één (1) jaar na de na de relevante feiten die aan een dergelijke claim of reden tot actie ten grondslag liggen die ontdekt had kunnen worden met een redelijke toewijding (of deze wordt voorgoed uitgesloten).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}

Zoals beschreven in sectie 4 van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, gaat u ermee akkoord om schendingen van de Betaalde Bijdragen zonder Openbaarmaking op te lossen in een Bemiddeling van een Marketingbedrijf naar goeddunken van de Foundation. Marketing Company Mediations zijn '''bindende''' bemiddelingen waarbij, aan het einde van een sessie van een halve of hele dag, alle betwiste items die onopgelost blijven, door de bemiddelaar worden beslist in een juridisch bindende beslissing. Ze zullen worden gehouden in vergaderingen per teleconferentie of videoconferentie. Als een persoonlijke ontmoeting vereist is, vindt de bemiddeling van het marketingbedrijf plaats in San Francisco County, Californië. De partijen zullen alle vergoedingen en kosten in verband met de bemiddeling/arbitrage gelijkelijk verdelen.

U stemt ermee in om, als onderdeel van een bemiddeling door een marketingbedrijf, samen te werken met de Foundation, inclusief door tijdig alle documentatie in uw bezit te verstrekken met betrekking tot uw niet-openbaar gemaakte betaalde bewerkingsactiviteiten, inclusief de gebruikte accounts, betrokken artikelen en klanten die dergelijke diensten hebben gekocht.

Bemiddelingen van marketingbedrijven zijn onderworpen aan en worden beheerst door de Federal Arbitration Act voor zover de bemiddelaar een arbiter wordt. De winnende partij heeft het recht om haar advocatenhonoraria te verhalen (inclusief alle vergoedingen die nodig zijn om de toepasselijkheid van de Marketing Company Mediation te bepalen en het bindende resultaat af te dwingen) en alle kosten met betrekking tot het onderzoek en de handhaving van haar rechten. Een partij kan als &quot;zegevierend&quot; worden beschouwd, zelfs als zij niet bij elke claim in het gelijk wordt gesteld.

Als om wat voor reden dan ook het geheel van deze bemiddelingsvereisten voor marketingbedrijven niet afdwingbaar blijkt te zijn, gaat u ermee akkoord eventuele geschillen op te lossen zoals beschreven in het begin van deze sectie.

==17. Aanpassingen van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden ==

Net als dat de inbreng van de Wikimediagemeenschap essentieel is voor de groei en het onderhoud van de projecten, zijn wij van mening dat de inbreng van de gemeenschap essentieel is om met deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden onze gebruikers goed te bedienen. Het is ook essentieel voor een eerlijk contract. Daarom bieden wij deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden, alsmede aanzienlijke toekomstige herzieningen van deze gebruiksvoorwaarden, aan de gemeenschap aan voor commentaar gedurende ten minste dertig (30) dagen voor het einde van de inspraakperiode. Indien een toekomstige voorgestelde herziening aanzienlijk is, voorzien we opnieuw in een periode van 30 dagen voor opmerkingen na het plaatsen van een vertaling van de voorgestelde herziening in minstens drie talen (door ons geselecteerd). De gemeenschap wordt aangemoedigd om de voorgestelde herziening in andere talen te vertalen waar wenselijk. Voor wijzigingen om juridische of administratieve redenen, om een onjuiste bewering te corrigeren, of wijzigingen in reactie op opmerkingen van de gemeenschap, is er een inspraakperiode van ten minste drie (3) dagen.

Omdat het nodig kan zijn om deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden van tijd tot tijd te wijzigen, zullen wij van dit voornemen van dergelijke wijzigingen kennisgeven en de gelegenheid geven opmerkingen te maken via de Projectwebsites en via een melding op [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. We vragen u ook de meest up-to-date versie van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden regelmatig te beoordelen. Door uw verdere gebruik van onze diensten aanvaardt u de gewijzigde Gebruiksovereenkomst, nadat deze tot stand is gekomen met inachtneming van de kennisgeving en herzieningsperiode. Om de Wikimedia Foundation en andere gebruikers zoals uzelf te beschermen, kunt u geen gebruik maken van onze diensten als u niet akkoord gaat met onze Gebruiksvoorwaarden.

==18. Overige voorwaarden==

Deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden creëren geen arbeidsrelatie, agentschap, partnerschap, freelanceovereenkomst of joint control of joint venture tussen u en ons, de Wikimedia Foundation. Voor de toepassing van de wetgeving van de Europese Economische Ruimte, de wetgeving van het Verenigd Koninkrijk of andere wetten die een soortgelijk concept omvatten, handelt u niet &quot;onder het gezag van&quot; de Foundation wanneer u de diensten gebruikt. Als u geen aparte overeenkomst met ons hebt getekend, zijn deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden de gehele overeenkomst tussen u en ons.

U gaat akkoord met het ontvangen van berichten, inclusief die over wijzigingen aan de Gebruiksvoorwaarden, per e-mail, reguliere post of via berichten op de Projecten en de Projectwebsites.

Deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden zijn oorspronkelijk opgesteld in de Engelse taal (V.S.). Hoewel we hopen dat de vertalingen van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden accuraat zijn, is de Engelstalige versie leidend in het geval er verschillen in de betekenis zijn tussen de originele Engelstalige versie en de vertaling.

Als enige voorziening of deel van een voorziening van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden onwettig, ongeldig of onafdwingbaar wordt bevonden, dan wordt die voorziening of deel van die voorziening als van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden af te zonderen gezien en wordt deze afgedwongen zoveel als mogelijk, en alle overige voorzieningen van deze Gebruiksvoorwaarden blijven volledig in stand.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Nasze Warunki korzystania&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Wyobraź sobie świat, w którym każda osoba ma dostęp do sumy ludzkiej wiedzy. Do tego właśnie dążymy.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Nasza wizja]]

Witaj w projektach Wikimedia! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (dalej: ''my'' lub ''Fundacja'') jest charytatywną organizacją non-profit z siedzibą w San Francisco, której [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|misją]] jest danie ludziom z całego świata narzędzi i zachęcanie ich do tworzenia treści na [[{{lwp|Free content}}|wolnych licencjach]] lub w domenie publicznej i jednocześnie bezpłatne rozpowszechnianie tych treści w sposób skuteczny na światową skalę, za darmo..

Wspierając żywą społeczność projektów, udostępniamy podstawową infrastrukturę i ramy organizacyjne, pozwalające rozwijać wielojęzyczne projekty typu wiki (jak wyjaśnia [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|ten dokument]]), dalej nazywane ''Projektami'', i podejmować inne przedsięwzięcia służące naszej misji. Dążymy do tworzenia i utrzymywania treści edukacyjnych i informacyjnych naszych projektów, dostępnych w Internecie za darmo, na zawsze.

Witamy Ciebie (''użytkownika'') &amp;ndash; czytelnika, edytora lub autora projektów Wikimedia &amp;ndash; i zachęcamy do przyłączenia się do społeczności ruchu Wikimedia. Zanim jednak zaczniesz w niej uczestniczyć, prosimy o przeczytanie i wyrażenie zgody na poniższe Warunki korzystania.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Warunki korzystania mówią o usługach, jakie Wikimedia Foundation oferuje publicznie, o naszych relacjach z użytkownikami oraz o prawach i obowiązkach naszych i użytkowników. Udostępniamy niebotyczne ilości materiałów edukacyjnych i informacyjnych, a wszystko to stanowi wkład właśnie takich użytkowników jak Ty. Sami zazwyczaj nie tworzymy, nie monitorujemy i nie usuwamy treści (z rzadkimi wyjątkami dla wyegzekwowania niniejszych warunków, czy zapewnienia zgodności z postanowieniami prawnymi albo gdy sprowadza to na kogoś groźbę uszczerbku na zdrowiu). Oznacza to, że kontrola nad treścią spoczywa w rękach Twoich i reszty społeczności.

Społeczność – sieć użytkowników, którzy bezustannie budują i wykorzystują Projekty oraz ich strony (dalej ''Strony Projektów'') – jest główną siłą, dzięki której osiągane są cele naszej misji. Społeczność dostarcza zawartość i pomaga zarządzać Projektami i Stronami Projektów. Społeczność spełnia kluczową funkcję tworzenia i egzekwowania zasad poszczególnych projektów (takich jak różne wersje językowe Wikipedii albo wielojęzycznego projektu Wikimedia Commons).

Zapraszamy Ciebie, użytkownika, do przyłączenia się w roli autora lub redaktora. Musisz jednak przestrzegać zasad, obowiązujących w poszczególnych niezależnych wersjach językowych Projektów, włączając w to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Powszechne Zasady Postępowania]], obowiązujące uniwersalnie. Naszym największym projektem jest Wikipedia, lecz hostujemy także wiele innych, różniących się celami i metodami osiągania tych celów. Każda edycja językowa każdego projektu posiada własną społeczność, która tworzy i nadzoruje jej treści. Zapraszamy Cię do dołączenia do tych społeczności i pracy nad rozwojem tych treści. Naszym celem jest wolny dostęp do wiedzy, dlatego twoja twórczość musi być udostępniona na wolnej licencji bądź znajdować się w domenie publicznej.

Musisz mieć świadomość, że za cały swój wkład, zmiany oraz powtórne użycie treści Wikimedia ponosisz odpowiedzialność zgodnie z przepisami prawa Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej oraz innymi właściwymi przepisami prawa (które mogą w szczególności obejmować przepisy prawne obowiązujące w Twoim miejscu zamieszkania bądź w miejscu, gdzie znajduje się podmiot Twojego wkładu). Oznacza to, że musisz dochować należytej staranności przesyłając, edytując oraz wykorzystując zawartość. Z racji tej odpowiedzialności, stosujemy dla dobra Twojego oraz innych użytkowników takich jak Ty, pewne zasady definiujące treści, jakich nie wolno umieszczać w naszych projektach. Pamiętaj, że treści, które udostępniamy, służą wyłącznie ogólnie pojętym celom informacyjnym, zatem jeśli potrzebujesz opinii eksperta na jakiś temat (np. z dziedziny medycyny, prawa, czy finansów), szukaj pomocy odpowiedniego specjalisty. Warunki użytkowania obejmują także inne ważne uwagi oraz wykluczenia odpowiedzialności, prosimy zatem o przeczytanie ich w całości.

Gwoli ścisłości, inne organizacje, takie jak [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|afilianci Wikimedia]] oraz stowarzyszenia, które realizują tę samą misję, są prawnie niezależne i oddzielne od Wikimedia Foundation. Jeśli Fundacja nie zaznaczyła inaczej na Stronie Projektu, pozostałe organizacje nie ponoszą odpowiedzialności za działalność Strony Projektu ani za jej treści.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Usługi ==

Wikimedia Foundation powstała w celu wspierania postępu, rozwoju i dystrybucji otwartych wielojęzycznych treści oraz w celu powszechnego i nieodpłatnego udostępniania pełnych zasobów projektów opartych o mechanizm wiki. Naszą rolą jest udostępnianie wielu największych na świecie, wspólnie redagowanych projektów internetowych – [//www.wikimedia.org można je wszystkie znaleźć tutaj]. Świadczymy jednak jedynie usługę udostępniania (hostingu), utrzymując zaplecze i strukturę organizacyjną, które służą naszym użytkownikom do budowania Projektów poprzez własnoręczne umieszczanie i redagowanie treści, a także ponownego wykorzystania tej zawartości. Utrzymywana przez nas infrastruktura składa się również z wyspecjalizowanych interfejsów, które pozwalają użytkownikom oddziaływać z i wykorzystywać treści Projektów w sposób programowy (zwanych dalej ''Interfejsami Programowania Aplikacji'' lub ''API''), a także aplikacji mobilnych.

Ze względu na tę naszą wyjątkową rolę, należy mieć świadomość pewnych zagadnień odnoszących się do naszych relacji względem Ciebie, projektów i innych użytkowników:

Jak dalej będziemy wspominać w naszych Warunkach Użytkowania, nasze usługi składają się z: [//www.wikimedia.org Stron Projektów, które hostujemy], infrastruktury technicznej, która utrzymujemy oraz każdej innej przestrzeni technicznej, którą utrzymujemy w celu utrzymywania i wzbogacania treści w naszych Projektach.

Ze względu na naszą wyjątkową rolę, należy mieć świadomość pewnych zagadnień odnoszących się do naszych relacji względem Ciebie, projektów i innych użytkowników:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Nie jesteśmy redaktorami:''' Ponieważ projekty Wikimedia są redagowane wspólnie, wszystkie udostępniane przez nas treści są dostarczane przez użytkowników takich jak Ty, a my nie jesteśmy ich redaktorami. Oznacza to, że z zasady nie kontrolujemy i nie redagujemy treści na stronach projektu ani nie bierzemy za nie odpowiedzialności. Nie wspieramy także żadnych opinii wyrażanych za pośrednictwem naszych usług i nie potwierdzamy ani nie gwarantujemy poprawności, dokładności ani rzetelności jakichkolwiek umieszczanych przez społeczność treści. Zapewniamy po prostu dostęp do treści, które umieścili i zredagowali użytkownicy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Ponosisz odpowiedzialność za swoje działania:''' Ponosisz odpowiedzialność prawną za treści i zmiany wniesione przez Ciebie do projektów Wikimedia, jak też za wtórne wykorzystanie przez Ciebie treści tu zawartych; zatem dla własnego dobra zachowaj ostrożność i unikaj umieszczania treści, które mogą być podstawą do wszczęcia postępowania karnego lub cywilnego na mocy jakiegokolwiek obowiązującego prawa. Gwoli ścisłości, obowiązujące prawo oznacza przynajmniej przepisy prawa Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej oraz Stanu Kalifornia; a w przypadku innych krajów jest to ustalane indywidualnie dla każdego przypadku. Chociaż możemy nie zgadzać się z takimi działaniami, ostrzegamy redaktorów i współtwórców, iż władze konkretnego kraju mogą żądać przestrzegania przepisów prawa tego kraju, włączając w to przepisy prawa obowiązujące w Twoim miejscu zamieszkania bądź miejscu, z którego wyświetlasz lub redagujesz zawartość. WMF (Wikimedia Foundation) z zasady nie może zaoferować żadnej ochrony, gwarancji, nietykalności ani odszkodowania.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Zasady zachowania poufności ==

Prosimy Cię o zapoznanie się z naszymi [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|zasadami zachowania poufności]]. Poznasz tam sposób i cel gromadzenia przez nas dotyczących Ciebie informacji.

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Niektóre materiały mogą w Twoim odczuciu być niewłaściwe lub błędne''': Ponieważ udostępniamy szeroki zakres treści, które są tworzone bądź gromadzone przez różnych użytkowników, możesz natknąć się na materiał, który wyda Ci się obraźliwy, błędny, mylący, błędnie oznaczony lub w inny sposób niewłaściwy. Prosimy zatem o zachowanie zdrowego rozsądku i właściwego osądu podczas korzystania z naszych usług.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Treści naszych Projektów służą wyłącznie ogólnie pojmowanym celom informacyjnym:''' Chociaż udostępniamy dużą ilość informacji specjalistycznych, włącznie z zagadnieniami medycznymi, prawnymi czy finansowymi, treści te przedstawione są jedynie w ogólnie pojętych celach informacyjnych. Nie powinny one być uznawane za profesjonalną poradę. Nie należy podejmować żadnych działań kierując się jakąkolwiek informacją, opinią czy poradą umieszczoną na jednej ze stron projektu, a w razie potrzeby należy zwrócić się z prośbą o fachową poradę do osoby posiadającej uprawnienia lub wykształcenie w danej dziadzinie.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Powstrzymywanie się od określonych działań ==

Projekty udostępniane przez Wikimedia Foundation istnieją wyłącznie dzięki tętniącej życiem społeczności użytkowników takich jak Ty, którzy współpracują przy pisaniu, redagowaniu i nadzorowaniu treści. Z radością przyjmujemy Twoje uczestnictwo w tej społeczności. Zachęcamy do uprzejmego zachowania w konwersacjach z innymi członkami społeczności, działania w dobrej wierze oraz do redagowania i umieszczania treści zgodnie z celami misji Projektu. Zachęcamy użytkowników do zapoznania się z [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Powszechnymi Zasadami Postępowania]] (PZP), które stanowią podstawowe wymagania współpracy w atmosferze uprzejmości we wszystkich naszych Projektach.

Niektóre działania, legalne bądź nielegalne w świetle obowiązującego prawa, mogą być szkodliwe dla innych użytkowników i naruszać nasze zasady, niektóre działania mogą też spowodować pociągnięcie Cię do odpowiedzialności.

: '''Nieujawnione odpłatne edycje treści'''

::*jesteś zobowiązany/-a do ujawnienia swojego pracodawcy, klienta, zamierzonego beneficjenta lub reprezentowany podmiot w odniesieniu do każdego wkładu (wprowadzonych treści), za który otrzymujesz lub spodziewasz się otrzymać wynagrodzenie. Jesteś zobowiązany do ujawnienia swoich powiązań na co najmniej jeden z poniższych sposobów:
::*informacja na Twojej stronie użytkownika;
::*informacja na stronie dyskusji towarzysząca każdej odpłatnej edycji;
::*informacja w opisie zmian towarzysząca każdej odpłatnej edycji.
::* ponadto, jeśli zamieszczasz poza Projektami publiczne posty reklamujące usługi edycji w Wikipedii w zamian za jakiekolwiek wynagrodzenie, musisz ujawnić wszystkie konta użytkownika Wikipedii, których używasz lub będziesz używać do tej usługi w publicznym poście w serwisie strony trzeciej.
::*właściwe prawo lub zasady i rekomendacje społeczności i Fundacji (np. odnoszące się do rozwiązywania konfliktów interesów) mogą w przyszłości ograniczać możliwość wprowadzania treści za wynagrodzeniem albo wymagać ujawnienia bardziej szczegółowych informacji. Dla przykładu, naruszeniami takimi mogą być naruszenia w stosunku do znaków handlowych Wikimedia, o których więcej w części 6, do reklamowania płatnego edytowania, usuwanie oświadczeń o płatnym edytowaniu na poprzednio prawidłowo oznaczonych nimi stronach, czy edytowanie za wynagrodzeniem z poziomu użytkownika niezalogowanego, co sprawia, że odpowiednie opisanie faktu płatnego edytowania jest w praktyce niemożliwe.
::*Społeczność projektu Wikimedia może przyjąć alternatywne zasady ujawniania informacji o płatnym edytowaniu, które mogą uzupełniać lub zastępować niniejszą sekcję. Jeśli projekt przyjmie alternatywne zasady ujawniania informacji, możesz przestrzegać tych zasad zamiast wymogów określonych w niniejszej sekcji (zatytułowanej &quot;Nieujawnione odpłatne edycje treści&quot;) podczas wnoszenia wkładu do tego konkretnego Projektu.

Nieujawniona edycja przez użytkowników otrzymujących wynagrodzenie stwarza nieuzasadnione obciążenie dla redaktorów-wolontariuszy [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|którzy badają i egzekwują zasady społeczności]]. W związku z tym, w przypadku naruszeń niniejszej sekcji związanych z nieujawnioną płatną edycją, użytkownik wyraża zgodę na poddanie się wiążącej &quot;mediacji z firmami marketingowymi&quot; (&quot;Med-Arb&quot;), jak opisano w sekcji 14 niniejszych Warunków korzystania.

Zastrzegamy sobie prawo do egzekwowania postanowień sekcji 4 niniejszych Warunków korzystania. Tam, gdzie jest to wymagane, egzekwowanie tych warunków może obejmować działania niewymienione w [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]] Wikimedia Foundation. W przypadku konieczności egzekwowania postanowień w nowych okolicznościach, Wikimedia Foundation dołoży starań, aby w ciągu co najwyżej jednego (1) roku zaktualizować Zasady dotyczące działań biurowych (Office Action Policy) w celu skatalogowania nowego rodzaju działań.

== 6. Znaki handlowe ==

Chociaż oferujemy znaczną swobodę w przetwarzaniu treści zawartych na stronach projektu, zastrzeżenie praw do znaków towarowych Wikimedia Foundation ma istotne znaczenie dla ochrony naszych użytkowników przed podszywającymi się pod nas nieuczciwymi naśladowcami. Właśnie z tego powodu prosimy Cię o uszanowanie naszych znaków handlowych. Wszelkie znaki handlowe Wikimedia Foundation są własnością Wikimedia Foundation. Jakiekolwiek korzystanie z naszych nazw handlowych, znaków handlowych, znaków usługowych, logotypów lub nazw domen musi odbywać się zgodnie z niniejszymi warunkami korzystania oraz naszymi zasadami [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|używania znaków handlowych]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Licencjonowanie treści==

Aby rozwijać wspólnotę wolnej wiedzy i kultury, wszyscy użytkownicy mający swój wkład w projekty są zobowiązani do udzielania ogólnego i powszechnego zezwolenia na swobodną redystrybucję i dowolne przetwarzanie umieszczonych przez nich treści pod warunkiem, że dalsze użytkowanie będzie uwzględniać informacje o autorstwie, a wszelkie dzieła pochodne będą objęte takim samym zezwoleniem na swobodną redystrybucję i dowolne przetwarzanie. Zgodnie z naszym celem, zakładającym dostarczanie otwartych informacji do najszerszej rzeszy odbiorców, wymagamy, tam gdzie jest to konieczne, udzielania licencji na wszystkie umieszczane treści, aby mogły być one swobodnie przetwarzane przez wszystkie osoby mające do nich dostęp.

Wyrażasz zgodę na następujące wymogi dotyczące licencjonowania:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Tekst, do którego masz prawa autorskie:''' Umieszczając tekst, do którego masz prawa autorskie, udzielasz licencji zgodnie z:
* licencją [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Uznanie autorstwa-Na tych samych warunkach 4.0 Międzynarodowa] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), oraz
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (dowolna wersja, bez części niezmiennej, tekstów początkowych i tekstów końcowych).

Osoby korzystające z treści objętych tymi licencjami mogą je skorzystać z dowolnej z nich lub obu.&lt;br /&gt;
Jedynym wyjątkiem jest sytuacja, gdy dla wersji lub fragmentu projektu wymagana jest inna licencja. W takim przypadku udzielasz pozwolenia na użytkowanie umieszczonego tekstu na mocy tej konkretnej licencji.

Weź pod uwagę, że te licencje zezwalają na komercyjne użytkowanie umieszczonych przez Ciebie treści, o ile to wykorzystanie jest zgodne z warunkami licencji. W przypadku posiadania praw do bazy danych Sui Generis objętych CC BY-SA 4.0, użytkownik zrzeka się tych praw. Oznacza to na przykład, że edycje, które użytkownik wnosi do Projektów, mogą być swobodnie wykorzystywane bez podawania źródła.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Uznanie autorstwa:''' Uznanie autorstwa jest istotną częścią licencji. Uważamy, że jest to oddanie autorom takim jak Ty należnych im honorów. Gdy umieszczasz tekst, godzisz się na podanie autorstwa w jednej z wymienionych form:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Poprzez hiperłącze (tam, gdzie to możliwe) lub adres URL do artykułu, w którym masz swój wkład (ponieważ każdy artykuł ma historię strony wyszczególniającą wszystkich współpracowników, autorów i redaktorów).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Poprzez hiperłącze (tam, gdzie jest to możliwe) lub adres URL do alternatywnej, ogólnodostępnej, stabilnej kopii zgodnej z licencją, która uwzględnia autorów w sposób zbliżony do stron projektu; lub&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Na liście autorów (miej na uwadze, że może być filtrowana w celu wykluczenia bardzo małego lub nieistotnego wkładu).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importowanie tekstu:''' Możesz importować tekst znaleziony w innym źródle lub pisany wspólnie z innymi autorami, ale w takim przypadku zaświadczasz, że tekst jest udostępniany zgodnie z warunkami licencji CC BY-SA w wersji 3.0 (lub, jak wyjaśniono wyżej, innej licencji, jeśli jest wymagana dla edycji lub fragmentu Projektu). Lista kompatybilnych licencji znajduje się pod adresem [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Nie wolno importować treści opublikowanych wyłącznie na licencji GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Importując tekst na licencji CC wymagający uznania autorstwa, zobowiązujesz się do właściwego podania danych autora/-ów. Jeśli informacja o twórcach jest ogólnie dostępna w historii strony (np. przy kopiowaniu wewnętrznym między projektami Wikimedia), podczas importowania tekstu wystarczy podać autorstwo w opisie edycji, który jest zapisywany w historii strony przy importowaniu tekstu. Wymogi uznawania autorstwa są czasem zbyt niestosowne w określonych okolicznościach (niezależnie od licencji) i mogą zaistnieć przypadki, w których społeczność Wikimedia zadecyduje, że importowany tekst nie może być z tego powodu użyty.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Media nietekstowe:''' Zasoby nietekstowe są dostępne w Projektach na podstawie wielu licencji, które wspierają ogólny cel nieograniczonego ponownego wykorzystania mediów i ich redystrybucji. Umieszczając nietekstowe zasoby, wyrażasz zgodę na stosowanie się do wymogów licencji opisanych w naszych [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|zasadach licencjonowania]] oraz przestrzeganie wymogów określonej wersji lub fragmentu Projektu, w którym umieszczasz swoje treści. Przeczytaj też [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|zasady licencjonowania w Wikimedia Commons]], aby uzyskać więcej informacji o umieszczaniu nietekstowych zasobów w owym projekcie.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Zakaz cofnięcia licencji:''' Z wyjątkiem sytuacji określonych w licencji, oświadczasz, że nie cofniesz jednostronnie licencji ani nie będziesz dążyć do unieważnienia jakiejkolwiek licencji, przyznanej zgodnie z Warunkami korzystania, na zawartość tekstową lub nietekstowe zasoby umieszczane w projektach Wikimedia lub ich fragmentach, nawet gdy zakończysz korzystanie z naszych usług.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Treści będące w domenie publicznej''': Zachęcamy do dodawania treści będących w domenie publicznej. Ważne jest jednak potwierdzenie, iż zawartość jest uznawana za należącą do domeny publicznej zgodnie z prawem Stanów Zjednoczonych, jak również przepisami prawa innych krajów, zgodnie z wymaganiami określonej wersji Projektu. Umieszczając treści znajdujące się w domenie publicznej potwierdzasz, że dany materiał faktycznie znajduje się w domenie publicznej i zgadzasz się go odpowiednio oznakować.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ponowne wykorzystanie:''' Chętnie widzimy przetwarzanie udostępnianych przez nas treści, chociaż istnieją wyjątki w postaci treści objętych „dozwolonym użytkiem” lub podobnymi wyłączeniami w prawie autorskim. Wszelkie przetwarzanie musi odbywać się zgodnie z licencjami, na których udostępniono dany materiał.&lt;br /&gt;

Gdy przetwarzasz lub dokonujesz redystrybucji strony tekstowej opracowanej przez społeczność Wikimedia, zgadzasz się uznać autorstwo w dowolnej z wymienionych form:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Poprzez hiperłącze (tam, gdzie to możliwe) lub adres URL do wykorzystywanej strony lub stron (ponieważ każda strona ma historię strony wyszczególniającą wszystkich autorów i redaktorów),&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Poprzez hiperłącze (tam, gdzie to możliwe) lub adres URL do alternatywnej, ogólnodostępnej, stabilnej kopii online zgodnej z licencją, która uwzględnia autorów w sposób zbliżony do stron Projektu; lub&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Poprzez hiperłącze (tam, gdzie to możliwe) lub adres URL do alternatywnej, ogólnodostępnej, stabilnej kopii zgodnej z licencją, która uwzględnia autorów w sposób zbliżony do stron projektu, lub&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Jeśli zawartość tekstowa została zaimportowana z innego źródła, istnieje możliwość, że jest objęta licencją zgodną z licencją CC BY-SA, ale nie GFDL (jak opisano w części „Importowanie tekstu” powyżej). W takim przypadku wyrażasz zgodę na stosowanie się do warunków licencji CC BY-SA i nie masz możliwości ponownego udzielenia licencji na zasadach GFDL. Aby określić licencję mającą zastosowanie do treści, które chcesz przetwarzać lub redystrybuować, sprawdź stopkę strony, historię strony oraz stronę dyskusyjną.

Miej dodatkowo świadomość, że tekst pochodzący z zewnętrznego źródła i importowany do Projektu może być objęty licencją określającą dodatkowe wymogi w zakresie uznania autorstwa. Użytkownicy wyrażają zgodę na czytelne podanie dodatkowych wymogów dotyczących uznania autorstwa. W zależności od Projektu takie wymogi mogą obejmować bannery lub inne formy zwracające uwagę na fakt, że część lub całość treści została pierwotnie opublikowana w innym miejscu. Gdy istnieją takie wizualne oznaczenia, przetwarzający zobowiązani są do ich zachowania.

W przypadku zasobów nietekstowych, wyrażasz zgodę na stosowanie się do wszelkich licencji, zgodnie z którymi udostępniono dany materiał (które można znaleźć, klikając na niego i przechodząc do sekcji dotyczącej licencjonowania umieszczonej na stronie opisowej lub przeglądając stronę źródłową danego materiału). Ponownie wykorzystując udostępniane przez nas treści, wyrażasz zgodę na stosowanie się do właściwych wymogów uznawania autorstwa, wynikających z bazowej/bazowych licencji.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Zmiany lub uzupełnienia przetwarzanego materiału''': Wprowadzając zmiany lub uzupełnienia tekstu pozyskanego ze strony Projektu, wyrażasz zgodę na udzielenie licencji na zmodyfikowaną lub uzupełnioną treść zgodnie z licencją CC BY-SA w wersji 3.0 lub późniejszej (lub, jak wyjaśniono wyżej, zgodnie z inną licencją, którą w ramach wyjątku objęta jest określona wersja lub określony fragment projektu).&lt;br /&gt;

Wprowadzając zmiany lub uzupełnienia nietekstowych środków przekazu uzyskanych ze strony projektu, wyrażasz zgodę na udzielenie licencji na zmodyfikowaną lub uzupełnioną treść zgodnie z licencją, na podstawie której udostępniono materiał.&lt;br /&gt;

Zarówno w przypadku zawartości tekstowej, jak i zasobów nietekstowych, zgadzasz się wyraźnie poinformować, że oryginalny materiał został zmieniony. Jeśli ponownie używasz jakiegoś tekstu w serwisie wiki, wystarczy podać w historii strony, że wprowadzono w importowanym tekście zmiany. W każdej kopii lub zmienionej wersji, którą rozpowszechniasz, zgadzasz się zamieścić notę licencyjną wskazującą, jaką licencją objęty jest opublikowany materiał, oraz zawierającą hiperłącze lub adres URL do tekstu licencji lub samego egzemplarza licencji.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation dąży do zapewnienia, że udostępniane przez nią treści mogą być wykorzystywane przez innych użytkowników bez ryzyka ponoszenia odpowiedzialności prawnej oraz że nie naruszają one niczyich praw własności. Ze względu na uczciwość zarówno w stosunku do naszych użytkowników, jak i innych twórców i posiadaczy praw autorskich, naszą zasadą jest reagowanie na zawiadomienia o domniemanych naruszeniach, które spełniają wymogi formalne ustawy Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Na mocy DMCA w stosownych okolicznościach cofniemy dostęp użytkownikom oraz posiadaczom kont korzystającym z naszego systemu i sieci, gdy wielokrotnie naruszą zasady naszych Projektów.

Mamy jednak świadomość, że nie każde żądanie usunięcia treści jest uzasadnione lub składane w dobrej wierze. Dlatego gorąco zachęcamy użytkowników, którzy mają uzasadnione przekonanie, że żądanie zamknięcia dostępu w myśl DMCA jest niesłuszne lub niestosowne, do składania kontrzawiadomień. Więcej informacji na temat działań, które można podjąć w razie nieprawidłowo złożonego zawiadomienia DMCA, znajdziesz na stronie internetowej [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Jeśli jesteś właścicielem praw do treści, które zostały bez Twojej zgody nieodpowiednio wykorzystane w jednym z naszych Projektów, zgodnie z ustawą DMCA możesz zażądać usunięcia tych treści. Aby złożyć takie żądanie, wyślij wiadomość e-mail pod adres {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} lub tradycyjną pocztą do naszego wyznaczonego przedstawiciela na ten [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|adres]].

Możesz również zwrócić się do naszej społeczności, która często rozwiązuje problemy dotyczące praw autorskich szybciej oraz bardziej efektywnie niż w procesie z udziałem ustawy DMCA. W takim przypadku możesz opublikować zawiadomienie wyjaśniające Twoje zastrzeżenia związane z prawami autorskimi. W celu uzyskania wglądu w otwarty i nieoficjalny wykaz procesów właściwych dla różnych wersji projektu zajrzyj [[:m:Copyright problems|tutaj]]. Zanim złożysz roszczenie w oparciu o ustawę DMCA, możesz również wysłać wiadomość e-mail do społeczności na adres {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 9. Strony internetowe i zasoby osób trzecich ==

Ponosisz wyłączną odpowiedzialność za korzystanie z wszelkich stron internetowych i zasobów należących do osób trzecich. Chociaż Projekty zawierają łącza do stron internetowych i zasobów osób trzecich, nie zachęcamy do korzystania z nich ani nie ponosimy odpowiedzialności za ich dostępność, dokładność oraz zamieszczane na nich treści, produkty lub usługi (w tym między innymi wirusy lub inne szkodliwe elementy). Nie mamy również obowiązku kontrolowania treści należących do osób trzecich.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Zarządzanie serwisami internetowymi ==

Główną rolę w tworzeniu i egzekwowaniu zasad mających zastosowanie do różnych wersji Projektu odgrywa jego społeczność. Wikimedia Foundation rzadko ingeruje w decyzje społeczności, które dotyczą zasad i ich egzekwowania.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Możliwe jest powiadomienie nas o nielegalnych treściach lub treściach naruszających nasze Warunki korzystania (w tym wszystkie zasady i inne dokumenty włączone przez odniesienie) z innych powodów [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|poprzez bezpośredni kontakt z nami]]. Zazwyczaj można jednak złożyć wniosek bezpośrednio do społeczności Projektu: może to być bardziej skuteczne i jest to bardziej zgodne z celem naszych Projektów, jakim jest wzmocnienie pozycji społeczności użytkowników.
&lt;/div&gt;


Każdy Projekt zazwyczaj udostępnia strony &quot;Pomoc&quot; lub &quot;Kontakt&quot; w celu uzyskania przez odwiedzających dalszych wskazówek lub konkretnych narzędzi do zgłaszania problemów. Alternatywnie - jeśli masz wątpliwości - możesz poprosić członków społeczności o pomoc, wysyłając wiadomość e-mail na adres {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} lub bardziej specyficzny dla języka adres ze strony [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]]. Należy pamiętać, że te skrzynki pocztowe są monitorowane przez użytkowników Projektów, a nie przez Fundację. W związku z tym nie należy im grozić ani wysyłać żądań prawnych.

Jeśli skontaktujesz się z Fundacją w sprawie problemu, zazwyczaj zbadamy, czy i w jaki sposób istniejące mechanizmy społecznościowe mogą go zbadać i, w stosownych przypadkach, rozwiązać.

W wyjątkowych przypadkach może zaistnieć potrzeba zajęcia się szczególnie problematycznym użytkownikiem lub szczególnie problematyczną treścią z powodu znacznego zakłócenia Projektu lub niebezpiecznego zachowania. O taką pomoc może też poprosić społeczność Projektu. W takich przypadkach zastrzegamy sobie prawo, według własnego uznania (lub gdy jest to prawnie wymagane), do:

* Sprawdzenia Twojego sposobu korzystania z naszych Projektów lub usług (a) w celu określenia, czy doszło do naruszenia niniejszych Warunków korzystania, zasad danej wersji Projektu lub innych obowiązujących praw bądź reguł, lub (b) w celu zachowania zgodności z przepisami obowiązującego prawa, nakazami postępowania sądowego lub odpowiednimi zaleceniami rządowymi.
* Wykrywania oszustw, naruszeń bezpieczeństwa bądź problemów technicznych i zapobiegania im lub reagowania na nie w inny sposób oraz reagowania na prośby o wsparcie wystosowane przez użytkowników.
* Odmówienia, cofnięcia lub ograniczenia możliwości umieszczania treści każdemu użytkownikowi naruszającemu niniejsze warunki korzystania.
* Uniemożliwienia użytkownikowi edytowania, umieszczania treści lub zablokowania konta użytkownika bądź dostępu ze względu na działania naruszające niniejsze warunki korzystania, między innymi z powodu umieszczania materiałów naruszających prawo.
* Wystąpienie na drogę sądową przeciwko użytkownikom naruszającym niniejsze warunki korzystania (w tym powiadomienia organów ścigania) oraz
* Podejmowania w odniesieniu do internetowych stron projektu innych działań, które usprawniają ich funkcjonowanie oraz chronią prawo, własność i bezpieczeństwo nasze, naszych użytkowników, licencjodawców, partnerów i społeczeństwa.

Te działania moderacyjne Fundacji mogą być zapośredniczane lub wykonywane przez oprogramowanie (takie jak ochrona przed zalaniem ruchem (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;)). W takich przypadkach zwykle dostępna jest weryfikacja przez człowieka, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na żądanie]].

W interesie naszych użytkowników i Projektów, w skrajnym przypadku zablokowania konta lub dostępu jakiejkolwiek osoby na mocy niniejszej sekcji, zabrania się tej osobie tworzenia lub korzystania z innego konta w tym samym Projekcie lub ubiegania się o dostęp do niego, chyba że udzielimy na to wyraźnej zgody. Nie ograniczając uprawnień społeczności, sama Fundacja nie zabroni użytkownikowi edytowania lub wnoszenia wkładu ani nie zablokuje konta lub dostępu użytkownika wyłącznie z powodu krytyki w dobrej wierze, która nie skutkuje działaniami w inny sposób naruszającymi niniejsze Warunki użytkowania lub zasady społeczności.

Gdy jest to dozwolone obowiązującymi dla określonej wersji projektu zasadami społeczności lub Wikimedia Foundation, społeczność Wikimedia i jej członkowie mogą również podejmować działania, w tym między innymi ostrzeganie, śledzenie, blokowanie lub wykluczanie użytkowników naruszających te zasady. Wyrażasz zgodę na stosowanie się do końcowych decyzji organów powołanych do rozstrzygania sporów, które zostały ustanowione dla określonych wersji projektu (takich jak komisje arbitrażowe). Decyzje te mogą obejmować sankcje określone w zasadach danej wersji projektu.

Wyjątkowo kłopotliwi użytkownicy, których konta lub dostęp zostały zablokowane w wielu wersjach projektu, mogą zostać wykluczeni z wszystkich innych wersji projektu zgodnie z [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|zasadami globalnego wykluczenia]]. W odróżnieniu od postanowień Rady oraz niniejszych warunków korzystania, zasady ustanowione przez społeczność, dotyczące pojedynczej lub wielu wersji projektu (jak zasady globalnego wykluczenia), mogą zostać zmienione przez ustanawiającą je społeczność zgodnie z obowiązującymi procedurami.

Zablokowanie konta lub dostępu użytkownika bądź wykluczenie użytkownika zgodnie z tym postanowieniem powinno odbywać się według punktu 13. niniejszych Warunków korzystania.

Jeśli uważasz, że nie podjęliśmy satysfakcjonujących działań w związku ze zgłoszeniem problematycznej zawartości lub jeśli zostałeś/-aś poddany/-a działaniom moderacyjnym Fundacji, które chcesz zakwestionować, możesz [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|przesłać odwołanie]]. Inne informacje o ścieżkach odwoławczych mogą być również udostępniane doraźnie lub na stronach pomocy poszczególnych Projektów.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Zastrzegamy sobie prawo do zawieszenia (tymczasowo lub na stałe) naszej obsługi zgłoszeń lub innej korespondencji od użytkowników lub stron trzecich, dotyczącej rzekomo nielegalnych lub w inny sposób problematycznych treści lub zachowań, lub żądania odwołania się od działań moderacyjnych, jeśli taka korespondencja została złożona w złej wierze, jest powtarzalna, bezpodstawna i/lub obraźliwa. W odpowiednich okolicznościach adres e-mail użytkownika może nawet zostać zablokowany w naszym systemie poczty elektronicznej, a użytkownik będzie musiał skontaktować się z nami [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|pod naszym adresem pocztowym]], jeśli będzie chciał prowadzić z nami dalszą korespondencję podczas blokady. W mniej poważnych przypadkach (np. do trzech uprzejmych wiadomości e-mail dotyczących jednej lub więcej bezzasadnych skarg), będzie to prawdopodobnie tymczasowe. Częstsze lub bardziej obraźliwe komunikaty z większym prawdopodobieństwem doprowadzą do zastosowania stałych środków.

Rada powiernicza Wikimedia Foundation publikuje co jakiś czas [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|oficjalne zasady]]. Niektóre z tych zasad mogą być obligatoryjne dla określonego Projektu lub jego wersji, w takim przypadku wyrażasz zgodę na przestrzeganie ich w formie, w której obowiązują.

Udostępniamy zestaw interfejsów API, które obejmują dokumentację i powiązane narzędzia, aby umożliwić użytkownikom tworzenie produktów promujących wolną wiedzę. Korzystając z naszych interfejsów API, użytkownik zgadza się przestrzegać wszystkich obowiązujących zasad regulujących korzystanie z interfejsów API, w tym między innymi [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]] (zasad dotyczących przeglądarek) , [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]] (zasad botów) i [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] - etykiety.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Zaprzestanie korzystania z usług ==

Pomimo tego, że wierzymy, że zostaniesz z nami i będziesz umieszczać treści w Projekcie, możesz w dowolnym momencie przerwać korzystanie z naszych usług. W pewnych (miejmy nadzieję, że nieczęstych) okolicznościach Wikimedia Foundation, społeczność Wikimedia lub jej członkowie (jak opisano w punkcie 10) mogą być zmuszeni do przerwania świadczenia części lub wszystkich naszych usług, rozwiązania niniejszych Warunków korzystania, zablokowania Twojego konta bądź dostępu lub wykluczenia Cię jako użytkownika. Jeśli Twoje konto lub dostęp są zablokowane lub w inny sposób zawieszone z jakiegokolwiek powodu, opublikowane przez Ciebie treści pozostaną ogólnodostępne (zgodnie z obowiązującymi zasadami), a Ty wciąż będziesz dysponować dostępem do stron publicznych pozwalającym na czytanie ogólnodostępnych treści Projektu, o ile nie powiadomimy Cię, że jest inaczej. W takich okolicznościach nie będziesz jednak mógł/mogła uzyskać dostępu do swojego konta oraz jego ustawień. Zastrzegamy sobie prawo do zawieszenia lub zakończenia świadczenia usług w dowolnym czasie, z podaniem przyczyny lub bez jej podawania, za powiadomieniem lub bez niego. Jednak nawet w przypadku wykluczenia, zablokowania lub zawieszenia użytkowania oraz uczestnictwa, stosowne postanowienia niniejszych warunków korzystania pozostaną w mocy, w tym punkty 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-15, oraz 17.

Mamy nadzieję, że nie dojdzie do nieporozumień z Twoim udziałem, ale jeśli miałoby dojść do sporu, zachęcamy do szukania rozwiązań za pośrednictwem procedur lub mechanizmów służących do rozstrzygania sporów w obrębie projektu lub jego wersji oraz Wikimedia Foundation. Jeśli chcesz złożyć roszczenie prawne skierowane przeciw nam, wyrażasz zgodę na złożenie oraz rozstrzygnięcie go wyłącznie w sądzie stanowym lub federalnym na terenie hrabstwa San Francisco w Kalifornii. Wyrażasz również zgodę na to, że niniejsze warunki korzystania, jak również każde roszczenie prawne między Tobą a nami regulują przepisy prawa stanu Kalifornia oraz, w zakresie, w jakim znajdują zastosowanie, przepisy prawa Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej (bez powoływania się na przepisy dotyczące konfliktu praw). W razie jakichkolwiek działań prawnych lub postępowań sądowych związanych z nami lub niniejszymi warunkami korzystania wyrażasz zgodę na poddanie się jurysdykcji i uznanie właściwości terytorialnej sądów zlokalizowanych w hrabstwie San Francisco w Kalifornii.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Aby zapewnić rozpatrywanie sporów wkrótce po ich zgłoszeniu, wyrażasz zgodę na to, że niezależnie od wszelkich ustaw i inaczej stanowiących przepisów, jakiekolwiek roszczenie lub działania będące podstawą roszczenia związane z korzystaniem z naszych usług bądź niniejszymi warunkami korzystania musi zostać wniesione w okresie wyznaczonym do składania wniosków lub, jeśli zachodzi wcześniejsza sytuacja, jeden (1) rok od możliwości wykrycia, przy działaniu z należytą starannością, istotnych faktów leżących u podstaw takiego roszczenia bądź podstawy roszczenia (w przeciwnym wypadku ulegną one przedawnieniu).

== 17. Zmiany niniejszych warunków użytkowania ==

Jesteśmy przekonani, że tak jak w przypadku rozwoju i ulepszania projektów, zaangażowanie społeczności Wikimedia ma kluczowe znaczenie, jeśli chcemy mieć pewność, że niniejsze warunki korzystania będą właściwie służyły naszym użytkownikom. Zaangażowanie społeczności jest również niezbędne do zawarcia uczciwej umowy. Z tego powodu przedstawimy społeczności niniejsze warunki korzystania, jak również wszelkie istotne przyszłe zmiany dotyczące niniejszych warunków korzystania co najmniej trzydzieści (30) dni przed zakończeniem okresu wyznaczonego na udzielenie komentarzy, aby społeczność mogła je zgłaszać. Jeżeli przyszła proponowana zmiana jest istotna, zapewnimy dodatkowe 30 dni na udzielanie komentarzy po udostępnieniu tłumaczenia proponowanej zmiany w co najmniej trzech językach (wybranych według naszego uznania). Będziemy zachęcać społeczność do przetłumaczenia proponowanej zmiany na inne języki. W przypadku zmian wymagających skorygowania nieprawidłowego oświadczenia z przyczyn prawnych lub administracyjnych lub w przypadku zmian wprowadzanych w odpowiedzi na komentarze udzielane przez społeczność dostarczymy powiadomienie z co najmniej trzydniowym (3) wyprzedzeniem.

Ponieważ od czasu do czasu może być konieczna modyfikacja niniejszych Warunków korzystania, powiadomimy o takich modyfikacjach i zapewnimy możliwość ich skomentowania za pośrednictwem stron internetowych Projektu oraz za pośrednictwem powiadomienia na stronie [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Prosimy jednak o okresowe zapoznawanie się z najbardziej aktualną wersją niniejszych Warunków. Dalsze korzystanie z naszych usług po tym, jak nowe Warunki staną się oficjalne po okresie powiadomienia i przeglądu, stanowi akceptację niniejszych Warunków korzystania z Twojej strony. W celu ochrony Wikimedia Foundation i innych użytkowników, takich jak Ty, jeśli nie zgadzasz się z naszymi Warunkami korzystania, nie możesz korzystać z naszych usług.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Inne warunki ==

Niniejsze Warunki korzystania nie tworzą stosunku pracy, pośrednictwa, partnerstwa, współkontroli ani spółki joint venture między użytkownikiem a Wikimedia Foundation. Dla celów prawa Europejskiego Obszaru Gospodarczego, prawa Zjednoczonego Królestwa lub innych praw, które zawierają podobną koncepcję, użytkownik nie działa &quot;z upoważnienia&quot; Fundacji podczas korzystania z usług. Jeśli użytkownik nie podpisał z nami odrębnej umowy, niniejsze Warunki korzystania stanowią całość umowy między użytkownikiem a nami. W przypadku sprzeczności między niniejszymi Warunkami Użytkowania a podpisaną pisemną umową między użytkownikiem a nami, podpisana umowa będzie miała pierwszeństwo.

Użytkownik wyraża zgodę na otrzymywanie od nas powiadomień, w tym dotyczących zmian w Warunkach korzystania, pocztą elektroniczną, pocztą tradycyjną lub w formie postów na stronach internetowych Projektów.

Jeśli w jakichkolwiek okolicznościach nie zastosujemy lub nie będziemy egzekwować jakiegokolwiek postanowienia niniejszych warunków korzystania, nie oznacza to uchylenia tego postanowienia.

Użytkownik przyjmuje do wiadomości, że o ile nie uzgodniono inaczej na piśmie, nie oczekuje wynagrodzenia za jakiekolwiek działania, wkład lub pomysły, które przekazuje nam, społeczności, Projektom lub ich poszczególnym edycjom.

Niezależnie od wszelkich postanowień pozostających w sprzeczności z niniejszymi warunkami korzystania, my (Wikimedia Foundation) oraz Ty postanawiamy nie zmieniać obowiązujących warunków i wymagań jakiejkolwiek bezpłatnej licencji, która jest wykorzystywana w ramach projektów lub ich wersji, gdy taka licencja jest zatwierdzona przez niniejsze warunki korzystania.

Niniejsze warunki korzystania zostały stworzone w języku angielskim (wersja amerykańska). Mimo że ufamy, iż tłumaczenia warunków korzystania są dokładne, w przypadku różnic znaczeniowych między oryginalną wersją angielską i tłumaczeniem, zastosowanie ma oryginalna wersja angielska.

Jeżeli którekolwiek z postanowień (lub część postanowienia) niniejszych warunków korzystania zostanie uznane za bezprawne, nieważne lub niewykonalne, dane postanowienie (lub część postanowienia) będzie uważane za wyłączone z niniejszych warunków korzystania i będzie egzekwowane w maksymalnym dopuszczalnym stopniu, a wszystkie inne postanowienia niniejszych warunków korzystania pozostaną w pełnej mocy.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Dziękujemy!==

Doceniamy czas poświęcony na zapoznanie się z niniejszymi warunkami korzystania i cieszymy się z Twojego zaangażowania w projekty i korzystania z naszych usług. Poprzez swój wkład pomagasz budować coś naprawdę wielkiego – nie tylko istotny zbiór wspólnie edytowanych projektów referencyjnych zapewniających edukację i informacje milionom ludzi, którzy w przeciwnym razie nie mieliby do nich dostępu, ale również tętniącą życiem społeczność podobnie myślących i zaangażowanych równych ludzi skupionych wokół godnego i szlachetnego celu.

''''' Imagine um mundo onde todos os seres humanos possam compartilhar livremente a soma de todo conhecimento. Este é o nosso compromisso. ''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Nossa Visão]]

Bem-vindo à Wikimedia! A Fundação Wikimedia (&quot;nós&quot; ou &quot;nos/conosco&quot;, “nosso(a)(s)” ou “Fundação”) é uma organização filantrópica sem fins lucrativos, com sede em São Francisco, Califórnia, Estados Unidos, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|cuja missão]] é capacitar e engajar pessoas de todo o mundo para coletar e desenvolver conteúdo [[w:en:Free content|sob uma licença livre]] ou no domínio público e disseminá-lo de maneira eficiente e global, e sem custos.

Para apoiar a nossa vibrante comunidade, proporcionamos a infraestrutura e estrutura organizacional básicas para o desenvolvimento de projetos wiki multilíngues e suas edições (conforme explicado na nossa [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|página de Projetos Wikimedia]]) (doravante referido como “Projetos”) e outros empreendimentos que atendem a essa missão. Nós nos esforçamos para disponibilizar e manter conteúdos educacionais e informativos dos projetos na internet sem custos, em caráter perpétuo.

Nós lhe damos boas-vindas (a &quot;você&quot; ou &quot;usuário&quot;) como leitor ou contribuidor dos Projetos, e encorajamos você a fazer parte da comunidade Wikimedia. Contudo, antes de participar, solicitamos que você leia e concorde com os Termos de Uso (&quot;Termos de Uso&quot;) a seguir.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Estes termos de uso lhe informarão sobre nossos serviços públicos na Wikimedia Foundation, nosso relacionamento com você como usuário(a) e os direitos e as responsabilidades que guiarão ambos. Hospedamos uma quantidade incrível de conteúdo educacional e informativo, todo ele fruto de contribuição e possibilitado por usuários como você. Em geral, não contribuímos com conteúdo nem monitoramos ou excluímos conteúdo (com raras exceções, como sob políticas como estes Termos de Uso, ou para fins de conformidade legal, ou quando confrontado com ameaças urgentes de danos graves). Isso significa que o controle editorial está nas suas mãos e nas mãos dos seus amigos usuários, que criam e gerenciam conteúdo.

A comunidade – a rede de usuários que constantemente constroem e utilizam os Projetos e/ou seus sites (doravante denominados “Sites dos Projetos”) – é o principal meio pelo qual os objetivos da missão são alcançados. A comunidade ajuda a administrar e contribui com os nossos Projetos e Sites dos Projetos. A comunidade empreende a função crucial de criar e fazer valer as políticas para as edições de Projetos específicas (tais como as edições em diferentes idiomas do Projeto Wikipédia ou a edição multilíngue do Wikimedia Commons).

Você, o usuário, pode participar como contribuidor, editor ou autor, mas deve seguir as políticas que regem cada uma das edições independentes do projeto, inclusive o [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Código Universal de Conduta]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), que se aplica a todas as edições do Projeto. O maior dos nossos projetos é a Wikipédia, mas hospedamos outros projetos também, cada um com diferentes objetivos e métodos de trabalho. Cada edição de projeto tem uma equipe de colaboradores, editores ou autores que trabalham juntos para criar e administrar o conteúdo desta edição de projeto. Você é bem-vindo para se unir a essas equipes e trabalhar com elas para aperfeiçoar esses projetos. Uma vez que nos dedicamos a tornar conteúdo livremente acessível ao público, o conteúdo com o qual você contribui é disponibilizado sob uma licença livre ou liberado em domínio público.

Saiba que você é legalmente responsável por todas as suas contribuições, edições e reutilização de conteúdo da Wikimedia segundo as leis dos Estados Unidos da América e outras leis aplicáveis (inclusive leis de onde você ou o assunto de suas contribuições estejam localizados). Isso significa que é importante você ter cuidado ao postar, modificar ou reutilizar o conteúdo. Considerando essa responsabilidade, temos algumas regras sobre o que você não pode fazer. A maioria delas é para a sua proteção ou para a proteção de outros usuários como você. Tenha em mente que o conteúdo que hospedamos é somente para fins de informação geral. Assim, caso você precise de aconselhamento especializado para uma questão específica (como questões médicas, jurídicas ou financeiras), você deverá buscar a ajuda do profissional competente. Também incluímos outros avisos e isenções de responsabilidade importantes. Assim sendo, leia estes Termos de Uso integralmente.

Para que fique claro, outras organizações, como [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|capitulos da Wikimedia]] e associações locais, que podem compartilhar a mesma missão, são, ainda assim, legalmente independentes e separadas da Fundação Wikimedia. Salvo disposição em contrário pela Fundação como uma parte autorizada em um Site do Projeto, essas outras organizações não têm responsabilidade pelas operações do Site do Projeto ou por seu conteúdo.

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Nossos serviços ==

A Fundação Wikimedia se dedica a encorajar o crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a distribuição de conteúdo multilíngue livre e a hospedar o conteúdo completo desses Projetos baseados em wikis sem custos para o público. Nosso papel é hospedar alguns dos maiores projetos de referência editados de maneira colaborativa do mundo, [//www.wikimedia.org que podem ser encontrados aqui]. No entanto, atuamos apenas como provedor de serviços de hospedagem, mantendo a infraestrutura e a estrutura organizacional. Essa infraestrutura e estrutura permitem que os nossos usuários construam os Projetos editando e contribuindo com conteúdo por conta própria. Também permitem que os nossos usuários reutilizem esse conteúdo. A infraestrutura que mantemos inclui infraestrutura tecnológica especializada, que permite aos usuários interagirem programaticamente e reutilizarem conteúdo em Projetos [denominados “Interface de Programação de Aplicativos” ou “APIs” (Application Programming Interface)] e aplicativos móveis.

Conforme usado nas demais disposições dos Termos de Uso, os nossos serviços consistem no seguinte: [//www.wikimedia.org Os Sites de Projetos que hospedamos], a infraestrutura tecnológica que mantemos e quaisquer espaços técnicos que hospedamos para a manutenção e a melhoria dos nossos Projetos.

Devido ao nosso papel único, há algumas coisas das quais você deve estar ciente ao considerar a nossa relação com você, com os Projetos e outros usuários:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Não assumimos papel editorial:''' uma vez que os Projetos são editados em colaboração, todo o conteúdo que hospedamos é proporcionado por usuários como você, mas nós não assumimos papel editorial. Isso significa que geralmente não monitoramos nem editamos o conteúdo dos sites dos projetos, nem assumimos nenhuma responsabilidade por esse conteúdo. De maneira similar, salvo disposição em contrário, não endossamos nenhuma opinião expressada através dos nossos serviços nem fazemos declarações ou damos garantias quanto à autenticidade, precisão ou confiabilidade de qualquer conteúdo comunitário enviado nos Projetos.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Você é responsável pelas suas próprias ações:''' Você é legalmente responsável pelas suas edições e contribuições nos Projetos, pela sua reutilização de conteúdo nos Projetos, pelo seu uso das APIs e pelo seu uso dos nossos serviços de forma mais geral. Para a sua própria proteção, você deve ter cuidado e evitar tomar qualquer medida que possa resultar em responsabilidade penal ou civil segundo lei aplicável. Para fins de clareza, as leis aplicáveis incluem, no mínimo, as leis dos Estados Unidos da América e do estado da Califórnia. Para outros países, isso é determinado caso a caso. Embora possamos não concordar com tais ações, alertamos os usuários, especialmente os editores, contribuidores e autores, que autoridades não americanas podem tentar aplicar leis de outros países a você, inclusive leis municipais de onde você mora ou visualiza ou edita conteúdo. De modo geral, não podemos oferecer nenhuma proteção, garantia, imunidade ou indenização contra a aplicação dessas leis.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Política de privacidade ==

Solicitamos que você analise os [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|termos da nossa Política de Privacidade]] de forma a tomar ciência de como coletamos e usamos as suas informações.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. O conteúdo que hospedamos ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Você pode achar alguns materiais contestáveis ou errôneos:''' Uma vez que proporcionamos uma ampla variedade de conteúdo produzido ou coletado por usuários, você poderá encontrar materiais que considera ofensivos, errôneos, enganosos, erroneamente rotulados ou de outra maneira contestáveis. Assim sendo, solicitamos que você use o bom senso e julgue por si mesmo ao usar os nossos serviços.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''O conteúdo dos Projetos é somente para fins de informação geral:''' Apesar de os nossos Projetos hospedarem uma grande quantidade de informações que dizem respeito a tópicos profissionais, inclusive questões médicas, legais e financeiras, este conteúdo é apresentado somente para fins de informação geral. Ele não deve ser entendido como aconselhamento profissional. Busque aconselhamento profissional independente de alguém licenciado ou qualificado na área em questão em vez de agir com base em qualquer informação, opinião ou conselho contido em um dos Sites dos Projetos.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Atividades a serem evitadas ==

Os Projetos hospedados pela Fundação Wikimedia somente existem devido à vibrante comunidade de usuários como você que colaboram juntos para escrever, editar e manter o conteúdo. Ficamos felizes em dar boas-vindas à sua participação nesta comunidade. Encorajamos você a ser polido(a) e educado(a) nas suas interações com terceiros da comunidade, a agir de boa-fé e fazer edições e colaborações com o fim de promover a missão do projeto compartilhado. Pedimos que todos os usuários revisem e sigam o [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Código Universal de Conduta]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), que estabelece os requisitos para colaboração civil e colegial em todos os Projetos que realizamos.

Certas atividades, sejam legais ou ilegais, podem ser prejudiciais a outros usuários e violar as nossas regras, e algumas atividades podem ainda sujeitá-lo a responsabilização civil. Portanto, para a sua própria proteção e de outros usuários, você não pode se envolver nessas atividades ou de outra forma usar os nossos Projetos. Essas atividades incluem:

:'''Assediar terceiros e tratá-los de maneira abusiva'''
::* participar de ameaças, perseguição, spam, vandalismo ou assédio, conforme descrito no UCoC;
::* transmitir e-mails com correntes, publicidade ou spam para outros usuários;

&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Realizar afirmações falsas, se fazer passar por terceiros ou praticar fraude'''

::* tentar se passar por outro(a) usuário(a) ou pessoa, indicar, de maneira enganosa, sua afiliação com qualquer pessoa física ou jurídica, ocultar sua afiliação com qualquer pessoa física ou jurídica quando a divulgação for exigida por estes termos ou pela política local do Projeto, ou usar o nome ou nome de usuário(a) de outra pessoa com a intenção de enganar; e
::* participar de fraudes.
:'''Praticar violação de direitos de propriedade intelectual'''
::* infringir copyrights, marcas comerciais, patentes ou outros direitos de propriedade segundo as leis aplicáveis.
:'''Fazer mau uso dos nossos serviços ou de outros objetivos ilegais'''

:::* tais ações não visarem o ganho pessoal (exceto para o crédito do seu trabalho);
:::* você relatar as vulnerabilidades aos desenvolvedores (ou as corrija você mesmo); e
:::* você não realizar tais ações com intenção maliciosa ou destrutiva.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Contribuições pagas sem divulgação'''

::* É seu dever divulgar todo e qualquer empregador, cliente, beneficiário pretendido e afiliação no que diz respeito a qualquer contribuição pela qual você receba ou espere receber remuneração. Essa divulgação deve ser feita de pelo menos uma das seguintes maneiras:
:::* uma declaração na sua página de usuário,
:::* um extrato na página de discussão que acompanhe contribuições pagas, ou
:::* um extrato no resumo de edição que acompanhe contribuições pagas.
::* Além disso, se você fizer uma publicação pública fora dos Projetos promovendo serviços de edição na Wikipédia em troca de remuneração de qualquer tipo, você deve divulgar todas as contas da Wikipedia que tiver usado ou que usará para esse serviço na publicação pública no serviço de terceiros.
::* A lei aplicável ou as políticas específicas do Projeto, bem como as políticas e diretrizes da Fundação, como as que abordam conflitos de interesses, podem limitar ainda mais as contribuições pagas ou exigir divulgação mais detalhada. Por exemplo, infringir as marcas comerciais da Wikimedia (doravante definidas na Seção 6) para anunciar serviços de edição pagos, remover divulgações sobre edições pagas divulgadas anteriormente de forma adequada ou fazer logout da edição paga de uma maneira que torne a divulgação adequada uma impossibilidade prática violam esta seção.
::* Uma comunidade de Projeto Wikimedia pode adotar uma política de divulgação de contribuição paga alternativa que pode complementar ou substituir esta seção. Se um Projeto adotar uma política de divulgação alternativa, você poderá cumprir essa política em vez dos requisitos desta seção (intitulada “Contribuições pagas sem divulgação”) ao contribuir para esse Projeto específico.

:: Para obter mais informações, leia as nossas [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|perguntas frequentes sobre a divulgação de contribuições pagas]].


A edição não divulgada por usuários que recebem remuneração cria um ônus excessivo para editores voluntários [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|que investigam e aplicam políticas da comunidade]]. Portanto, com relação a violações desta seção relacionadas à edição paga não divulgada, você concorda em vincular-se à “Med-Arb” (uma Mediação de empresa de marketing”), conforme descrito na seção 14 destes Termos de Uso.

Reservamo-nos o direito de exercer o nosso critério de aplicação no que diz respeito às disposições da seção 4 destes Termos de Uso. Quando necessário, a aplicação desses termos poderá incluir ações não indicadas na [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Política de Office Action]] da Fundação Wikimedia. Se a aplicação da lei for necessária em novas circunstâncias, faremos o possível, no máximo em 1 (um) ano, para atualizar a Política de Office Action para catalogar o novo tipo de ação.

== 7. Licenciamento de conteúdo ==

Para promover os bens comuns de conhecimento e cultura livres, todos os usuários que contribuam com os Projetos ou Sites de Projetos devem ceder permissões amplas ao público em geral para redistribuir e reutilizar as contribuições deles de maneira livre, desde que esse uso seja apropriadamente reconhecido e a mesma liberdade de reutilização e redistribuição seja cedida a todas as obras derivadas. Preservando a nossa meta de proporcionar informações gratuitas à mais ampla audiência possível, solicitamos que, quando necessário, todo conteúdo submetido seja licenciado de maneira a ser livremente reutilizável por qualquer um que o acesse.

Os reusuários podem estar em conformidade com uma licença ou ambas.&lt;br /&gt;
A única exceção é caso a edição do Projeto ou recurso exija uma licença diferente. Nesse caso, você concorda em licenciar qualquer texto que contribua sob a licença específica prescrita pela edição do Projeto ou pelo recurso.

Observe que essas licenças permitem usos comerciais de suas contribuições, contanto que esses usos estejam em conformidade com os termos das respectivas licenças. Quando você tiver Direitos de banco de dados Sui Generis cobertos pelo CC BY-SA 4.0, você renuncia a esses direitos. Como exemplo, isso significa que os fatos que você contribui para os projetos podem ser reutilizados livremente sem atribuição.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Atribuição:''' a atribuição é uma parte importante dessas licenças. Consideramos isso como dar crédito onde o crédito é merecido – a autores como você. Quando você contribui com texto, concorda que o mesmo lhe seja atribuído de qualquer uma das maneiras a seguir:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;por meio de um hyperlink (quando possível) ou URL para o artigo para o qual você contribuiu (uma vez que cada artigo tem uma página de histórico que lista todos os autores e editores);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;por meio de um hyperlink (quando possível) ou URL para uma cópia on-line estável e alternativa livremente acessível, que esteja em conformidade com a licença e que ofereça crédito aos autores de uma maneira equivalente ao crédito dado no Site do Projeto; ou&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;através de uma lista de autores (mas observe que qualquer lista de autores pode ser filtrada para excluir contribuições muito pequenas ou irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importação de textos:''' você pode importar texto que tiver encontrado em outros lugares ou dos quais for co-autor com terceiros, mas em tal caso você garante que o texto está disponível sob termos compatíveis com a licença CC BY-SA (ou, conforme explicado acima, outra licença, quando excepcionalmente exigido pela edição do Projeto ou recurso). Para obter uma lista de licenças compatíveis, consulte [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Você não importará conteúdo que esteja disponível exclusivamente sob a GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Você concorda que, caso importe texto sob uma licença CC que exija atribuição, você deverá dar crédito ao(s) autor(es) de uma maneira razoável. Quando tal crédito for normalmente atribuído através de históricos de página (tais como cópias internas da Wikimedia), será suficiente fazer a atribuição no sumário de edição, que é registrado no histórico da página, ao importar o texto. As exigências de atribuição são às vezes intrusivas demais para circunstâncias particulares (independente da licença) e pode haver casos nos quais a comunidade Wikimedia decide que texto importado não pode ser usado por essa razão.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Mídias diferentes de texto:''' Mídia em formato diferente de texto nos Projetos está disponível sob uma variedade de licenças diferentes que apoiam o objetivo geral de permitir a reutilização e redistribuição irrestrita. Quando você contribui com mídia em formato diferente de texto, você concorda em respeitar as exigências das licenças descritas na nossa [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Política de licenciamento]] e também em agir em conformidade com as exigências da edição de Projeto ou recurso específico para o qual estiver contribuindo. Veja também a [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Política de licenciamento da Wikimedia Commons]] para obter mais informações sobre como contribuir com mídias em formato diferente de texto para a Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Não revogação de licença:''' Exceto de maneira que seja consistente com a sua licença, você concorda que não revogará ou buscará invalidar de maneira unilateral qualquer licença que tiver concedido sob estes Termos de Uso para conteúdo em formato de texto ou em outro formato com o qual tiver contribuído aos Projetos ou recursos, mesmo caso interrompa o uso dos nossos serviços.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Conteúdo em domínio público:''' Conteúdo no domínio público é bem-vindo. É importante, contudo, que você confirme o status de domínio público do conteúdo sob a lei dos Estados Unidos da América assim como sob as leis de quaisquer outros países, conforme exigido pela edição de projeto específica. Quando você contribui com conteúdo que está no domínio público, garante que o material está realmente no domínio público e concorda em rotulá-lo de maneira apropriada.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Reutilização:''' a reutilização do conteúdo que hospedamos é bem-vinda, ainda que existam exceções para conteúdos fruto de contribuição sob &quot;uso justo&quot; ou outras isenções sob a lei de direitos autorais aplicável. Qualquer reutilização deve estar em conformidade com a(s) licença(s) subjacente(s).&lt;br /&gt;

Ao reutilizar ou redistribuir uma página de texto desenvolvida pela comunidade Wikimedia, você concorda em atribuir os autores de qualquer uma das seguintes formas:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;por meio de hyperlink (quando possível) ou URL para a(s) página(s) que você esteja reutilizando (já que cada página tem um página de histórico que lista todos os autores e editores);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;por meio de um hyperlink (quando possível) ou URL para uma cópia on-line estável e alternativa livremente acessível que se conforme com a licença e que ofereça crédito aos autores de uma maneira equivalente ao crédito dado no Site do Projeto; ou&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;através de uma lista de autores (mas observe que qualquer lista de autores pode ser filtrada para excluir contribuições muito pequenas ou irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Caso o conteúdo tenha sido importado de outra fonte, é possível que ele tenha sido licenciado sob uma licença CC BY-SA compatível, mas não a GFDL (como descrito em &quot;importação de texto&quot;, acima). Nesse caso, você concorda em respeitar a licença CC BY-SA compatível e não tem a opção de relicenciá-lo sob a GFDL. Para determinar a licença aplicável ao conteúdo que você deseja reutilizar ou redistribuir, você deverá analisar o rodapé da página, o histórico da página e a página de discussão.

Além disso, esteja ciente de que textos originados de fontes externas e importados para o projeto podem estar sob uma licença com exigências adicionais de atribuição. Os usuários concordam em indicar essas exigências de atribuição adicionais de maneira clara. Dependendo do Projeto, tais exigências podem aparecer, por exemplo, em um banner ou outras anotações indicando que parte ou todo o conteúdo foi originalmente publicado em outro lugar. Onde houver tais anotações visíveis, os usuários deverão preservá-las.

No caso de qualquer mídia em outro formato que não seja texto, você concorda em respeitar a licença sob a qual a obra tiver sido disponibilizada (o que pode ser descoberto clicando na obra e observando a seção de licenciamento na sua página de descrição ou analisando uma página de origem aplicável para essa obra). Ao reutilizar qualquer conteúdo hospedado por nós, você concorda com as exigências de atribuição conforme a(s) licença(s) subjacente(s).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modificações ou adições a materiais que você reutiliza:''' Ao modificar ou fazer adições ao texto que você tenha obtido de um Site do Projeto, você concorda em licenciar o conteúdo modificado ou adicionado sob a CC BY-SA 4.0 ou posterior (ou, conforme explicado acima, outra licença quando excepcionalmente exigido pela edição ou recurso específico do Projeto).&lt;br /&gt;

Ao modificar ou fazer adições a qualquer mídia que não seja de texto que você tenha obtido de um site do Projeto, você concorda em licenciar o conteúdo modificado ou adicionado de acordo com qualquer licença sob a qual o trabalho tenha sido disponibilizado.&lt;br /&gt;

Com conteúdo de mídia de texto e sem texto, você concorda em indicar, claramente, que o trabalho original foi modificado. Caso você esteja reutilizando conteúdo de uma wiki, será suficiente indicar no histórico da página que você fez uma mudança no texto importado. Para cada cópia ou versão modificada que você distribuir, você concorda em incluir uma notificação de licença declarando sob qual licença o trabalho foi divulgado, junto com um hyperlink ou URL para o texto da licença ou uma cópia da própria licença.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

A Fundação Wikimedia deseja assegurar que o conteúdo que hospedamos possa ser reutilizado por outros usuários sem medo de responsabilização civil e que não ocorra infringimento dos direitos de propriedade de terceiros. Para agir de maneira justa perante os nossos usuários, bem como outros criadores e detentores de copyright, nossa política é responder somente a notificações de suspeitas de infringimento que se conformem às formalidades da Lei dos direitos autorais do milênio digital (DMCA) [Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA]. De acordo com a DMCA, excluiremos, nas circunstâncias apropriadas, usuários e titulares de contas do nosso sistema e da nossa rede que reincidirem em infrações nos nosso Projetos e serviços.

Contudo, também reconhecemos que nem todas as notificações de infringimento são válidas ou feitas de boa-fé. Em tais casos, recomendamos veementemente os usuários a protocolar contra-notificações quando acreditarem que uma notificação de infringimento de acordo com a DMCA é inválida ou imprópria. Para obter mais informações sobre o que fazer caso ache que uma notificação baseada na DMCA foi protocolada de maneira inadequada, você poderá querer consultar o website [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Caso você seja o proprietário do conteúdo que esteja sendo usado de maneira inadequada em um dos Projetos sem a sua permissão, você poderá solicitar que o conteúdo seja removido mediante o envio de notificação nos termos da DMCA. Para fazer uma solicitação desse tipo, envie-nos um e-mail para {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} ou [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|uma carta convencional para o nosso agente designado]].

Alternativamente, você poderá fazer uma solicitação à nossa comunidade, que frequentemente cuida de questões de copyright de maneira mais rápida e eficaz do que o processo prescrito pela DMCA. Nesse caso, você poderá postar um aviso explicando suas preocupações em termos de copyright. Para obter uma lista não completa e não oficial dos processos relevantes para as diferentes edições de Projeto, [[:m:Copyright problems|acesse a página de Questões de direitos autorais]]. Antes de protocolar uma reclamação baseada na DMCA, você também tem a opção de enviar um e-mail para a comunidade em {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

{{anchor|9}}

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 9. Websites e recursos de terceiros ==

Você será o único responsável pelo uso que fizer de websites ou recursos de terceiros. Ainda que os Projetos e os Sites de Projetos contenham links para websites e recursos de terceiros, não endossamos nem somos responsáveis ou imputáveis pela sua disponibilidade ou precisão, nem pelos conteúdos, produtos ou serviços relacionados (inclusive, entre outros, vírus ou outros recursos prejudiciais) nem temos qualquer obrigação de monitorar tais conteúdos de terceiros.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Gerenciamento de websites ==

A comunidade tem o papel principal na criação e na execução de políticas aplicáveis às diferentes edições de projetos. Na Fundação Wikimedia, raramente intervimos em decisões comunitárias sobre políticas e sua execução.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
É possível notificar-nos sobre conteúdo ilegal ou conteúdo que viole nossos Termos de Uso (inclusive todas as políticas e outros documentos incorporados por referência) por outros motivos [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|entrando em contato conosco diretamente]]. No entanto, você normalmente pode fazer uma solicitação diretamente para a comunidade do Projeto: isso pode ser mais eficaz e é mais consistente com o objetivo dos nossos Projetos de capacitar a comunidade de usuários.
&lt;/div&gt;


Cada projeto normalmente fornecerá páginas de “Ajuda” ou “Contato” para obter mais orientações ou ferramentas específicas para relatar problemas. Como alternativa, em caso de dúvida, você pode pedir ajuda aos membros da comunidade, enviando um e-mail para {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} ou um endereço mais específico do idioma na [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|página Equipe de resposta voluntária]]. Observe que essas mensagens são monitoradas pelos usuários dos Projetos, não pela Fundação. Como resultado, eles não devem ser ameaçados ou receber demandas judiciais.

Se você entrar em contato com a Fundação com algum problema, normalmente exploraremos se e como os mecanismos existentes liderados pela comunidade podem investigar e, quando apropriado, resolvê-lo.

Em casos incomuns, poderá surgir a necessidade de abordar ou a comunidade poderá nos solicitar que abordemos um(a) usuário(a) especialmente problemático(a) ou um conteúdo especialmente problemático devido a perturbação significativa ou comportamento perigoso no Projeto. Nesses casos, reservamo-nos o direito, a nosso exclusivo critério (ou quando legalmente obrigado), de:

* investigar a sua utilização dos Projetos ou dos nossos serviços (a) para determinar se violações destes Termos de Uso, da política de edição de Projetos ou de outras leis ou políticas aplicáveis ocorreram ou (b) para agir em conformidade com qualquer lei, processo legal ou solicitação governamental apropriada;
* detectar, prevenir ou resolver fraudes, informações falsas ou não verificáveis, segurança ou problemas técnicos ou responder a solicitações de suporte do usuário;
* recusar, reverter, desabilitar ou restringir o acesso às contribuições de qualquer usuário(a) que viole estes Termos de Uso;
* proibir um(a) usuário(a) de editar, contribuir ou bloquear a conta ou o acesso de um(a) usuário(a) para ações que violem estes Termos de Uso, incluindo a repetição da publicação de material ilegal nos termos da lei aplicável, alinhados com os princípios de direitos humanos;
* tomar medidas legais contra usuários que violarem estes termos de uso (incluindo comunicações a autoridades policiais); e
* administrar os Sites dos Projetos de uma maneira elaborada para facilitar seu funcionamento apropriado e proteger os direitos, a propriedade e a segurança nossas e dos nossos usuários, licenciadores, parceiros e do público.

Essas atividades de moderação da Fundação podem ser informadas ou realizadas por software [como proteção contra inundação de tráfego (“Negação de Serviço”)]. Nesses casos, a análise humana está normalmente disponível, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|mediante solicitação]].

No interesse dos nossos usuários e dos Projetos, na circunstância extrema de qualquer indivíduo ter sua conta ou acesso bloqueado sob esta seção, ele estará proibido de criar ou usar outra conta ou de buscar acesso ao mesmo Projeto, a menos que proporcionemos permissão expressa. Sem limitar a autoridade da comunidade, a própria Fundação não banirá usuários de maneira a impedi-los de editar ou contribuir nem bloqueará contas ou acessos de usuários somente por conta de críticas feitas de boa-fé que não resultem em ações que de qualquer outra maneira violem estes termos de uso ou as políticas da comunidade.

A comunidade Wikimedia e seus membros também podem tomar medidas quando isso for autorizado pela comunidade ou pelas políticas da fundação aplicáveis à edição de projeto específica, incluindo, entre outras, alertar, investigar, bloquear ou banir usuários que violarem essas políticas. Você concorda em respeitar as decisões finais de corpos de resolução de disputas que forem estabelecidos pela comunidade para as edições de projeto específicas (tais como comitês de arbitramento). Essas decisões poderão incluir sanções conforme definido pela política da edição de projeto específica.

Usuários especialmente problemáticos que tiverem suas contas ou o acesso bloqueado em múltiplas edições de Projetos poderão ficar sujeitos a banimento de todas as edições de Projeto, de acordo com a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Política global de banimento]]. Em contraste com resoluções do Conselho ou estes termos de uso, as políticas estabelecidas pela comunidade, que podem cobrir uma única edição de projeto ou múltiplas edições de projeto (como a Política global de banimento), podem ser modificadas pela respectiva comunidade de acordo com os seus próprios procedimentos.

O bloqueio de contas ou acesso ou o banimento de usuários sob esta provisão se dará de acordo com a Seção 13 destes Termos de Uso.

Se você acredita que não agimos de maneira satisfatória em um relatório de conteúdo problemático, ou se você foi submetido a uma ação de moderação da Fundação que deseja contestar, você pode [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|enviar uma apelação]]. Outras informações sobre rotas de apelação também podem ser explicadas a você no momento ou nas páginas de ajuda específicas do projeto.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Reservamo-nos o direito de suspender (em caráter temporário ou permanente) o nosso tratamento de denúncias ou outras correspondências de usuários ou terceiros, seja sobre conteúdo ou conduta supostamente ilegal ou problemática, ou solicitar apelações contra ações de moderação, se tal correspondência tiver sido feita de má-fé, repetitiva, infundada e/ou abusiva. Em circunstâncias apropriadas, o seu endereço de e-mail poderá até mesmo ser bloqueado em nosso(s) sistema(s) de e-mail, e você precisará entrar em contato conosco [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|pelo nosso endereço de correspondência]] se você desejar se comunicar mais conosco durante esse bloqueio. Para casos menos sérios (p. ex., até três e-mails educados sobre uma ou mais reclamações sem mérito), isso provavelmente será temporário. Comunicações mais frequentes ou mais abusivas têm maior probabilidade de levar a medidas permanentes.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 11. Resoluções e políticas de projetos ==

O Conselho de Administração da Fundação Wikimedia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|emite políticas oficiais]] periodicamente. Algumas dessas políticas podem ser obrigatórias para um projeto particular ou edição de projeto particular e, quando esse for o caso, você concorda em respeitá-las como elas se aplicarem.

&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. Termos da API ==

Disponibilizamos um conjunto de APIs, as quais incluem documentação e ferramentas associadas, para permitir que os usuários criem produtos que promovam o conhecimento livre. Ao usar nossas APIs, você concorda em cumprir todas as políticas aplicáveis que regem o uso das APIs, as quais incluem, entre outras, a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Política de Usuário-Agente]], a [[wikitech:Robot policy|Política de Robô]] e a [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiqueta]] (coletivamente, “Documentação da API”), as quais são incorporadas a estes Termos de Uso por referência.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Rescisão ==

Ainda que esperemos que você permaneça e continue a contribuir com os projetos, você pode parar de usar nossos serviços a qualquer momento. Em certas circunstâncias (oxalá improváveis), pode ser necessário para nós mesmos, para a comunidade Wikimedia ou seus membros (como descrito na Seção 10), interromper nossos serviços de maneira integral ou parcial, rescindir estes termos de uso, bloquear sua conta ou acesso ou bani-lo como usuário. Se a sua conta ou o seu acesso for bloqueado ou encerrado por qualquer motivo, as suas contribuições públicas e o registro das suas atividades relacionadas aos Projetos (inclusive qualquer correspondência que você nos tenha enviado) não serão afetados (respeitadas as políticas aplicáveis) e você ainda poderá acessar as nossas páginas públicas com o único propósito de ler o conteúdo disponível publicamente nos Projetos. Em tais circunstâncias, contudo, você poderá não ser capaz de acessar sua conta ou suas configurações. No entanto, independentemente de qualquer outra disposição nestes Termos de Uso, reservamo-nos o direito de suspender ou finalizar os serviços a qualquer momento, com ou sem causa e com ou sem aviso. Mesmo após sua utilização e participação serem interrompidas, bloqueadas ou de qualquer outra maneira suspensas, estes Termos de Uso permanecerão em vigor no que se refere a provisões relevantes, incluindo as seções 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 e 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Destacado para dar ênfase''

Esperamos que não ocorra nenhum desentendimento sério envolvendo você, mas, caso ocorram disputas, nós o encorajamos a buscar resolução através dos procedimentos ou mecanismos de resolução de disputas proporcionados pelos projetos ou edições de projetos e pela Wikimedia Foundation. Caso você queira entrar com uma ação jurídica contra nós, concorda em protocolá-la e resolvê-la exclusivamente em um tribunal estadual ou federal localizado no condado de São Francisco, Califórnia. Você também concorda que as leis do estado da Califórnia e, na medida em que isso se aplicar, as leis dos Estados Unidos da América, regerão estes termos de uso, bem como qualquer reivindicação legal que possa se originar entre você e nós (sem considerar as regras governando os conflitos entre leis). Você concorda em se submeter à jurisdição pessoal de e concorda com a jurisdição dos tribunais localizados no condado de São Francisco, Califórnia, em qualquer ação jurídica ou procedimento referente a nós ou a estes termos de uso.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para garantir que as disputas sejam resolvidas assim que surgirem, você concorda que, a despeito de qualquer estatuto ou lei em contrário, qualquer reivindicação ou causa de ação que você possa ter originada dos ou relacionada ao uso dos nossos serviços de acordo com estes termos de uso deverá ser protocolada nos limites do estatuto de prescrições aplicável ou, caso ocorra antes, um (1) ano após os fatos pertinentes subjacentes a tal reivindicação ou causa de ação poderem ter sido descobertos mediante diligência razoável (ou serem para sempre suprimidos).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Conforme descrito na Seção 4 destes Termos de Uso, você concorda em resolver violações das Contribuições pagas sem divulgação em uma Mediação de Empresa de Marketing a critério da Fundação. Mediações de Empresa de Marketing são mediações '''vinculativas''' em que, ao final de uma sessão de meio-período ou de um dia inteiro, quaisquer itens contestados que permaneçam não resolvidos serão decididos pelo mediador em uma decisão juridicamente vinculativa. Eles serão conduzidos em reuniões por teleconferência ou videoconferência. Havendo necessidade de reunião presencial, a Mediação da Empresa de Marketing ocorrerá na comarca de São Francisco, Califórnia. As partes dividirão todas as taxas e despesas relacionadas à mediação/arbitragem em partes iguais.

Como parte em uma Mediação de Empresa de Marketing, você concorda em cooperar com a Fundação, inclusive disponibilizando, em tempo hábil, qualquer documentação em sua posse relacionada às suas atividades de edição paga não divulgadas, incluindo as contas usadas, artigos afetados e clientes que compraram tais serviços.

As Mediações de Empresa de Marketing estão sujeitas à Lei Federal de Arbitragem e são regidas por essa lei, na medida em que o mediador se torne um árbitro. A parte vencedora terá o direito de recuperar os honorários advocatícios (inclusive todos os honorários necessários para determinar a aplicabilidade da Mediação de Empresa de Marketing e para fazer cumprir o resultado vinculativo) e todos os custos relacionados à investigação e à aplicação de seus direitos. Uma parte pode ser considerada “prevalecedora” mesmo que não tenha obtido êxito em todas as reivindicações apresentadas.

Se, por algum motivo, todas essas exigências de Mediação de Empresa de Marketing forem consideradas inexequíveis, você concorda em resolver quaisquer disputas conforme descrito no início desta seção.

Na Fundação Wikimedia, fazemos o possível para oferecer conteúdo educacional e informativo a uma audiência muito ampla, mas você faz uso dos nossos serviços por sua própria conta e risco.  Proporcionamos esses serviços &quot;como são&quot; e &quot;conforme disponibilizados&quot;, e nos isentamos expressamente de todas as garantias expressas ou implícitas de todos os tipos, incluindo, mas não limitadas às, garantias implícitas de comerciabilidade, adequabilidade para um fim particular e não infringimento.

Não somos responsáveis por conteúdos, dados ou ações de terceiros e você nos isenta, e a nossos diretores, executivos, funcionários e agentes, de todas as reivindicações ou danos, conhecidos e desconhecidos, decorrentes de ou de qualquer maneira relacionados com qualquer reivindicação que você possa ter contra tais terceiras partes. Nenhum aconselhamento ou informação, seja oral ou por escrito, obtido por você de nós ou através dos nossos serviços, cria qualquer garantia não expressamente declarada nestes termos de uso.

Você concorda que não temos responsabilidade ou imputabilidade pela exclusão de, ou pela falha em armazenar ou transmitir, qualquer conteúdo ou comunicação mantida pelo serviço.  Reservamo-nos o direito de estabelecer limites ao uso e ao armazenamento a nosso critério exclusivo em qualquer momento, com ou sem aviso prévio.

Alguns estados ou jurisdições não permitem os tipos de isenções de responsabilidade nesta seção. Assim, elas podem não se aplicar a você em parte ou na íntegra, dependendo da lei.&lt;/div&gt;

A Wikimedia Foundation não será responsável perante você ou qualquer outra parte por qualquer dano direto, indireto, especial, consequencial ou exemplar, incluindo, entre outros, danos por lucros cessantes, boa-fé, uso, dados ou outras perdas intangíveis, independente de termos sido avisados da possibilidade de tais danos. Em nenhuma circunstância, nossa responsabilidade ultrapassará mil dólares norte-americanos (US$ 1.000,00) no total. Caso a legislação aplicável não permita a limitação ou exclusão da responsabilidade ou de dados incidentais ou consequenciais, a limitação ou exclusão acima poderá não se aplicar a você, ainda que nossa responsabilidade seja limitada na medida máxima possível autorizada pela legislação aplicável.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modificações destes termos de uso ==

Assim como a contribuição da comunidade Wikimedia é essencial para o crescimento e a manutenção dos projetos, acreditamos que a contribuição da comunidade é essencial para que estes termos de uso sirvam adequadamente aos nossos usuários. Isso também é essencial para um contrato justo. Portanto, forneceremos esses termos de uso, bem como quaisquer revisões substanciais futuras destes termos de uso, à comunidade para comentários, pelo menos trinta (30) dias antes do final do período de comentários. Caso uma futura proposta de revisão for substancial, forneceremos 30 dias adicionais para comentários após a publicação de uma tradução da revisão proposta em pelo menos três idiomas (selecionados a nosso critério). A comunidade será encorajada a traduzir a revisão proposta em outros idiomas conforme apropriado. Para alterações por razões legais ou administrativas, para corrigir uma declaração imprecisa ou alterações em resposta a comentários da comunidade, forneceremos um aviso com pelo menos três (3) dias de antecedência.

Poderá ser necessário modificar estes Termos de Uso periodicamente, então forneceremos notificações das modificações e ofereceremos a oportunidade para comentários por meio dos Sites de Projetos e por uma notificação no [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Contudo, solicitamos que você analise periodicamente a versão mais atualizada destes Termos de Uso. O fato de você continuar a usar nossos serviços após os novos termos de uso se tornarem oficiais depois da notificação e do período de análise representará uma aceitação da sua parte destes termos de uso. Para a proteção da Fundação Wikimedia e outros usuários como você, caso não concorde com nossos termos de uso, você não poderá usar nossos serviços.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Outros termos ==

Estes termos de uso não criam relação de emprego, agência, parceria ou joint-venture entre você e nós, a Fundação Wikimedia. Para os fins da lei do Espaço Econômico Europeu, da lei do Reino Unido ou de outras leis que envolvam um conceito semelhante, você não está agindo “sob a autoridade” da Fundação quando usa os serviços. Caso você não tenha assinado um contrato em separado conosco, estes termos de uso serão a íntegra do acordado entre nós. Caso exista qualquer conflito entre estes Termos de Uso e um contrato escrito assinado entre nós, o contrato assinado prevalecerá.

Você concorda que poderemos lhe fornecer notificações, inclusive com referência a mudanças destes Termos de Uso, por e-mail, correio tradicional ou postagens em Sites de Projetos.

Se, em qualquer circunstância, não aplicarmos ou executarmos qualquer provisão destes termos de uso, isso não significará uma renúncia a esta provisão.

Você entende que, exceto de outra forma acordado por nós por escrito, você não tem expectativa de remuneração por qualquer atividade, contribuição ou ideia que oferecer a nós, à comunidade, aos Projetos ou às edições de Projetos.

A despeito de quaisquer provisões em contrário nestes termos de uso, nós (a Wikimedia Foundation) e você concordamos em não modificar os termos e as exigências aplicáveis de qualquer licença livre empregada nos projetos ou edições de projetos quando tais licenças livres forem autorizadas por estes termos de uso.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Условия использования наших проектов&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Представьте себе мир, в котором каждый человек обладает свободным доступом ко всем накопленным человечеством знаниям. Мы создаём такой мир.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Декларация наших идеалов]]

Добро пожаловать в Викимедиа! «Фонд Викимедиа» (Wikimedia Foundation, Inc, WMF, здесь и далее «мы», «наш» или «Фонд») — некоммерческая благотворительная организация со штаб-квартирой в Сан-Франциско, Калифорния, США, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|миссия]] которой заключается в расширении возможностей и привлечении людей со всего мира к сбору и развитию образовательных материалов, опубликованных [[w:ru:Свободные материалы|на условиях свободной лицензии]]  или находящихся в общественном достоянии, а также в эффективном распространении их по всему миру.

Для поддержки нашего энергичного сообщества мы предоставляем необходимую инфраструктуру и организационные рамки, необходимые для поддержания и развития многоязычных вики-проектов и их отдельных разделов (перечисленных на нашей [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|странице проектов]]) (далее указанных как «проекты») и прочих начинаний, служащих этой миссии. Мы стремимся делать образовательные и  информационные материалы этих проектов свободно доступными в Интернете на безвозмездной основе и намерены сохранять их такими в течение неограниченного срока.

Мы рады приветствовать вас («вас» или «пользователей») в качестве читателей, редакторов, авторов или просто тех, кто делает любой вклад в проекты Викимедиа, и призываем вас присоединиться к сообществу Викимедиа. Однако, перед тем, как вы начнёте участвовать, мы просим вас прочитать и принять следующие Условия использования («Условия использования»).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
В настоящих Условиях использования рассказывается о наших сервисах, предоставляемых Фондом Викимедиа как поставщиком услуг, о нашем отношении к вам как к участнику и пользователю этих сервисов, а также о правах и обязанностях, которыми мы совместно должны руководствоваться. Мы размещаем невероятное количество образовательных и информационных материалов, и всё это стало возможным благодаря вкладу таких же участникам, как и вы. Как правило, мы сами не занимаемся размещением, мониторингом или удалением содержательных материалов (за редкими исключениями, такими как описанные в настоящих Условиях использования вызванные официальными требованиями, или требуемыми в случае срочных угроз серьёзного вреда). Это означает, что редакторский контроль находится в руках вас и остальных участников, создающих совместно с вами содержание наших проектов, и управляющих им.

Сообщество — сеть участников, постоянно развивающих, дополняющих и использующих проекты и/или их сайты (далее указанные как «сайты проектов») — это основной ресурс, благодаря которому достигаются цели, сформулированные в нашей миссии. Сообщество создаёт содержание наших сайтов и помогает управлять проектами и сайтами проектов. Сообщество также берёт на себя важную функцию создания и применения правил и политик для конкретных разделов наших проектов (например, различных языковых разделов Википедии или многоязычного Викисклада).

Приглашаем вас, пользователей, присоединяться в качестве редакторов или авторов текстов или медиафайлов, однако вы должны следовать набору правил, управляющих жизнью каждого из наших независимых проектов, включая [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Универсальный кодекс поведения]], действующий во всех проектах. Самый крупный из наших проектов — Википедия, но у нас есть также и другие проекты с различными целями и методами работы. В каждом разделе каждого проекта есть свой коллектив редакторов и авторов текстов или медиафайлов, совместно работающих над созданием и управлением содержания своего раздела. Приглашаем и вас присоединяться к этим коллективам и сотрудничать с ними для улучшения этих проектов. Так как мы стремимся к созданию свободно доступных и открытых для всех материалов, весь ваш содержательный вклад доступен на условиях свободной лицензии или находится в общественном достоянии.

Помните, что вы сами несёте ответственность за весь сделанный вами вклад, за все свои правки, а также за повторное использование материалов Викимедиа в соответствии с законодательством США и других применимых законов (которые могут включать законы страны проживания или страны проживания тех, о ком ваш вклад). Это означает, что при публикации материалов важно соблюдать осторожность. В связи с этим, у нас есть некоторые правила относительно того, что вы не должны публиковать, большинство из которых предназначены либо для вашей собственной защиты, либо защиты других таких же участников, как и вы. Пожалуйста, имейте в виду, материалы, хранение и публикацию которых мы обеспечиваем, предназначены для общеобразовательных и информационных целей, поэтому если вам нужен совет специалиста по конкретному вопросу (например, в области медицины, юриспруденции или финансов), вам следует обратиться за помощью к релевантным специалистам. Мы также предусмотрели здесь ряд других важных указаний и оговорок, и в связи с этим убедительно просим прочитать эти Условия использования до конца.

Для полной ясности заметим, что такие организации, как [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|региональные организации Викимедиа]], а также любые другие ассоциации, разделяющие с нами нашу миссию, являются, тем не менее, юридически самостоятельными и независимыми от «Фонда Викимедиа». Если иное не указано «Фондом» как действующим лицом на конкретном сайте проекта, эти организации не несут ответственности за деятельность или содержание сайтов проектов.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Наши сервисы ==

Основная задача Фонда Викимедиа — поощрение роста, развития и распространения свободных многоязычных материалов, создаваемых в рамках вики-проектов, а также обеспечение того, чтобы такие вики-проекты и их содержимое оставались общедоступными и бесплатными. Наша роль состоит в сохранении и обслуживании нескольких входящих в число крупнейших в мире совместно-редактируемых информационно-справочных проектов, список которых [//www.wikimedia.org можно найти здесь]. Тем не менее, мы действуем исключительно в области предоставления хостинга, поддержания инфраструктуры и организационной среды. Эти инфраструктура и организационная среда позволяют участникам наших проектов обустраивать проекты Викимедиа, самостоятельно создавая и редактируя их содержание. Они также позволяют участникам наших проектов повторно использовать это содержание. В область нашей поддержки входят также специализированная технологическая инфраструктура (под названием «программный интерфейс приложения» или «API»), которая позволяет пользователям программно взаимодействовать с содержанием проектов и повторно использовать его, а также мобильные приложения.

Как указано в остальных Условиях использования, наши услуги состоят из [//www.wikimedia.org веб-сайтов проектов, которые мы размещаем], технологической инфраструктуры, которую мы поддерживаем, и любых технических пространств, которые мы размещаем для обслуживания и улучшения наших проектов.

Из-за нашей уникальной роли есть несколько моментов, о которых вам следует знать при рассмотрении наших отношений с вами, Проектами и другими участниками:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Мы не берём на себя редакционных ролей:''' Поскольку проекты являются совместно-редактируемыми, подавляющее большинство размещаемых нами материалов предоставляются такими же участниками, как и вы, и мы не берём на себя никаких редакционных функций. Это означает, что мы вообще не контролируем и не редактируем содержание веб-сайтов наших проектов, и не несём ответственности за это содержание. Точно так же, если прямо не указано иное, мы не поддерживаем любые мнения, выраженные с помощью наших сервисов, а также не представляем и не гарантируем достоверность, точность или надёжность созданных в проектах силами сообщества материалов.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Вы сами несёте ответственность за свои действия:''' Вы несёте юридическую ответственность за все свои действия по добавлению и изменению материалов в Проектах, повторному использование контента в проектах, использование вами API-интерфейсов и использование вами наших сервисов в целом. Для своей собственной безопасности вы должны проявлять осторожность и избегать совершения любых действий, которые могут повлечь за собой уголовную или гражданскую ответственность согласно применимому законодательству. Поясним, что в понятие «применимого законодательства» входят, как минимум, законы США и штата Калифорния. Для других стран это определяется в каждом конкретном случае. Хотя мы не можем и не соглашаться с такими действиями, мы предостерегаем пользователей, и в особенности — редакторов, авторов и всех, кто вносит свой вклад, — что власти разных стран, помимо США, могут попытаться применить к вам другие законы, в том числе местные законы страны вашего проживания или законы страны, в которой вы просматриваете или изменяете эти материалы. Мы не можем предложить никакой защиты, гарантии, иммунитета или компенсации в случае применения таких законов.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Политика конфиденциальности ==

Мы просим вас изучить [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|условия нашей Политики конфиденциальности]], чтобы вы знали о том, как мы собираем и используем информацию о вас.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Содержание наших проектов ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Вы можете счесть некоторые материалы нежелательным или ошибочными:''' Поскольку мы размещаем широкий спектр созданных или собранных другими участниками материалов, вы можете столкнуться с таким, который сочтёте оскорбительным, ошибочным, вводящим в заблуждение, неверно озаглавленным, или некорректным ещё по какой-либо причине. Поэтому мы просим вас при использовании наших сервисов сохранять здравый смысл и должную рассудительность.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Материалы проектов предназначены для общего ознакомления:''' Несмотря на то, что мы размещаем и публикуем в своих проектах большое количество информации по различным профессиональным темам, не исключая медицинских, юридических или финансовых вопросов, все эти материалы предоставляются исключительно в общеобразовательных целях. Их не следует воспринимать как профессиональные советы. Во всех случаях, когда вам нужна независимая профессиональная консультация, обращайтесь за ней к специалистам, обладающим лицензией и/или квалификацией в соответствующей области — вместо того, чтобы  руководствоваться какими бы то ни было сведениями, мнениями или рекомендациями, почерпнутыми с веб-сайтов любого из наших проектов.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Воздержание от некоторых видов деятельности==

Проекты, поддерживаемые Фондом Викимедиа, существуют только благодаря активному сообществу таких же, как и вы, участников, которые сотрудничают в области совместного написания, редактирования и выверки содержательных материалов. Мы рады приветствовать ваше участие в этом сообществе. Мы призываем вас соблюдать вежливость и корректность в общении с другими участниками сообщества, действовать добросовестно и стремиться к тому, чтобы размещаемые вами материалы и выполняемые вами изменения были направлены на содействие миссии этих общих проектов. Мы просим всех участников ознакомиться и следовать [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Универсальному кодексу поведения]] («UCoC»), в котором изложены требования к коллегиальному и гражданскому сотрудничеству во всех проектах, которые мы размещаем.

Отдельные виды деятельности, независимо от их законности или незаконности в соответствии с применимым законодательством, могут наносить ущерб другим участникам и нарушать наши правила, а за некоторые виды деятельности вам, быть может, придётся нести ответственность. Таким образом, для нашей собственной защиты и для защиты других участников, вам не разрешается заниматься подобной деятельностью или иным образом использовать наши Проекты. Это относится к следующим видам деятельности:

:'''Оскорбления и прочие злоупотребления'''
::* угрозы, преследование, распространение спама, вандализм или досаждение, как это описано в Универсальном кодексе поведения;
::* пересылка другим участникам «писем счастья», «информационного мусора» или спама;
::* публикация или изменение содержимого с намерением причинить серьёзный вред другим, например, преднамеренное побуждение к членовредительству или преднамеренное провоцирование эпилепсии.
:'''Нарушение конфиденциальности третьих лиц'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* нарушение права на личную жизнь других людей, согласно законодательству США или другим применимым законам (которые могут включать законы того региона, в котором вы живете или просматриваете и редактируете информацию);
::* выяснение личной информации с целью преследования, использования её для извлечения личной выгоды, для нарушения права неприкосновенности частной жизни или в любых рекламных или коммерческих целях, кроме случаев, когда такие цели в явной и недвусмысленной форме одобрены Фондом Викимедиа;
::* выяснение личной информации у лиц, не достигших 18 лет, или до возраста совершеннолетия, где вы находитесь, если там больше 18 лет, для незаконных целей или для нарушения любого действующего закона, относящегося к здоровью и благополучию несовершеннолетних.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Ложные заявления, имперсонация (подделка идентичности), или мошенничество'''
::* умышленная или сознательная публикация информации, представляющей собой клевету или наносящей ущерб репутации в соответствии с законами США;
::* публикация или изменение материалов с намерением обмануть или ввести в заблуждение других;
::* попытка выдать себя за другого участника или человека, искажение информации о ваших взаимоотношениях с любым физическим или юридическим лицом, сокрытие вашей принадлежности к какому-либо физическому или юридическому лицу, когда раскрытие информации требуется в соответствии с настоящими условиями или местной политикой проекта, или использование имени или названия учётной записи другого человека с целью обмана;
::* участие в мошенничестве.
:'''Нарушения прав интеллектуальной собственности'''
::* нарушения авторских прав, торговых марок, патентов или других прав собственности согласно применимому законодательству.
:'''Злоупотребление нашими сервисами в прочих противоправных целях'''

::* публикация или участие в незаконном обороте порнографических материалов, что является недопустимым в соответствии с применимым законодательством;
::* использование сервисов способом, противоречащим действующему законодательству.
:'''Участие в злоупотреблении предоставляемыми возможностями деструктивным и незаконным образом'''
::* размещение или распространение материалов, содержащих вирусы, вредоносные программы, «черви», программы типа «троянский конь», вредоносные коды или другие средства, способные причинить ущерб технической инфраструктуре или системе наших проектов или других участников;
::* автоматизированное использование сайтов проектов, ненадлежащее или разрушительное для процесса предоставления услуг, нарушение приемлемых условий использования, где они доступны, или не одобренное сообществом Викимедиа;
::* нарушение процесса предоставления услуг из-за того, что API, сайт проекта, а также связанные с ним сети или серверы подвергаются чрезмерной нагрузке;
::* нарушение работы сервисов путём «наводнения» любого из сайтов проекта сообщениями или другим трафиком, цель которого не имеет отношения к использованию сайтов проекта в заявленных целях;
::* намеренный доступ, вмешательство или использование любой из закрытых областей наших компьютерных систем без разрешения;
::* зондирование, сканирование или тестирование уязвимости наших технических систем или сетей, за исключением случаев, когда:
:::*такие действия не служат ненадлежащему использованию или не ведут к нарушению работы наших технических систем и сетей;
:::*такие действия не служат целям личной выгоды (за исключением признания вашей работы);
:::* вы сообщаете об уязвимости соответствующим разработчикам(или исправляете её самостоятельно);
:::*вы совершаете такие действия не с целью причинения вреда или нарушения работы нашей системы или проектов.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Сокрытие информации об оплачиваемом участии'''

::* вы должны раскрыть каждого работодателя, клиента, предполагаемого бенефициара и аффилированность в отношении любого вклада, за который вы получаете или рассчитываете получить компенсацию. Вы должны выполнить такое раскрытие по меньшей мере одним из следующих способов:
::* заявление на вашей персональной странице участника, 
::* заявление на странице обсуждения, сопровождающее любое оплаченное участие, или 
::* заявление в поле краткого описания изменений, сопровождающее любое оплаченное участие.
::* кроме того, если вы размещаете в Википедии публичную рекламу услуг по редактированию Проектов в обмен на какую-либо компенсацию, вы должны раскрыть все учётные записи Википедии, которые вы использовали или будете использовать для этой услуги, в публичной публикации на сторонних сервисах.
::* Ещё большие ограничения на оплачиваемое участие или необходимость более детального раскрытия информации о нём могут определяться как применимым законодательством, так и специфичные для проекта или установленные Фондом правила и политики, касающиеся, в частности, конфликта интересов.
::* Сообщество конкретного проекта Викимедиа может принять собственную альтернативную политику в отношении раскрытия информации об оплаченном участии, которая может дополнить или заменить этот раздел. Если в проекте действует собственная политика такого рода, вы должны делать вклад в такой проект с соблюдением её положений, вместо требований данного раздела (озаглавленного «Сокрытие информации об оплачиваемом участии»).

:: Для более подробной информации, пожалуйста, прочитайте наши [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|ответы на часто задаваемые вопросы по поводу раскрытия информации об оплаченном участии]].


Нераскрытое редактирование участниками, получавшими вознаграждение, создаёт необоснованное бремя для редакторов-добровольцев, [[:w:ru:Википедия:Конфликт интересов|расследующих и применяющих политику сообщества]]. Следовательно, в отношении нарушений этого раздела, связанных с нераскрытым платным редактированием, вы соглашаетесь подчиняться обязательному «мед-арб» («медиации маркетинговой компании»), как описано в разделе 14 настоящих Условий использования.

Мы оставляем за собой право по своему усмотрению применять меры в отношении положений раздела 4 настоящих Условий использования. При необходимости, обеспечение соблюдения настоящих условий может включать действия, не перечисленные в Политике Фонда Викимедиа, касающейся [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|официальных действий]]. Если придётся действовать в новых обстоятельствах, мы приложим усилия в течение не более одного (1) года для обновления Политики официальных действий, чтобы внести новый тип действий в каталог.

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==5. Безопасность паролей==

Вы несёте ответственность за сохранение собственного пароля и других учётных данных, от которых зависит ваша безопасность, и никогда не должны разглашать их третьим лицам.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==6. Торговые марки и товарные знаки==

Хотя у вас есть значительная свобода для повторного использования содержимого веб-сайтов наших проектов, важно отметить, что мы, Фонд Викимедиа,  защищаем наши права на товарные знаки, чтобы мы могли защитить наших пользователей от мошеннических имитаций. В связи с этим мы убедительно просим вас уважать наши товарные знаки. Все товарные знаки Фонда Викимедиа принадлежат Фонду Викимедиа (Wikimedia Foundation Inc), и поэтому любое использование наших торговых имён, товарных знаков, знаков обслуживания, логотипов или доменных имён должно производиться согласно настоящим «Условиям использования» и в соответствии с нашей [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy| политикой в отношении торговых марок]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Лицензирования содержимого==

Для увеличения объёма свободных знаний и развития свободной культуры, от каждого, кто делает какой-либо вклад в проекты Викимедиа или веб-сайты этих проектов, требуется предоставить неограниченному кругу лиц широкие права на свободное повторное распространение и использование своего вклада — при условии, что в течение всего срока использования будет сохраняться указание авторства и ссылка на источник (т.н. «атрибуция»), а для любых производных произведений будет сохраняться такая же свобода повторного использования и распространения. В соответствии с нашей целью предоставления свободной информации максимально широкой аудитории, мы требуем, чтобы все предоставляемые материалы были лицензированы таким образом, чтобы они могли быть свободно использованы любым, кто имеет к ним доступ.

Вы соглашаетесь со следующими лицензионными требованиями:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Текст, авторские права на который принадлежат вам''' Если вы вносите текст, авторские права на который принадлежат вам, вы соглашаетесь с его лицензированием по:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} лицензии Creative Commons «С указанием авторства — С сохранением условий» версии 4.0 Международная] («CC BY-SA 4.0»), а также 

* [//www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.ru.html лицензии GNU Free Documentation] («GFDL») (без номера версии, без неизменяемых разделов, без помещаемых на первой и последней обложке текстов).

Пользователи, использующие материалы повторно, могут выбрать одну из лицензий или обе.&lt;br /&gt;
Единственное исключение — случай, когда какой-либо раздел одного из наших проектов или один из функциональных модулей требует использования другой лицензии. В таком случае вы соглашаетесь лицензировать любой внесённый вами текст в соответствии с конкретной лицензией, предусмотренной в этом конкретном разделе или функциональном модуле.

Пожалуйста, обратите внимание на то, что эти лицензии разрешают коммерческое использование вашего вклада, если такое использование производится с соблюдением изложенных здесь условий соответствующих лицензий. Если вы являетесь владельцем прав на базу данных Sui Generis, подпадающих под действие CC BY-SA 4.0, вы отказываетесь от этих прав. Например, это означает, что факты, которые вы вносите в проекты, могут быть свободно использованы повторно без указания авторства.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Атрибуция:''' Атрибуция (указание автора и источника) — важная составная часть этих лицензий. Мы считаем необходимым отдавать должное тем, кто этого заслуживает — таким же авторам, как и вы. Внося текст, вы соглашаетесь на указание в дальнейшем вашего авторства любым из следующих способов:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;посредством гиперссылки (там, где это возможно) либо указания URL-адреса статьи или статей, где имеется ваш вклад (поскольку каждая статья имеет свою страницу истории изменений, где перечислены все авторы, редакторы и участники, сделавшие хоть какой-то вклад);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;посредством гиперссылки (там, где это возможно) либо указания URL-адреса альтернативной стабильной свободно доступной онлайновой копии, отвечающей условиям соответствующей лицензии и ссылающейся на авторов способом, аналогичным указаниям авторства на веб-сайте проекта (раздела); или&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;посредством указания списка всех авторов (с учётом того, что любой список авторов может быть отфильтрован для исключения очень небольшого или неподходящего вклада).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Импорт текста:''' Вы можете импортировать текст, найденный вами в другом месте, либо написанный вами в соавторстве, но только в том случае, если вы заявляете и гарантируете, что текст доступен на условиях, совместимых с условиями лицензии CC-BY-SA (или, как сказано выше, другой лицензии, если это требование конкретного раздела одного из наших проектов или функционального модуля). Список совместимых лицензий можно найти на странице [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Вы не должны импортировать материалы, доступные исключительно по лицензии GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Вы соглашаетесь с тем, что импортируя текст, доступный по лицензии CC, требующей указания авторства (т.н. «атрибуции»), вы должны указать автора(ов) разумным образом. Если такая атрибуция обычно дается в виде ссылки на страницу истории изменений (как, например, при копировании внутри Википедии), то при импорте текста достаточно указать такую ссылку в комментарии к правке, что отразится в истории изменений страницы. Требования к форме атрибуции иногда могут оказаться слишком навязчивыми (вне зависимости от лицензии), и возможны ситуации, когда сообщество Викимедиа решит, что импортированный текст не может быть использован по этой причине.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Нетекстовые медиаданные:''' Нетекстовые медиаданные проектов Фонда Викимедиа доступны по различным лицензиям, которые соответствуют общей цели обеспечения неограниченного повторного использования и распространения. Если вы загружаете нетекстовые медиаданные, вы соглашаетесь соблюдать требования таких лицензий, в соответствии с нашими [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|правилами лицензирования]], а также соответствовать требованиям конкретного раздела одного из наших проектов или функционального модуля, в рамках которого делаете свой вклад. См. также [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|правила лицензирования Викисклада (Wikimedia Commons)]] с более подробной информацией о размещении на Викискладе нетекстовых медиаданных.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Безотзывность лицензии:''' Вы подтверждаете, что не намерены в одностороннем порядке отзывать или объявлять недействительной лицензию, которую вы применили в соответствии с этими «Условиями использования» для текстовых материалов или нетекстовых медиаданных, размещённых в проектах или функциональных модулях, за исключением предусмотренных этой лицензией случаев, даже если вы прекратили использование наших сервисов.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Материалы в общественном достоянии:''' Приветствуются материалы, находящиеся в общественном достоянии! Однако, важно, чтобы вы подтвердили, что статус общественного достояния соответствует  законодательству США, а также законами любой другой страны, согласно требованиями конкретного проекта или языкового раздела. Когда вы размещаете что-либо, находящееся в общественном достоянии, вы гарантируете, что этот материал действительно находится в общественном достоянии, и вы согласны пометить его соответствующим образом.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Повторное использование:''' Приветствуется повторное использование размещаемых на сайтах наших проектов информационных материалов, однако существуют некоторые исключения для материалов, размещаемых на условиях «добросовестного использования» («fair use»), или аналогичные исключения с применимым законодательством об авторском праве. Любое повторное использование материалов должно соответствовать условиям основной лицензии или основных лицензий.&lt;br /&gt;

При повторном использовании или повторном распространении текстовой страницы, созданной сообществом Викимедиа, вы соглашаетесь указывать авторов этих материалов одним из следующих способов:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;посредством гиперссылки (там, где это возможно) или указания URL-адреса повторно используемой страницы или страниц (так как каждая страница имеет свою историю изменений, где перечислены все участники, авторы и редакторы);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;посредством гиперссылки (там, где это возможно) или указания URL-адреса альтернативной стабильной находящейся в свободном доступе онлайновой копии, соответствующей требованиям лицензии и содержащей сведения об авторстве, оформленные способом, аналогичным способу указания авторства на сайте проекта;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;посредством указания списка всех авторов (с учётом того, что любой список авторов может быть отфильтрован для исключения очень небольшого или неподходящего вклада).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Если текстовые информационные материалы были импортированы из другого источника, не исключено, что эти материалы защищены лицензией, условия которой схожи с условиями лицензии CC BY-SA, но не лицензии GFDL (как описано выше в разделе «Импорт текста»). В этом случае вы обязуетесь выполнять условия, совместимые с условиями лицензии CC BY-SA, и не можете повторно лицензировать информационные материалы на условиях GFDL. Чтобы определить, какая лицензии действует в отношении информационных материалов, которые вы хотите использовать или далее распространить, нужно просмотреть нижний колонтитул страницы (т.н. «подвал» или &quot;footer&quot;), страницу истории изменений и страницу обсуждения статьи.

Кроме того, помните, что текст, источником которого является внешний ресурс и который был импортирован в проект, может быть защищён лицензией, выдвигающей дополнительные требования к указанию авторства и ссылкам на источник. Пользователи обязуются чётко соблюдать эти дополнительные требования к указанию авторства и источника. В зависимости от проекта, такие требования могут отражаться, например, в заголовке или других уведомлениях, указывающих, что некоторые или все помещённые на странице материалы были первоначально опубликованы в другом месте. Там, где есть такие видимые обозначения, пользователи должны сохранять их при дальнейшем использовании материалов.

При использовании нетекстовых информационных материалов вы обязуетесь соблюдать условия всех применимых лицензий, действующих в отношении этих произведений (об этих условиях можно узнать, нажав на название произведения и посмотрев в раздел лицензирования на странице описания, либо обратившись к странице источника этого произведения). Используя для своих целей любую размещенную на сайтах наших проектов информацию, вы обязуетесь соблюдать соответствующие требования к указанию авторства и источника, согласно условиям основной лицензии или основных лицензий.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Внесение изменений или дополнений в материалы при их повторном использовании:''' Внося изменения или дополнения в текст, взятый с веб-сайта проекта, вы соглашаетесь с тем, чтобы изменённые или дополненные материалы были доступны на условиях лицензии CC BY-SA 4.0 или её более поздней версии (или, как говорилось выше, другой лицензии, если именно она требуется для данного раздела проекта или функционального модуля).&lt;br /&gt;

Внося изменения или дополнения в нетекстовые материалы, взятые с сайта проекта, вы соглашаетесь с тем, чтобы к изменённым или дополненным материалам применялись условия лицензии, на которых данное произведение стало доступным.&lt;br /&gt;

В отношении как текстовых, так и нетекстовых материалов вы обязуетесь чётко указывать, что оригинальное произведение было изменено. Если вы повторно используете текстовые материалы в вики, достаточно указать в истории изменений страницы, что вы внесли изменения в импортированный текст. К каждой распространяемой вами скопированной или изменённой версии вы обязуетесь добавлять уведомление о том, на условиях какой лицензии публикуется данное произведение, а также оставлять URL-адрес или гиперссылку на текст лицензии либо прилагать собственно копию текста лицензии.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

Фонд Викимедиа стремится к тому, чтобы пользователи могли повторно использовать в своих целях размещаемые на сайтах наших проектов материалы, не опасаясь ответственности и не боясь нарушить права собственности других людей. Ради сохранения справедливости по отношению к нашим пользователям, а также другим авторам и владельцам авторских прав, наша политика заключается в том, чтобы реагировать на сообщения о предполагаемых нарушениях в соответствии с процедурами «Закона об авторском праве в цифровую эпоху» (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA). В соответствии с DMCA, мы будем, при соответствующих обстоятельствах, блокировать уличённых в многократных нарушениях пользователей и владельцев учётных записей в наших проектах и сервисах.

Однако мы также понимаем, что не каждое сообщение о необходимости блокировки нужно считать достоверным и составленным с благими намерениями. В таких случаях мы настоятельно рекомендуем участникам прислать встречное уведомление, если у них есть достаточные основания полагать, что запрос о блокировке в связи с нарушением DMCA является ошибочным или неприменимым. Для получения дополнительной информации о том, что делать, если вы считаете, что сообщение о нарушении норм DMCA было подано ошибочно, обратитесь к сайту [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Если вы являетесь владельцем информационных материалов, которые в настоящее время неподобающим образом используются в рамках одного из проектов без вашего разрешения, вы можете потребовать, чтобы эти материалы быть удалены, подав уведомление в соответствии с DMCA. Чтобы подать соответствующий запрос, пожалуйста, напишите по электронному адресу {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} или воспользуйтесь обычной почтой и [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|напишите нашему полномочному представителю]].

Кроме того, вы можете обратиться с запросом к нашему сообществу, которое часто разрешает проблему с авторскими правами быстрее и эффективнее, чем это предусмотрено процедурами DMCA. В этом случае вы можете опубликовать уведомление с описанием своих проблем относительно авторских прав. На [[:m:Copyright problems|странице, посвящённой проблемам с авторскими правами]], приводится неполный неофициальный список соответствующих процессов, относящихся к различным разделам наших проектов. Прежде чем подать иск о нарушении норм DMCA, вы также можете отправить электронное письмо сообществу по адресу {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 9. Сторонние веб-сайты и ресурсы ==

Вы несёте полную ответственность за использование любых сторонних веб-сайтов или ресурсов. Несмотря на тот, что наши проекты и сайты проектов содержат ссылки на сторонние веб-сайты и ресурсы, мы не одобряем и не несем ответственности за их доступность, точность и достоверность, а также за связанный с этими ресурсами контент, продукты или услуги (включая, без ограничений, любые вирусы или другие деструктивные  функции); мы также не берём на себя никаких обязательств по мониторингу подобного стороннего содержимого.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Управление веб-сайтами ==

Сообщество играет ведущую роль в создании и принуждении к выполнению правил, действующих в отношении различных разделов наших проектов. Фонд Викимедиа редко вмешивается в процессы принятия решений относительно правил и принуждения к их исполнению.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Вы можете уведомить нас о незаконных материалах или материалах, нарушающих наши Условия использования по другим причинам (включая все политики и другие документы, на которые идут ссылки) [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|связавшись с нами напрямую]]. Однако, как правило, вы можете отправить запрос непосредственно сообществу Проекта: это может быть более эффективным и больше соответствует цели наших Проектов по расширению возможностей сообщества участников.
&lt;/div&gt;


В каждом Проекте обычно есть страницы «Помощь» или «Контакты» с дальнейшими руководствами или специальные инструменты для сообщения о проблемах. В качестве альтернативы — если вы сомневаетесь — можете обратиться за помощью к членам сообщества, отправив электронное письмо на адрес {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} или другой адрес для конкретного языка со [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|страницы волонтёрской команды содействия]]. Обратите внимание, что эти почтовые ящики проверяются участниками Проектов, а не Фондом. Поэтому не следует им угрожать или выдвигать юридические требования.

Если вы обращаетесь в Фонд с проблемой, мы, как правило, изучаем, могут ли существующие механизмы сообщества изучить и, при необходимости, решить её, и если да, то каким образом.

В некоторых исключительных случаях может возникнуть необходимость, или сообщество может обратиться к нам, чтобы мы урегулировали затруднения с особо проблемным участником или содержимым в связи со значительными нарушениями правил проекта или опасным поведением с его стороны. В таких случаях мы оставляем за собой право, по нашему собственному усмотрению (или по закону):

* изучить использование вами наших проектов или сервисов, чтобы (а) определить, имело ли место нарушение настоящих «Условий использования», правил конкретного раздела проекта или других применимых законов или политик, либо (б) выполнить требования действующего законодательства, судебного процесса или соответствующего правительственного запроса;
* выявлять, предупреждать или предпринимать другие меры в отношении мошенничества, ложной или непроверенной информации, разрешения проблем с безопасностью или технических вопросов, либо отвечать на запросы пользователей;
* блокировать, отменять, отказывать в доступе или ограничивать доступ к материалам, опубликованным участником, нарушающим настоящие «Условий использования»;
* запретить участнику редактировать или размещать материалы, либо заблокировать учётную запись участника или отказать ему в доступе в ответ на действия, нарушающие настоящие «Условия использования», в том числе за повторное размещение незаконных материалов по применимому законодательству в соответствии с принципами прав человека;
* предпринять предусмотренные законом меры против пользователей, нарушающих настоящие «Условия использования» (в том числе, уведомить правоохранительные органы);
* иным образом управлять сайтами проекта таким образом, чтобы обеспечить их надлежащее функционирование и защиту прав, собственности и безопасности нас и наших участников, пользователей, лицензиаров, партнёров и общественности.

Эти действия Фонда по модерации могут быть выполнены с помощью программного обеспечения (например, защита от переполнения трафика («Отказ в обслуживании»)). В таких случаях, как правило, доступна ручная проверка [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|по запросу]].

В интересах наших проектов, их участников и пользователей, в крайних обстоятельствах, когда чья-либо учётная запись или доступ были заблокированы в соответствии с настоящим разделом, такой человек не имеет права создать или использовать другую учётную запись или  получить доступ к тому же проекту, если только мы не дадим на это чёткого и ясного разрешения. Чтобы не ограничивать власть сообщества, Фонд сам по себе не будет запрещать участнику редактировать или публиковать материалы, а также не будет блокировать учётную запись участника или его доступ к проекту только из-за конструктивной критики, которая не приводит к действиям, любым другим образом нарушающим настоящие «Условия использования» или правила сообщества.

Сообщество Викимедиа и его члены могут также принимать меры в отношении пользователей, нарушающих эти правила, включая, среди прочего, предупреждение, расследование, блокировку или отключение таких пользователей, если подобное допускается сообществом и правилами Фонда, применимыми к конкретной версии проекта. Вы даете согласие соблюдать окончательные решения органов, разрешающих споры. Такие органы (например, арбитражные комитеты) создаются сообществом в рамках конкретной версии проекта; их решения могут включать санкции, изложенные в правилах той или иной версии проекта.

В отношении особо проблемных участников, чьи учётные записи или доступ были заблокированы сразу в нескольких разделах наших проектов, может быть применён запрет на редактирование и использование других возможностей привилегированного доступа в отношении сразу всех проектов и их разделов, в соответствии с [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Политикой глобального запрета («глобального бана»)]].  В отличие от решений Совета попечителей или настоящих «Условий использования», принятые сообществом правила и политики, действующие в одном или нескольких разделах наших проектов (как, например, «Политика глобального запрета»), могут быть изменены соответствующими сообществами согласно их собственным процедурам.

Блокировка учётной записи участника или ограничение его прав доступа, а также запрет использовать какие-либо возможности в рамках проектов («бан»), осуществляемые согласно этому положению, должны соответствовать разделу 13 настоящих «Условий использования».

Если вы считаете, что мы неудовлетворительно отреагировали на сообщение о проблемном содержимом, или если вы подверглись модерации со стороны Фонда, которую вы хотите оспорить, то можете [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|подать апелляцию]]. Другая информация о путях обжалования также может быть разъяснена вам во время рассмотрения или на справочных страницах конкретных проектов.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Мы оставляем за собой право приостановить (временно или навсегда) нашу обработку обращений или другой корреспонденции от участников или третьих лиц, будь то сообщения о предположительно незаконном/сомнительном содержимом или поведении, или запрос апелляции против действий модератора в том случае, если такая корреспонденция была недобросовестной, повторяющейся, необоснованной и/или оскорбительной. При определённых обстоятельствах ваш адрес электронной почты может быть даже заблокирован в нашей системе электронной почты, и тогда вам нужно будет связаться с нами [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|по нашему почтовому адресу]], если вы захотите продолжать переписку с нами во время блокировки. Для менее серьёзных случаев (например, до трёх вежливых электронных писем по поводу одной или нескольких необоснованных жалоб) это, вероятно, будет временным. Более частые или более оскорбительные сообщения с большей вероятностью приведут к постоянным мерам.

Совет попечителей Фонда Викимедиа  время от времени выпускает [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|официальные правила]]. Некоторые из этих правил могут быть обязательными для конкретного проекта или его раздела, и если они есть, вы соглашаетесь соблюдать их, насколько это возможно.

Мы предоставляем набор API-интерфейсов, который включает документацию и соответствующие инструменты, чтобы участники могли создавать продукты, продвигающие бесплатные знания. Используя наши API, вы соглашаетесь соблюдать все применимые правила, регулирующие использование API, которые включают, помимо прочего, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Политику использования User-Agent]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Политику для роботов]] и [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Этикет]] (в целом именуемые «Документация по API»), которые включены в настоящие Условия использования посредством ссылки.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Прекращение ==

Хотя мы и надеемся, что вы продолжите и впредь вносить вклад в наши проекты, вы можете в любой момент отказаться от использования наших сервисов. В некоторых (мы надеемся, что маловероятных) обстоятельствах может оказаться необходимым, чтобы в целях защиты интересов Фонда, сообщества Викимедиа или его отдельных участников (согласно разделу 10) было прекращено полностью или частично предоставление вам доступа к нашим сервисам, остановлено действие этих «Условий использования», заблокирована ваша учётная запись или доступ, или же был наложен запрет на ваше участие как пользователя (т.н. «бан»). Если ваша учётная запись или доступ заблокированы или иным образом ограничены  по какой-либо причине, ваш публичный вклад и записи о вашей деятельности в рамках проектов или в связи с ними (включая любую корреспонденцию, которую вы нам отправили) не будут затронуты (согласно применимым правилам), и вы все равно можете получить доступ к нашим общедоступным страницам для единственной цели чтения общедоступного содержания наших проектов. Однако, в таких условиях вы не сможете получить доступ к вашей учётной записи или персональным настройкам. Однако, независимо от любого другого положения настоящих Условий использования, мы оставляем за собой право приостановить или прекратить оказание услуг в любое время, с указанием или без указания причины, а также с предварительным уведомлением или без оного. Даже после того, как ваше участие запрещено, заблокировано или иным образом приостановлено, данные «Условия использования» будут оставаться в силе в отношении соответствующих положений, в том числе разделы 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9—16 и 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Обратите на это особое внимание''

Мы надеемся, что ваше участие не будет сопровождаться никакими серьёзными разногласиями, однако в случае возникновения споров мы призываем вас разрешать их посредством соответствующих процедур или механизмов разрешения споров, обеспечиваемых нашими проектами или их разделами, а также Фондом Викимедиа. Если вы намерены подать против нас судебный иск, вы соглашаетесь подавать его и разрешать спор только в суде штата или федеральном суде, расположенном в Сан-Франциско, штат Калифорния. Вы также соглашаетесь, что настоящие «Условия использования», а также любые юридические претензии, которые могут возникнуть между нами, будут регулироваться и разрешаться на основании законов штата Калифорния, и, по мере необходимости, законов США (без ссылки на принцип коллизионного права). Вы обязуетесь подчиняться персональной юрисдикции и соглашаетесь с целесообразностью места рассмотрения дела, каковым являются суды, расположенные в Сан-Франциско, штат Калифорния, в любых правовых действиях или процедурах, имеющих отношение к нам или настоящим «Условиям использования».

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Чтобы гарантировать, что споры будут решаться незамедлительно после их возникновения, вы соглашаетесь, что, независимо от любого законодательного акта или закона, утверждающего обратное, любые имеющиеся у вас претензии или основания для иска, которые вытекают из или связаны с использованием наших сервисов или с настоящими «Условиями использования», должны быть поданы (в зависимости от того, что наступит ранее) в течение установленного срока исковой давности или в течение 1 (одного) года после того, как соответствующие факты, составляющие основу такой претензии или иска, могли быть обнаружены при разумной внимательности (или навсегда запрещены).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Как описано в разделе 4 настоящих Условий использования, вы соглашаетесь устранять нарушения в части оплачиваемого участия без раскрытия информации во время медиации маркетинговой компании по усмотрению Фонда. Медиации маркетинговых компаний — это '''обязывающее''' посредничество, при котором в конце полудневной или полнодневной сессии по любым спорным вопросам, которые остаются нерешёнными, посредником принимаются юридически обязывающие решения. Они будут проводиться на заседаниях в формате телеконференций или видеоконференций. Если требуется личная встреча, медиация маркетинговой компании будет проходить в округе Сан-Франциско (Калифорния). Все сборы и расходы, связанные с посредничеством/арбитражем, стороны будут делить поровну.

В рамках медиации маркетинговой компании вы соглашаетесь сотрудничать с Фондом, в том числе путём своевременного предоставления любой имеющейся у вас документации, касающейся вашей нераскрытой платной деятельности по редактированию, включая используемые учётные записи, затронутые статьи и клиентов, которые приобрели такие услуги.

Медиации маркетинговых компаний подпадают под действие Федерального закона об арбитраже и регулируются им в той мере, в какой посредник становится арбитром. Выигравшая сторона имеет право на возмещение гонораров своим адвокатам (включая все гонорары, необходимые для определения применимости медиации маркетинговой компании и обеспечения обязательного результата) и всех расходов, связанных с расследованием и реализацией её прав. Сторона может считаться «выигравшей», даже если она не выиграла по каждому заявленному иску.

Если по какой-либо причине все эти требования медиация маркетинговой компании окажутся неисполнимыми, вы соглашаетесь разрешать любые споры так, как описано в начале этого раздела.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Несмотря на то, что Фонд Викимедиа делает всё возможное для обеспечения доступности образовательных и информационных материалов самой широкой аудитории, вы используете наши сервисы на свой страх и риск. Мы предоставляем эти сервисы по принципу «как есть» (&quot;as is&quot;) и «как доступно» (&quot;as available&quot;), и мы недвусмысленно отказываемся давать любые явные или подразумеваемые гарантии любого рода, включая, среди прочего, подразумеваемые гарантии товарного состояния, пригодности для конкретных целей и отсутствия нарушений авторских прав. Мы не даем никаких гарантий того, что наши сервисы будут соответствовать вашим требованиям, будут безопасными, надёжными, бесперебойными, своевременными, точными и безошибочными или что ваша информация будет защищена.

Мы не несём ответственности за содержание данных или действия третьих лиц, и вы освобождаете нас, наших директоров, должностных лиц, сотрудников и агентов от любых имеющихся у вас в отношении любых третьих лиц претензий и требований возмещения убытков, известных и неизвестных, каким-либо образом связанных с какими-либо претензиями или вытекающих из них. Никакие советы или информация, полученные вами от нас или посредством наших сервисов, либо благодаря им, будь то в устной или письменной форме, не гарантируют ничего, если только это чётко и ясно не указано в настоящих «Условиях использования».

Загрузка или получение иным образом любых материалов посредством использования наших сервисов осуществляется вами на собственный страх и риск, и вы будете нести полную ответственность за ущерб, нанесенный вашей компьютерной системе, или потерю данных в результате загрузки таких материалов. Вы соглашаетесь с тем, что мы не несем никакой ответственности или обязательств за удаление, повреждение, потерю или невозможность передачи каких-либо материалов или сообщений, относящихся к нашим сервисам. Мы оставляем за собой право в любое время, после предварительного уведомления или без оного, по собственному усмотрению устанавливать ограничения на использование и хранение информационных материалов.

В некоторых штатах или юрисдикциях не допускаются отказы от ответственности, подобные приведённым в данном разделе, поэтому, в зависимости от закона, они могут частично или в полном объёме оказаться к вам неприменимы.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Фонд Викимедиа не будет нести ответственности перед вами или любым другим лицом за любые прямые, косвенные, случайные, специальные, последующие или штрафные убытки, включая (но не ограничиваясь этим) упущенную прибыль, ущерб деловой репутации, компенсации за использование, порчу данных или другие нематериальные убытки, независимо от наличия предупреждений о возможности таких убытков. Ни при каких обстоятельствах наша ответственность в совокупности не может превышать тысячу долларов США (USD 1000,00). В том случае, если действующее законодательство не допускает ограничения или исключения ответственности за случайные или косвенные убытки, вышеуказанное ограничение или исключение может не распространяться на ваш случай, хотя наша ответственность будет ограничена в максимальной степени, разрешённой действующим законодательством.&lt;/div&gt;

Поскольку вклад сообщества Викимедиа имеет исключительно важен для роста и поддержания наших проектов, мы считаем информирование и вовлечённость сообщества важным элементом того, чтобы настоящие «Условия использования» должным образом отвечали интересам участников наших проектов. Это также необходимо для того, чтобы такое соглашение могло считаться «справедливым контрактом» (''fair contract''). Поэтому мы обязуемся предоставить сообществу для обсуждения и комментирования эти «Условия использования» (а также любые их будущие редакции) по меньшей мере за 30 (тридцать) дней до окончания периода, отведённого на обсуждения и  комментарии. Если планируются существенные изменения, мы предоставим дополнительные 30 дней для представления замечаний после публикации перевода предлагаемых изменений по крайней мере на трёх языках (выбранных по нашему усмотрению).Сообществу будет предложено перевести предлагаемые изменения на другие языки по мере необходимости. В случаях изменений, вызванных правовыми или административными причинами, необходимостью исправить неточные заявления, или являющихся реакцией на комментарии сообщества, мы намерены отвести по крайней мере 3 (три) дня на предварительное уведомление.

Так как может оказаться необходимым время от времени изменять эти «Условия использования», мы предоставим уведомление о таких изменениях и возможность высказать свои замечания через веб-сайты наших проектов, а также через список рассылки [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Тем не менее, мы просим вас периодически просматривать самую последнюю версию настоящих «Условий использования». То, что вы продолжаете пользоваться нашими сервисами после того, как новая версия «Условий использования» становится официальной вслед за уведомлением и по завершении последующего дискуссионного периода, рассматривается как ваше согласие с настоящими «Условиями использования». Для защиты Фонда Викимедиа и других таких же, как и вы, участников и пользователей, не пользуйтесь нашими сервисами, если не согласны с нашими «Условиями использования».

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Другие условия ==

Настоящие «Условия использования» не создают отношений занятости, агентства, партнёрства, совместного контроля или совместного предприятия между вами и нами, Фондом Викимедиа.  Для целей законодательства Европейской экономической зоны, законодательства Соединенного Королевства или других законов, включающих аналогичную концепцию, вы не действуете «под руководством» Фонда, когда пользуетесь сервисами. Если вы не подписывали с нами отдельного соглашения, настоящие «Условия использования» представляют собой исчерпывающее соглашение между вами и нами. Если есть противоречие между настоящими «Условиями использования» и подписанным между вами и нами письменным соглашением, преимущественную силу имеет подписанное соглашение.

Вы соглашаетесь с тем, что мы можем уведомлять вас, в том числе о внесении изменений в «Условия использования», посредством вашей электронной почты, обычной почтовой связи или путём размещения сообщений в проектах или веб-сайтах проектов.

Если при каких-либо обстоятельствах мы не применяем или не настаиваем на принудительном применении какого-либо положения настоящих «Условий использования», это не свидетельствует об отказе от этого положения.

Вы осознаёте, что, если иное не оговорено нами в письменной форме, вы не должны ожидать получения компенсации за любую деятельность, вклад или идею, которую вы предоставляете нам, сообществу, а также проектам или их отдельным разделам.

Невзирая на любые положения настоящих «Условий использования», в которых утверждается обратное, мы (Фонд Викимедиа) вместе с вами совместно обязуемся не изменять действующие условия и требования любой свободной лицензии, которая используется в проектах или их разделах, если использование такой свободной лицензии разрешено настоящими «Условиями использования».

Настоящие «Условия использования» были написаны на английском языке (американский вариант). Мы, несомненно, надеемся, что переводы настоящих «Условий использования» точны. Но в случае каких-либо разночтений между оригинальной английской версией и переводом преимущество имеет оригинальная версия на английском языке.

Если какое-либо положение или часть положения настоящих «Условий использования» будет признано незаконным, недействительным или неисполнимым, такое положение или часть положения будет считаться отделённым от настоящих «Условий использования» и будет исполняться в максимально возможной разрешённой степени, с сохранением в силе всех остальных положений настоящих «Условий использования».

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Спасибо! ==

'''''Camienta nun mundu nel que cada ser humanu pue compartir llibremente p'aumentar tol conocimientu. Esi ye'l nuesu llabor.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|La nuesa visión de los proyeutos]]

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
¡Bienllegáu a Wikimedia! La Fundación Wikimedia, Inc. (&quot;nós&quot;), ye una organización ensin ánimu de porgüeyu cola [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|misión]] d'animar y sofitar a xente de tol mundu a coleicionar y desenrollar conteníu baxo una [[w:en:Free content|llicencia llibre]] o nel dominiu públicu, y a espardelo global y eficientemente, llibre de cargos.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pa sofitar a la nuesa vibrante comunidá, proporcionamos la infraestructura esencial y el marcu organizativu pal desenrollu de Proyectos wiki multillingües y les sos ediciones (talo y como s'esplica [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|equí]]) y otros esfuercios que sirvan a esta misión. Naguamos por facer y caltener conteníu educativu y informativu de los Proyeutos disponibles n'internet llibres de cargos y pa siempre.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Dámoste (&quot;tu&quot; o l'&quot;usuariu&quot;) la bienllegada como llector, editor, autor o collaborador a los Proyeutos Wikimedia, y animámoste a que te xunas a la comunidá de Wikimedia. Enantes de participar, sicasí, pidímoste por favor que lleas y deas el vistu bonu a los Términos d'Usu siguientes (&quot;Términos d'Usu&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Estos Términos d'Usu esplíquente los servicios públicos de la Fundación Wikimedia, la nuesa rellación contigo como usuariu, y los drechos y deberes que nos guíen a toos. Queremos que sepas qu'agospiamos una ablucante cantidá de conteníu educativu y informativu, siendo aportáu y siendo vidable por usuarios como tu. Xeneralmente nun contribuyimos, monitorizamos nin desaniciamos conteníu (cola rara esceición de polítiques como estos Términos d'Usu o notificaciones llegales como [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]]). Esto significa que'l control editorial ta nes tos manes y nes de los tos usuarios compañeros que creáis y remanáis el conteníu. Nós únicamente agospiamos esti conteníu.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
La comunidá (la rede d'usuarios que tán construyendo y usando de contino los distintos sitios o Proyeutos) ye'l mediu principal pel que s'algamaron los oxetivos de la misión. La comunidá contribúi y ayuda a controlar los nuesos sitios. La comunidá asume la función crítica de crear y xestionar polítiques pa les ediciones específiques de Proyeutos (como les ediciones n'otres llingües del proyeutu Wikipedia o la edición multillingüe de Wikimedia Commons).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Convidámoste a xunite como collaborador, editor o autor, pero has siguir les polítiques que controlen cada una de les ediciones independientes de los Proyeutos. El más grande de los nuesos Proyeutos ye Wikipedia, pero tamién agospiamos otros Proyeutos, caún con oxetivos y métodos de trabayu distintos. Cada edición de Proyeutu tien un equipu de collaboradores, editores o autores que trabayen xuntos pa crear y remanar el conteníu nesa edición de Proyeutu. Convidámoste a xunite a estos equipos y a trabayar con ellos p'ameyorar estos Proyeutos. Como nos dedicamos a ufrir conteníu al públicu accesible llibremente, normalmente requerimos que tol conteníu col que contribúis tea disponible baxo una llicencia llibre o nel dominiu públicu.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Por favor, ten en cuenta que yes llegalmente responsable de toles tos contribuciones, ediciones y reutilización del conteníu Wikimedia baxo les lleis de los Estaos Xuníos d'América y d'otres lleis aplicables (que puen incluyir les lleis onde vives tu o onde edites conteníu). Esto significa que ye importante que tengas precaución cuando publiques conteníu. A la lluz d'esta responsabilidá, tenemos delles regles tocante a lo que nun pues publicar, lo más d'ello pola to propia proteición o pola proteición d'otros usuarios como tu. Por favor, recuerda que'l conteníu qu'agospiamos ye namái pa fines d'información xeneral, si necesites asesoramientu espertu pa una cuestión en particular (como asuntos médicos, llegales o financieros), habríes buscar ayuda d'un profesional llicenciáu o cualificáu. Tamién incluyimos otros avisos y llimitaciones de responsabilidá, asina que por favor llei estos Términos d'Usu completamente.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pa mayor claridá, otres organizaciones, como los [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|capítulos llocales de Wikimedia]] y asociaciones, que puen compartir la mesma misión, son llegalmente independientes, tán separtaes de la Fundación Wikimedia y nun tienen responsabilidá sobre les operaciones del sitiu web o del so conteníu.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

Pa facer xusticia colos nuesos usuarios y con otros creadores y poseyedores de drechos d'autor, la nuesa política ye responder a notificaciones d'infraiciones que cumplen coles formalidaes del Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.

As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Điều khoản Sử dụng của Chúng tôi&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Hãy mường tượng về một thế giới trong đó mỗi người có thể tự do chia sẻ hiểu biết của mình vào khối kiến thức chung của nhân loại. Đó là cam kết của chúng tôi.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Tuyên bố Tầm nhìn của Chúng tôi]]

Chào mừng đến với Wikimedia! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;chúng tôi&quot;, &quot;chúng ta&quot; hoặc &quot;Foundation&quot;), là một tổ chức từ thiện phi lợi nhuận có trụ sở chính tại San Francisco, California, Hoa Kỳ, có [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|sứ mệnh]] giúp đỡ và thu hút mọi người trên toàn thế giới cùng thu thập và phát triển các nội dung [[w:vi:Nội dung tự do|có giấy phép tự do]] hoặc trong phạm vi công cộng, đồng thời phổ biến nội dung đó một cách hiệu quả và rộng khắp, hoàn toàn miễn phí.

Để hỗ trợ cho cộng đồng sôi động của chúng tôi, chúng tôi cung cấp cơ sở hạ tầng thiết yếu và một nền tảng tổ chức cho sự phát triển của các Dự án wiki đa ngôn ngữ cùng các phiên bản (như giải thích tại [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|trang Các dự án Wikimedia]]) (từ đây về sau gọi là &quot;các Dự án&quot;) và các nỗ lực khác nhằm phục vụ cho sứ mệnh này. Chúng tôi cố gắng tạo ra và lưu giữ những nội dung mang tính giáo dục và thông tin của các Dự án để luôn sẵn có trên internet một cách miễn phí, vĩnh viễn.

Chúng tôi chào mừng bạn (“bạn” hay “người dùng”) với vai trò là một độc giả, hoặc người đóng góp vào các Dự án Wikimedia, và chúng tôi khuyến khích bạn tham gia vào cộng đồng Wikimedia. Tuy nhiên, trước khi tham gia, chúng tôi yêu cầu bạn vui lòng đọc và đồng ý với các Điều khoản Sử dụng (“Điều khoản Sử dụng”) sau đây.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Các Điều khoản Sử dụng này đề cập đến những dịch vụ công cộng của chúng tôi tại Wikimedia Foundation, mối quan hệ giữa chúng tôi và bạn với vai trò người dùng, cùng những quyền và nghĩa vụ của cả hai bên. Chúng tôi đang lưu giữ một lượng khổng lồ các nội dung mang tính giáo dục và thông tin, tất cả đều do những người dùng như bạn đóng góp và tạo ra. Nói chung chúng tôi không đóng góp, giám sát, hay xóa nội dung (với một số ngoại lệ hiếm hoi, như những quy định như Điều khoản Sử dụng này, để tuân thủ pháp luật, hoặc khi gặp các trường hợp nguy cấp có khả năng gây hại nghiêm trọng). Điều này có nghĩa là quyền kiểm soát biên tập hoàn toàn nằm trong tay bạn và những người dùng khác, những người tạo ra và quản lý nội dung.

Cộng đồng – mạng lưới những người dùng liên tục xây dựng và sử dụng các Dự án và/hoặc trang web (từ đây trở đi gọi là &quot;các Trang web Dự án&quot;) – là phương tiện chủ yếu mà nhờ đó chúng tôi mới đạt được mục tiêu của sứ mệnh. Cộng đồng đóng góp và giúp quản lý các Dự án và Trang web Dự án của chúng tôi. Cộng đồng cũng thực hiện chức năng tối quan trọng là tạo ra và thực thi các quy định của từng Phiên bản Dự án cụ thể (như các phiên bản ngôn ngữ khác nhau của Dự án Wikipedia hoặc phiên bản đa ngôn ngữ Wikimedia Commons).

Bạn, với vai trò là người dùng, được hoan nghênh tham gia với vai trò là người đóng góp, biên tập viên, hoặc tác giả, nhưng bạn cần phải tuân theo các quy định được dùng để điều chỉnh từng Phiên bản Dự án độc lập, trong đó có [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Bộ Quy tắc Ứng xử Chung]] (BQTƯXC), được áp dụng cho toàn bộ các Phiên bản Dự án. Dự án lớn nhất trong các Dự án của chúng tôi là Wikipedia, nhưng chúng tôi còn lưu giữ những Dự án khác nữa, từng Dự án lại có mục tiêu và phương pháp làm việc khác nhau. Mỗi Phiên bản Dự án có một nhóm người đóng góp, biên tập viên hoặc tác giả làm việc cùng nhau để tạo ra và quản lý nội dung tại Phiên bản Dự án đó. Bạn được hoan nghênh tham gia vào những nhóm này và cộng tác với họ để cải tiến các Dự án này. Vì chúng tôi cam kết để mọi người được truy cập vào các nội dung một cách tự do, chúng tôi đòi hỏi tất cả nội dung mà bạn đóng góp phải được cấp phép theo giấy phép tự do hoặc cống hiến vào phạm vi công cộng.

Xin vui lòng ghi nhớ rằng bạn phải chịu trách nhiệm pháp lý đối với tất cả các đóng góp, sửa đổi, và tái sử dụng nội dung Wikimedia theo luật pháp Hoa Kỳ và các luật pháp hiện hành (có thể bao gồm cả luật pháp nơi bạn hoặc chủ đề đóng góp của bạn đang sinh sống). Điều này có nghĩa là sự cẩn trọng của bạn khi đăng tải, sửa đổi hay tái sử dụng nội dung là rất quan trọng. Với trách nhiệm như vậy, chúng tôi có một số quy định về những gì bạn không được làm, phần lớn trong số này là để bảo vệ cho chính bạn hoặc bảo vệ cho những người dùng khác giống như bạn. Xin vui lòng ghi nhớ rằng nội dung mà chúng tôi lưu giữ chỉ dùng cho mục đích cung cấp thông tin tổng quát, vì vậy nếu bạn cần lời khuyên của chuyên gia cho một câu hỏi nào đó (như các vấn đề y tế, pháp lý, hoặc tài chính), bạn nên tìm sự giúp đỡ của một chuyên gia phù hợp. Chúng tôi cũng có một số điểm chú ý và lời phủ nhận quan trọng, vì vậy xin hãy đọc toàn bộ bản Điều khoản Sử dụng này.

Chúng tôi muốn làm rõ rằng, các tổ chức khác, như [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|chi hội Wikimedia tại địa phương]] và các hiệp hội khác, dù cùng chia sẻ một mục tiêu, nhưng hoàn toàn độc lập và tách rời về mặt pháp lý đối với Wikimedia Foundation. Trừ khi có những phát biểu khác đi của Foundation với vai trò là bên có thẩm quyền tại một Trang web Dự án nhất định, các tổ chức khác không có bất cứ trách nhiệm nào đối với việc điều hành Trang web Dự án đó hoặc nội dung của nó.tai sao các tổ chức lại chia sẻ các nội dung dữ liệu và tài sản của tôi sẵn phẩm của tôi làm tổ chức từ thiện xâm phạm quyền sở hữu trí tuệ của tôi

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Dịch vụ của chúng tôi==

Wikimedia Foundation toàn tâm toàn ý khích lệ sự gia tăng, phát triển, và phân phối nội dung đa ngôn ngữ tự do, và lưu giữ toàn bộ nội dung của các Dự án nền tảng wiki cho công chúng hoàn toàn không thu phí. Vai trò của chúng tôi là lưu giữ một vài trong số những Dự án tham khảo do cộng đồng đóng góp lớn nhất trên thế giới, [//www.wikimedia.org có thể xem tại đây]. Tuy vậy, chúng tôi chỉ đóng vai trò là một dịch vụ lưu giữ, bảo trì cơ sở hạ tầng và nền tảng tổ chức. Cơ sở hạ tầng và nền tảng tổ chức này cho phép người dùng của chúng tôi xây dựng các Dự án bằng cách tự họ đóng góp và sửa đổi nội dung. Nó cũng cho phép người dùng tái sử dụng nội dung đó. Cơ sở hạ tầng do chúng tôi bảo trì bao gồm cơ sở hạ tầng công nghệ đặc dụng để cho phép người dùng tương tác một cách thuật toán và tái sử dụng nội dung tại các Dự án (gọi là &quot;Giao diện Lập trình Ứng dụng&quot; hay &quot;API&quot;), và ứng dụng di động.

Khi được nhắc đến trong phần còn lại của Điều khoản Sử dụng, các dịch vụ của chúng tôi bao gồm: [//www.wikimedia.org Các Trang web Dự án mà chúng tôi lưu giữ], cơ sở hạ tầng công nghệ mà chúng tôi bảo trì, và bất cứ không gian kỹ thuật nào do chúng tôi lưu giữ với mục đích bảo trì và phát triển các Dự án của chúng tôi.

Do vai trò đặc biệt này, có một vài điều bạn nên ghi nhớ khi xem xét mối quan hệ giữa chúng tôi với bạn, với Dự án, và những người dùng khác:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Chúng tôi không đóng vai trò biên tập:''' Vì các Dự án được cộng tác sửa đổi, nên phần lớn nội dung mà chúng tôi lưu trữ do người dùng cung cấp, và chúng tôi không đóng vai trò biên tập. Nghĩa là, chúng tôi thường không giám sát hoặc chỉnh sửa nội dung của các trang web Dự án, đồng nghĩa rằng chúng tôi không chịu bất kỳ trách nhiệm nào đối với nội dung này. Tương tự như vậy, trừ khi chúng tôi có tuyên bố rõ ràng khác, chúng tôi không xác nhận bất kỳ ý kiến, quan điểm nào đưa ra thông qua các dịch vụ, và không đại diện hoặc đảm bảo tính trung thực, chính xác và độ tin cậy của bất kỳ nội dung cộng đồng nào được đưa lên Dự án.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Bạn phải chịu trách nhiệm cho hành động của mình:''' Bạn phải chịu trách nhiệm pháp lý đối với các sửa đổi và đóng góp của mình cho Dự án, với việc bạn sử dụng lại nội dung trong Dự án, với việc bạn sử dụng API và với việc bạn sử dụng các dịch vụ của chúng tôi nói chung. Để bảo vệ chính mình, bạn nên thận trọng và tránh thực hiện bất kỳ hành động nào có thể dẫn đến trách nhiệm hình sự hoặc dân sự theo bất kỳ luật pháp hiện hành nào. Nói một cách rõ hơn, luật pháp hiện hành tối thiểu bao gồm luật của Hợp chúng quốc Hoa Kỳ và Tiểu bang California. Đối với các quốc gia khác, điều này được xác định trên cơ sở từng trường hợp. Mặc dù chúng tôi có thể không đồng ý với những hành động như vậy, nhưng chúng tôi cảnh báo người dùng—đặc biệt là các biên tập viên, cộng tác viên và tác giả—rằng các cơ quan có thẩm quyền không thuộc Hoa Kỳ có thể tìm cách áp dụng luật của quốc gia khác đối với bạn, bao gồm luật địa phương nơi bạn sinh sống, nơi bạn xem hoặc sửa đổi nội dung. Chúng tôi, nói chung, không thể bảo vệ, đảm bảo, miễn trừ hoặc bồi thường nào đối với việc áp dụng các luật đó.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Quy định Quyền riêng tư==

Chúng tôi yêu cầu bạn xem lại [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|các điều khoản trong Quy định Quyền riêng tư của chúng tôi]], để giúp bạn nhận biết cách chúng tôi thu thập và sử dụng thông tin của bạn.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==3. Nội dung mà chúng tôi lưu giữ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Bạn có thể tìm thấy những tài liệu đáng chê trách hoặc có lỗi sai:''' Vì chúng tôi lưu giữ nội dung rất đa dạng do người dùng của chúng tôi tạo ra hoặc thu thập, bạn có thể gặp phải những tài liệu mà bạn sẽ cảm thấy nó mang tính xúc phạm, có lỗi sai, gây hiểu nhầm, sai tên gọi, hoặc đáng chê trách theo bất cứ cách nào khác. Do đó chúng tôi yêu cầu bạn phải đánh giá một cách phổ quát và hợp lý khi sử dụng dịch vụ của chúng tôi.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Nội dung của các Dự án chỉ có mục đích cung cấp thông tin tổng quát:''' Mặc dù các Dự án của chúng tôi lưu giữ rất nhiều thông tin liên quan đến những chủ đề chuyên môn, trong đó có các vấn đề về y tế, pháp lý, hoặc tài chính, những nội dung này được trình bày chỉ với mục đích cung cấp thông tin tổng quát. Bạn không nên xem nó là lời khuyên của chuyên gia. Xin hãy tìm kiếm lời khuyên mang tính chất chuyên môn độc lập từ những người đã được cấp phép hành nghề hoặc đủ chuyên môn trong lĩnh vực đó thay vì hành động theo bất kỳ thông tin, ý kiến, hoặc lời khuyên nào có trong một trong những Trang web Dự án.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Tránh làm một số hành động==

Các Dự án được Wikimedia Foundation lưu giữ chỉ tồn tại nhờ vào cộng đồng người dùng tích cực như bạn. Họ đã cộng tác để viết, sửa chữa và giám sát nội dung. Chúng tôi vui mừng chào đón sự tham gia của bạn vào cộng đồng này. Chúng tôi khuyến khích bạn thể hiện sự văn minh và lịch sự khi tương tác với những người khác trong cộng đồng, hành động với tâm thức trong sáng, và thực hiện sửa đổi và đóng góp với mục tiêu thực hiện sứ mệnh của Dự án dùng chung. Chúng tôi yêu cầu tất cả các người dùng phải xem và làm theo [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Bộ Quy tắc Ứng xử Chung]] (&quot;BQTƯXC&quot;), trong đó ghi rõ những đòi hỏi để có được sự cộng tác ăn ý, văn minh trong tất cả các Dự án mà chúng tôi lưu giữ.

Một số hành động cụ thể, dù là hợp pháp hay bất hợp pháp, theo pháp luật hiện hành, có thể gây phương hại đến người dùng khác và vi phạm quy định của chúng tôi, và các hành động khác cũng khiến bạn phải chịu trách nhiệm liên đới. Do đó, để bảo vệ cho chính mình và cho những người dùng khác, bạn không được tham gia vào các hoạt động kiểu như vậy trên, hoặc khi sử dụng, các Dự án của chúng tôi. Những hành động đó bao gồm:

:'''Quấy rối và Lạm dụng Người khác'''
::* Tham gia vào việc đe dọa, theo dõi, làm phiền nhiễu, gửi thư hàng loạt, phá hoại, hoặc quấy rối như mô tả trong BQTƯXC;
::* Thực hiện gửi thư lan truyền, thư rác, hoặc thư quảng cáo đến người dùng khác;
::* Đăng tải hoặc sửa đổi nội dung với mục đích gây hại nghiêm trọng cho người khác, như cố ý xúi giục người khác tự làm hại bản thân, hoặc cố tình khiến người khác bị động kinh.
:'''Vi phạm Quyền riêng tư của Người khác'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Vi phạm quyền riêng tư của người khác chiểu theo luật pháp Hoa Kỳ hoặc các luật pháp hiện hành khác (có thể bao gồm cả luật pháp nơi bạn đang sinh sống hoặc nơi bạn xem hoặc chỉnh sửa nội dung);
::* Mồi chài thông tin danh tính cá nhân để phục vụ cho mục đích quấy rối, lợi dụng, vi phạm sự riêng tư, hoặc bất kỳ mục đích quảng cáo hay thương mại nào khác mà không được sự chấp thuận công khai của Wikimedia Foundation; và
::* Mồi chài thông tin danh tính cá nhân từ bất kỳ ai dưới 18 tuổi, hoặc chưa đủ tuổi thành niên tại nơi bạn đang sinh sống nếu nó lớn hơn 18 tuổi, cho mục đích phi pháp hoặc vi phạm bất kỳ luật pháp hiện hành nào liên quan đến sức khỏe hoặc lợi ích của trẻ vị thành niên.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Tham gia vào các Tuyên bố sai sự thật, Giả danh, hoặc Giả mạo'''
::* Cố tình đăng tải hoặc đăng tải một cách có ý thức những nội dung có tính phỉ báng hoặc làm xúc phạm danh dự theo luật Hoa Kỳ;
::* Đăng tải hoặc sửa đổi nội dung với ý đồ lừa đảo hoặc lừa dối người khác;
::* Cố gắng giả mạo người dùng hoặc cá nhân khác, miêu tả sai tư cách của bạn là có liên hệ đến một cá nhân hoặc thực thể nào đó, che giấu sự liên hệ của bạn đến một cá nhân hoặc thực thể khi bạn bắt buộc phải công khai điều này theo các điều khoản này hoặc quy định của Dự án địa phương, hoặc sử dụng tên hoặc tên người dùng của người khác với mục đích giả mạo; và
::* Tham gia vào sự lừa đảo.
:'''Vi phạm Quyền Sở hữu Trí tuệ'''
::* Vi phạm bản quyền, thương hiệu, bằng sáng chế, hoặc các quyền thương mại khác theo luật pháp hiện hành.
:'''Lạm dụng Dịch vụ của Chúng tôi Phục vụ cho Mục đích Phi pháp'''
::* Đăng tải nội dung khiêu dâm trẻ em hoặc bất kỳ nội dung nào khác vi phạm luật pháp hiện hành liên quan đến nội dung khiêu dâm trẻ em hoặc tài liệu xâm phạm tình dục trẻ em, hoặc khuyến khích, dung dưỡng, hoặc ủng hộ những người khác tạo ra hoặc chia sẻ các tài liệu như vậy;
::* Đăng tải hoặc buôn bán các tài liệu khiêu dâm có tính bất hợp pháp theo luật pháp hiện hành; và
::* Sử dụng dịch vụ theo cách không phù hợp với luật pháp hiện hành.
:'''Lạm dụng Tính năng gây ra Hư hỏng hoặc Bất hợp pháp'''
::* Đăng tải hoặc phát tán những nội dung có chứa vi-rút máy tính, phần mềm phá hoại, sâu máy tính, ngựa Trojan, mã độc, hoặc thiết bị khác có thể gây hại cho hạ tầng kỹ thuật hoặc hệ thống của chúng tôi hoặc của các thành viên khác;
::* Sử dụng việc truy cập Trang Dự án một cách tự vận hành nhưng mang tính chất lạm dụng hoặc phá hoại dịch vụ, vi phạm các quy định sử dụng được chấp nhận, hoặc chưa được cộng đồng Wikimedia cho phép;
::* Phá hoại dịch vụ bằng cách đặt nội dung quá tải trên API, Trang web Dự án hoặc mạng lưới hoặc máy chủ được kết nối tới một Trang web Dự án cụ thể;
::* Phá hoại dịch vụ bằng cách tạo ra liên lạc tràn ngập đến các Trang web Dự án mà không vì mục đích nghiêm túc muốn sử dụng Trang web Dự án một cách chính đáng;
::* Cố tình truy cập, can thiệp, hoặc sử dụng bất kỳ khu vực phi công cộng nào trong hệ thống máy tính của chúng tôi mà chưa được phép; và
::* Thăm dò, phân tích, hoặc kiểm tra những điểm yếu trong hệ thống kỹ thuật hoặc mạng lưới trừ khi tất cả các điều kiện sau được thỏa mãn:
:::* những hành động như vậy không lạm dụng quá đáng hoặc cản trở hệ thống kỹ thuật hoặc mạng lưới của chúng tôi;
:::* những hành động như vậy không vì mục đích cá nhân (ngoại trừ để ghi công cho việc làm của bạn);
:::* bạn báo cáo lại tất cả các điểm yếu đến lập trình viên tương ứng (hoặc tự sửa chữa nó); và
:::* bạn không thực hiện hành động như vậy với mục đích hiểm độc hoặc phá hoại.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Khoản Đóng góp được trả Thù lao nhưng Không Công khai'''

::* Bạn phải công khai từng người thuê mình, khách hàng, người chỉ định thừa hưởng và bất kỳ mối liên quan đến những khoản đóng góp mà qua đó bạn được nhận, hoặc hứa hẹn được nhận, thù lao. Bạn phải công khai điều đó bằng ít nhất một trong các cách sau đây:
:::*một tuyên bố trên trang thành viên của bạn,
:::*một tuyên bố trên trang thảo luận của các đóng góp được trả thù lao, hoặc
:::*một tuyên bố trong tóm lược sửa đổi của các đóng góp được trả thù lao.
::*Ngoài ra, nếu bạn đăng tải công khai bên ngoài các Dự án để quảng cáo cho dịch vụ sửa đổi tại Wikipedia nhằm lấy thù lao dưới bất kỳ hình thức nào, bạn phải công khai tất cả các tài khoản Wikipedia mà bạn đã dùng hoặc sẽ dùng cho thương vụ này trong một bài đăng công cộng tại dịch vụ của bên thứ ba.
::*Luật pháp hiện hành, hoặc các quy định và hướng dẫn của từng Dự án cụ thể và của Wikimedia Foundation, chẳng hạn như giải quyết những xung đột lợi ích, có thể đặt ra thêm hạn chế với các đóng góp được trả thù lao hoặc yêu cầu phải công khai thêm chi tiết. Ví dụ, vi phạm Nhãn hiệu Wikimedia (từ đây về sau định nghĩa là Khoản 6) để quảng cáo cho dịch vụ sửa đổi lấy thù lao, xóa bỏ tuyên bố công khai về các sửa đổi lấy thù lao đã công khai một cách phù hợp trước đó, hoặc sửa đổi lấy thù lao khi không đăng nhập khiến cho việc tuyên bố công khai một cách phù hợp trở nên bất khả thi, thì đều vi phạm khoản mục này.
::*Một cộng đồng Dự án Wikimedia có thể áp dụng một chính sách công bố thông tin đóng góp được trả thù lao khác để bổ sung hoặc thay thế cho phần này. Nếu một Dự án thông qua một chính sách công bố thông tin thay thế, bạn có thể thực hiện theo chính sách đó thay vì các yêu cầu trong khoản mục này (tiêu đề &quot;Khoản đóng góp được trả thù lao nhưng không công khai&quot;) khi đóng góp vào dự án đó.

::Để biết thêm thông tin, xin vui lòng đọc [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|trang hỏi đáp về việc công bố thông tin đóng góp được trả thù lao]].


Những sửa đổi nhận thù lao nhưng không công khai của người dùng tạo ra gánh nặng không cần thiết cho những biên tập viên tình nguyện [[:w:vi:Wikipedia:Xung đột lợi ích|phải điều tra và thực thi các quy định cộng đồng]]. Do đó, đối với những vi phạm khoản mục này liên quan đến sửa đổi lấy thù lao không được công khai, bạn đồng ý tuân theo &quot;Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá&quot; như được mô tả trong khoản mục 14 của Điều khoản Sử dụng này.

Chúng tôi bảo toàn quyền thực thi các biện pháp cưỡng chế cần thiết tuân theo nội dung trong khoản mục 4 của Điều khoản Sử dụng. Khi bắt buộc, việc thực thi các điều khoản này có thể bao gồm những hành động không được ghi trong [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Quy định Biện pháp Hành chính]] của Wikimedia Foundation. Nếu việc thực thi là bắt buộc trong tình huống mới, chúng tôi sẽ cố gắng trong ít nhất là một (1) năm phải cập nhật Quy định Biện pháp Hành chính để ghi loại biện pháp mới này vào.

== 6. Thương hiệu ==

Mặc dù bạn có sự tự do đáng kể trong việc sử dụng lại các nội dung trên Trang web Dự án, tại Wikimedia Foundation, việc chúng tôi bảo vệ quyền thương hiệu của mình là một việc rất quan trọng nhằm bảo vệ người dùng của chúng tôi khỏi bị mạo danh, lừa đảo. Vì vậy, chúng tôi yêu cầu bạn vui lòng tôn trọng thương hiệu của chúng tôi. Tất cả những thương hiệu Wikimedia Foundation thuộc về Wikimedia Foundation, và việc sử dụng tên thương mại, thương hiệu, dấu hiệu nhận biết dịch vụ, biểu trưng, hoặc tên miền phải phù hợp với những Điều khoản Sử dụng này và phù hợp với [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Chính sách Thương hiệu]] của chúng tôi.

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Cấp phép cho Nội dung ==

Để phát triển nguồn kiến thức tự do và văn hóa tự do, tất cả thành viên đóng góp vào các Dự án hoặc Trang web Dự án bắt buộc phải trao cho công chúng những quyền hạn rộng rãi để tái phân phối và tái sử dụng các đóng góp của họ một cách tự do, miễn là việc sử dụng phải được ghi công một cách thích đáng và bất kỳ tác phẩm phái sinh nào cũng phải được trao quyền tự do tái sử dụng và tái phân phối y như vậy. Để giữ được mục tiêu cung cấp thông tin tự do đến lượng độc giả lớn nhất có thể, chúng tôi yêu cầu rằng, khi cần thiết, tất cả những nội dung được gửi lên phải được cấp phép sao cho nó có thể được tái sử dụng một cách tự do bởi bất cứ ai có khả năng truy cập.

Bạn phải đồng ý với các yêu cầu cấp phép sau:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Nội dung văn bản do bạn giữ bản quyền:''' Khi bạn gửi lên văn bản do bạn giữ bản quyền, bạn đồng ý cấp phép nó theo:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Giấy phép Creative Commons Ghi công-Chia sẻ tương tự phiên bản 4.0 Quốc tế] (“CC BY-SA 4.0”), và
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html Giấy phép Tài liệu Tự do GNU] (“GFDL”) (không cố định phiên bản, không có phần bất biến, văn bản bìa trước, hoặc văn bản bìa sau).

Những người tái sử dụng có thể lựa chọn làm theo một hoặc cả hai giấy phép.&lt;br /&gt;
Ngoại lệ duy nhất là khi Phiên bản Dự án hoặc tính năng đòi hỏi một giấy phép khác. Trong trường hợp đó, bạn đồng ý cấp phép cho bất kỳ văn bản nào do bạn đóng góp theo giấy phép cụ thể mà Phiên bản Dự án hoặc tính năng chỉ định.

Xin chú ý rằng những giấy phép này có cho phép sử dụng các đóng góp của bạn với mục đích thương mại, miễn là việc sử dụng đó tuân theo những điều khoản của giấy phép tương ứng. Nếu bạn sở hữu Quyền Cơ sở dữ liệu Sui Generis (độc nhất) do CC BY-SA 4.0 bảo vệ, bạn sẽ khước từ các quyền này. Ví dụ, điều này có nghĩa là những sự thật mà bạn đóng góp vào các dự án có thể được tái sử dụng một cách tự do mà không kèm theo sự ghi công.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ghi công:''' Ghi công là một phần quan trọng của các giấy phép này. Chúng tôi xem việc này như một lời ghi nhận công lao đối với các tác giả như bạn. Khi bạn đóng góp nội dung văn bản, bạn đồng ý được ghi công theo một trong các cách sau:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thông qua một siêu liên kết (nếu được) hoặc URL đến bài viết mà bạn đã đóng góp (do mỗi bài viết đều có một trang lịch sử liệt kê tất cả những người đóng góp, tác giả và người sửa chữa);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thông qua một siêu liên kết (nếu có thể) hoặc URL đến một bản sao trực tuyến thay thế khác, ổn định, có thể được tự do truy cập, tuân theo giấy phép tương ứng, và có ghi nhận công lao của các tác giả theo cách thức tương đương với việc ghi nhận công lao tại Trang web Dự án; hoặc&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thông qua một danh sách gồm tất cả các tác giả (nhưng xin chú ý là danh sách các tác giả có thể được tinh lọc để loại bỏ những đóng góp quá nhỏ hoặc không thích hợp).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nhập khẩu nội dung:''' Bạn có thể nhập khẩu nội dung văn bản mà bạn tìm thấy ở nơi khác hoặc bạn là đồng tác giả với những người khác, nhưng nếu làm vậy bạn phải đại diện và đảm bảo rằng nội dung văn bản đó được phát hành với các điều khoản tương thích với CC BY-SA (hoặc, như đã giải thích ở trên, một giấy phép khác khi được một Phiên bản Dự án hoặc tính năng đòi hỏi). Xin vào [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons] để xem danh sách các giấy phép tương thích. Nội dung được phát hành chỉ theo giấy phép GFDL sẽ không được phép nhập khẩu.&lt;br /&gt;

Bạn đồng ý rằng, nếu bạn nhập khẩu nội dung văn bản được phát hành theo một giấy phép CC có đòi hỏi ghi công, bạn phải ghi lại tên một hoặc nhiều tác giả một cách hợp lý. Nếu tên tác giả thường được ghi qua lịch sử trang (như bản sao trong Wikimedia), việc ghi công trong tóm lược sửa đổi, và sau đó được ghi lại vào lịch sử trang, là đã thỏa đáng khi nhập khẩu văn bản. Yêu cầu ghi công đôi khi quá khó khăn trong một số tình huống cụ thể (bất kể là giấy phép gì), và sẽ có trường hợp cộng đồng Wikimedia quyết định rằng văn bản được nhập khẩu không thể sử dụng được vì lý do đó.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nội dung phương tiện phi văn bản:''' Nội dung phương tiện phi văn bản tại các Dự án được phát hành theo nhiều loại giấy phép khác nhau nhằm hỗ trợ cho mục tiêu chung là cho phép việc tái sử dụng và tái phân phối không hạn chế. Khi bạn đóng góp nội dung phương tiện phi văn bản, bạn đồng ý tuân theo các đòi hỏi của những giấy phép đó như mô tả trong [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Chính sách Cấp phép]] của chúng tôi, và cũng tuân theo các yêu cầu của từng Phiên bản Dự án hoặc tính năng cụ thể, nơi bạn đang đóng góp. Xem thêm [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Quy định Cấp phép Wikimedia Commons]] để biết thêm thông tin về việc đóng góp nội dung phương tiện phi văn bản vào Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Không thu hồi giấy phép:''' Trừ trường hợp được giấy phép của bạn cho phép, bạn đồng ý rằng bạn sẽ không đơn phương thu hồi hoặc tìm cách làm mất đi hiệu lực của giấy phép mà bạn đã trao theo các Điều khoản Sử dụng này dành cho nội dung văn bản hoặc nội dung phương tiện phi văn bản đóng góp vào các Dự án hoặc tính năng, ngay cả khi bạn ngưng sử dụng dịch vụ của chúng tôi.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nội dung phạm vi công cộng:''' Chúng tôi hoan nghênh những nội dung thuộc về phạm vi công cộng. Tuy nhiên điều quan trọng là bạn phải xác nhận tình trạng phạm vi công cộng của nội dung phù hợp với luật pháp Hợp chúng quốc Hoa Kỳ cũng như luật pháp của bất kỳ quốc gia nào khác như đòi hỏi của từng Phiên bản Dự án. Khi bạn đóng góp nội dung thuộc về phạm vi công cộng, bạn đảm bảo rằng tài liệu thực sự đã thuộc về phạm vi công cộng, và bạn đồng ý gắn nhãn ghi chú tương xứng.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Tái sử dụng:''' Chúng tôi hoan nghênh bạn tái sử dụng nội dung mà chúng tôi lưu giữ, ngoại trừ những nội dung được đóng góp theo &quot;sử dụng hợp lý&quot; hoặc những miễn trừ tương tự theo luật bản quyền hiện hành. Việc tái sử dụng phải tuân thủ (các) giấy phép của nội dung đó.&lt;br /&gt;

Khi bạn tái sử dụng hoặc tái phân phối một trang văn bản do cộng đồng Wikimedia phát triển, bạn đồng ý ghi công các tác giả theo một trong các cách sau:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thông qua một siêu liên kết (nếu được) hoặc URL đến (các) trang mà bạn đang tái sử dụng (do mỗi trang đều có một trang lịch sử liệt kê tất cả những người đóng góp, tác giả và người sửa chữa);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thông qua một siêu liên kết (nếu có thể) hoặc URL đến một bản sao trực tuyến thay thế khác, ổn định, có thể được tự do truy cập, tuân theo giấy phép, và có ghi tên các tác giả theo cách thức tương đương với việc ghi tên trên Trang web Dự án; hoặc&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thông qua một danh sách gồm tất cả các tác giả (nhưng xin chú ý là danh sách các tác giả có thể được tinh lọc để loại bỏ những đóng góp quá nhỏ hoặc không thích hợp).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Nếu nội dung văn bản được nhập khẩu từ nguồn khác, rất có thể nội dung đó được cấp phép theo một giấy phép CC BY-SA tương thích nhưng không kèm GFDL (như mô tả trong “Nhập khẩu văn bản,” ở trên).  Trong trường hợp đó, bạn đồng ý tuân thủ giấy phép CC BY-SA tương thích và không có sự chọn lựa tái cấp phép theo GFDL. Để xác định giấy phép đang áp dụng vào nội dung mà bạn định tái sử dụng hoặc tái phân phối, bạn nên xem phía cuối trang, lịch sử trang, và trang thảo luận.

Ngoài ra, xin ghi nhớ rằng văn bản bắt nguồn từ các nguồn bên ngoài rồi được nhập khẩu vào Dự án có thể được cấp theo một giấy phép có kèm theo một số yêu cầu ghi công bổ sung. Người dùng đồng ý chỉ rõ các yêu cầu ghi công bổ sung này. Tùy vào từng Dự án, các yêu cầu như vậy có thể xuất hiện, ví dụ như, trong một biểu ngữ hoặc dấu hiệu nào khác ghi rõ rằng một vài hoặc toàn bộ nội dung đã được xuất bản đầu tiên tại một nơi khác. Ở những chỗ có các dấu hiệu nhận diện, người tái sử dụng cần giữ nguyên chúng như vậy.

Đối với nội dung phương tiên phi văn bản, bạn đồng ý tuân thủ theo giấy phép hiện hành mà tác phẩm được cấp phép (có thể xem bằng cách nhấn vào tác phẩm và tìm đến phần giấy phép trên trang mô tả hoặc xem lại trang nguồn của tác phẩm). Khi tái sử dụng bất kỳ nội dung nào do chúng tôi lưu giữ, bạn đồng ý tuân theo các yêu cầu ghi công thích hợp được ghi trong một hoặc nhiều giấy phép của nội dung.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Sửa đổi hoặc bổ sung vào tài liệu mà bạn tái sử dụng:''' Khi thực hiện sửa đổi hoặc bổ sung vào nội dung văn bản do bạn lấy được từ Trang web Dự án, bạn đồng ý cấp phép cho nội dung đã được sửa đổi hoặc bổ sung theo Giấy phép CC BY-SA 4.0 trở về sau (hoặc, như đã giải thích ở trên, một giấy phép khác khi đó là điều bắt buộc tại từng Phiên bản Dự án cụ thể hoặc tính năng).&lt;br /&gt;

Khi sửa đổi hoặc bổ sung vào nội dung phương tiện phi văn bản mà bạn lấy được từ website Dự án, bạn đồng ý cấp phép cho nội dung đã sửa đổi hoặc bổ sung đó theo bất kỳ giấy phép nào đã cấp phép trước đó cho tác phẩm.&lt;br /&gt;

Với cả nội dung văn bản và phương tiện phi văn bản, bạn đồng ý chỉ rõ rằng tác phẩm gốc đã được chỉnh sửa. Nếu bạn đang tái sử dụng nội dung văn bản tại một wiki, cách phù hợp là bạn chỉ ra điều này trong lịch sử trang rằng bạn đã thực hiện thay đổi đối với văn bản được nhập vào. Với mỗi bản sao hoặc phiên bản đã chỉnh sửa do bạn phân phối, bạn đồng ý ghi kèm theo một thông báo cấp phép chỉ ra tác phẩm được phát hành theo giấy phép nào, cùng với một siêu liên kết hoặc URL đến toàn văn giấy phép hoặc một bản sao của giấy phép.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation muốn đảm bảo rằng những nội dung do chúng tôi lưu giữ sẽ được các thành viên khác tái sử dụng mà không phải lo sợ trách nhiệm liên đới và không vi phạm quyền thương mại của người khác. Để có được sự công bằng cho người dùng của chúng tôi, cũng như cho những người đã tạo ra và giữ bản quyền, chính sách của chúng tôi là sẽ phản ứng với các thông báo khẳng định có sự vi phạm bản quyền theo đúng thủ tục của Đạo luật Bản quyền Thiên niên kỷ Số (DMCA). Theo DMCA, chúng tôi, trong những tình huống chính đáng, sẽ ngưng quyền sử dụng của người dùng và người sở hữu tài khoản trong hệ thống và mạng lưới của chúng tôi nếu những người đó liên tục vi phạm bản quyền tại các Dự án và dịch vụ của chúng tôi.

Tuy nhiên, chúng tôi cũng nhận thấy không phải thông báo vi phạm bản quyền nào cũng đúng hoặc có ý tốt. Trong trường hợp đó, chúng tôi chân thành khuyến khích người dùng tiến hành phản thông báo khi họ tin một cách thích đáng rằng một yêu cầu gỡ bỏ DMCA là không đúng hoặc không chính đáng. Để biết thêm thông tin về những gì cần làm nếu bạn tin rằng cảnh báo DMCA đã bị gửi sai, bạn sẽ muốn tham khảo trang web [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Nếu bạn là chủ sở hữu của nội dung bị sử dụng không thích hợp trong một trong các Dự án mà chưa được sự cho phép của bạn, bạn có thể yêu cầu gỡ bỏ nội dung đó theo quy trình DMCA. Để thực hiện yêu cầu, xin vui lòng gửi email cho chúng tôi tại {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}, hoặc gửi [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|thư tín đến đại diện của chúng tôi]].

Hoặc một cách khác, bạn có thể gửi yêu cầu đến cộng đồng của chúng tôi, họ thường xử lý các vấn đề bản quyền nhanh hơn và hiệu quả hơn là quy trình theo DMCA. Trong trường hợp đó, bạn có thể đăng một thông báo giải thích lo ngại về bản quyền của bạn. Để xem danh sách chưa đầy đủ và không chính thức các quy trình phù hợp cho các Phiên bản Dự án khác nhau, [[:m:Copyright problems|xem trang Các vấn đề Bản quyền]]. Trước khi gửi yêu cầu DMCA, bạn cũng có thể lựa chọn gửi thư điện tử đến cộng đồng tại {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

==9. Các Trang web và Tài nguyên của Bên thứ ba==

Bạn là người chịu trách nhiệm duy nhất về việc sử dụng các trang web hoặc tài nguyên của bên thứ ba. Mặc dù các Dự án và Trang web Dự án có chứa liên kết đến các trang web và tài nguyên của bên thứ ba, chúng tôi không chứng thực và không chịu trách nhiệm hoặc có nghĩa vụ pháp lý liên quan đến sự tồn tại sẵn có, tính chính xác, hoặc các nội dung, sản phẩm, hoặc dịch vụ liên quan (bao gồm, nhưng không giới hạn, các loại vi-rút hoặc các tính năng vô hiệu hóa khác), cũng như không có bổn phận phải giám sát các nội dung của bên thứ ba như vậy.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Quản lý các Trang web==

Cộng đồng đóng vai trò chính trong việc tạo ra và thực thi các quy định áp dụng cho các Phiên bản Dự án khác nhau. Tại Wikimedia Foundation, chúng tôi hiếm khi can thiệp vào các quyết định của cộng đồng liên quan đến quy định và việc thực thi quy định.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Bạn hoàn toàn có thể thông báo cho chúng tôi về các nội dung bất hợp pháp, hoặc các nội dung vi phạm Điều khoản Sử dụng của chúng tôi (bao gồm tất cả các quy định và những văn bản khác được tham chiếu đến) vì những lý do nào khác [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|bằng cách liên hệ trực tiếp với chúng tôi]]. Tuy nhiên, bạn thường có thể gửi yêu cầu trực tiếp đến cộng đồng của Dự án: nó có thể hiệu quả hơn, và nhất quán với mục tiêu của các Dự án nhằm nâng cao năng lực của cộng đồng người dùng.
&lt;/div&gt;


Mỗi Dự án thường sẽ cung cấp các trang “Trợ giúp” hoặc “Liên hệ” để cung cấp các hướng dẫn, hoặc các công cụ nhất định để báo cáo các vấn đề gặp phải. Một cách khác - nếu còn nghi ngờ - bạn có thể nhờ đến sự giúp đỡ của các thành viên của cộng đồng, bằng cách gửi thư điện tử đến {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} hoặc một địa chỉ dành riêng cho ngôn ngữ của [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|trang Nhóm Phản hồi Tình nguyện]]. Xin ghi nhớ rằng những hộp thư này được người dùng của các Dự án, chứ không phải Foundation, giám sát. Do đó, bạn không nên gửi những nội dung có tính đe dọa hoặc đòi hỏi pháp lý đến đó.:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team

Nếu bạn muốn báo một vấn đề đến Foundation, bạn sẽ cần xem xét xem đã có thể cơ chế do cộng đồng đặt ra để điều tra và, khi thích hợp, giải quyết nó.

Trong trường hợp ít phổ biến, có thể sẽ có nhu cầu, hoặc cộng đồng có thể yêu cầu chúng tôi, giải quyết một người dùng có vấn đề đặc biệt hoặc nội dung có vấn đề đặc biệt do sự quấy rối đặc biệt nghiêm trọng đến Dự án hoặc hành vi rất nguy hiểm. Trong những trường hợp như vậy, chúng tôi bảo lưu quyền, tùy vào quyết định của chúng tôi (hoặc khi phải tuân thủ luật pháp), làm các điều sau đây:

* Điều tra việc sử dụng Dự án hoặc dịch vụ của bạn (a) để xác định xem có xảy ra sự vi phạm Điều khoản Sử dụng này, quy định của Phiên bản Dự án, hoặc các luật pháp hoặc chính sách hiện hành nào không, hoặc (b) để tuân thủ các luật pháp hiện hành, quy trình pháp lý, hoặc yêu cầu tương ứng của chính phủ;
* Khám phá, ngăn chặn, hoặc bằng cách nào khác giải quyết các vấn đề giả mạo, thông tin sai hoặc không thể kiểm chứng, an ninh, hoặc vấn đề kỹ thuật hoặc phản hồi lại yêu cầu hỗ trợ của người dùng;
* Từ chối, đảo ngược, ngưng kích hoạt, hoặc hạn chế sự truy cập vào các đóng góp của bất kỳ thành viên nào vi phạm các Điều khoản Sử dụng này;
* Ban lệnh cấm chỉ một thành viên không cho phép sửa đổi hoặc đóng góp hoặc cấm tài khoản hoặc quyền truy cập của thành viên vì hành động vi phạm các Điều khoản Sử dụng này, bao gồm cả việc lặp lại việc tải lên các tài liệu bất hợp hợp pháp theo luật hiện hành phù hợp với các nguyên tắc về quyền con người;
* Có hành động pháp lý chống lại những người dùng vi phạm các Điều khoản Sử dụng này (bao gồm cả việc báo cho các cơ quan thực thi pháp luật); và
* Bằng cách khác, quản lý các Trang web Dự án theo cách thức nhằm hỗ trợ việc vận hành đúng đắn và bảo vệ các quyền, tài sản, và sự an toàn của chúng tôi và người dùng, người cấp phép, đối tác của chúng tôi, và công chúng.

Các hoạt động kiểm soát của Foundation có thể được thông báo hoặc thực hiện bởi phần mềm (như bảo vệ khỏi bị tấn công làm ngợp hệ thống (&quot;Tấn công Từ chối Dịch vụ&quot;)). Trong những trường hợp đó, con người có thể tiến hành xem xét, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|khi được yêu cầu]].

Vì lợi ích của các người dùng và các Dự án của chúng tôi, trong trường hợp xấu nhất khi một cá nhân nào đó phải bị khóa tài khoản hoặc quyền truy cập theo khoản mục này, người đó sẽ bị ngăn cấm tạo hoặc sử dụng tài khoản khác hoặc truy cập vào cùng Dự án, trừ khi chúng tôi có sự cho phép công khai. Để không giới hạn quyền của cộng đồng, bản thân Foundation sẽ không cấm chỉ người dùng không cho sửa đổi hoặc đóng góp hoặc khóa tài khoản hoặc quyền truy cập của người dùng chỉ vì những lời chỉ trích mang tính xây dựng không dẫn đến các hành động nào vi phạm các Điều khoản Sử dụng này hoặc các quy định của cộng đồng.

Cộng đồng và thành viên của Wikimedia có thể thực hiện những hành động khi được quy định của cộng đồng của Quỹ áp dụng cho mỗi Phiên bản Dự án cho phép, bao gồm, nhưng không chỉ giới hạn ở việc cảnh báo, điều tra, khóa, hoặc cấm chỉ những người dùng vi phạm các quy định đó. Bạn đồng ý tuân theo những quyết định cuối cùng của các cơ quan giải quyết tranh chấp do cộng đồng hình thành cho từng Phiên bản Dự án cụ thể (như hội đồng trọng tài); các quyết định này có thể có những tiền lệ được thiết lập bởi quy định của từng Phiên bản Dự án cụ thể.

Các thành viên có vấn đề đặc biệt nếu tài khoản hoặc quyền truy cập đã bị khóa ở nhiều Phiên bản Dự án có thể sẽ bị cấm chỉ trên toàn bộ các Phiên bản Dự án, theo [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Quy định Cấm chỉ Toàn hệ thống]]. Ngược lại với nghị quyết của Hội đồng Quản trị hoặc các Điều khoản Sử dụng này, các quy định do cộng đồng tạo ra, có thể áp dụng cho một hoặc nhiều Phiên bản Dự án (như Quy định Cấm chỉ Toàn hệ thống), có thể được các cộng đồng tương ứng điều chỉnh theo quy trình của từng cộng đồng.

Việc khóa một tài khoản hoặc không cho truy cập hoặc cấm chỉ người dùng theo điều khoản này sẽ tuân theo Khoản 13 của các Điều khoản Sử dụng này.

Nếu bạn tin rằng chúng tôi chưa hành động thỏa đáng khi có báo cáo về nội dung có vấn đề, hoặc nếu bạn là đối tượng bị Foundation áp dụng hạn chế và bạn muốn đảo ngược, bạn có thể [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|gửi khiếu nại]]. Các thông tin khác về cách thức khiếu nại có thể sẽ được thông báo đến bạn vào thời điểm đó, hoặc tại các trang trợ giúp của Dự án.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Chúng tôi bảo lưu quyền đình chỉ (tạm thời, hoặc vĩnh viễn) việc xử lý các báo cáo hoặc đối thoại từ người dùng hoặc bên thứ ba, về nội dung hoặc hành vi được cho là bất hợp pháp hoặc có vấn đề, hoặc yêu cầu khiếu nại một hành động giải quyết vấn đề, nếu sự đối thoại đó được tiến hành với dụng ý xấu, lặp đi lặp lại, thiếu cơ sở, và/hoặc có tính lạm dụng. Trong tình huống như vậy, địa chỉ thư điện tử của bạn có thể sẽ bị cấm trong hệ thống thư của chúng tôi, và sẽ cần phải liên hệ với chúng tôi [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|bằng bưu tín]] nếu bạn muốn đối thoại thêm với chúng tôi trong khi bị cấm. Với các trường hợp ít nghiêm trọng hơn (như tối đa ba thư điện tử lịch sự về một hoặc nhiều lời than phiền vô căn cứ), nó có thể chỉ mang tính chất tạm thời. Liên lạc thường xuyên hơn hoặc có tính lạm dụng hơn sẽ có thể dẫn đến các biện pháp vĩnh viễn.

Chúng tôi có sẵn một tập các API, bao gồm các tài liệu hướng dẫn và các công cụ đi kèm, để cho phép người dùng tạo ra các sản phẩm quảng bá cho kiến thức tự do. Với việc sử dụng API của chúng tôi, bạn đồng ý thuân thủ tất cả các quy định hiện hành về quản lý việc sử dụng API, bao gồm nhưng không giới hạn, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Quy định Tác nhân-Người dùng]],  [[wikitech:Robot policy|Quy định Robot]], và [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Lịch sự]] (hợp chung thành, &quot;Tài liệu API&quot;), được liệt kê ở Điều khoản Sử dụng này để tham chiếu.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Ngưng sử dụng ==

Tuy chúng tôi hy vọng rằng bạn sẽ ở lại và tiếp tục đóng góp cho các Dự án, bạn có thể ngưng sử dụng dịch vụ của chúng tôi vào bất cứ lúc nào. Trong một số tình huống (hy vọng sẽ không xảy ra) chúng tôi hoặc cộng đồng Wikimedia hoặc các thành viên (như đã mô tả trong Khoản 10) cần phải tiến hành ngưng một phần hoặc toàn bộ dịch vụ, ngưng các Điều khoản Sử dụng này, khóa tài khoản hoặc quyền truy cập, hoặc cấm tư cách thành viên của bạn. Nếu tài khoản hoặc quyền truy cập của bạn bị khóa hoặc bị ngưng sử dụng vì bất cứ lý do gì, các đóng góp công khai của bạn và bản ghi các hoạt động của bạn tại hoặc có liên quan đến các Dự án (bao gồm các cuộc đối thoại mà bạn đã gửi cho chúng tôi) sẽ không bị ảnh hưởng (tuân theo các quy định hiện hành), và bạn vẫn có thể truy cập được vào các trang công cộng nhưng chỉ có với một mục đích duy nhất là đọc các nội dung công cộng sẵn có trên các Dự án. Tuy vậy, trong những tình huống đó, bạn có thể sẽ không truy cập được tài khoản hoặc thiết lập của bạn. Tuy nhiên, bất chấp các quy định nào khác trong Điều khoản Sử dụng này, chúng tôi bảo lưu quyền đình chỉ hoặc kết thúc dịch vụ vào bất cứ lúc nào, có hoặc không cần có lý do, và có hoặc không cần có thông báo trước. Thậm chí sau khi việc sử dụng và tham gia của bạn bị cấm, khóa hoặc đình chỉ, các Điều khoản Sử dụng này sẽ vẫn còn hiệu lực ở một số điều khoản nhất định, bao gồm các Khoản 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, và 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Được tô sáng để nhấn mạnh''

Chúng tôi hy vọng sẽ không có bất đồng nghiêm trọng nào xảy ra liên quan đến bạn, nhưng, nếu có tranh chấp xảy ra, chúng tôi khuyến khích bạn tìm kiếm giải pháp thông qua quy trình hoặc cơ chế giải quyết tranh chấp do các Dự án hoặc Phiên bản Dự án và Wikimedia Foundation cung cấp. Nếu bạn muốn tiến hành hành động pháp lý chống lại chúng tôi, bạn phải đồng ý chỉ được đệ đơn và giải quyết vấn đề này trong một tòa án cấp tiểu bang hoặc cấp liên bang có trụ sở đặt tại Quận San Francisco, California. Bạn cũng đồng ý rằng luật pháp của Tiểu bang California và, khi phải sử dụng, luật pháp Hợp chúng quốc Hoa Kỳ sẽ điều chỉnh những Điều khoản Sử dụng này, cũng như bất kỳ một hành động pháp lý nào xảy đến giữa bạn và chúng tôi (không tham chiếu đến sự mâu thuẫn về nguyên tắc pháp lý). Bạn đồng ý nộp lệ quyền tài phán cá nhân của, và đồng ý rằng nơi diễn rằng là hoàn toàn nằm trong, các tòa án đặt tại Quận San Francisco, California, trong bất kỳ một hành động pháp lý hoặc kiện tụng nào liên quan đến chúng tôi hoặc các Điều khoản Sử dụng này.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Để đảm bảo rằng tranh chấp được giải quyết ổn thỏa ngay sau khi phát sinh, bạn đồng ý rằng bất kể đạo luật hoặc luật trái ngược nào, bất kỳ khiếu nại hoặc tác nhân gây ra hành động nào mà bạn có thể đã phát sinh hoặc có liên quan tới việc sử dụng các dịch vụ của chúng tôi hoặc liên quan tới các Điều khoản Sử dụng này sẽ được đệ trình trong luật giới hạn hiện hành hoặc, nếu sớm hơn, là một (1) năm sau khi các dữ kiện thích hợp là cơ sở bồi thường hoặc tác nhân gây ra hành động được phát hiện ra với sự cẩn trọng hợp lí (nếu không sẽ vĩnh viễn không còn ý nghĩa).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Như mô tả tại khoản 4 của Điều khoản Sử dụng này, bạn đồng ý giải quyết việc vi phạm Đóng góp được Trả thù lao nhưng Không công khai với một Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá tùy vào quyết định của Foundation. Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá là các quy định hòa giải '''có tính ràng buộc''' trong đó, vào cuối nửa buổi hoặc nguyên này, các vấn đề tranh chấp chưa được giải quyết sẽ được quyết định bởi nhân viên hòa giải bằng quyết định mang tính ràng buộc pháp lý. Chúng sẽ được thực hiện bằng cuộc họp từ xa hoặc qua video. Nếu bắt buộc phải có cuộc họp trực tiếp, Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá sẽ được thực hiện ở Quận San Francisco, California. Các bên liên quan sẽ chia đều tất cả chi phí liên quan đến cuộc hòa giải.

Bạn đồng ý, như một phần của việc Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá, hợp tác với Foundation, bao gồm việc cung cấp đúng lúc các tài liệu mà bạn đang sở hữu có liên quan đến các hoạt động sửa đổi trả tiền không công khai bao gồm có các tài khoản được sử dụng, các bài viết bị ảnh hưởng, và các khách hàng đã mua dịch vụ đó.

Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá tuân theo và được điều chỉnh bởi Đạo luật Hòa giải Liên bang tới mức độ người hòa giải trở thành người phân xử. Bên thắng thế sẽ chịu trách nhiệm trả phí thuê luật sư (bao gồm mọi chi phí cần thiết để quyết định việc sử dụng Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá có phù hợp không và thực thi các kết quả ràng buộc) và tất cả các chi phí liên quan đến việc điều tra và thực thi các quyền lợi. Bên tham gia sẽ được xem là &quot;thắng thế&quot; ngay cả khi không đạt được thành công trong mọi đòi hỏi.

Nếu vì một lý do nào đó toàn bộ các yêu cầu Hòa giải Công ty Quảng bá được phát hiện là không thể thực thi được, bạn đồng ý giải quyết bất kỳ tranh chấp nào được mô tả trong phần đầu của Khoản mục này.

==17. Sửa đổi Điều khoản Sử dụng ==

Chúng tôi luôn xem ý kiến của cộng đồng Wikimedia là yếu tố sống còn đối với sự phát triển và duy trì của các Dự án, và tương tự như vậy, ý kiến của cộng đồng cũng là yếu tố sống còn cho Điều khoản Sử dụng này nhằm phục vụ người dùng của chúng tôi một cách chính đáng. Ngoài ra, một hợp đồng công bằng cũng là điều rất cần thiết. Vì vậy, chúng tôi sẽ gửi các Điều khoản Sử dụng này, cũng như bất kỳ sửa đổi đáng kể nào trong tương lai của các Điều khoản Sử dụng này, cho cộng đồng để lấy ý kiến tối thiểu ba mươi (30) ngày trước khi kết thúc giai đoạn lấy ý kiến​​. Nếu lại có một đề xuất sửa đổi lớn nữa, chúng tôi sẽ cho thêm 30 ngày lấy ý kiến kể từ ngày cho đăng bản dịch của phiên bản sửa đổi trong ít nhất ba ngôn ngữ (chọn theo ý của chúng tôi). Cộng đồng sẽ được khuyến khích dịch bản sửa đổi được đề xuất sang các ngôn ngữ khác thích hợp. Đối với các thay đổi về lý do pháp lý hoặc hành chính, sửa chữa một câu không chính xác, hoặc thay đổi để đáp lại ý kiến ​​cộng đồng, chúng tôi sẽ đưa ra thông báo ít nhất ba (3) ngày.

Do việc điều chỉnh các Điều khoản Sử dụng này có thể cần phải diễn ra thường xuyên, chúng tôi sẽ thông báo rõ những điều chỉnh là gì và cho các bạn cơ hội thảo luận thông qua các Trang web Dự án, và một thông báo trên [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Tuy nhiên, chúng tôi đề nghị bạn hãy định kỳ xem lại phiên bản cập nhật của các Điều khoản Sử dụng. Việc bạn tiếp tục sử dụng các dịch vụ của chúng tôi sau khi Điều khoản Sử dụng mới chính thức có hiệu lực sau thời gian thông báo và xem xét đồng nghĩa với việc bạn chấp nhận các Điều khoản Sử dụng trên. Nhằm bảo vệ Wikimedia Foundation và những người dùng khác như bạn, nếu bạn không đồng ý với Điều khoản Sử dụng của chúng tôi, bạn không thể sử dụng dịch vụ của chúng tôi.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Các Điều khoản khác ==

Những Điều khoản Sử dụng này không tạo ra việc làm, chi nhánh, quan hệ đối tác, quản lý chung hoặc mối quan hệ liên doanh giữa bạn và chúng tôi, Wikimedia Foundation. Đối với luật của Khu vực Kinh tế châu Âu, luật Vương quốc Anh, hoặc các luật khác nói về các khái niệm tương tự, bạn không hành động &quot;dưới sự cho phép của&quot; Foundation khi bạn sử dụng dịch vụ. Nếu bạn chưa ký kết thỏa thuận riêng biệt nào với chúng tôi, thì những Điều khoản Sử dụng này là toàn bộ thỏa thuận giữa bạn và chúng tôi. Nếu có bất kỳ cuộc xung đột giữa các Điều khoản Sử dụng và một thỏa thuận bằng văn bản ký kết giữa bạn và chúng tôi, thỏa thuận ký kết sẽ làm chủ xung đột này.

Bạn đồng ý rằng chúng tôi có thể cung cấp cho bạn các thông báo, bao gồm thông báo liên quan đến những thay đổi Điều khoản Sử dụng, thông qua hình thức gửi email, thư bưu chính, hoặc các bài đăng trên các Dự án hoặc trang web Dự án.

Nếu trong tình huống nào đó, chúng tôi không áp dụng hoặc thi hành một điều khoản trong các Điều khoản Sử dụng này, điều đó không có nghĩa là một sự từ bỏ điều khoản đó.

Bạn hiểu rằng, trừ khi có thỏa thuận khác bằng văn bản của chúng tôi, bạn không có hy vọng được bồi thường cho bất kỳ hoạt động, đóng góp, hoặc ý tưởng mà bạn cung cấp cho chúng tôi, cho cộng đồng, các Dự án hoặc các Phiên bản Dự án.

Bất kể điều khoản nào trái với các Điều khoản Sử dụng này, chúng tôi (Wikimedia Foundation) và bạn đồng ý không sửa đổi các điều khoản và các yêu cầu thích hợp của bất kỳ giấy phép tự do nào được sử dụng ở các Dự án hoặc Phiên bản Dự án khi các giấy phép tự do này được Điều khoản Sử dụng cho phép.

Những Điều khoản Sử dụng này được viết bằng tiếng Anh (Mỹ). Tuy chúng tôi hy vọng các bản dịch của Điều khoản Sử dụng là chính xác, trong trường hợp có bất kỳ sự khác biệt về ý nghĩa giữa bản gốc tiếng Anh và bản dịch, bản gốc tiếng Anh sẽ được ưu tiên.

Nếu như bất cứ điều khoản hoặc một phần điều khoản của Điều khoản Sử dụng này bị phát hiện là không hợp pháp, vô hiệu, hoặc không thể thi hành được, thì điều khoản hoặc phần điều khoản đó có thể bị loại bỏ khỏi Điều khoản Sử dụng và sẽ được được thi hành một cách tối đa theo giới hạn cho phép và đồng thời các điều khoản khác trong Điều khoản Sử dụng vẫn sẽ có đầy đủ hiệu lực.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Cảm ơn!==

'''''Imaxina un mundo onde todas as persoas do planeta teñan acceso gratuíto á suma de todo o coñecemento humano. Iso é o que estamos a facer.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|A nosa visión dos proxectos]]

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Dámoslle a benvida á Wikimedia! A Fundación Wikimedia, Inc. (en diante, &quot;nós&quot;) é unha organización sen fins lucrativos coa [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|misión]] de animar e atraer xente de todo o mundo para recompilar e desenvolver contidos educativos e publicalos baixo unha [[w:gl:Contido libre|licenza libre]] ou no dominio público e diseminar estes contidos de xeito efectivo e global, sen custos.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para soster a nosa comunidade activa, achegamos as infraestruturas esenciais e o esqueleto organizativo para o desenvolvemento de proxectos wiki multilingües e as súas edicións (como se explica [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|aquí]]), así como outros esforzos que sirvan á nosa misión. Esforzámonos por crear e manter dispoñibles na internet contidos educativos e informativos nos proxectos, sen custo ningún, para sempre.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Dámoslle a benvida (en diante, &quot;vostede&quot; ou &quot;usuario&quot;) como lector, editor, autor ou colaborador dos proxectos da Wikimedia e animámolo a que se una á nosa comunidade. Antes de participar, con todo, pedimos que lea e acepte os seguintes termos de uso (en diante, &quot;termos de uso&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Estes termos de uso explican os servizos públicos da Fundación Wikimedia, a nosa relación con vostede como usuario e os dereitos e responsabilidades que ambas as partes debemos cumprir. Queremos que saiba que aloxamos unha incrible cantidade de contidos educativos e informativos, todos eles achegados por usuarios coma vostede. Por regra xeral, nós non achegamos, vixiamos ou borramos contidos (coa rara excepción de políticas como estes termos de uso ou por esixencia legal en caso de notificacións da [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]]). Isto significa que o control editorial está nas mans de vostede e dos usuarios que crean e administran os contidos. Nós unicamente aloxamos ese material.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
A comunidade (a rede de usuarios que constrúe e utiliza constantemente os diversos sitios ou proxectos) é o principal medio a través do cal acadamos os obxectivos da nosa misión. A comunidade contribúe e axuda a xestionar os nosos sitios. A comunidade encárgase da función crucial de crear e facer cumprir as políticas sobre as edicións en cada proxecto (como todas as edicións en diferentes linguas do proxecto da Wikipedia ou a edición multilingüe da Wikimedia Commons).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vostede é libre de unirse a nós como colaborador, editor ou autor, pero debe seguir as políticas que rexen cada unha das edicións independentes dos proxectos. O noso maior proxecto é a Wikipedia, pero aloxamos outros proxectos, cada un con diferentes obxectivos e métodos de traballo. Cada edición dun proxecto ten un equipo de colaboradores, editores ou autores que traballan xuntos para crear e administrar os contidos dese proxecto. Pode unirse a estes equipos e traballar con eles para mellorar os proxectos. Dado que nos dedicamos a poñer os contidos accesibles ao público de xeito gratuíto, por norma xeral é necesario que todo o material que achegue estea dispoñible baixo unha licenza libre ou no dominio público.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Teña presente que vostede é responsable legalmente de todas as súas contribucións, edicións e reutilizacións dos contidos da Wikimedia baixo as leis dos Estados Unidos de América e outras leis aplicables (que poden incluír as leis do lugar onde reside ou desde o que ve ou edita os contidos). Isto significa que é importante que vaia con tino ao publicar contidos. Á vista desta responsabilidade, temos algunhas normas sobre aquilo que non pode publicar, a meirande parte é pola súa propia protección ou pola protección doutros usuarios coma vostede. Teña en conta que os contidos que aloxamos son para fins informativos xerais unicamente, de modo que se necesita consello profesional para unha determinada cuestión (sexa médica, legal ou financeira) debe buscar a axuda dun profesional licenciado e cualificado. Tamén incluímos outros avisos e renuncias importantes, así que pedimos a lectura completa dos presentes termos de uso.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para que quede claro: outras organizacións, como os [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|capítulos locais da Wikimedia]] e asociacións, que poden compartir a mesma misión, son legalmente independentes e están separadas da Fundación Wikimedia e non teñen responsabilidade ningunha sobre as operacións do sitio web ou os seus contidos.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Os nosos servizos==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
A Fundación Wikimedia dedícase a fomentar o crecemento, desenvolvemento e distribución de contido libre multilingüe, e aloxar todo este material en proxectos do tipo wiki para o público, sen custos. O noso papel é albergar algúns dos meirandes proxectos de referencia editados de xeito colaborativo no mundo, atopados [//www.wikimedia.org neste enderezo]. Con todo, nós actuamos unicamente como un servizo de hospedaxe, mantendo a infraestrutura técnica e organizativa que permite aos nosos usuarios construír os proxectos da Wikimedia ao achegar e editar os contidos que elaboran. Debido ao noso único papel, existen un par de cousas que debe ter presente ao considerar a nosa relación con vostede, os proxectos e os outros usuarios:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Non exercemos un papel editorial:''' Debido á natureza de edición colaborativa dos proxectos da Wikimedia, calquera contido que aloxemos foi proporcionado por usuarios coma vostede, e nós non exercemos un papel editorial. Isto significa que, por regra xeral, non controlamos ou modificamos os contidos dos sitios web dos proxectos, e non temos responsabilidade ningunha sobre estes contidos. Do mesmo modo, non apoiamos ningunha opinión expresada a través dos nosos servizos, e non representamos ou garantimos a veracidade, exactitude ou fiabilidade de calquera contido enviado pola comunidade. No canto diso, simplemente proporcionamos acceso aos contidos que os demais usuarios achegaron e editaron.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Vostede é o único responsable das súas accións:''' Vostede é legalmente responsable das súas edicións e contribucións nos proxectos da Wikimedia. Pola súa propia protección, debe ter coidado e evitar achegar calquera contido que poida resultar nunha responsabilidade civil ou criminal segundo as leis aplicables. Para unha maior claridade, as leis aplicables inclúen, polo menos, as leis dos Estados Unidos de América. Aínda que podemos non estar de acordo con esas accións, advertimos aos editores e colaboradores que as autoridades poden intentar aplicar as leis doutros países, incluíndo leis locais do lugar onde reside ou desde o que ve ou edita os contidos. A WMF xeralmente non pode ofrecer protección, garantía, inmunidade ou indemnización.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Política de protección de datos==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pedimos que revise os termos da nosa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|política de protección de datos]] para que sexa consciente do xeito en que recollemos e usamos a súa información. Dado que xente de todo o mundo fai uso dos nosos servizos, a información persoal que recollemos pode almacenarse e procesarse nos Estados Unidos de América ou en calquera outro país no que nós ou os nosos axentes manteñan instalacións. Ao facer uso dos nosos servizos, permite calquera destas transferencias de información fóra do seu país.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==3. Os contidos que aloxamos==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Pode atopar material problemático ou erróneo:''' Dado que achegamos unha gran cantidade de contidos producidos ou recompilados por usuarios coma vostede, é posible que dea con algún material ofensivo, erróneo, enganoso, mal identificado ou doutro xeito reprobable. Por este motivo pedimos que faga uso do sentido común e xulgue os contidos ao utilizar os nosos servizos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Os nosos contidos son unicamente para uso informativo xeral:''' Malia que aloxamos unha manchea de información referida a temas profesionais, como asuntos médicos, legais ou financeiros, estes contidos preséntanse con fins informativos xerais unicamente. En ningún caso deben confundirse co consello dun profesional. Busque asesoramento profesional independente de alguén licenciado ou cualificado na área en cuestión sobre calquera información, opinión ou consello presente nalgún dos nosos proxectos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Restricións de certas actividades==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Os proxectos aloxados pola Fundación Wikimedia existen grazas a unha enorme comunidade de usuarios coma vostede que colabora xunta para escribir, editar e organizar os contidos. Celebramos a súa participación nesta comunidade. Fomentamos o comportamento cívico e cortés nas súas interaccións co resto da comunidade, as actuacións de boa fe e a realización de edicións e contribucións encamiñadas a conseguir cumprir a misión do proxecto.
&lt;/div&gt;

Aínda que vostede conte cunha ampla liberdade para reutilizar os contidos dos proxectos, é importante salientar que na Fundación Wikimedia protexemos os nosos dereitos como marca comercial co obxectivo de protexer os nosos usuarios de usurpacións fraudulentas. Debido a isto, pedimos que respecte as nosas marcas. Todas as marcas comerciais da Fundación Wikimedia pertencen á Fundación Wikimedia, e calquera uso dos nosos nomes, marcas, servizos, logos ou nomes de dominio debe facerse de acordo con estes termos de uso e cumprindo a nosa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|política de marcas]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Licenza dos contidos==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para promover o crecemento do coñecemento e da cultura libres, todos os usuarios que colaboren nos proxectos deben outorgar diversos permisos ao público xeral para redistribuír e reutilizar as súas contribucións de xeito libre, sempre e cando este uso sexa recoñecido adecuadamente e se dea a mesma liberdade de reutilización e redistribución a calquera obra derivada. Para cumprir co noso fin de proporcionar información libre á maior audiencia posible, obrigamos a que, cando sexa necesario, todo contido enviado se atope baixo unha licenza que permita a reutilización libre por parte de calquera que queira acceder a ese contido.
&lt;/div&gt;

Acepta as seguintes obrigacións sobre a licenza:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
'''Textos dos que sexa posuidor dos dereitos de autoría:''' Cando envíe textos sobre os que teña os dereitos, acepta publicalos baixo estas licenzas:
* [$1 Licenza Creative Commons recoñecemento compartir igual 3.0 Unported] (&quot;CC BY-SA&quot;) e
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html Licenza de documentación libre de GNU] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (sen versionar, sen seccións invariantes, textos de portada ou textos de contraportada).
(Os usuarios que reutilicen os textos poden cumprir unha das licenzas ou ambas.)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
A única excepción é se a edición ou característica do proxecto necesita unha licenza distinta. Nese caso, acepta publicar calquera texto que achegue baixo esa licenza en concreto. Por exemplo, no momento da publicación desta versión dos termos de uso, a Wikinews en inglés obriga a publicar todos os contidos baixo a licenza Creative Commons recoñecemento 2.5 xenérica (CC BY 2.5) e non pide unha licenza dobre con GFDL.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Teña conta que estas licenzas permiten o uso comercial das súas contribucións, en tanto que os devanditos usos cumpran estes termos.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Recoñecemento:''' O recoñecemento é unha parte importante destas licenzas. Consideramos que é outorgar o crédito que merecen os autores. Cando contribúe con texto, acepta ser recoñecido dalgunha das seguintes maneiras:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;A través dunha hiperligazón (onde sexa posible) ou enderezo URL cara ao artigo no que colaborou (dado que cada artigo ten un historial que inclúe todos os autores e editores);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;A través dunha hiperligazón (onde sexa posible) ou enderezo URL cara a unha copia en liña alternativa e estable que sexa de libre acceso, que cumpra coa licenza e que dea crédito ao autores dun xeito equivalente ao crédito dado no sitio web do proxecto; ou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A través dunha lista de todos os autores (pero, por favor, teña en conta que calquera lista de usuarios debe filtrarse para excluír as achegas moi pequenas ou irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Texto importado:''' Pode importar texto que atope noutro sitio ou do que sexa coautor, pero nestes casos vostede garante que o texto está dispoñible baixo termos compatibles coa licenza CC BY-SA 3.0 (ou, segundo se explica anteriormente, outra licenza cando sexa esixida excepcionalmente pola edición ou característica do proxecto) (&quot;CC BY-SA&quot;). Non están permitidos os contidos dispoñibles unicamente baixo a GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vostede acepta que, se importa texto baixo unha licenza CC BY-SA que esixa recoñecemento, debe outorgar crédito ao(s) autor(es) dunha maneira razoable. Cando este crédito se dea comunmente mediante historiais de páxinas (como ao copiar internamente na Wikimedia), é suficiente dar recoñecemento no resumo de edición, que queda rexistrado no historial da páxina, ao importar o texto. Os requisitos de recoñecemento son, ás veces, moi intrusivos en circunstancias concretas (independentemente da licenza) e pode haber casos onde a comunidade da Wikimedia decida que o texto importado non se pode empregar por esa razón.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Ficheiros multimedia non textuais:''' Os ficheiros multimedia non textuais dos proxectos están dispoñibles baixo diferentes licenzas que permiten o fin xeral de reutilización e redistribución sen restricións. Cando achega ficheiros multimedia non textuais, acepta cumprir os requisitos destas licenzas, segundo se describe na nosa [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|política de licenzas]], e os das edicións ou características do proxecto no que estea colaborando. Véxase tamén a [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|política de licenzas da Wikimedia Commons]] para obter máis información sobre como contribuír con ficheiros multimedia non textuais nese proxecto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Non revogación da licenza:''' Agás cando sexa coherente coa súa licenza, acepta que non revogará ou buscará invalidar unilateralmente calquera licenza que vostede concedese baixo estes termos de uso a contidos textuais ou ficheiros multimedia non textuais achegados aos proxectos ou características da Wikimedia, mesmo se deixa de empregar os nosos servizos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Contido no dominio público:''' O contido que se atope no dominio público é benvido! É importante, con todo, que confirme a condición de atoparse no dominio público baixo a lei dos Estados Unidos de América, así como as leis de calquera outro país segundo se requira na edición do proxecto específica. Cando achega contidos que están no dominio público garante que o material está realmente no dominio público e acepta etiquetalo correctamente.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Reutilización:''' A reutilización dos contidos que aloxamos é benvida, aínda que existen excepcións para o material achegado baixo exencións do tipo &quot;uso lexítimo&quot; ou similares amparadas polas leis de dereitos de autoría. Calquera reutilización debe cumprir a(s) licenza(s) subxacente(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Cando vostede reutiliza ou redistribúe unha páxina de texto desenvolvida pola comunidade da Wikimedia, acepta recoñecer os autores de calquera das seguintes maneiras:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;A través dunha hiperligazón (onde sexa posible) ou enderezo URL cara á páxina ou páxinas que está reutilizando (dado que cada páxina ten un historial que inclúe todos os autores e editores);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A través dunha hiperligazón (onde sexa posible) ou enderezo URL cara a unha copia en liña alternativa e estable que sexa de libre acceso, que cumpra coa licenza e que dea crédito ao autores dun xeito equivalente ao crédito dado no sitio web do proxecto; ou&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A través dunha lista de todos os autores (pero, por favor, teña en conta que calquera lista de usuarios debe filtrarse para excluír as achegas moi pequenas ou irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Se o contido foi importado desde outra fonte, é posible que ese contido se atope baixo unha licenza CC BY-SA compatible, pero non GFDL (segundo se describe no punto &quot;Texto importado&quot; anterior). Nese caso, acepta cumprir coa licenza CC BY-SA compatible, ademais de non ter a opción de engadir a licenza GFDL. Para determinar a licenza que se aplica ao contido que vostede pretende reutilizar ou redistribuír, debería revisar o pé de páxina, o historial da páxina e a páxina de conversa.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ademais, teña presente que o texto con orixe en fontes externas e importado nun proxecto pode atoparse baixo unha licenza que necesite requisitos de recoñecemento adicionais. Os usuarios aceptan indicar estes requisitos de recoñecemento adicionais de maneira clara. Dependendo do proxecto, estes requisitos poden aparecer, por exemplo, nun cartel ou noutra notación que sinale que parte ou todo o contido foi publicado orixinalmente noutro sitio. Cando existen estas notacións visibles, as persoas que reutilicen o contido deben preservalas.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para calquera ficheiro multimedia non textual, acepta cumprir con calquera que sexa a licenza baixo a que se atope dispoñible a obra (que se pode descubrir premendo na obra e consultando na sección de licenza da súa páxina de descrición ou revisando unha páxina de orixe aplicable a esa obra). Ao reutilizar calquera contido que aloxamos, acepta cumprir cos requisitos de recoñecemento relevantes conforme a licenza ou licenzas subxacentes.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modificacións ou adicións no material que reutiliza:''' Cando modifica ou realiza adicións no texto que conseguiu do sitio web dun proxecto, acepta publicar o contido modificado ou engadido baixo a licenza CC BY-SA 3.0 ou algunha versión posterior (ou, segundo se explica anteriormente, outra licenza cando sexa esixida excepcionalmente pola edición ou característica do proxecto).&lt;br /&gt;

Cando modifica ou realiza adicións en calquera ficheiro multimedia non textual que conseguiu do sitio web dun proxecto, acepta publicar o contido modificado ou engadido de acordo coa licenza baixo a que se publicase a obra.&lt;br /&gt;

Tanto no caso de textos como de ficheiros multimedia non textuais, acepta indicar de maneira clara que a obra orixinal foi modificada. Se está reutilizando texto nun wiki, basta con indicar no historial da páxina que fixo un cambio no texto importado. En cada copia ou versión modificada que distribúa, acepta incluír un aviso de licenza declarando a licenza baixo a que se publica a obra, xunto a unha hiperligazón ou enderezo URL cara ao texto da licenza ou unha copia da propia licenza.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
A Fundación Wikimedia quere asegurarse de que outros usuarios poden reutilizar o contido que aloxamos sen risco de responsabilidade e que non infrinxen os dereitos de propiedade doutras persoas. Para sermos xustos cos nosos usuarios, do mesmo xeito que con outros creadores e posuidores de dereitos de autoría, a nosa política baséase en dar resposta aos avisos de presuntas infraccións que cumpran coas formalidades da Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). De acordo coa DMCA, nós cancelaremos, nas circunstancias axeitadas, os usuarios ou titulares de contas do noso sistema e da nosa rede que reincidan nas infraccións.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Con todo, tamén recoñecemos que non todos os avisos son válidos ou foron feitos de boa fe. Nestes casos, animamos aos usuarios a presentar contranotificacións cando teñan fundamentos que fagan crer que unha denuncia en virtude da DMCA é inválida ou inoportuna. Para obter máis información sobre o que facer se vostede cre que alguén presentou incorrectamente un aviso segundo a DMCA, pode consultar a páxina web de [//www.chillingeffects.org/ Chilling Effects].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Se vostede é o propietario do contido que se empregou de xeito inapropiado nun dos proxectos sen o seu permiso, pode solicitar a eliminación do contido segundo a DMCA. Para realizar esta petición, envíenos un correo electrónico ao enderezo {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} ou póñase en contacto por correo postal co noso axente designado nestoutro [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|enderezo]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Como alternativa, pode facer a solicitude á nosa comunidade, xa que a miúdo xestiona problemas cos dereitos de autoría de modo máis rápido e eficaz que o prescrito pola DMCA. Se é así, pode publicar un aviso explicando os problemas cos dereitos de autoría. Pode consultar unha lista non exhaustiva e non autorizada dos procesos seguidos nas diferentes edicións dos proxectos [[:m:Copyright problems|nesta páxina]]. Antes de encher unha reclamación segundo a DMCA, tamén ten a opción de enviar un correo electrónico á comunidade no enderezo {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vostede é o único responsable da utilización de sitios web e recursos de terceiros. Aínda que os proxectos conteñen ligazóns cara a sitios web e recursos de terceiros, non avalamos nin somos responsables da súa dispoñibilidade, exactitude ou contidos, produtos ou servizos relacionados (incluíndo, entre outros, calquera virus ou característica disfuncional), nin temos a obriga de controlar eses contidos de terceiros.

==10. Administración dos sitios web==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
A comunidade ten o papel principal en canto á creación e aplicación das políticas das diferentes edicións dos proxectos. Desde a Fundación Wikimedia, raramente intervimos nas decisións comunitarias relacionadas coas políticas e o seu cumprimento. En casos inusuales, pode xurdir esa necesidade ou a comunidade pode pedirnos axuda para tratar cun usuario especialmente problemático debido a unha actitude molesta ou un comportamento perigoso para o proxecto. Nestes casos, reservámonos o dereito, pero non temos a obrigación, de:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
* Investigar o uso que vostede fixo do servizo (a) para determinar se houbo unha violación destes termos de uso, dalgunha política da edición do proxecto ou calquera outra norma ou política aplicable, ou (b) para cumprir calquera lei aplicable, proceso legal ou solicitude gobernamental apropiada;
* Detectar, prevenir ou tratar de calquera outro xeito un problema de fraude, de seguridade ou técnico, ou responder ás solicitudes de asistencia dun usuario;
* Rexeitar, desactivar ou restrinxir o acceso á contribución de calquera usuario que viole estes termos de uso;
* Bloquear un usuario fronte á edición ou contribución, ou bloquear a conta de usuario ou o acceso por accións que violan os presentes termos de uso, incluíndo a repetición de infraccións dos dereitos de autoría;
* Tomar medidas legais contra aqueles usuarios que violen estes termos de uso (incluíndo comunicacións ás autoridades policiais); e
* Administrar doutro modo os sitios web dos proxectos dunha maneira deseñada para facilitar o seu funcionamento axeitado e protexer os dereitos, propiedade e seguridade de nós e dos nosos usuarios, titulares de dereitos, socios e o público en xeral.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
No interese dos nosos usuarios e os proxectos, na extrema circunstancia de que un individuo vise a súa conta ou o seu acceso bloqueado baixo esta disposición, el ou ela ten prohibido crear ou usar outra conta ou buscar acceso ao mesmo proxecto, a menos que lle deamos permiso explicitamente. Sen limitar a autoridade da comunidade, a propia Fundación Wikimedia non bloqueará un usuario fronte á edición ou contribución ou bloqueará a conta ou o acceso do usuario unicamente por realizar críticas de boa fe que non resulten en accións que doutro xeito violen estes termos de uso ou as políticas da comunidade.
&lt;/div&gt;

A comunidade da Wikimedia e os seus membros poden igualmente tomar parte nas accións cando así estea permitido polas políticas aplicables da comunidade ou da Fundación na edición do proxecto en particular, incluíndo, entre outras medidas, a advertencia, a investigación ou a expulsión de usuarios que violan esas políticas. Vostede acepta respectar as decisións finais das entidades de resolución de conflitos establecidas pola comunidade do proxecto específico (como comités de arbitraxe); estas decisións poden incluír sancións conforme o que estea definido nas políticas da edición dese proxecto.

Os usuarios especialmente problemáticos que visen as súas contas ou o seu acceso bloqueado en múltiples edicións de proxectos poden ser suxeitos a unha expulsión de todo o conxunto de proxectos, de acordo coa [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|política de bloqueos globais]]. A diferenza das resolucións do Consello de Administración ou destes termos de uso, as políticas establecidas pola comunidade, que poden cubrir unha ou varias edicións de proxectos (como a política de bloqueos globais), poden ser modificadas pola comunidade segundo os procedementos que teñan acordados.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
O bloqueo de contas ou do acceso ou a expulsión dun usuario baixo esta disposición debe facerse de acordo coa sección 12 dos presentes termos de uso.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Malia que agardamos que vostede siga contribuíndo aos proxectos, pode deixar de usar os nosos servizos en calquera momento. En certas circunstancias (que esperamos improbables), pode ser necesaria para nós ou para a comunidade da Wikimedia ou os seus membros (segundo o descrito na sección 10) a interrupción de parte ou da totalidade dos nosos servizos, a interrupción dos presentes termos de uso, o bloqueo da súa conta ou do seu acceso, ou o bloqueo da súa persoa como usuario. En caso de bloqueo da súa conta ou do seu acceso ou doutro xeito interrompidos por calquera outra razón, as súas contribucións públicas seguirán estando dispoñibles publicamente (suxeitas ás políticas aplicables), e, a menos que informemos á súa persoa do contrario, vostede seguirá tendo acceso ás nosas páxinas públicas co único fin de ler os contidos dispoñibles publicamente presentes nos proxectos. Nestas circunstancias, con todo, non poderá acceder á súa conta ou configuracións. Reservámonos o dereito de suspender ou finalizar os servizos en calquera momento, con ou sen causa, e con ou sen aviso previo. Mesmo despois de que vexa prohibidas, bloqueadas ou doutro xeito suspendidas a súa utilización e participación, estes termos de uso permanecen en vigor no que se refire ás disposicións relevantes, incluíndo as seccións 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 a 15 e 17.

Se quere realizar unha reclamación legal contra nós, acepta presentala e resolvela exclusivamente nun tribunal estatal ou federal localizado no condado de San Francisco, California. Tamén acepta que as leis do estado de California e, na extensión aplicable, as leis dos Estados Unidos de América rexerán sobre estes termos de uso, así como calquera reclamación legal que poida xurdir entre vostede e nós (sen referencia a conflitos de leis).

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modificacións destes termos de uso ==

Así como a participación da comunidade da Wikimedia é esencial para o crecemento e mantemento dos proxectos, cremos que a participación da comunidade é esencial para que os presentes termos de uso sirvan adecuadamente aos nosos usuarios. Tamén é esencial para un contrato xusto. Por este motivo, proporcionaremos estes termos de uso, así como calquera revisión futura substancial dos termos de uso, á comunidade un mínimo de trinta (30) días antes da fin do período de comentarios. Se unha futura revisión proposta é substancial, daremos 30 días adicionais para expresar os comentarios despois de publicar unha tradución da revisión proposta nun mínimo de tres linguas (seleccionadas por nós). Animaremos á comunidade a traducir a revisión proposta a outras linguas segundo sexa apropiado. Para realizar cambios por motivos legais ou administrativos, para corrixir unha declaración imprecisa ou para facer cambios en resposta a comentarios da comunidade, daremos un aviso dun mínimo de tres (3) días.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Dado que pode ser necesaria a modificación destes termos de uso de cando en vez, publicaremos un aviso destas modificacións e a oportunidade de comentar estes cambios a través dos sitios web dos proxectos e mediante unha notificación en [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Con todo, pedimos que revise periodicamente a versión máis recente dos presentes termos de uso (dispoñible no enderezo $2). O feito de que vostede continúe facendo uso dos nosos servizos despois de que os novos termos de uso se fagan oficiais unha vez rematado o período de aviso e revisión constitúe unha aceptación pola súa banda deses termos de uso. Co fin de protexer a Fundación Wikimedia e os outros usuarios coma vostede, se non acepta os nosos termos de uso, non pode utilizar os nosos servizos.

Se, nalgunha circunstancia, non aplicamos ou facemos cumprir algunha cláusula destes termos de uso, iso non significa unha renuncia á devandita cláusula.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vostede entende que, a menos que doutro xeito fose acordado por escrito con nós, non agarda compensación ningunha por calquera actividade, contribución ou idea que ofreza á comunidade, aos proxectos da Wikimedia ou ás edicións de proxectos.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Услови на употреба&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Замислете си свет каде секој би можел да има удел во слободниот и целосен пристап кон севкупното човеково знаење. Кон тоа се стремиме.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Изјава за нашата визија]]

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Добредојдовте на Викимедија! Фондацијата Викимедија („ние“, „нас“) е непрофитна добротворна организација чија [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|мисија]] е да го оспособи луѓето ширум светот да собираат и разработуваат содржини под [[w:mk:слободна содржина|слободна лиценца]] или во јавна сопственост, и успешно да ги распространуваат истите глобално и бесплатно.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Како поддршка за нашата раздвижена заедница, ние ја овозможуваме основната инфраструктура и организациските рамки за развојот на повеќејазичните википроекти и нивните изданија (како што е објаснето [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|тука]]) како и другите потфати во прилог на нашата мисија. Се стремиме да создаваме образовни и информативни содржини на Проектите, и истите да се нудат бесплатно, засекогаш.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ви пожелуваме добредојде („вам“, „вие“, „корисникот“) како читател, уредник, автор или учесник на Викимедиините проекти, и ви препорачуваме да се приклучите кон заедницата на Викимедија. Меѓутоа, пред да почнете со учество, би побарале да ги прочитате и да се согласите со следниве Услови на употреба („Услови на употреба“).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Овие Услови на употреба нудат објаснување за јавните услуги на Фондацијата Викимедија, нашиот однос со вас како корисник, како и правата и должностите што ги имаме (ние како организација и вие како корисник). Имаме неверојатна количина на образовни и информативни содржини - сите создадени од корисници како вас. Општо земено, ние не учествуваме со содржини, не ги надгледуваме и не ги бришеме содржините (со ретки исклучоци кај правилата како овие Услови на употреба или правнно сообразување со напомените на [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]]). Ова значи дека уредувачката контрола е во ваши раце и во рацете на другите корисници кои создаваат и раководат со содржините. Ние сме тука чисто за да ги вдомиме содржините.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Заедницата - мрежата од корисници кои постојано ги градат и користат разните мрежни места и Проекти - е главното средство за остварување на целите на мисијата. Заедницата учествува во нашите мрежни места и помага во нивното раководење. Таа ја има клучната задача да создава и спроведува правила за поединечните изданија на Проектите (како разните јазични изданија на Википедија или повеќејазичната Заедничка Ризница).
&lt;/div&gt;

Вие, корисникот, добредојдени сте да ни се придружите како учесник, уредник или автор, но ќе треба да ги следите правилата по кои се водат независните изданија на Проектите. Најголем проект е Википедија, но имаме и други - секој со свои цели и начин на работа. Секое издание на Проектите има своја екипа од учесници, уредници и автори кои заедно работат на создавањето на и раководењето содржините на тоа издание на Проектот. Добредојдени сте да им се приклучите и да соработувате со нив за да ги подобрите Проектите. Бидејќи сме посветени на слободниот пристап на содржините за јавноста, најчесто бараме сите содржини со кои придонесувате да бидат достапни под слободна лиценца или да се во јавна сопственост.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Имајте на ум дека вие ја сносите правната одговорност за сите ваши придонеси, уредувања и пренамена на Викимедиините содржини, согласно законите на Соединетите Американски Држави и други примеливи закони (каде може да спаѓаат законите на местото кајшто живеете или каде ги читате/уредувате содржините). Поради тоа, важно е да бидете внимателни кога поставувате содржини. Согласно оваа одговорност, ние имаме пропишано правила за тоа што можете, а што не можете да поставувате, а највеќето од нив постојат за да ве заштитиме вас или другите корисници како вас. Имајте предвид дека содржините што ги вдомуваме служат само за општо информање, така што, доколку ви е потребен стручен совет по одредено прашање (на пр. по здравствени, правени или финансиски прашања), тогаш ќе морате да се советувате со овластен или квалификуван стручњак. Тука се наведени и други важни напомени и одрекувања - затоа би ве замолиле да ги прочитате овие Услови на употреба во целост.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Да појасниме дека другите организации како [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|локалните Викимедиини ограноци и здруженија]] се правно независни и засебни од Фондацијата Викимедија, и не се одговорни за работењето на мрежното место и за неговите соржини.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Нашите услуги==

Фондацијата Викимедија е посветена на поттикнување на зголемувањето, развојот и распространувањето на слободни повеќејазични содржини, да ги нуди сите содржини на овие вики-Проекти на јаноста, и тоа бесплатно. Нашата улога е да ги вдомиме најголемите заеднички изработени информативни Проекти на светот, кои ќе ги најдете [//www.wikimedia.org тука]. Меѓутоа, наше е само вдомувањето, одржувањето и организациските рамки што им овозможуваат на корисниците да ги градат Викимедиините Проекти, учествувајќи со свои содржини. Поради оваа карактеристична улога, треба да знаете две нешта за тоа што ние претставуваме за вас, Проектите и другите корисници:

Како што се користат во остатокот од Условите за користење, нашите услуги се состојат од: [//www.wikimedia.org Веб-страници на проектот што ги хостираме], технолошка инфраструктура што ја одржуваме и било какви технички простори што ги хостираме за одржување и подобрување на нашите проекти.

Поради нашата уникатна улога, има неколку работи за кои треба да знаете кога ја разгледувате нашата врска со вас, проектите и другите корисници:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Нашата улога не е уредничка:''' Бидејќи на Викимедиините Проекти се работи здружено, сите содржини што ги вдомуваме и нудиме се дело на корисници како вас, а ние немаме уредничка улога. Ова значи дека ние начелно не ги надгледуваме, проверуваме, уредуваме и менуваме содржините на Проектите, и затоа не сносиме никаква одговорност за тие содржини. Од истите причини, ние не застапуваме ничии мислења изразени преку нашите услуги и не ја застапуваме или гарантираме вистинитоста, точноста и доверливоста на содржините што ги доставува заедницата. Ние само овозможуваме пристап до содржините што ги создале и уредиле вашите колеги-уредници.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Вие сте одговорни за вашите постапки:''' Вие сте правно одговорни за вашите уредувања, удел и учество на Викимедиините Проекти, па затоа, за ваша безбедност треба да бидете внимателни и да избегнувате да поставувате содржини што може да ве доведат во неповолна правна положба согласно применливите закони. Како применливи може да се сметаат барем два закона во Соединетите Американски Држави. Иако ние може да не се согласуваме со таквите постапки, ги предупредуваме уредниците и учесниците дека надлежните органи може да ви наложат други закони на земјата во која живеете или во која ги читате/уредувате содржините. Фондацијата Викимедија начелно не може да ви понуди никаква заштита, гаранција, имунитет или да ве ослободи од одговорност.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Заштита на личните податоци==

Би ве замолиле да ги прочитате условите на нашата [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Заштита на личните податоци]], за да знаете како ние ги прибираме и користиме вашите информации. Бидејќи нашите услуги ги користат луѓе од целиот свет, личните податоци што ги собираме може да се зачуваат и обработат во Соединетите Американски Држави или било која друга земја каде нашите застапници имаат опрема. Користејќи ги нашите услуги, вие се согласувате на таквиот пренос на информации вон вашата земја.

&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==3. Содржините на нашите проекти==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Некои материјали може за вас да бидат непожелни или погрешни:''' Бидејќи нудиме широк спектар на содржини што ги создаваат или собираат корисници како вас, може да наидете на материјал за кој ќе сметате дека е навредлив, погрешен, доведува во заблуда, погрешно именува или е поинаку непожелен. Затоа, при употребата на нашите услуги би ве замолиле да користите здрав разум и добро расудување.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Нашите содржини имаат исклучиво општоинформативна намена:''' Иако имаме огромен број на информации на разни стручни теми, вклучувајќи здравствена, правна и финансиска проблематика, истите се нудат само со цел за општо информирање. Не треба да се сметаат за стручен совет. Барајте независнен стручен совет од некој што е овластен и квалификуван во дадената област наместо да донесувате одлуки врз основа на информациите, мислењата или советите што се содржат во некој од Проектите.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Воздржување од извесни активности==

Проектите на Фондацијата Викимедија постојат исклучиво благодарение на големата заедница сочинета од луѓе како вас кои заедно соработуваат во пишувањето,  уредувањето и згрижувањето на содржините. Вашето учество во оваа заедница е добредојдено. Од вас бараме да бидете учтиви и пристојни кога општите со другите, да постапувате со добронамерност и да уредувате и учествувате со содржини насочени кон помагање на мисијата на заедничкиот Проект.

Извесни активности, било законски или противзаконски, може да им наштетат на другите корисници и да ги нарушат нашите правила. Некои активности може да паднат на ваш товар на одговорност. Затоа, за ваша заштита и заштита на другите корисници, таквите активности на нашите мрежни места ви се забранети. Тука спаѓаат следниве активности:

::* Барање на лично препознатливи информации со намера да се малтретира, експлоатира, нарушува приватноста, или за рекламни и комерцијални цели кои не се изрично одобрени од Фондацијата Викимедија; и

Поради ова, би ве замолиле да ги почитувате нашите заштитни знаци.

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Лиценци на содржините==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Со цел да растеж на заедничкото сладиште на слободно знаење и слободна култура, сите корисници што учествуваат во Проектите мора на општата јавност да да ѝ дадат широкоопфатна дозвола за слободно распространување и пренамена на нивните придонеси, под услов авторството и изворот да бидат соодветно наведени, а изведените дела да ги добијат истите слободи. Во духот со намерата да нудиме слободни и бесплатни информации на што поширока публика, бараме сите поставени содржини да се лиценцираат така, за секој заинтересиран да може слободно да ги употребува и пренаменува.
&lt;/div&gt;

Се согласувате со следниве лиценцни услови:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
'''Текстот во ваша авторска сопственост:''' Кога поднесувате текст на кого вие ги имате авторските права, се согласувате да го лиценцирате со:
* [$1 Криејтив комос НаведиИзвор-СподелиПодИстиУслови 3.0 Нелокализирана] („CC BY-SA“) и
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html ГНУ-овата лиценца за слободна документација] („GFDL“ или „ГЛСД“) (без верзија, без неменливи делови, предни или задни корични текстови).
(Пренамената може да се води по една од или обете лиценци.)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Единствен исклучок е случајот кога проектното издание или функција бара поинаква лиценца. Во тој случај, се согласувате да го објавите придонесениот текст под таа дадена лиценца. На пример, со објавувањето на оваа верзија на Условите на употреба, англиските Викивести налагаат сите текстуални содржини да бидат лиценцирани со Криејтив комонс НаведиИзвор 2.5 Нелокализирана (CC BY 2.5) и не се бара двојно лиценцирање со GFDL.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Имајте предвид дека овие лиценци не дозволуваат комерцијална употреба на вашите придонеси, под услов таквата употреба да се повинува по условите.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Наведување:''' Наведувањето на авторот и изворот претставува важен дел од овие лиценци. Сметаме дека заслугите мора да им се признаат на авторите како вас. Кога учествувате со ваш текст, се согласувате да биде наведен на еден од следниве начини:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Преку хиперврска (кога може) или URL до статијата каде имате дадено придонес (бидејќи секоја од нив има историја каде се наведени сите автори и уредници);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Преку хиперврска (кога може) или URL до друг, стабилен примерок на страницата/страниците кој е слободно достапен, кој се придржува до релевантната лиценца и кој ги наведува авторите на начин еквивалентен на начинот на кој тие се наведени на страницата на Проектот; или&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Преку список на сите автори (но имајте предвид дека списокот може да се исфилтрира за изземање на многу мали или нерелевантни придонеси).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Увезување на текст:''' Можете да увезете текст што сте го нашле некаде или што сте го напишале заедно со други, но во тој случај гарантирате дека текстот е достапен под условите кои се сообразни со лиценцата CC BY-SA 3.0 (или, според гореобјаснетото, друга лиценца, во посебен случај тоа да се бара од проектното издание или функција)(„CC BY-SA“). Содржините достапни само под GFDL не се дозволени.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Се согласувате дека, доколку увезувате текст под лиценца CC  која бара наведување, мора да го наведете авторот или авторите на разумен начин. Во случаите каде таквото признание обично се оддава преку истории на страници (како копирање во рамките на Викимедија), доволно е при увезувањето наведувањето да го направите во описот на уредувањето, кое потоа ќе се зачува во историјата на страницата. Барањата за наведување на извор/авторство понекогаш премногу се натураат за дадените околности (без разлика на лиценцата), и може да се јават случаи каде заедницата ќе реши дека текстот не може да се користи од таа причина.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Нетекстуални содржини:''' Нетекстуалнтие содржини (медиуми) на Проектите се достапни под најразлични лиценци кои одат во прилог на општата цел да се овозможи непречена пренамена и распространување. Кога учествувате со вакви содржини, се согласувате да се повините по барањата на тие лиценци според опишаното во нашите [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Правила за лиценцирање]], но и да се придржувате до барањата на даденото проектно издание или функција каде придонесувате. Повеќе информации за ова ќе најдете во [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Правилата за лиценцирање на Заедничката Ризница]].&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Неотповикливост на лиценцата:'''  Освен кога тоа е во склад со вашата лиценца, се согласувате дека нема еднострано да отповикате или да барате поништување на било која лиценца што под овие Услови сте ја дале на текстуални и нетекстуални содржини со кои сте придонеле на Проекти или функции, дури и ако престанете да ги користите нашите услуги.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Содржини во јавна сопственост:''' Содржините кои се во јавна сопственост се сосем добредојдени! Сепак, важно е да проверите дека истите навистина се во јавна сопственост согласно законите на Соединетите Американски Држави и другите земји, според барањата на конкретното јазично издание. Кога учествувате со содржини во јавна сопственост, гарантирате дека материјалот навистина е во јавна сопственост и се согласувате да го означите како таков.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Пренамена:''' Пренамената (искористување на друго место) на содржините што ги нудиме е добредојдена, иако постојат исклучоци, каде содржината се нуди за „праведна употреба“ или слични исклучителни случаи. Секоја пренамена мора да се повинува по лиценцата на содржината.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Кога пренаменувате и распространувате текстуална страница напишана од заедницата на Викимедија, се согласувате да ги наведете авторите на еден од следниве начини:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Преку хиперврска (кога може) или URL до страницата или страниците кои ги пренаменувате (бидејќи секоја од нив има историја каде се наведени сите автори и уредници);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Преку хиперврска (кога може) или URL до друг, стабилен примерок на страницата/страниците кој е слободно достапен, кој се придржува до лиценцата и кој ги наведува авторите на начин еквивалентен на начинот на кој тие се наведени на страницата на Проектот; или&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Преку список на сите автори (но имајте предвид дека списокот може да се исфилтрира за изземање на многу мали или нерелевантни придонеси).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Доколку текстуалната содржина е увезена од друг извор, можно е таа да е под лиценца сообразна со CC BY-SA но не и GFDL (според гореопишаното во „Увезување на текст“). Во тој случај, се согласувате да се повините по сообразната лиценца CC BY-SA и немате можност да ја прелиценцирате со GFDL. За да ја утврдите лиценцата што важи за содржината што сакате да ја пренамените или распространите, погледајте го подножјето на страницата, нејзината историја и страницата за разговор.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Покрај тоа, имајте на ум дека текстот што произлегува од надворешни извори и е увезен во Проект може да биде под лиценца што налага дополнително наведување на изворот/авторот. Корисниците се согласуваат јасно да ги наведат овие дополнителни информации. Зависно од Проектот, таквите услови може да стојат истакнати на плакат или други соопштенија кои укажуваат на тоа дека некои или сите содржини се првично објавени на друго место. Во случаите каде ваквите прибелешки се видливо истакнати, оние што вршат пренамена треба да ги запазат и во нивното наведување.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Кај сите нетекстуални содржини (медиуми), се согласувате да се повините по лиценцата под која се нуди делото (која може да се утврди ако стиснете на делото и погледате во делот за лиценца на описната страница или преглед на изворна страница што се однесува на делото). Кога пренаменувате било која содржина што ја нудиме, се согласувате да се придржувате до барањата за наведување на извор/авторство согласно нејзината лиценца или лиценци.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Менување или додавки на материјалот што го пренаменувате:''' Кога вршите измени или додавки на текст што сте ги добиле од некој Проект, се согласувате да ги ставите изменетите или додадените содржини под лиценцата CC BY-SA 3.0 или понова верзија (или, според гореобјаснето, друга лиценца кога тоа како исклучок се бара од конкретното проектно издание или функција).&lt;br /&gt;

Кога вршите измени или додавки на сите нетекстуални содржини што сте ги добиле од некој Проект, се согласувате да ги лиценцирате изменетите или додадените содржини во склад со лиценцата под која се нуди делото.&lt;br /&gt;

Во однос на текстуалните и нетекстуалните содржини, се согласувате јасно да ставите на знаење дека изворното дело е изменето. Кога користите текстуална содржина на вики, доволно е да наведете во историјата на страницата (т.е. во описот на уредувањето) дека сте извршиле измени во уввезениот текст. Секој примерок или изменета верзија што ја распространувате, се согласувате да приложите и лиценцна напомена која укажува под која лиценца е објавено делото, заедно со хиперврска или URL до текстот на лиценцата или примерок од самата лиценца.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

Фондацијата Викимедија сака да се осигура дека нашите содржини можат да се пренаменуваат од други корисници без да се грижат за правна одговорност и дали нарушуваат нечие сопственичко право. За да бидеме праведни кон нашите корисници, како и другите создавачи и иматели на авторските права, наше правило е да реагираме на дојавите за наводни нарушувања што ги спазуваат формалностите на „Законот за авторското право во дигиталната епоха“ (скрат. DMCA, од ''Digital Millennium Copyright Act''). Согласно DMCA, кога ќе биде потребно, ние ќе ги отстраниме корисниците и имателите на сметки на нашиот систем и мрежа кои на повеќе наврати нарушуваат нечие право.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Меѓутоа, знаеме и дека не секоја дојава за отстранување на содржини/корисници е исправна или добронамерна. Во такви случаи, им препорачуваме на корисниците да поднесат противдојави кога сметаат дека барањето за отстранување согласно DMCA е неважечко или несоодветно. Повеќе за ова ќе најдете на страницата [//www.chillingeffects.org/ Chilling Effects].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ако сте сопственик на содржина што неисправно се користи на некој од Проектите без ваша дозвола, тогаш можете да побарате нејзино отстранување согласно DMCA. Таквото барање можете да го поднесете на {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} или по обична пошта на следнава [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|адреса]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Во друг случај, можете да се обратите кај нашата заедница, која обично се справува со авторски прашања побрзо и поделотворно од пропишаното во DMCA. Во тој случај, можете да објавите изјава во која ќе го објасните проблемот. Несеопфатен и немеродавен список на соодетните постапки на разните изданија на Проектите ќе најдете [[:m:Copyright problems|тука]].

Заедницата игра главна улога во создавањето и спроведувањето на правилата што важат за разните изданија на Проектите. Самата Фондација Викимедија ретко се меша во одлуките на заедниците за правилата и нивната примена.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

Во интерес на нашите корисници и Проектите, во крајниот случај да се блокира нечија сметка или пристап согласно овие одредби, на лицето му се забранува создавање или користење на друга сметка и обидувањето да пристапи до истиот Проект, освен ако не добие јасна дозвола од нас. Без да ја ограничи надлежноста на заеницата, самата Фондација Викимедија нема да го забрани уредувањето и учеството на корисник или да му го ја блокира сметката/попречи пристапот само поради добронамерна критика која не предизвикува дејства кои на друг начин би ги прекршиле овие Услови на употреба или правилата на заедниците.
&lt;/div&gt;

Заедницата на Викимедија и нејзините членови може да спроведат постапка кога тоа го дозволува самата заедница или правилата на Фондацијата што важат за даденото издание, вклучувајќи (но не ограничувајќи се на) истрага, блокирање или забрана на корисниците што ги прекршуваат тие правила. Вие се согласувате да се придржувате до конечните одлуки на органите што го решаваат спорот кои ги воспоставуваат заедниците на проектните изданија (како арбитражните комитети); овие одлуки може да вклучуваат казнени мерки согласно одредбите на правилата што се однесуваат на даденото проектно издание.

Особено проблематичните корисници чиј пристап досега бил забрануван на повеќе проектни изданија може да подлежат на забрана на пристапот на сите изданија на Проектите, согласно [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Правилата за глобална забрана на пристап]]. За разлика од решенијата на Одборот и овие Услови на употреба, правилата што ги носи заедницата (што може да опфаќаат едно или повеќе проектни изданија, како оние за глобална забрана) подлежат на измена од заедницата што ги донела, следејќи ги нејзините постапки.

Блокирањето на сметка и пристапот или забраната на корисниците согласно оваа одредба ќе се раководи според Точка бр. 13 од овие Услови на употреба.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Иако се надеваме дека ќе останете со нас и ќе учествувате во Проектите, можете да престанете со користење на нашите услуги во секое време. Во извесни (се надеваме малку веројатни) околности може да се јави потреба ние или Викимедиината заедница или нејзините членови (според опишаното во Точка бр. 10) да укинат дел од или сите наши услуги, да ги укинат овие Услови на употреба, да ја блокираат вашата сметка или пристап, или да ви го забранат пристапот како корисник. Доколку вашата сметка или пристап е блокиран или поинаку укинат од било која причина, вашите јавни придонеси ќе останат јавно достапни (согласно соодветните правила), и, освен ако не ве известиме поинаку, и понатаму ќе имате пристап на нашите јавни страници со единствена цел да ги читате јавно достапните содржини на Проектите. Меѓутоа, во овие околности, нема да можете да пристапите до вашата сметка или поставки. Го задржуваме правото да ги запреме или укинеме услугите во било кое време, со или без повод, и со или без најава. Дури и по забраната, блокирањето или друго укинување на вашето користење и учество, овие Услови на употреба остануваат на сила во однос на релевантните одредби, вклучувајќи ги точките бр. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-15 и 17.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Пожолтено за да се нагласи важноста''

Се надеваме дека нема да се најдете во сериозни разидувања, но, во случај на спор, ви препорачуваме да го решите преку постапките или механизмите за решавање на спорови што ги нудат Проектите или нивните изданија и Фондацијата Викимедија. Доколку сакате да поднесете тужба против нас, се согласувате да ја поднесете и решавате исклучиво во државен или федерален суд сместен во околијата Сан Франциско, Калифорнија. Доколку исто така се согласувате со тоа што Услови на употреба, како и секој друг правен случај помеѓу вас и нас (не земајќи го предвид судирот на правните начела) се водат по законите на државата Калифорнија и, во мера на примеливоста, законите на Соединетите Американски Држави. Се согласувате да се покорите на личната надлежност на, и се согласувате дека местото е исправно во, судовите сместени во околијата Сан Франциско, Калифорнија, при секоја правна постапка поврзана со нас или овие Услови на употреба.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
За да обезбедиме неодложено решавање на спорот штом ќе се појави, се согласувате дека, без разлика на секоја спротиставена одредба или закон, секоја правна постапка што би произлегла од или во врска со употребата на нашите услуги или овие Услови на употреба мора да се поднесе во рокот предвиден со одредбите или, доколку е порано, една (1) година по рокот на разумно утврдување на фактите што ја причинуваат правната постапка (во спротивно правната постапка засекогаш ќе биде неостварлива).

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Фондацијата Викимедија прави големи напори да понуди образовни и информативни содржини на многу широка публика, но вие и само вие ја сносите одговорноста за употребата на нашите услуги. Овие услуги ги нудиме „какви што се“ и „според достапноста“, и изрично се оградуваме од секакви изјавени или подразбрани гаранции од било кој вид, вклучувајќиу (но не ограничувајќи се на) подразбраната гаранција за пазарна употребливост, погодност за дадена цел и непрекршување. Воопшто не гарантираме дека нашите услуги ќе ги задоволат вашите потреби и барања, дека ќе бидат безбедни, сигурни, непрекинати, навремени, точни и без грешки, или дека вашите информации ќе бидат на безбедно.

Ние не сме одговорни за содржините, податоците и постапките на трети лица, а вие не ослободувате нас, нашите директори, службеници, вработени и застапници од секакви барања за надоместоци, познати и непознати, што би произлегле од или се на било кој начин поврзани со секакво барање од некое од тие трети лица. Ниеден совет или информација, што ќе ја добиете од од нас или преку нашите услуги, усмено или писмено, не сочинува гаранција која не е изрично изјавена во овие Услови.

Преземањето или поинаквата набавка на сите наши материјали преки ваша употреба на нашите услуги е на ваша дискреција и ваш ризик. Вие и само вие сте одговорни за сите оштетувања на вашиот сметач или загуба на податоци кои би произлегле од преземањето на тие материјали. Се согласувате дека ние сме воопшто одговорни за бришењето на, или неуспешното складирање или пренос, на сите содржини и преписки што ги чува нашата служба. Го задржуваме правото да создаваме ограничувања на употребата и складирањето по наша (и само наша) дискреција во било коре време, без претходна најава.

Законските одредби во некои држави не ги дозволуваат видовите на одрекување во овој оддел, па затоа истите може да не важат за вас, делумно или целосно, зависно од законот.&lt;/div&gt;

Фондацијата Викимедија не ја сноси одговорноста кон вас или друго лице за било каква непосредна, посредна, случајна, посебна, последична или примерна оштета, вклучувајќи (но не ограничувајќи се на), оштета поради загуба на доходи, углед, употреба, податоци и други нематеријални загуби, без разлика на тоа дали сме ве предупредиле дека постојат можности за такви загуби. Нашата одговорност во ниеден случај не надминува вкупна вредност од илјада американски долари (USD 1000,00). Во случај некој закон да не дозволува ограничување или изземање на случајната или последичната оштета, горенаведеното ограничување или изземање нема да важи за вас, но нашата одговорност ќе биде ограничена во најголема можна мера што ја дозволува законот.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Измени на овие Услови на употреба ==

Исто како што учеството на Викимедиината заедница е од суштинско значење за растот и одржувањето на Проектите, сметаме дека учеството на заедницата е пресудно за да овие Услови да можат соодветно да им служат на нашите корисници. Ова е од суштинско значење и за да имаме праведен договор. Затоа, заедницата ќе ги добие на увид овие Услови, како и сите значајни идни измени на Условите барем триесет (30) дена пред крајот на периодот за коментирање. Доколку некоја идна предложена преработка е содржајна, ќе дадеме и дополнителни 30 дена за забелешки по објавувањето на преводот на предложената преработка на барем три јазика (изборот е наш). Заедницата потоа ќе треба да ги преведе предложените измени и на други јазици. Измените од правен или административен карактер, исправките на неточни искази и измените согласно забелешките на заедницата ќе се вршат со претходна најава, барем три дена пред нивното спроведување.

Бидејќи повремено може да се јави потреба од измена на овие Услови на употреба, ние ќе ве известуваме за измените и можноста да коментирате преку страниците на Проектите и со соопштение на [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Меѓутоа, би ве замолиле повремено да ја препрочитате најновата верзија на Условите. Продолжувајќи со користењето на нашите услуги откако новите Услови ќе стапаат на сила по периодот на коментирање подразбира дека ги прифаќате Условите. За да се заштити Фондацијата Викимедија и другите корисници како вас, доколку не се согласувате со нашите Услови, тогаш не можете да ги користите нашите услуги.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Други услови ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Овие Услови на употреба не сочинуваат вработување, застапништво, партнерство или заеднички деловен потфат помеѓу вас и нас, Фондацијата Викимедија. Доколку немате потпишано посебен договор со нас, овие Услови се единствениот договор помеѓу вас и нас. Доколку постојат некакви спротиставености помеѓу овие Услови и потпишаниот писмен договор помеѓу вас и нас, меродавноста ја има потпишаниот договор.
&lt;/div&gt;

Се согласувате со тоа да ви доставуваме соопштенија, вклучувајќи известувања за измени во Условите на употреба, по е-пошта, физичка пошта или преку објави на мрежните места на Проектите или на страниците на Проектите.

Доколку, во некој случај, не ги примениме или спроведеме одредбите на овие Услови, тоа не значи дека се одрекуваме од нив.

Разбирате дека, освен ако писмено не сме се договориле поиунаку, не очекувате никаков надомест за сите активности, придонеси и идеи што ќе ни ги доставите нам, на заедницата и на проектите и изданијата на Проектите.

Со исклучок на можните одредби што се спротивни на овие Услови, ние (Фондацијата Викимедија) и вие се согласуваме да не ги менуваме важечките услови и барања на ниедна слободна лиценца што се користи на Проектите или на изданијата на Проектите кога таква слободна лиценца е овластена од овие Услови.

Овие правила се изворно напишани на англиски јазик. Иако се надеваме дека преводите на овие Услови се точни, во случај да постојат разлики помеѓу изворната англиска верзија и преводот, првенство има англиската верзија.

Доколку било која одредба (или некој нејзин дел) од овие Услови се прогласи за бесправна, неважечка или неспроведлива, таа одредба (или тој нејзин дел) ќе се смета за одделива од овие Услови на употреба и ќе биде спроведен во најголема дозволива мера, а сите други одредби од овие Услови ќе останат сосем полноважни.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Ви благодариме!==

Навистина цениме што одвоивте време да ги прочитате овие Услови, и многу ни е драго што учествувате во Проектите и што ги користите нашите услуги.  Со вашите придонеси, учествувате во создавањето на нешто многу големо – не само важна збирка од заеднички создадени Проекти што информираат и образуваат милиони луѓе кои инаку не би имале пристап, туку и раздвижена заедница на истомисленици посветени на една многу благородна цел.

If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

มูลนิธิวิกิมีเดียหมายให้เป็นที่แน่ใจว่า เนื้อหาซึ่งเราดำรงไว้นั้นผู้ใช้อื่นสามารถนำไปใช้ซ้ำได้โดยมิต้องหวั่นเกรงความรับผิด และเนื้อหาดังกล่าวไม่ละเมิดสิทธิของผู้อื่นในการเป็นเจ้าของทรัพย์สิน เพื่อให้เป็นธรรมต่อผู้ใช้ของเราตลอดจนผู้อื่นที่สรรค์สร้างและถือลิขสิทธิ์ นโยบายของเราจึงตอบสนองการแจ้งกล่าวโทษการละเมิดสิทธิซึ่งกระทำตามแบบรัฐบัญญัติลิขสิทธิ์แห่งสหัสวรรษดิจิทัล (“รัฐบัญญัติลิขสิทธิ์ฯ”) ตามความในรัฐบัญญัติลิขสิทธิ์ฯ นั้น เมื่อมีพฤติการณ์สมควร เราจะระงับผู้ใช้กับผู้ถือบัญชีในระบบและเครือข่ายของเราซึ่งกระทำละเมิดลิขสิทธิ์ติดนิสัย
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
กระนั้น เราย่อมตระหนักดีว่า ใช่ว่าการแจ้งให้ดำเนินการทุกรายจะมีผลสมบูรณ์หรือกระทำโดยสุจริต เมื่อเป็นเช่นนั้น ถ้าผู้ใช้มีเหตุสมควรเชื่อว่า การร้องขอให้ดำเนินการรายใดตามรัฐบัญญัติลิขสิทธิ์ฯ ไม่สมบูรณ์หรือไม่สมควร เราก็ขอส่งเสริมอย่างยิ่งให้ผู้ใช้แจ้งร้องเรียนกลับ สำหรับข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมเกี่ยวกับการดำเนินการในกรณีที่เห็นว่าการแจ้งความตามรัฐบัญญัติลิขสิทธิ์ฯ เป็นไปโดยไม่สมควรนั้น ท่านอาจปรึกษากับเว็บไซต์ [//www.chillingeffects.org/ Chilling Effects]

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
ถ้าท่านเป็นเจ้าของเนื้อหาที่กำลังถูกใช้โดยไม่สมควรในโครงการหนึ่งโครงการใดซึ่งท่านมิได้อนุญาตฉะนั้น ท่านจะร้องขอให้ขจัดเนื้อหานั้นเสียก็ได้ตามรัฐบัญญัติลิขสิทธิ์ฯ ในการร้องขอเช่นว่า ให้ส่งไปรษณีย์อิเล็กทรอนิกส์มาหาเราทาง {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} หรือจะส่งจดหมายเป็นหนังสือมาหาตัวแทนที่เรากำหนดไว้ตามที่อยู่นี้ก็ได้

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

ผู้ใช้รายที่แก้ไขปราบปรามได้ยากยิ่งซึ่งเป็นเหตุให้บัญชีหรือสิทธิการเข้าถึงของตัวถูกสกัดกั้นในหลาย ๆ ภาคโครงการนั้น อาจถูกปิดกั้นจากภาคโครงการทั้งมวล ตาม[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|นโยบายว่าด้วยการปิดกั้นเป็นการทั่วไป]] นโยบายที่ประชาคมตราขึ้นซึ่งอาจใช้แก่ภาคโครงการเดียวหรือหลายภาคโครงการ (เช่น นโยบายว่าด้วยการปิดกั้นเป็นการทั่วไป) นั้น ประชาคมที่เกี่ยวข้องจะแก้ไขเพิ่มเติมตามวิธีการที่ตนวางไว้ก็ได้ ซึ่งต่างจากมติของคณะกรรมการหรือข้อกำหนดการใช้งานนี้

การสกัดกั้นบัญชีหรือสิทธิการเข้าถึงหรือการปิดกั้นผู้ใช้ตามความในข้อบทนี้ ให้เป็นไปตามข้อ 13 แห่งข้อกำหนดการใช้งานนี้

We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.

As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

'''''Imagineu un món on tothom pugui compartir lliurement el conjunt de tot el coneixement. Aquest és el nostre compromís.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Definició de la nostra visió]]

Sigueu benvingut a Wikimedia! La Fundació Wikimedia (&quot;nosaltres&quot;) és una organització benèfica sense ànim de lucre, la [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|missió]] de la qual és facultar i animar la gent de tot el món a aplegar o desenvolupar contingut de domini públic o bé sota una [[w:ca:Contingut lliure|llicència lliure]] i difondre'l de manera efectiva, global i gratuïta.

Per a recolzar la nostra comunitat nosaltres proporcionem la infraestructura bàsica i el marc organitzatiu per al desenvolupament dels projectes multilingües wiki i les seves edicions (tal com s'explica a la nostra [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|pàgina sobre projectes Wikimedia]], anomenats «Projectes» en endavant) i altres aspectes per a acomplir aquesta missió. Procurem fer i mantenir el contingut educatiu i informatiu dels projectes accessible en internet sense càrrec i a perpetuïtat.

Sigueu benvingut com a lector, editor, autor o contribuïdor del projectes Wikimedia; us animem a formar part de la comunitat Wikimedia. Abans de participar-hi, però, us preguem que llegiu i accepteu les següents condicions d'ús.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Aquestes condicions d'ús tracten dels nostres serveis públics dins la Fundació Wikimedia, de la nostra relació amb vós com a usuari i dels drets i responsabilitats que ens afecten a totes dues parts. Hostatgem una quantitat enorme de continguts educatius i informatius, tots ells aportats i fets possibles per usuaris com vós. Generalment nosaltres no aportem, ni controlem, ni esborrem continguts (amb rares excepcions, com per normes com aquestes condicions d'ús, per conformitat legal o per amenaces urgents). Això vol dir que el control editorial és a les vostres mans i a les dels companys usuaris que creen i gestionen els continguts.

La comunitat, la xarxa d'usuaris que estan contínuament bastint i utilitzant els Projectes o els seus llocs web (anomenats «Webs» en endavant), són el principal mitjà a través del qual s'han aconseguit els objectius de la nostra missió. La comunitat contribueix i ajuda a controlar els nostres Projectes i Webs. La comunitat també assumeix la importantíssima funció de crear i aplicar les normes a cada projecte concret (com ara, les edicions en diferents llengües per al projecte de la Viquipèdia o l'edició multilingüe dels Wikimedia Commons).

Us convidem a participar com a col·laborador, editor o autor, però heu de seguir les normes que regeixen cada projecte independent, incloent el [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Codi Universal de Conducta]], que aplica a tots els Projectes. El nostre projecte més important és la Viquipèdia, però també tenim altres projectes, cada un amb diferents objectius i mètodes de treball. Cada projecte compta amb un equip de col·laboradors, editors o autors que treballen junts per a crear i gestionar el contingut del projecte. Us convidem a unir-vos a aquests equips i treballar amb ells per a millorar aquests projectes. Com que estem resolts a fer que els continguts siguin de lliure accés al públic, els continguts que pugueu aportar es lliuraran al domini públic o bé sota una llicència lliure.

Tingueu en compte que sou legalment responsable de totes les vostres aportacions, edicions i reutilitzacions dels continguts de Wikimedia sota les lleis dels Estats Units d'Amèrica i altres lleis aplicables (que poden incloure les lleis dels països als quals esteu subjectes o on s'ubiquen les vostres contribucions). Això significa que és important que aneu amb compte en publicar, modificar o reutilitzar contingut. A la llum d'aquesta responsabilitat, tenim algunes regles sobre el què no hi podeu fer, la majoria de les quals són per a la vostra pròpia protecció o per a la protecció dels altres usuaris. Tingueu en compte que els continguts que hostatgem són només de caire informatiu general, de manera que si us cal l'assessorament d'experts per a una qüestió particular (com ara de temes mèdics, legals o econòmics), hauríeu de buscar l'ajuda d'un professional apropiat. També hi incloem altres avisos i exoneracions importants; per això us preguem que llegiu aquestes condicions d'ús en la seva totalitat.

Per a major claredat: altres organitzacions, com ara els [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|capítols locals de Wikimedia]] o associacions que poden compartir la mateixa missió, són jurídicament independents i separades de la Fundació Wikimedia. Si no es diu explícitament el contrari per part de la Fundació com a part autoritzada en un Web concret, aquestes altres organitzacions no tenen cap responsabilitat en les operacions del Web o en el seu contingut.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Els nostres serveis==

La Fundació Wikimedia es dedica a fomentar el creixement, desenvolupament i distribució de contingut multilingüe gratuït i a hostatjar el contingut complet d'aquests projectes basats en wiki per al públic de forma gratuïta. La nostra funció és hostatjar alguns dels projectes de referència més grans del món que s'editen de manera col·lectiva i que [//www.wikimedia.org es poden trobar aquí]. No obstant això, actuem només com un proveïdor d'hostatjament, mantenim la infraestructura i el marc organitzatiu. Aquest marc i infraestructura permet els nostres usuaris de bastir els Projectes, aportant i editant-ne ells mateixos els continguts. També permet que els nostres usuaris puguin reutilitzar-ne el contingut. La infraestructura que mantenim inclou infraestructura tecnològica especialitzada que permet als usuaris interaccionar informàticament i reutilitzar el contingut dels Projectes (a través d'aplicacions denominades «Interfície de programació d'aplicacions» o «API»), i aplicacions mòbil.

Tal com s'esmenta a la resta de les Condicions d'ús, els nostres serveis consisteixen en: [//www.wikimedia.org Els Webs que hostatgem], la infraestructura tecnològica que mantenim, i qualsevol espai tècnic que hostatgem per al manteniment i millora dels nostres Projectes.

A causa del nostre paper tan particular, hi ha un parell de coses que hauríeu de tenir en compte en considerar la nostra relació amb vós, amb els Projectes, i amb els altres usuaris:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Nosaltres no tenim una funció editorial:''' Com que els Projectes són editats de manera col·lectiva, la immensa majoria del contingut que hostatgem és proporcionat pels usuaris i nosaltres no tenim una funció editorial. Això vol dir que en general no controlem o editem el contingut dels Webs i que no assumim cap responsabilitat sobre aquest contingut. De la mateixa manera, si no es diu explícitament el contrari, no compartim cap opinió expressada a través dels nostres serveis i no assumim ni garantim la veracitat, exactitud o fiabilitat de qualsevol contingut presentat per la comunitat als Projectes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Vós sou el responsable de les vostres accions:''' Vós sou legalment responsable de les vostres modificacions i contribucions als Projectes, de la vostra reutilització de continguts als Projectes, el vostre ús de les API i el vostre ús dels nostres serveis en general. Per a la vostra pròpia protecció hauríeu d'anar amb compte i evitar fer cap acció que pugui donar lloc a responsabilitat penal o civil sota qualsevol llei que sigui aplicable. Com a aclariment: com a lleis aplicables s'hi inclouen com a mínim les dels Estats Units d'Amèrica i l'estat de Califòrnia. En altres països, es determinarà cas per cas. Encara que potser no estem d'acord amb actuacions d'aquesta mena, volem avisar els usuaris, particularment els editors contribuïdors i autors, que les autoritats estrangeres als EUA poden intentar aplicar-vos lleis d'altres països, en particular les del país on viviu o on veieu o editeu els continguts. Nosaltres en general no podem oferir cap protecció, garantia, immunitat ni indemnització contra l'aplicació d'aquestes lleis.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Política de privadesa==

Us demanem que reviseu els [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|termes de la Política de privadesa]], de manera que estigueu assabentat de com recopilem i utilitzem la vostra informació.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==3. Contingut que hostatgem==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Potser trobareu algun material qüestionable o erroni:''' Com que hostatgem una àmplia gamma de continguts que són generats o recollits per altres usuaris, podríeu trobar material que considereu ofensiu, erroni, enganyós, fora de context o bé qüestionable per altres motius. Per tant, us demanem que apliqueu el sentit comú i bon judici en utilitzar els nostres serveis.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''El contingut dels Projectes és de caràcter únicament informatiu:''' Malgrat que els nostres Projectes allotgen una gran quantitat d'informació referida a temes professionals, incloent qüestions mèdiques, legals o financeres, aquest contingut es presenta només com a informació general. No s'ha de prendre com a consell professional. Si us plau, busqueu assessorament professional independent d'algú que tingui llicència o estigui qualificat en l'àrea d'aplicació, en lloc d'actuar seguint qualsevol informació, opinió o consell continguts en algun dels Webs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Abstenir-se de certes activitats ==

Els Projectes hostatjats per la Fundació Wikimedia són possibles només gràcies a l'activa comunitat d'usuaris com vós, que col·laboren per a escriure'n, editar-ne i conservar-ne el contingut. Amb molt de gust acollim la vostra participació en aquesta comunitat. Esperem que sigueu cívic i educat en la vostra interacció amb altres dins la comunitat, que actueu de bona fe i que feu edicions i aportacions dirigides a impulsar la missió del Projecte compartit. Demanem que tots els usuaris revisin i segueixin el [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Codi Universal de Conducta]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), que especifica els requisits per a la col·laboració col·legial i civil de tots els nostres Projectes.

Certes activitats, ja siguin legals o il·legals sota la llei aplicable, poden ser perjudicials per als altres usuaris i violar les nostres regles, i certes activitats també poden ser subjectes d'accions de responsabilitat.

:'''Contribucions pagades de forma secreta'''

::* Heu de revelar tots i cadascun dels empleadors, clients i beneficiaris, i les seves afiliacions respecte de qualsevol contribució per la qual rebeu, o espereu rebre, remuneració. Heu de fer la divulgació en, almenys, una de les següents formes:
:::* una declaració a la vostra pàgina d'usuari,

::* La llei aplicable, o les polítiques específiques del Projecte i les directrius i polítiques de la Fundació, com ara aquelles que adrecen els conflictes d'interès, poden limitar encara més les contribucions pagades o requerir la divulgació de més detalls. Per exemple, es considera que contravenen aquesta secció, infringir les marques comercials de Wikimedia (definides a continuació a la secció 6) per a publicitar serveis d'edició, esborrar avisos en edicions pagades prèvies adequadament divulgades, o fer edicions pagades sense usuari registrat de manera que sigui impossible de manera pràctica divulgar-les correctament.
::* La comunitat d'un Projecte Wikimedia pot adoptar una política alternativa de divulgació de les contribucions pagades que suplementi o substitueixi aquesta secció. Si un projecte adopta una política de contribucions pagades alternativa, heu de complir amb aquella política en comptes dels requisits d'aquesta secció (titulada «Contribucions pagades de forma secreta») quan contribuïu en aquell Projecte concret.

:: Per a més informació, llegiu les [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|PMF sobre la divulgació de contribucions pagades]].


Les edicions no divulgades per part d'usuaris que reben una compensació crea una càrrega no raonable als editors voluntaris que [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|investiguen les polítiques de la comunitat]]. Per tant, pel que fa a violacions d'aquesta secció relacionades amb edicions pagades no divulgades, accepteu posar-vos a disposició d'una mediació vinculant &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (una &quot;Mediació d'Empresa de Màrqueting&quot;) tal com es descriu a la secció 14 de les presents Condicions d'ús.

Ens reservem el dret d'exercir a la nostra discreció les provisions de la secció 4 d'aquestes Condicions d'ús. On calgui, l'exercici d'aquestes condicions pot incloure accions no esmentades a la [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Política d'accions d'oficina]] de la Fundació Wikimedia. Si aquest exercici és requerit en circumstàncies noves, farem un esforç en un màxim d'un (1) any per a actualitzar la Política d'accions d'oficina i incloure-hi aquests nous tipus d'accions.

== 6. Marques registrades==

Encara que teniu força llibertat per a la reutilització dels continguts dels llocs web dels projectes, és important que, a la Fundació Wikimedia, protegim els nostres drets de marca registrada de manera que puguem protegir els nostres usuaris contra impostors. Per això us demanem que respecteu les nostres marques registrades. Totes les marques registrades de la Fundació Wikimedia pertanyen a la Fundació Wikimedia i qualsevol ús dels nostres noms comercials, marques registrades, marques de servei, logotips o noms de domini han de complir amb aquestes condicions d'ús i ser conformes amb la nostra [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|política de marques registrades]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Concessió de llicències dels continguts==

Per a fer créixer el patrimoni comú del coneixement i de la cultura lliure, tots els usuaris que contribueixen als Projectes o als seus Webs estan obligats a concedir permisos generals al públic en general per a redistribuir i reutilitzar les seves contribucions lliurement, sempre que en aquest ús es facin les atribucions pertinents i s'atorgui la mateixa llibertat de reutilització i redistribució a qualsevol treball derivat. D'acord amb el nostre objectiu de proporcionar informació gratuïta a l'audiència més àmplia possible, cal que quan sigui necessari tots els continguts presentats tinguin una llicència adequada perquè siguin reutilitzables lliurement per qualsevol persona que pugui accedir-hi.

Esteu d'acord amb els requisits de llicència següents:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Text del qual posseiu els drets d'autor:''' Quan envieu el text del qual teniu els drets d'autor, accepteu de publicar-lo sota les llicències:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (CC BY-SA 4.0), i
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (GFDL) (sense versió, sense seccions invariables, textos de portada, ni textos de contraportada).

Els reutilitzadors poden complir ja sigui amb una llicència o ambdues.&lt;br /&gt;
L'única excepció és si el Projecte local o funcionalitat requereix una llicència diferent. En aquest cas us comprometeu a autoritzar qualsevol text que aporteu amb la llicència concreta prescrita pel Projecte o la funcionalitat.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Tingueu en compte que aquestes llicències permeten l'ús comercial de les vostres aportacions sempre que aquests usos siguin compatibles amb les condicions d'ús.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Atribució:''' L'atribució és una part important d'aquestes llicències. Considerem que és donar crèdit on cal donar-lo -als autors com vós mateix. En aportar text accepteu que se us ha d'atribuir en alguna de les següents formes:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Mitjançant un hipervincle (on sigui possible) o URL a l'article al qual heu contribuït (ja que cada article té una pàgina d'història que enumera tots els autors i editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Mitjançant un hipervincle (on sigui possible) o URL a una còpia en línia alternativa i estable que és de lliure accés, que és conforme a la llicència i que acredita els autors d'una manera equivalent a l'acreditació atorgada en el lloc web del projecte, o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mitjançant una llista de tots els autors (però tingueu en compte que qualsevol llista d'autors pot ser filtrada per a excloure contribucions insignificants o irrellevants).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importar text:''' Podeu importar el text que heu trobat en un altre lloc o que heu co-escrit amb altres, però en aquest cas vós representeu i garantiu que el text està disponible sota condicions compatibles amb la llicència CC BY-SA (o, com s'ha explicat abans, una altra llicència quan excepcionalment sigui requerit pel Projecte o la funció). Per una llista de llicències compatibles, consulteu [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. No podeu importar contingut disponibles només sota la GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Accepteu que, si importeu text sota una llicència CC que exigeix atribució, heu d'acreditar l'autor (o autors) d'una manera raonable. Allà on aquesta acreditació es dóna normalment mtjançant historials de les pàgines (com a les còpies internes de Wikimedia), és suficient per a l'atribució en el resum d'edició, que es registra en l'historial de la pàgina, en importar el text. Els requisits d'atribució de vegades són massa intrusius per circumstàncies particulars (amb independència de la llicència) i pot haver casos en què la comunitat de Wikimedia decideixi que el text importat no pot ser utilitzat per aquesta raó.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Materials que no són text:''' Els materials que no són text estan disponibles en els projectes sota diferents llicències que recolzen l'objectiu general de permetre la seva reutilització i redistribució sense restriccions. Quan aporteu material que no és text, us comprometeu a complir amb els requisits d'aquestes llicències, tal com es descriu a la nostra [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|política de llicències]], i també complir amb els requisits del projecte o de la característica concrets als quals esteu contribuint. Veure també [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|política de llicències de Wikimedia Commons]] per tal d'obtenir més informació sobre la contribució de materials que no són text a Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''No revocació de la llicència:''' Llevat que la vostra llicència indiqui el contrari, accepteu no revocar unilateralment o invalidar qualsevol llicència que hàgiu concedit en virtut del present acord, tant per a text com per a materials que no són text, aportats a Projectes o funcionalitats, fins i tot si deixeu d'usar els nostres serveis.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Continguts de domini públic:''' Els continguts que són al domini públic són benvinguts! És important tanmateix que confirmeu llur condició de domini públic als Estats Units i a qualsevol altre país quan així ho requereixi el projecte local. En aportar continguts que es troben al domini públic, garantiu que el material és realment al domini públic i accepteu d'etiquetar-lo com a tal.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Reutilització:''' La reutilització dels continguts que hostatgem és ben acollida, encara que hi ha excepcions per als continguts aportats com a &quot;ús just&quot; o &quot;ús legítim&quot; o exempcions anàlogues en la legislació de drets d'autor aplicable. Qualsevol reutilització s'ha de fer conforme amb la llicència o llicències respectives.&lt;br /&gt;

En reutilitzar o redistribuir una pàgina de text elaborat per la comunitat de Wikimedia, accepteu d'atribuïr-la als autors en qualsevol de les següents formes:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mitjançant un hipervincle (on sigui possible) o URL a la pàgina o pàgines que esteu reutilitzant (ja que cada pàgina té una pàgina d'historial que n'enumera tots els contribuïdors i editors);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mitjançant un hipervincle (on sigui possible) o URL a una còpia en línia, alternativa i estable, que sigui de lliure accés, que s'ajusta a la llicència i que acredita els autors d'una manera equivalent al crèdit atorgats en el lloc web del projecte, o&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mitjançant una llista de tots els autors (però tingueu en compte que qualsevol llista d'autors pot ser filtrada per a excloure'n contribucions insignificants o irrellevants).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Si el contingut de text va ser importat d'una altra font, és possible que estigui sota una llicència compatible amb CC BY-SA, però no GFDL (com es descriu a &quot;Importar text,&quot; més amunt). En aquest cas us comprometeu a complir amb la llicència compatible amb CC BY-SA i no teniu l'opció de re-llicenciar-lo sota GFDL. Per a determinar la llicència que s'aplica als continguts que es tracten de reutilitzar o redistribuir, reviseu el peu de pàgina, l'historial de la pàgina i la pàgina de discussió.

A més, tingueu en compte que el text que es va originar a partir de fonts externes i s'ha importat a un projecte pot estar sota una llicència que comporta requisits d'atribució addicionals. Els usuaris accepten d'indicar aquests requisits addicionals de manera clara. Depenent del projecte, aquests requisits poden aparèixer, per exemple, en un bàner o en altres anotacions i indicar que una part del contingut o tot ell va ser publicat originalment en una altre lloc. Quan hi hagi anotacions visibles com les descrites, els reutilitzadors han de preservar-les.

Per a qualsevol material que no sigui text accepteu de complir amb la llicència aplicable sota la qual s'hagi publicat l'obra (pot fer-se visible fent clic en l'obra i mirant la secció de llicències a la seva pàgina de descripció o revisant la pàgina font de l'obra). Quan reutilitzeu qualsevol contingut que hostatgem nosaltres, us comprometeu a complir amb els requisits d'atribució rellevants tal com dicta la llicència o llicències respectives.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modifications o addicions al material que es torni a usar:''' En modificar o fer addicions al text que heu obtingut a partir d'una pàgina web del projecte, accepteu de llicenciar el contingut modificat o afegit sota la llicència CC BY-SA 3.0 o posteriors (o, com s'ha explicar més amunt, una altra llicència quan excepcionalment sigui requerits pel projecte local o funció).&lt;br /&gt;

En modificar o fer addicions a qualsevol material que no sigui text i que heu obtingut a partir d'una pàgina web d'un projecte, accepteu de llicenciar el contingut modificat o afegit d'acord amb la llicència sota la qual s'ha fet disponible el material.&lt;br /&gt;

Tant amb el text com amb el material que no sigui text, accepteu d'indicar clarament que el treball original ha estat modificat. Si esteu reutilitzant text en una wiki, n'hi ha prou amb indicar a lala pàgina d'història que heu fet un canvi en el text importat. Per cada còpia o versió modificada que es distribueixi, accepteu d'incloure un avís de llicència que indica sota quina llicència s'ha publicat el treball juntament amb un hipervincle o bé una URL al text de la llicència, o bé una còpia de la pròpia llicència.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

La Fundació Wikimedia vol assegurar-se que els continguts que hostatgem poden ser reutilitzats per altres usuaris sense por d'incórrer en responsabilitats i que no està infringint cap dret de propietat. Per a ser honestos amb els nostres usuaris, i també amb altres creadors i amb titulars de drets d'autor, la nostra norma és respondre als avisos de suposades infraccions si compleixen els formalismes de la Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). De conformitat amb la DMCA i en les circumstàncies apropiades, trencarem la relació amb els usuaris i titulars de comptes del nostre sistema i de la nostra xarxa que siguin reincidents als nostres Projectes i serveis.

No obstant això, també reconeixem que no tots els avisos d'infracció són vàlids o de bona fe. En aquests casos recomanem amb insistència als usuaris que presentin al·legacions quan considerin que una demanda d'infracció DMCA no és vàlida o no és correcta. Per a més informació sobre què fer si creieu que un avís d'infracció DMCA no és pertinent, consulteu el lloc web [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Si vós sou el propietari del contingut que s'està utilitzant indegudament en algun dels projectes sense el vostre permís, podeu demanar que el contingut sigui eliminat fent una sol·licitud d'acord amb la DMCA. Per a fer aquesta sol·licitud, adreceu-vos al nostre agent designat per correu electrònic a {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} o per [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|correu postal]].

Altrament podeu fer una sol·licitud a la nostra comunitat, que s'encarrega sovint de qüestions de drets d'autor de manera més ràpida i eficaç que a través del procediment prescrit per la DMCA. En aquest cas podeu publicar un avís explicant el vostre cas sobre drets d'autor. Per a obtenir una llista no exhaustiva i no autoritzada dels processos pertinents per a cada Projecte, vegeu la [[:m:Copyright problems|pàgina sobre problemes de Copyright]]. Abans de presentar una reclamació DMCA, també teniu l'opció d'enviar un correu electrònic a la comunitat a {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

==9. Llocs web i recursos de tercers  ==

Vós sou l'únic responsable de la utilització dels llocs web o dels recursos de tercers. Tot i que els Projectes i Webs contenen enllaços a llocs web i recursos de tercers, no garantim ni ens fem responsables de llur disponibilitat, exactitud, o la dels continguts relacionats, productes o serveis (incloent, sense limitació, qualsevol tipus de virus o d'altres elements perjudicials), ni tampoc tenim cap obligació de controlar continguts de tercers.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Gestió de llocs web ==

La comunitat té la responsabilitat principal per a tractar vulneracions de normes de projectes i qüestions similars. A la Fundació Wikimedia rarament intervenim en les decisions de la comunitat sobre la normativa i sobre la seva aplicació.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

En algun cas inusual, pot sorgir la necessitat, o la comunitat pot demanar-nos, que ens ocupem d'un usuari especialment problemàtic o d'un contingut especialment problemàtic arran d'una pertorbació significativa en algun Projecte o d'un comportament perillós. En aquests casos, ens reservem el dret, a la nostra discreció (o sota ordre legal), de:

* Investigar el vostre ús dels Projectes i els nostres serveis (a) per a determinar si s'ha produït una vulneració de les presents Condicions d'ús, de la normativa d'un Projecte, o de qualsevol altra llei o normativa, o (b) per a fer complir qualsevol llei aplicable, procés legal o sol·licitud governamental pertinent;
* Detectar, impedir o de qualsevol altra manera ocupar-nos de temes de frau, falsedats o informació no verificable, seguretat, o aspectes tècnics o bé respondre a sol·licituds d'assistència dels usuaris;
* Refusar, revertir, desactivar o restringir l'accés a contribuir de qualsevol usuari que vulneri les present Condicions d'ús;
* Prohibir un usuari d'editar o contribuir o blocar un compte d'usuari o l'accés per accions que vulnerin les presents Condicions d'ús, incloent la la publicació reincident de contingut il·legal segons la llei aplicable en línia amb els principis dels drets humans;
* Prendre mesures legals contra els usuaris que vulnerin les presents Condicions d'ús (incloent la presentació d'informes a les autoritats policials); i
* Gestionar els Webs d'una manera dissenyada per a facilitar-ne el bon funcionament i protegir els drets, propietat i seguretat de nosaltres mateixos i dels nostres usuaris, concessionaris, socis i públic en general.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
En interès dels nostres usuaris i dels projectes i en l'extrema circumstància que a algú li hàgim bloquejat el compte o l'accés en virtut d'aquesta disposició, té prohibit de crear o utilitzar un altre compte en el mateix projecte o accedir-hi per altres mitjans, llevat que expressament li donem permís. Sense limitar l'autoritat de la comunitat, la Fundació Wikimedia no impedirà que un usuari faci modificacions o aportacions, ni bloquejarà el compte o l'accés de l'usuari únicament a causa de crítiques benintencionades, sinó només si hi ha constància d'accions que infringeixin aquestes condicions d'ús o normatives de la comunitat.
&lt;/div&gt;

La comunitat de Wikimedia i els seus membres també poden prendre acció quan els ho permeti la normativa de la comunitat o de la Fundació que sigui aplicable a l'edició concreta del projecte, incloent però no limitant-se a l'advertiment, la investigació, el bloqueig o la prohibició dels usuaris que violin aquestes normatives. Vós us comprometeu a complir les decisions finals dels òrgans de resolució de conflictes que estiguin establerts per la comunitat per a l'edició concreta del projecte (com ara comitès d'arbitratge). Aquestes decisions poden incloure sancions, segons el que estableixi la normativa de l'edició concreta del projecte.

Als usuaris especialment problemàtics que han tingut els comptes o l'accés bloquejats en les edicions de diferents projectes se'ls podrà prohibir tota edició de projectes, d'acord amb la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|política global de prohibició]]. En contrast amb les resolucions del Consell o amb aquestes condicions d'ús, les polítiques establertes per la comunitat, que poden incloure tant l'edició d'un únic projecte com la de múltiples projectes (com ara la política global de prohibició), poden ser modificades per la comunitat pertinent d'acord amb els seus propis procediments.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
El bloqueig d'un compte o la prohibició d'un usuari en virtut d'aquesta disposició es farà de conformitat amb la secció 12 del present acord.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Encara que esperem que romandreu i que seguireu contribuint als projectes, podeu deixar d'utilitzar els nostres serveis en qualsevol moment. En algunes circumstàncies (esperem que improbables) pot ser necessari que nosaltres o la comunitat de Wikimedia o els seus membres (tal com es descriu a la secció 10) donem per acabada part o la totalitat dels nostres serveis, que aquestes condicions d'ús deixin de tenir vigència, que us bloquegem el compte o l'accés o que us vetem com a usuari. Si el compte o l'accés se us bloquegen o prescriuen per algun motiu, les vostre contribucions públiques es mantindran a disposició del públic (d'acord amb la normativa aplicable) i, llevat que us notifiquem el contrari, podreu accedir a les nostres pàgines públiques amb l'únic propòsit de llegir-ne el contingut disponible públicament dels projectes. En aquestes circumstàncies, però, possiblement no podreu accedir al vostre compte ni als paràmetres de configuració. Ens reservem el dret de suspendre o anul·lar els serveis en qualsevol moment, amb o sense causa, i amb o sense previ avís. Fins i tot després que hàgiu estat vetat o bloquejat o d'alguna manera suspès, les disposicions pertinents d'aquestes condicions d'ús romandran en vigor, en especial les seccions 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-15 i 17.

Encara que esperem que no sorgeixin discrepàncies serioses, en el cas que hi hagi cap conflicte entre vós i la Fundació Wikimedia, us comprometeu a dirimir-lo exclusivament en un tribunal estatal o federal del comtat de San Francisco, Califòrnia. També accepteu que les lleis de l'estat de Califòrnia i, allà on siguin d'aplicació, les lleis dels Estats Units d'Amèrica governin el present acord, així com qualsevol reclamació que pogués sorgir entre vós i nosaltres (sense referència a conflicte de principis legals). Vós accepteu sotmetre a la jurisdicció personal dels tribunals ubicats al comtat de San Francisco, Califòrnia, i accepteu que el lloc és adequat, qualsevol acció o procediment legals relacionats amb nosaltres o amb el present acord.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Per a assegurar que els conflictes es tracten immediatament després que sorgeixen, vós accepteu que -independentment de qualsevol estatut o llei en contra- qualsevol reclamació o acció que pogués sorgir relativa a la utilizació dels nostres serveis o al present acord han de ser presentades dins del termini aplicable o, si és més curt, un (1) any després del descobriment dels fets subjacents en les esmentades reclamació o acció o bé ser descartat per sempre.

As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

== 17. Modificacions a aquest acord ==

De la mateixa manera que l'aportació de la comunitat de Wikimedia és essencial per al creixement i el manteniment dels projectes, creiem que la participació de la comunitat és essencial per a que el present acord sigui útil als nostres usuaris. També és essencial per a un contracte just. Per tant nosaltres facilitarem el present acord a la comunitat, així com qualsevol futura modificació substancial del mateix, per a fer-hi comentaris com a mínim trenta (30) dies abans d'exhaurir-se el període de comentaris. Si hi ha una futura proposta de revisió que sigui rellevant, donarem 30 dies addicionals per a comentaris després de publicar una traducció de la proposta de revisió en almenys tres idiomes. Animarem a la comunitat a traduir la proposta de revisió a altres idiomes, segons correspongui. Per als canvis per raons legals o administratives, per a corregir una declaració inexacta, o per als canvis derivats de comentaris de la comunitat, donarem com a mínim un avís de tres (3) dies.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Com que de tant en tant pot ser necessari modificar el present acord o la normativa relacionada amb ell, donarem avís de les modificacions i l'oportunitat de comentar-ho a través dels llocs web del projecte i mitjançant una notificació a [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. No obstant això, us demanem que reviseu regularment la versió més actualitzada del present acord (disponible a $2), ja que la utilització continuada per part vostra dels nostres serveis un cop  el nou acord és oficial després de la notificació i del període de revisió, suposa la vostra acceptació de l'acord. Per a la protecció de la Fundació Wikimedia i altres usuaris com vós, si no esteu d'acord amb les nostres condicions d'ús, no podeu utilitzar els nostres serveis.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Aquest acord no constitueix relació laboral, agència, associació ni relació empresarial de cap mena entre vós i nosaltres, la Fundació Wikimedia. Si no heu signat cap altre acord amb nosaltres, el present acord defineix tota la relació entre vós i nosaltres. En cas de conflicte entre el present acord i un altre acord signat per escrit entre vós i nosaltres, l'acord signat preval.
&lt;/div&gt;

Accepteu que podem enviar-vos avisos, incloent els relatius a canvis en el present acord, per correu electrònic, correu ordinari o publicant-los als Projectes o als seus Webs.

Si en alguna circumstància no apliquem o fem complir alguna disposició del present acord, això no suposa renúncia a tal disposició.

Llevat que nosaltres acordem el contrari per escrit, sou conscient que no teniu dret a compensació per qualsevol activitat, aportació o idea que ens oferiu a nosaltres, a la comunitat, o als Projectes o a les seves edicions.

El present acord ha estat escrit en anglès (dels Estats Units d'Amèrica). Si bé confiem en que les traduccions són exactes, si hi hagués qualsevol discrepància de significat entre la versió original en anglès i una traducció, prevaldrà la primera.

Si alguna disposició o part d'una disposició del present acord es considera il·legal, nul·la o no exigible, es considerarà que es pot segregar del present acord i s'aplicarà en la màxima extensió possible, i totes les altres disposicions del present acord romandran en ple vigor i efecte.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Naše Podmínky použití&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Představte si svět, v&amp;nbsp;němž může každý člověk svobodně přistupovat k&amp;nbsp;veškerým lidským znalostem. Právě takový svět budujeme.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Naše vize]]

Vítejte na Wikimedii! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;my&quot; nebo &quot;nás&quot; nebo &quot;nadace&quot;) je nezisková charitativní organizace se sídlem v San Franciscu, Kalifornie, Spojené státy americké, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|jejíž posláním]] je posilovat a zapojit lidi po celém světě, aby shromažďovali a vyvíjeli obsah [[{{lwp|Free content}}|pod bezplatnou licencí]] nebo ve veřejné doméně a aby jej efektivně a globálně bezplatně šířili.

Abychom podpořili naši živou komunitu, poskytujeme základní infrastrukturu a organizační rámec pro vývoj vícejazyčných wiki projektů a jejich edic (jak je vysvětleno na naší [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|stránce Wikimedia Projects]]) (dále jen &quot;Projekty&quot;) a dalších úsilí, které tomuto poslání slouží. Usilujeme o to, aby vzdělávací a informační obsah z Projektů byl dostupný na internetu bezplatně a trvale.

Vítáme vás (&quot;vy&quot; nebo &quot;uživatel&quot;) jako čtenáře nebo přispěvatele projektů a doporučujeme vám připojit se ke komunitě Wikimedie. Než se však zúčastníte, žádáme vás, abyste si přečetli a souhlasili s následujícími podmínkami použití (dále jen &quot;podmínky použití&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Tyto podmínky použití vás informují o našich veřejných službách ve Wikimedia Foundation, našem vztahu k vám jako uživateli a právech a povinnostech, kterými se oba řídíme. Hostujeme neuvěřitelné množství vzdělávacího a informačního obsahu, ke kterému všemu přispívají a umožňují to uživatelé, jako jste vy. Obecně nepřispíváme, nemonitorujeme ani nemažeme obsah (až na vzácné výjimky, jako jsou zásady, jako jsou tyto Podmínky použití, z důvodu dodržování právních předpisů nebo když čelíme naléhavým hrozbám vážné újmy). To znamená, že redakční kontrola je v rukou vás a vašich dalších uživatelů, kteří vytvářejí a spravují obsah.

Komunita – síť uživatelů, kteří neustále budují a používají Projekty a/nebo jejich webové stránky (dále jen &quot;Webové stránky projektu&quot;) – je hlavním prostředkem, jehož prostřednictvím je dosahováno cílů poslání. Komunita přispívá a pomáhá řídit naše projekty a webové stránky projektů. Komunita také přebírá kritickou funkci vytváření a prosazování zásad pro konkrétní edice projektu (jako jsou různé jazykové edice pro projekt Wikipedie nebo vícejazyčné vydání Wikimedia Commons).

Vy, uživatel, se můžete připojit jako přispěvatel, editor nebo autor, ale měli byste dodržovat zásady, kterými se řídí každé z nezávislých vydání projektu, včetně [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), který platí pro všechny edice projektu. Největším z našich projektů je Wikipedie, ale pořádáme i jiné projekty, každý s jinými cíli a metodami práce. Každé vydání projektu má tým přispěvatelů, editorů nebo autorů, kteří spolupracují na vytváření a správě obsahu daného vydání projektu. Jste vítáni, abyste se k těmto týmům přidali a spolupracovali s nimi na zlepšení těchto projektů. Vzhledem k tomu, že jsme odhodláni zpřístupňovat obsah volně veřejnosti, obsah, který přispíváte, je zpřístupněn na základě bezplatné licence nebo je uvolněn ve veřejné doméně.

Vezměte prosím na vědomí, že jste právně odpovědní za všechny své příspěvky, úpravy a opětovné použití obsahu Wikimedie podle zákonů Spojených států amerických a dalších platných zákonů (které mohou zahrnovat zákony, ve kterých se nacházíte vy nebo předmět vašich příspěvků). To znamená, že je důležité, abyste byli opatrní při zveřejňování, úpravách nebo opětovném použití obsahu. Ve světle této odpovědnosti máme určitá pravidla ohledně toho, co nemůžete dělat, z nichž většina slouží buď pro vaši vlastní ochranu, nebo pro ochranu ostatních uživatelů, jako jste vy. Mějte prosím na paměti, že obsah, který hostujeme, slouží pouze k obecným informačním účelům, takže pokud potřebujete odbornou radu pro konkrétní otázku (například zdravotní, právní nebo finanční problémy), měli byste vyhledat pomoc příslušného odborníka. Zahrnujeme také další důležitá upozornění a prohlášení o vyloučení odpovědnosti, proto si prosím přečtěte tyto Podmínky použití jako celek.

Pro upřesnění, další organizace, jako jsou [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|místní kapitoly Wikimedie]] a sdružení, které se mohou podílet na stejném poslání, jsou nicméně právně nezávislé a oddělené od Wikimedia Foundation. Pokud nadace jako oprávněná strana na webových stránkách daného projektu neuvede jinak, tyto další organizace nenesou žádnou odpovědnost za provoz webových stránek projektu ani za jejich obsah.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Naše služby ==

Wikimedia Foundation se věnuje podpoře růstu, vývoje a distribuce bezplatného vícejazyčného obsahu a bezplatnému hostování celého obsahu těchto projektů založených na wiki pro veřejnost. Naší úlohou je hostit některé z největších společně upravovaných referenčních projektů na světě, [//www.wikimedia.org, který lze nalézt zde]. Vystupujeme však pouze jako poskytovatel hostingových služeb, udržujeme infrastrukturu a organizační rámec. Tato infrastruktura a rámec umožňují našim uživatelům vytvářet projekty tím, že sami přispívají a upravují obsah. Umožňují také našim uživatelům tento obsah znovu používat. Infrastruktura, kterou udržujeme, zahrnuje specializovanou technologickou infrastrukturu, která uživatelům umožňuje programově interagovat a znovu používat obsah v projektech (označovaných jako &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; (aplikační programovací rozhraní) nebo &quot;API&quot;) a mobilních aplikacích.

Jak se používá v ostatních podmínkách použití, naše služby se skládají z: [//www.wikimedia.org Webových stránek projektu, které hostujeme], technologické infrastruktury, kterou udržujeme, a veškerých technických prostorů, které hostujeme pro údržbu a zlepšování našich Projektů.

Vzhledem k naší jedinečné roli existuje několik věcí, kterých byste si měli být vědomi, když uvažujete o našem vztahu k vám, projektům a dalším uživatelům:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Nepřebíráme redakční roli:''' Protože projekty jsou upravovány ve spolupráci, převážnou většinu obsahu, který hostujeme, poskytují uživatelé a my nepřebíráme žádnou redakční roli. To znamená, že obecně nesledujeme ani neupravujeme obsah webových stránek projektu a neneseme za tento obsah žádnou odpovědnost. Podobně, pokud jsme výslovně neuvedli jinak, nepodporujeme žádné názory vyjádřené prostřednictvím našich služeb a nereprezentujeme ani nezaručujeme pravdivost, přesnost nebo spolehlivost jakéhokoli předloženého komunitního obsahu na Projektech.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Jste odpovědní za své vlastní činy:''' Jste právně odpovědní za své úpravy a příspěvky na projektech, za opětovné použití obsahu v projektech, za používání rozhraní API a obecně za používání našich služeb. Pro svou vlastní ochranu byste měli být opatrní a vyvarovat se jakýchkoli kroků, které by mohly vést k trestní nebo občanskoprávní odpovědnosti podle jakýchkoli platných zákonů. Pro upřesnění, platné zákony zahrnují alespoň zákony Spojených států amerických a státu Kalifornie. U ostatních zemí se to určuje případ od případu. I když s takovými akcemi nemusíme souhlasit, upozorňujeme uživatele – zejména redaktory, přispěvatele a autory –, že orgány mimo USA se na vás mohou snažit uplatňovat zákony jiných zemí, včetně místních zákonů tam, kde žijete nebo kde prohlížíte či upravujete obsah. Obecně nemůžeme nabídnout žádnou ochranu, záruku, imunitu nebo odškodnění proti aplikaci takových zákonů.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Ochrana osobních údajů ==

Žádáme vás, abyste si přečetli [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|podmínky našich zásad ochrany osobních údajů]], abyste věděli, jak shromažďujeme a používáme vaše informace.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Obsah, který uchováváme ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Některý materiál můžete považovat za nevhodný nebo chybný:''' Protože hostujeme širokou škálu obsahu, který tvoří nebo shromažďují ostatní uživatelé, můžete se setkat s materiálem, který považujete za urážlivý, chybný, zavádějící, nesprávně označený nebo jinak nevhodný. . Žádáme vás proto, abyste při používání našich služeb používali zdravý rozum a správný úsudek.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Obsah Projektů je pouze pro obecné informační účely:''' Přestože naše Projekty obsahují velké množství informací, které se týkají odborných témat, včetně lékařských, právních nebo finančních problémů, tento obsah je prezentován pouze pro obecné informační účely. Neměly by se brát jako odborná rada. Vyhledejte nezávislou odbornou radu od někoho, kdo má licenci nebo kvalifikaci v příslušné oblasti namísto jednání na základě jakýchkoli informací, názorů nebo rad obsažených na jedné z webových stránek projektu.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Zdržení se určitých typů jednání ==

Projekty hostované nadací Wikimedia Foundation existují pouze díky živé komunitě uživatelů, jako jste vy, kteří spolupracují na psaní, úpravě a správě obsahu. Rádi uvítáme vaši účast v této komunitě. Doporučujeme vám, abyste byli ve svých interakcích s ostatními v komunitě zdvořilí a zásadoví, abyste jednali v dobré víře a prováděli úpravy a příspěvky zaměřené na podporu poslání sdíleného projektu. Žádáme všechny uživatele, aby si přečetli a dodržovali [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Univerzální kodex chování]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), který stanoví požadavky na kolegiální, občanskou spolupráci napříč všemi projekty, které hostujeme.

Určité aktivity, ať už legální nebo nezákonné podle platných zákonů, mohou být škodlivé pro ostatní uživatele a porušovat naše pravidla, a některé aktivity vás také mohou vystavit odpovědnosti.

{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
: '''Zatajené placené přispívání'''

::* Musíte zveřejnit každého zaměstnavatele, klienta, zamýšleného příjemce a přidružení vztah k jakémukoli příspěvku, za který dostáváte nebo očekáváte, že dostanete kompenzaci. Toto zveřejnění musíte učinit alespoň jedním z následujících způsobů:
:::* Prohlášení na vaší uživatelské stránce,
:::* Prohlášení na diskusní stránce u každého placeného příspěvku nebo
:::* Prohlášení ve shrnutí editace doprovázejícím každý placený příspěvek.

::* Platné zákony nebo zásady specifické pro Projekt a zásady a pokyny nadace, jako jsou ty, které se zabývají střety zájmů, mohou dále omezit placené příspěvky nebo vyžadovat podrobnější zveřejnění. Tuto část porušuje například porušení ochranných známek Wikimedia (definované dále v části 6) za účelem inzerování placených editačních služeb, odstranění zveřejnění dříve adekvátně zveřejněných placených editací nebo odhlášení placené editace způsobem, který činí přiměřené zveřejnění prakticky nemožné.
::* Komunita projektu Wikimedia může přijmout alternativní politiku zveřejňování placených příspěvků, která může tuto sekci doplnit nebo nahradit. Pokud projekt přijme alternativní zásady zveřejňování, můžete při přispívání do daného projektu dodržovat tyto zásady namísto požadavků v této části (nazvané &quot;Placené příspěvky bez zveřejnění&quot;).

Nezveřejněné úpravy ze strany uživatelů, kteří dostávají odměnu, vytvářejí nepřiměřenou zátěž pro dobrovolné redaktory [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|kteří vyšetřují a prosazují zásady komunity]]. Proto v případě porušení této části související s nezveřejněnými placenými úpravami souhlasíte s tím, že se podřídíte závaznému &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (&quot;Zprostředkování marketingové společnosti&quot;), jak je popsáno v části 14 těchto Podmínek použití.

Vyhrazujeme si právo uplatnit naše uvážení ohledně vymáhání s ohledem na ustanovení v části 4 těchto Podmínek použití. V případě potřeby může vymáhání těchto podmínek zahrnovat akce, které nejsou uvedeny v zásadách Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Zásady akcí úřadu]]. Pokud je za nových okolností vyžadováno vymáhání, vynaložíme úsilí nanejvýš do jednoho (1) roku, abychom aktualizovali Zásady akcí úřadu tak, aby katalogizovaly nový typ akce.

== 6. Ochranné známky ==

Jakkoli máte značnou svobodu užívání obsahu projektů, je důležité, abychom ve Wikimedia Foundation chránili naše práva k ochranným známkám, abychom mohli chránit naše uživatele před  podvodníky. Kvůli tomu vás žádáme o respektování našich ochranných známek. Všechny ochranné známky nadace Wikimedia Foundation patří Wikimedia Foundation a libovolné užití našich obchodních jmen, známek, log či doménových jmen musí být v souladu s těmito Pravidly užití a našimi [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Pravidly pro ochranné známky]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Licencování obsahu ==

Aby se rozšířilo společné bohatství svobodných znalostí a svobodné kultury, musí všichni uživatelé přispívající do projektů nebo webových stránek projektu udělit široké veřejnosti široká oprávnění k volnému přerozdělování a opětovnému použití jejich příspěvků, pokud je toto použití správně přiřazeno a mají stejnou svobodu. opětovné použití a redistribuci je povoleno všem odvozeným dílům. V souladu s naším cílem poskytovat bezplatné informace co nejširšímu publiku požadujeme, aby v případě potřeby byl veškerý odeslaný obsah licencován tak, aby byl volně znovu použitelný kýmkoli, kdo k němu má přístup.

Souhlasíte s následujícími licenčními požadavky:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Text, na který jste držitelem autorských práv:''' Odesláním textu, na který jste držitelem autorských práv, souhlasíte s jeho licencováním podle:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Mezinárodní licence Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;) a
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (bez verze, bez invariantních sekcí, textů na přední straně obálky nebo textů na zadní straně obálky).

Opakovaní uživatelé mohou dodržovat buď licenci, nebo obě.&lt;br /&gt;
Jedinou výjimkou je, pokud edice projektu nebo funkce vyžaduje jinou licenci. V takovém případě souhlasíte s licencováním jakéhokoli textu, kterým přispíváte, v rámci konkrétní licence předepsané edicí projektu nebo funkcí.

Vezměte, prosím, na vědomí, že tyto licence umožňují komerční využití vašich příspěvků, pokud je takové použití v souladu s podmínkami příslušných licencí. Pokud vlastníte databázová práva Sui Generis, na která se vztahuje CC BY-SA 4.0, těchto práv se vzdáváte. Jako příklad to znamená, že fakta, kterými přispíváte do projektů, mohou být volně znovu použita bez uvedení zdroje.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Uvádění autora:''' Uvádění autora je důležitou částí těchto licencí. Chápeme je jako vyjádření uznání tomu, komu náleží – autorům, jako jste vy. Když přispějete nějakým textem, souhlasíte, že budete uváděni libovolným z následujících způsobů:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prostřednictvím hypertextového odkazu (tam, kde je to možné) nebo URL vedoucího na článek, do kterého jste přispěli (neboť každý článek má stránku historie, která vyjmenovává všechny přispěvatele, autory a editory);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prostřednictvím hypertextového odkazu (pokud je to možné) nebo URL na alternativní, stabilní online kopii, která je volně přístupná, odpovídá příslušné licenci a která poskytuje autorům pochvalu způsobem rovnocenným s uvedením na webové stránce projektu nebo&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostřednictvím seznamu všech autorů (ale uvědomte si, že ze seznamu autorů mohou být odfiltrovány velmi malé nebo nepodstatné příspěvky).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Import textu:''' Můžete importovat text, který jste našli jinde nebo který jste vytvořili spolu s ostatními, ale v takovém případě prohlašujete a zaručujete, že text je dostupný za podmínek, které jsou kompatibilní s CC BY- SA (nebo, jak je vysvětleno výše, jiná licence, pokud to edice nebo funkce projektu výjimečně vyžaduje). Seznam kompatibilních licencí naleznete v [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Nesmíte importovat obsah, který je dostupný výhradně pod GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Souhlasíte s tím, že pokud importujete text pod licencí CC, která vyžaduje uvedení autora, musíte rozumným způsobem uvést autora(y). Tam, kde se autoři běžně uvádějí prostřednictvím historie stránky (například kopírování uvnitř projektů Wikimedie), je dostatečné uvést autory ve shrnutí editace, které je při importu textu zaznamenáno v historii stránky. V některých případech z konkrétních důvodů jsou požadavky na uvedení autorství příliš rušivé (bez ohledu na licenci), a mohou tedy nastat situace, že se komunita Wikimedie rozhodne, že z toho důvodu nelze importovaný text použít.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Netextová média:''' Netextová média jsou na Projektech dostupná pod celou škálou různých licencí, které podporují obecný cíl umožnění neomezeného užití a šíření. Když příspíváte netextovými médii, souhlasíte s plněním požadavků těchto licencí, jak se uvádí v našich [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Pravidlech licencování]], a také s plněním požadavků konkrétních verzí Projektů, do kterých přispíváte. Více informací o přispívání netextových médií do projektu Wikimedia Commons najdete na stránce [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]].&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Neodvolatelnost licence:''' S výjimkou situací řešených danou licencí souhlasíte, že jednostranně neodvoláte ani se nebudete snažit zneplatnit žádnou licenci, kterou jste na základě těchto Podmínek užití poskytli textovému obsahu či netextovým médiím vloženým do projektů, i pokud přestanete využívat naše služby.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Obsah, který je volným dílem:''' Obsah, který je volným dílem, je vítán. Je ale důležité, abyste se ujistili o tom, že je tento obsah volným dílem podle zákonů Spojených států amerických i podle zákonů dalších zemí, u kterých se to vyžaduje na konkrétní verzi Projektu. Když přispíváte obsah, který je volným dílem, zaručujete se, že tento obsah je opravdu volný, a budete ho tak označovat.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Opětovné použití:''' Opětovné použití obsahu, který hostujeme, je vítáno, ačkoli existují výjimky pro obsah přidaný v rámci &quot;fair use&quot; (dovolené používání) nebo podobných výjimek podle platného autorského zákona. Jakékoli opětovné použití musí být v souladu se základní licencí (licencemi).&lt;br /&gt;

Když dále užíváte nebo šíříte textovou stránku vytvořenou komunitou Wikimedie, souhlasíte, že budete uvádět autory libovolným z následujících způsobů:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prostřednictvím hypertextového odkazu (tam, kde je to možné) nebo URL vedoucího na stránku či stránky, které užíváte (neboť každá stránka má stránku historie, která vyjmenovává všechny přispěvatele, autory a editory);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostřednictvím hypertextového odkazu (tam, kde je to možné) nebo URL vedoucího na alternativní stabilní online kopii, která je volně dostupná, splňuje požadavky licence a uvádí autory způsobem ekvivalentním uvádění autorů na webové stránce Projektu nebo&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostřednictvím seznamu všech autorů (ale uvědomte si, že ze seznamu autorů mohou být odfiltrovány velmi malé nebo nepodstatné příspěvky).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Pokud byl textový obsah naimportován z jiného zdroje, je možné, že je tento obsah licencován pod slučitelnou licencí CC BY-SA, ale nikoli pod GFDL (jak se popisuje v části „Import textu“ výše). V takovém případě souhlasíte se splněním slučitelné licence CC BY-SA a nemáte možnost přelicencování pod GFDL. Pro určení licence, která se vztahuje na obsah, který chcete užít či šířit, byste měli prověřit patičku stránky, historii a diskusní stránku.

Navíc si uvědomte, že text pocházející z externích zdrojů a naimportovaný do Projektu může být pod licencí, která vyžaduje dodatečné uvádění autorství. Uživatelé souhlasí s viditelným uváděním těchto dodatečných požadavků. V závislosti na Projektu se mohou tyto požadavky zobrazovat např. šablonou či jiným upozorněním poukazujícím na to, že celý obsah či jeho část byly původně zveřejněny někde jinde. Tam, kde se objevují taková viditelná upozornění, by je další uživatelé měli zachovat.

U všech netextových médií souhlasíte s dodržováním jakékoli licence, pod kterou bylo dílo zpřístupněno (tu lze zjistit kliknutím na dílo a pohledem na sekci licencování na stránce s popisem nebo prohlédnutím příslušné stránky zdroje daného díla). Při užívání libovolného námi uchovávaného obsahu se zavazujete plnit odpovídající požadavky na uvádění autorství dané příslušnou licencí či licencemi.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Úpravy a rozšiřování užívaného materiálu:''' Pokud text, který jste získali z webu Projektu, upravujete nebo rozšiřujete, zavazujete se licencovat upravený nebo doplněný obsah pod licencí CC BY-SA 4.0 nebo novější (nebo, jak je vysvětleno výše, ve výjimečném případě, kdy je tak vyžadováno danou verzí Projektu, pod jinou licencí).&lt;br /&gt;

Při úpravách a rozšiřování jakýchkoli netextových médií, která jste získali z webu Projektu, se zavazujete licencovat upravený nebo doplněný obsah v souladu s jakoukoli licencí, pod kterou bylo dílo zpřístupněno.&lt;br /&gt;

Jak u textového obsahu, tak u netextových médií se zavazujete zřetelně uvést, že bylo původní dílo upraveno. Pokud užíváte textový obsah na wiki, postačuje uvedení poznámky v historii stránky, že jste v importovaném textu provedli změny. U každé kopie nebo upravené verze, kterou šíříte, se zavazujete uvádět poznámku o licenci, pod kterou je dílo uvolněno, spolu s hypertextovým odkazem nebo URL vedoucím na text licence, nebo přímo kopii licence.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation chce zajistit, aby obsah, který hostujeme, mohli znovu použít jiní uživatelé bez obav z odpovědnosti a aby neporušoval vlastnická práva ostatních. Abychom byli spravedliví vůči našim uživatelům i ostatním tvůrcům a držitelům autorských práv, naší zásadou je reagovat na oznámení o údajném porušení, která jsou v souladu s formálními náležitostmi zákona Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). V souladu se zákonem DMCA ukončíme za vhodných okolností uživatele a držitele účtů našeho systému a sítě, kteří opakovaně porušují naše projekty a služby.

Také si však uvědomujeme, že ne každá výzva k odstranění je platná či vydaná v dobré víře. V takových případech důrazně vyzýváme uživatele, aby podali odpor, pokud důvodně věří, že požadavek na odstranění podle DMCA je neplatný či nevhodný. Více informací o tom, co dělat v případě, že považujete výzvu podle DMCA za nesprávnou, najdete na webu [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Pokud jste vlastníkem obsahu, který je neoprávněně používán v jednom z Projektů bez vašeho svolení, můžete požádat o odstranění obsahu podáním oznámení podle zákona DMCA. Chcete-li takovou žádost podat, zašlete nám e-mail na adresu {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} nebo [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail našeho určeného agenta]].

Případně můžete podat žádost naší komunitě, která často řeší problémy s autorskými právy rychleji a efektivněji než proces předepsaný zákonem DMCA. V takovém případě můžete zveřejnit oznámení vysvětlující vaše obavy týkající se autorských práv. Neúplný a neautoritativní seznam relevantních procesů pro různá vydání Projektu naleznete na stránce [[:m:Copyright problems|Problémy s autorskými právy]]. Před podáním nároku DMCA máte také možnost poslat komunitě e-mail na {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

Jste výhradně odpovědní za své používání jakýchkoli webových stránek nebo zdrojů třetích stran. Přestože projekty a webové stránky projektu obsahují odkazy na webové stránky a zdroje třetích stran, nepodporujeme a neneseme odpovědnost za jejich dostupnost, přesnost nebo související obsah, produkty nebo služby (včetně, bez omezení, jakýchkoli virů nebo jiné deaktivační funkce), ani nemáme žádnou povinnost monitorovat takový obsah třetích stran.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Správa webových stránek ==

Primární roli ve vytváření a prosazování pravidel, která se vztahují na různé verze Projektů, má komunita. V nadaci Wikimedia Foundation do rozhodnutí komunity týkajících se pravidel a jejich prosazování zasahujeme jen zřídka.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Je možné nás upozornit na nezákonný obsah nebo obsah, který porušuje naše Podmínky použití (včetně všech zásad a dalších dokumentů zahrnutých odkazem) z jiných důvodů [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|naším přímým kontaktováním]]. Obvykle však můžete podat žádost přímo komunitě projektu: Může to být efektivnější a je to v souladu s cílem našich projektů posílit komunitu uživatelů.
&lt;/div&gt;


Každý projekt obvykle poskytuje stránky &quot;Nápověda&quot; nebo &quot;Kontakt&quot; pro další pokyny nebo specifické nástroje pro hlášení problémů. Případně – máte-li pochybnosti – můžete požádat členy komunity o pomoc zasláním e-mailu na adresu {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} nebo na jinou jazykovou adresu z [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|stránky dobrovolnického týmu]]. Vezměte prosím na vědomí, že tyto schránky sledují uživatelé Projektů, nikoli Nadace. V důsledku toho by jim nemělo být vyhrožováno nebo by jim neměly být ukládány právní požadavky.

Pokud se na Nadaci obrátíte s problémem, obvykle prozkoumáme, zda a jak jej mohou stávající mechanismy vedené komunitou prošetřit a případně vyřešit.

V neobvyklém případě může nastat potřeba, nebo nás může komunita požádat, abychom oslovili zvláště problematického uživatele nebo zvláště problematický obsah z důvodu významného narušení Projektu nebo nebezpečného chování. V takových případech si vyhrazujeme právo na základě vlastního uvážení (nebo pokud je to zákonně vynuceno):

* Prozkoumat vaše používání Projektů nebo našich služeb (a) a zjistit, zda nedošlo k porušení těchto Podmínek použití, zásad vydání Projektu nebo jiného platného zákona nebo zásad, nebo (b) zda byl dodržen jakýkoli platný zákon, právní proces nebo příslušný vládní požadavek;
* Zjišťovat, předcházet nebo jinak řešit podvody, nepravdivé nebo neověřitelné informace, bezpečnostní nebo technické problémy nebo reagovat na požadavky uživatelské podpory;
* Odmítnout, vrátit, zakázat nebo omezit přístup k příspěvkům jakéhokoli uživatele, který porušuje tyto Podmínky použití;
* Zakázat uživateli upravovat nebo přispívat nebo zablokovat uživatelský účet nebo přístup pro akce porušující tyto Podmínky použití, včetně opakovaného zveřejňování nezákonného materiálu podle platných zákonů v souladu se zásadami lidských práv;
* Podniknout právní kroky proti uživatelům, kteří porušují tyto Podmínky použití (včetně hlášení orgánům činným v trestním řízení); a
* Jak spravujte webové stránky projektu způsobem navrženým tak, aby jste usnadnil jejich správné fungování a chránil práva, majetek a bezpečnost nás i našich uživatelů, poskytovatelů licencí, partnerů a veřejnosti.

Tyto moderovací aktivity nadace mohou být informovány nebo prováděny softwarem (jako je ochrana proti dopravní záplavě (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;)). V těchto případech je běžně dostupná kontrola člověkem, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na vyžádání]].

V zájmu našich uživatelů a Projektů je v krajním případě, kdy byl každému jednotlivci zablokován účet nebo přístup podle tohoto oddílu, zakázáno vytvářet nebo používat jiný účet na stejném Projektu nebo usilovat o přístup ke stejnému Projektu, pokud výslovně neposkytneme povolení. Bez omezení pravomocí komunity Nadace sama nezakáže uživateli upravovat nebo přispívat nebo blokovat uživatelský účet nebo přístup pouze z důvodu kritiky v dobré víře, která nevede k jednání jinak porušujícímu tyto Podmínky použití nebo zásady komunity.

Komunita Wikimedie a její členové také mohou přijmout opatření v případech umožněných komunitou nebo pravidly nadace použitelnými na příslušnou verzi Projektu, včetně (ale bez omezení na) upozornění, prošetření, blokování nebo zákazu editace vůči uživatelům porušujícím tato pravidla. Zavazujete se plnit konečná rozhodnutí orgánů pro řešení sporů vytvořených komunitami jednotlivých verzí Projektů (např. arbitrážních výborů); tato rozhodnutí mohou zahrnovat sankce zavedené pravidly příslušné verze Projektu.

Zvláště problematičtí uživatelé, kterým byly účty nebo přístup zablokovány na několika verzích Projektů, mohou být vyloučeni ze všech verzí Projektů v souladu s [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Pravidly globálního blokování]]. Na rozdíl od rozhodnutí Správní rady nebo těchto Pravidel užití mohou být pravidla vytvořená komunitou, která mohou pokrývat jednu verzi Projektu nebo několik verzí Projektů (jako Pravidla globálního blokování), upravena příslušnou komunitou podle jejích vlastních postupů.

Blokování uživatelského účtu nebo přístupu nebo vyloučení uživatele podle tohoto ustanovení by mělo být v souladu s částí 13 těchto Podmínek užití.

Pokud se domníváte, že jsme uspokojivě nereagovali na nahlášení problematického obsahu, nebo pokud jste byli vystaveni moderační akci nadace, kterou chcete napadnout, můžete [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|podat odvolání]]. Další informace o způsobech odvolání vám mohou být také vysvětleny v daném okamžiku nebo na stránkách nápovědy pro konkrétní projekt.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vyhrazujeme si právo pozastavit (dočasně nebo trvale) vyřizování zpráv nebo jiné korespondence od uživatelů nebo třetích stran, ať už se jedná o údajně nezákonný nebo jinak problematický obsah nebo chování, nebo požadovat odvolání proti moderačním akcím, pokud byla taková korespondence podána ve špatném víry, opakující se, nepodložené a/nebo urážlivé. Za vhodných okolností může být vaše e-mailová adresa v našem e-mailovém systému (systémech) dokonce zablokována a budete nás muset kontaktovat [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na naší poštovní adrese]], pokud si s námi během tohoto blokování budete chtít dále dopisovat. U méně závažných případů (např. až tři zdvořilé e-maily o jedné nebo více neopodstatněných stížnostech) to bude pravděpodobně dočasné. Častější nebo urážlivější komunikace s větší pravděpodobností povede k trvalým opatřením.

== 13. Ukončení ==

I když doufáme, že zůstanete a budete i nadále přispívat do projektů, můžete naše služby kdykoli přestat používat. Za určitých (doufejme nepravděpodobných) okolností může být nutné, abychom my nebo komunita Wikimedie nebo její členové (jak je popsáno v části 10), ukončit část nebo všechny naše služby, ukončit tyto Podmínky použití, zablokovat váš účet nebo přístup nebo zakázat vás jako uživatele. Pokud je váš účet nebo přístup z jakéhokoli důvodu zablokován nebo jinak ukončen, vaše veřejné příspěvky a záznamy o vašich aktivitách na projektech nebo v souvislosti s nimi (včetně jakékoli korespondence, kterou jste nám zaslali) nebudou ovlivněny (v souladu s platnými zásadami) a stále můžete přistupovat k našim veřejným stránkám výhradně za účelem čtení veřejně dostupného obsahu na projektech. Za takových okolností však možná nebudete mít přístup ke svému účtu nebo nastavení. Bez ohledu na jakékoli jiné ustanovení těchto Podmínek použití si však vyhrazujeme právo pozastavit nebo ukončit služby kdykoli, s důvodem nebo bez důvodu, a s upozorněním nebo bez něj. I poté, co bude vaše používání a účast zakázána, zablokována nebo jinak pozastavena, zůstanou tyto Podmínky použití platné s ohledem na příslušná ustanovení, včetně sekcí 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 a 18.

Pokud na nás hodláte podat žalobu, souhlasíte, že ji podáte a budete ji řešit výlučně prostřednictvím státního nebo federálního soudu sídlícího v kalifornském okrese San Francisco. Souhlasíte také, že tyto Podmínky užití, jako i libovolné právní spory, které mohou mezi námi a vámi vzniknout, se řídí zákony státu Kalifornie a, v použitelné míře, zákony Spojených států amerických (bez ohledu na principy mezinárodního práva soukromého).

Pro zajištění toho, že se spory vyřeší nedlouho poté, co vzniknou, souhlasíte s tím, že bez ohledu na jakákoli odlišná zákonná ustanovení vznesete veškeré nároky a požadavky, které mohly vzniknout kvůli nebo v souvislosti s použitím našich služeb nebo s těmito Podmínkami užití, v průběhu použitelné promlčecí doby a do jednoho (1) roku od chvíle, co mohly být rozumným úsilím zjištěny relevantní informace umožňující tyto nároky nebo požadavky (jinak budou navždy vyloučeny).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Jak je popsáno v části 4 těchto Podmínek použití, souhlasíte s tím, že budete porušení placených příspěvků řešit bez zveřejnění v rámci zprostředkování marketingové společnosti podle uvážení nadace. Mediace marketingové společnosti jsou '''závazné''' mediace, kdy na konci půldenního nebo celodenního sezení o sporných otázkách, které zůstanou nevyřešeny, rozhodne mediátor v právně závazném rozhodnutí. Budou vedeny na schůzkách prostřednictvím telekonference nebo videokonference. Pokud je vyžadována osobní schůzka, pak se zprostředkování marketingové společnosti uskuteční v San Francisco County v Kalifornii. Strany si všechny poplatky a výdaje spojené se zprostředkováním/arbitráží rozdělí rovným dílem.

Souhlasíte, že v rámci zprostředkování marketingové společnosti budete spolupracovat s nadací, a to i tím, že včas poskytnete veškerou dokumentaci ve vašem vlastnictví týkající se vašich nezveřejněných placených editačních činností, včetně použitých účtů, dotčených článků a klientů, kteří si takové služby zakoupili.

Mediace marketingové společnosti podléhají federálnímu zákonu o arbitráži a řídí se jím v rozsahu, v jakém se mediátor stává rozhodcem. Vítězná strana je oprávněna vymáhat poplatky za své právní zastoupení (včetně všech poplatků nezbytných k určení použitelnosti zprostředkování marketingové společnosti a vymáhání závazného výsledku) a všech nákladů souvisejících s vyšetřováním a prosazováním jejích práv. Strana může být považována za &quot;převažující&quot;, i když nebude úspěšná v každém uplatněném nároku.

Pokud se z nějakého důvodu ukáže, že jsou všechny tyto požadavky na zprostředkování marketingové společnosti nevymahatelné, souhlasíte s tím, že všechny spory vyřešíte tak, jak je popsáno na začátku této části.

== 17. Změny těchto Podmínek užití ==

Stejně jako je vstup komunity Wikimedia zásadní pro růst a údržbu Projektů, tak i věříme, že komunitní vstup je zásadní, aby tyto Podmínky užití mohly správně sloužit našim uživatelům. Je to zásadní i pro poctivou smlouvu. Proto tyto Podmínky užití, stejně jako i všechny budoucí podstatné úpravy těchto Podmínek užití, poskytujeme komunitě k okomentování nejméně třicet (30) dní před koncem připomínkového období. Pokud bude budoucí upravená verze zásadní, poskytneme dalších 30 dní ke komentářům po vystavení překladů navrhované verze do nejméně tří jazyků (vybraných dle našeho úsudku). Komunita bude vyzvána k přeložení navrhované verze do dalších jazyků dle potřeby. U změn týkajících se právních či úředních záležitostí, u oprav nepřesných výrazů nebo změn v důsledku komentářů komunity poskytneme období nejméně tří (3) dnů.

Protože může být čas od času nezbytné tyto Podmínky užití upravit, poskytneme k takovým změnám upozornění a příležitost k jejich okomentování prostřednictvím webů Projektů a e-mailu na [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Přesto vás žádáme, abyste si pravidelně prohlédli aktuální verzi těchto Podmínek užití. Pokud budete i nadále využívat naše služby poté, co nové Podmínky užití vejdou v účinnost po upozornění a připomínkovacího období, vyjadřujete tím své přijetí těchto Podmínek užití. Pro ochranu Wikimedia Foundation a dalších vám podobných uživatelů nemůžete naše služby používat, pokud s našimi Podmínkami užití nesouhlasíte.

== 18. Ostatní ustanovení ==

Tyto podmínky použití nevytvářejí mezi vámi a námi, Wikimedia Foundation, zaměstnanecký vztah, agenturu, partnerství, společnou kontrolu nebo společný podnik. Pro účely práva Evropského hospodářského prostoru, práva Spojeného království nebo jiných zákonů, které zahrnují podobný koncept, při používání služeb nejednáte &quot;pod pravomocí&quot; nadace. Pokud jste s námi nepodepsali samostatnou smlouvu, jsou tyto Podmínky použití úplnou dohodou mezi vámi a námi. Pokud dojde k jakémukoli rozporu mezi těmito Podmínkami použití a podepsanou písemnou dohodou mezi vámi a námi, bude rozhodovat podepsaná dohoda.

Souhlasíte s tím, že vám můžeme zasílat oznámení, včetně těch, která se týkají změn Podmínek použití, e-mailem, běžnou poštou nebo zveřejněním na projektech nebo webových stránkách projektu.

Pokud za jakýchkoli okolností nepoužijeme či nevynucujeme jakékoli ustanovení těchto Podmínek užití, nejedná se o zřeknutí se tohoto ustanovení.

Je vám zřejmé, že, pokud jsme se písemně nevyjádřili jinak, nemůžete očekávat žádnou kompenzaci za jakékoli aktivity, příspěvky nebo nápady, které poskytnete nám, komunitě nebo projektům či verzím projektů.

Bez ohledu na jakékoli jiné ujednání v těchto Podmínkách užití se my (Wikimedia Foundation) i vy zavazujeme neměnit použitelná ustanovení a požadavky jakékoli svobodné licence, která se používá na Projektech a jejich verzích, pokud tyto Podmínky užití tuto svobodnou licenci dovolují.

Tyto Podmínky užití byly sepsány v (americké) angličtině. Jakkoli věříme, že překlady těchto Podmínek užití jsou přesné, v případě jakéhokoli významového rozdílu mezi původní anglickou verzí a překladem má přednost původní anglická verze.

Pokud je jakékoli ustanovení nebo jeho část v těchto Podmínkách užití shledáno nezákonné, neplatné či nevynutitelné, toto ustanovení nebo jeho část se považuje za oddělitelné od těchto Podmínek užití a bude vynucováno v maximální možné míře a všechna ostatní ustanovení těchto Podmínek užití zůstanou plně platná a účinná.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Представете си свят, в който всеки отделен човек може свободно да споделя цялото човешко познание. На това сме се посветили.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Нашата визия]]

Добре дошли в Уикимедия! Фондация Уикимедия (''Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.'') („ние“ или „нас“ или „Фондацията“) е неправителствена благотворителна организация със седалище в Сан Франциско, Калифорния, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|чиято мисия]] е да даде възможност на всички желаещи по цял ​​свят да събират и развиват съдържание  [[{{lwp|Free content}}|под свободен лиценз]] или като обществено достояние, както и да го разпространяват ефективно, глобално и напълно безплатно.

За да подкрепим нашата дейна общност, ние осигуряваме основната необходима инфраструктура, както и организационната рамка за развитието на многоезични уикипроекти и тяхното редактиране (както е обяснено на [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (наричани по-нататък &quot;Проекти&quot;) и други начинания, които служат на тази мисия. Ние се стремим образователното и информационно съдържание от проектите ни да бъде достъпно в интернет абсолютно безплатно и то за вечни времена.

Приветстваме Ви („Вас“ или „потребителя“) да се включите като читател или допринасящ към Проектите на Уикимедия и Ви насърчаваме да станете част от общността на Уикимедия. Но преди да започнете, моля прочетете и приемете следните „Условия за ползване“.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Настоящите Условия за ползване целят да Ви информират за обществените услуги на Фондация Уикимедия, за отношенията ни с вас като потребител, както и за правата и отговорностите на двете страни. Ние поддържаме невероятно количество образователно и информационно съдържание, което е допринесено от потребители като Вас. Най-общо казано, ние не допринасяме с, не наблюдаваме и не изтриваме приноси (с редки изключения, свързани с политиката ни, като например настоящите Условия за ползване или по юридически причини или когато има риск от сериозни вреди). Това означава, че редакторският контрол е във Вашите ръце и в ръцете на всички потребители като Вас, които създават и управляват съдържанието. Ние само съхраняваме това съдържание.

Общността — мрежата от потребители, които постоянно изграждат и използват различните проекти и техните уебсайтове (наричани по-нататък Проекти и &quot;уебсайтове на Проектите&quot;) — е основното средство за постигане на целите на мисията ни. Общността допринася към сайтовете ни и помага в управлението им. Общността се ангажира с отговорната задача да създава и прилага правила за специфичните Проекти (като например различните езикови варианти на проект Уикипедия или многоезичният вариант на Общомедия).

Вие, потребителят, сте добре дошли да се включите като сътрудник, редактор или автор, но трябва да спазвате правилата, възприети при редактирането на всеки независим Проект, включително  [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), които важат за всички Проекти. Най-големият проект е Уикипедия, но имаме и други проекти, всеки с различни цели и методи на работа. Всеки проект има свой екип от сътрудници, редактори и автори, които работят съвместно, за да създават и управляват съдържанието на съответната версия. Приканваме Ви да станете част от този екип и да сътрудничите за подобряването на проектите. Тъй като сме се посветили на създаването на свободно достъпно публично съдържание, ние най-общо се стремим всички приноси да са под свободен лиценз или да бъдат обществено достояние.

Моля имайте предвид, че Вие носите юридическата отговорност за всички свои приноси, редакции и за повторното използване на съдържанието на Уикимедия съгласно законите на Съединените американски щати и другите приложими закони (което може да включва законите на страната, в която живеете или в която се намира обектът на приноса Ви). Това означава, че е важно да внимавате при публикуването, промяната или повторното използване на съдържание. В контекста на тази отговорност има правила за това какво не Ви е разрешено да публикувате, като повечето от тях касаят Вашата собствена защита или защитата на други потребители като Вас. Не забравяйте, че съдържанието, което съхраняваме, е само с цел обща информация, така че ако се нуждаете от експертен съвет (като например по въпроси в областта на медицината, правото или финансите), трябва да потърсите съдействие от съответен професионалист. Имаме и други важни съобщения и уговорки, така че моля прочетете до края тези Условия за ползване.

За да има пълна яснота трябва да се отбележи, че други организации, като например [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|местните организации на Уикимедия (сдружения)]], както и други асоциации, които евентуално споделят нашата мисия, са юридически независими и отделни от Фондация Уикимедия. Ако от страна на Фондацията не е указано друго на конкретния уебсайт на Проекта, тези други организации не носят отговорност за дейността или съдържанието на уебсайтовете на Проектите.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Нашите услуги==

Фондация Уикимедия е решена да насърчава увеличаването, подобряването и разпространяването на свободно многоезично съдържание, както и да съхранява (хоства) безплатно пълното съдържание на уики-базираните Проекти за публично ползване. Нашата роля е да поддържаме онлайн някои от най-големите съвместно редактирани справочни проекти в света, които могат да бъдат открити [//www.wikimedia.org тук]. Ние обаче предоставяме само хостинг услугата, като поддържаме инфраструктурата и организационната рамка. Тази инфраструктура и организационна рамка позволяват на нашите потребители да изграждат Проектите на Уикимедия, да допринасят със свои материали и да редактират съдържание. Те също позволяват на нашите потребители да използват съдържанието на Проектите повторно. Поддържаната от нас инфраструктура включва специализиран технологичен софтуер (наричан &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; или &quot;API&quot;), позволяващ на потребителите  да взаимодействат с Проектите и да използват повторно съдържанието им, както  и мобилни приложения.

В тези Условия за ползване нашите услуги се състоят от: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], технологичната инфраструктура, която поддържаме, както и всички технически пространства, които хостваме с оглед поддръжката и усъвършенстването на нашите Проекти

Поради нашата уникална роля следва да имате предвид няколко неща, когато разглеждате отношенията между нас и Вас, Проектите и останалите потребители:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Ние не влизаме в ролята на редактори:''' Тъй като проектите на Уикимедия се редактират съвместно, повечето от поддържаното съдържание се предоставя от потребители като Вас, а ние не сме редактори. Това означава, че ние по принцип не наблюдаваме и не редактираме съдържанието в уебсайтовете на Проектите и не носим никаква отговорност за него. Също така, освен ако не е заявено изрично, не даваме одобрение за никакви становища, изразени с помощта на нашите услуги и не представляваме никоя страна, нито пък гарантираме верността, точността или надеждността на цялото съдържание, предоставено от общността за Проектите.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Вие носите отговорност за своите действия:''' Вие сте юридически отговорни за своите редакции и приноси към Проектите на Уикимедия, за повторното използване на съдържанието, за използването на APIs и най-общо за ползването на услугите. За ваша собствена сигурност, трябва да бъдете внимателни и да се въздържате от всякакви действия, за които да бъдете подведени под наказателна или гражданска отговорност съгласно приложимото законодателство. За по-голяма яснота, „приложимото законодателство“ включва най-малко законите на Съединените американски щати и на щат Калифорния. За други страни се взема предвид всеки отделен случай. Въпреки че може и да не сме съгласни с такива действия, предупреждаваме потребителите, особено авторите и редакторите, че властите в различните страни може да се опитат да приложат други държавни закони спрямо тях, в това число местните закони в страната, в която живеят или в която разглеждат или редактират съдържание. В такива случаи ние не можем да предложим никаква защита, гаранции, имунитет или компенсации срещу прилагането на такива закони.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Политика на поверителност==

Съветваме Ви да прегледате условията на нашата [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Декларация за поверителност]], за да сте наясно как събираме и използваме Вашите лични данни.

==3. Съдържание, което поддържаме==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Възможно е наличието на материали със спорно съдържание или с грешки:''' Тъй като хостваме доста обширно съдържание, което се създава или събира от различни потребители, може да се натъкнете на материали, които да сметнете за обидни, неверни, подвеждащи, неточно обозначени или спорни в някакъв друг смисъл. Ето защо ние Ви молим да прилагате здрав разум и надлежна преценка винаги, когато използвате нашите услуги.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Съдържанието на Проектите е само с обща информационна цел:''' Въпреки че Проектите поддържат голям обем информация, която се отнася и до специализирани теми, включително медицински, правни или финансови, това съдържание се предоставя само с обща информационна цел. То не бива да се приема като професионално мнение. Потърсете независима професионална консултация от лицензирани и квалифицирани лица в съответната област, вместо да действате според информация, мнение или съвет, съдържащи се в някой от уебсайтовете на Проектите.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Въздържане от определени действия==

Проектите, поддържани от Фондация Уикимедия, съществуват единствено в резултат на действията на активната и жизнена общност от потребителите като Вас, които заедно пишат, редактират и организират съдържанието. Ние с радост приветстваме Вашето участие в тази общност. Приканваме Ви да бъдете любезни и учтиви във взаимоотношенията си с другите членове на общността, да действате добросъвестно и да правите редакции и приноси, насочени към по-нататъшното осъществяване на мисията на колективния проект. Молим всички потребители да прочетат и спазват Универсалните правила за поведение [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), в които са изложни изискванията за колегиално, цивилизовано сътрудничество във всички хоствани от нас Проекти.

Определени дейности, законни или не според приложимото право, може да нанесат вреда на други потребители и да нарушат нашите правила, а освен това, заради извършването на някои видове дейности Вие може да бъдете подведени под отговорност. Ето защо, за Ваша собствена сигурност и за тази на останалите потребители, Вие нямате право да вземате участие в подобни дейности на нашите Проекти или да ги ползвате по друг начин. Тези дейности включват:

:'''Тормоз и обиждане на другите потребители'''
::* Предприемане на заплахи, преследване, изпращане на спам или вандализъм, упражняване на тормоз,според дефинираното в UCoC;

&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Участие във фалшиви изказвания, представяне с фалшива самоличност или измама'''

::* Участие в автоматизирано използване на уебсайтовете на Проектите, което представлява злоупотреба или е с разрушителен ефект спрямо услугите, нарушава политиките за ползване, или не е одобрено от общността на Уикимедия;

:'''Платени приноси без разкриване'''

::Трябва да разкриете всеки работодател, клиент или облагодетелстван индивид по отношение на всеки принос, за който получавате или очаквате да получите възнаграждение. Това разкриване трябва да стане поне по един от следните начини:
:::* Изявление на потребителската Ви страница,
:::* Изявление на беседата на страницата по отношение на всеки платен принос или
:::* Изявление в резюмето по отношение на всеки платен принос
::* В допълнение, ако правите публични изявления извън Проектите (услуга на трета страна) с цел реклама на услуги за редактиране в Уикипедия срещу компенсация от всякакъв вид, трябва да разкриете във въпросното публично изявление на трета страна всички потребителски сметки, които ползвате или ще ползвате в Уикипедия за тези услуги.
::Приложимото законодателство или приетите в съответния Проект политики и насоки, като например касаещите конфликта на интереси, могат допълнително да ограничат платените приноси или да изискват по-подробното им разкриване. Например нарушения са: нарушаването на търговските марки на Уикимедия, (дефинирани по-долу в раздел 6) за рекламиране на услуги за платено редактиране, премахването на уведомления за платени приноси от по-стари редакции, или редактиране без вписване в сметката по начин, който прави практически невъзможно разкриването на платени приноси.
::Общността на всеки Проект може да приеме алтернативна политика за разкриване на платените приноси. Вие трябва да спазвате нея вместо изложеното в този раздел (озаглавен &quot;Платени приноси без разкриване&quot;), когато допринасяте към дадения Проект.

:: За допълнителна информация моля прочетете нашите [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|ЧЗВ за разкриване на платени приноси]].


Неразкриването на платени приноси от потребители, получаващи компенсация, създава несправедливо натоварване върху доброволците редактори, [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|които трябва да разследват и налагат общностните политики]]. Затова за нарушения на разпоредбите в този раздел, свързани с неразкрити платени приноси, Вие се съгласявате да се подчините на обвързващите решения на процедурата &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (&quot;Медиация за маркетингова компания&quot;), изложени в раздел 14 на тези Условия за ползване.

Запазваме си правото да упражним преценка при прилагането на изложените разпоредби в раздел 4 от тези Условия за ползване. Когато е необходимо, прилагането на тези Условия може да включва действия извън изложеното в [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]] на Фондация Уикимедия. При настъпване на нови обстоятелства ще положим усилия в рамките най-много на една година да актуализираме Office Action Policy, за да отрази новите действия.

Въпреки че разполагате със значителна свобода за повторно използване на съдържанието на уебсайтовете на нашите проекти, важно е да се отбележи, че ние, Фондация Уикимедия, държим правата върху търговските си марки, за да можем да защитим нашите потребители от измамни имитации. Във връзка с това ви умоляваме да зачитате нашите търговски марки. Всички търговски марки на Фондация Уикимедия принадлежат на Фондация Уикимедия (Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.) и съответно всяко използване на нашите търговски имена, търговски марки, марки за услуги, лога или имена на домейни трябва да бъде в съответствие с настоящите Условия за ползване, както и с нашата [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Политика за търговските марки]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Лицензиране на съдържанието ==

За увеличаване на обема на свободното знание и за развитие на свободната култура всички потребители, които допринасят за Проектите или техните уебсайтове, трябва да предоставят на широката общественост пълни права за свободно повторно разпространение и повторно използване на своите приноси, доколкото това използване е прецизно приписано на автора, както и да предоставите същата свобода за повторна употреба и повторно разпространение за всички производни произведения. В съответствие с нашата цел за предоставяне на безплатна информация на възможно най-широка публика, ние изискваме, когато е необходимо, цялото предоставено съдържание да бъде лицензирано, така че да е свободно за многократна употреба от всеки, който може да получи достъп до него.

Вие се съгласявате със следните изисквания за лицензиране:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Текст, чиито авторски права Ви принадлежат:''' Когато предоставяте текст, чиито авторски права Ви принадлежат, Вие се съгласявате да го лицензирате под:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Лиценза Криейтив Комънс Признание-Споделяне на споделеното 4.0 Международен лиценз] (“CC BY-SA 4.0”), и
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html Лиценза за свободна документация на ГНУ] („GFDL“) (без номера на версии, без неизменяеми раздели, без помествани на първа и последна обложка текстове).

Повторно използващите съдържание потребители могат да изберат кой от двата лиценза да използват (или и двата).&lt;br /&gt;
Изключение се прави единствено когато версията на даден Проект или функционален модул изисква различен лиценз. В такива случаи Вие се съгласявате да лицензирате допринесения от Вас текст конкретно под предписания от Проекта лиценз.

Имайте предвид, че тези лицензи позволяват търговска употреба на Вашите приноси, стига тази употреба да отговаря на условията на съответните лицензи. Когато притежавате Sui Generis Database Rights под условията на CC BY-SA 4.0, Вие се отказвате от тях. Например, това означава, че когато допринасяте с факти към Проектите, те могат да бъдат използвани повторно свободно без позоваване.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Позоваване:''' Позоваването (указването на автора и източника) е важна част от тези лицензи. Ние считаме, че по този начин отдаваме дължимото на автори като Вас в случаите, когато това е необходимо. Когато допринасяте със свой текст, Вие се съгласявате той да бъде позован по един от следните начини:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Чрез хипервръзка (където е възможно) или URL към статията, към която сте допринесли (тъй като всяка статия има страница с история, на която са показани всички допринасящи, автори и редактори);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Чрез хипервръзка (където е възможно) или URL към алтернативно, стабилно онлайн копие със свободен достъп, което отговаря на съответния лиценз и което дава информация за авторите по начин, аналогичен на начина, по който се представят на уебсайта на Проекта; или&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Чрез списък на всички автори (но трябва да се има предвид, че всеки списък на автори може да се филтрира с оглед изключване на твърде малки или неуместни приноси).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Внасяне на текст:''' Можете да внесете текст, който сте открили от друг източник или сте написали съвместно с други лица, само ако той е достъпен при условия, съвместими с тези на лиценза CC-BY-SA (или, както е разяснено по-горе, с друг лиценз, когато по изключение това се изисква от версията или характеристиката на даден проект). За списък на съвместимите лицензи вижте [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Не можете да внасяте съдържание, което е достъпно само и единствено под GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Вие се съгласявате, че ако внасяте текст под лиценза CC, при който е необходимо да се укаже авторството (т.нар. „позоваване“), то сте длъжни да укажете автора/ите по разумен начин. Ако такова позоваване обичайно се представя като връзка в историята на редакциите на страницата (като например при копиране вътре в Уикимедия), то при внасяне на текст е достатъчно да се укаже такава връзка в резюмето, което е налично в историята с редакциите на страницата. Изискванията към формата на позоваване понякога може да се окажат твърде силни (независимо от лиценза) и са възможни ситуации, в които общността на Уикимедия да реши, че внесеният текст не може да бъде използван по тази причина.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Нетекстова информация:''' Нетекстовите информационни материали в проектите на Фондация Уикимедия са достъпни под различни лицензи, които съответстват на общите цели за осигуряване на неограничено повторно използване и разпространение. Ако Вие допринесете с обекти нетекстова информация, Вие се съгласявате да спазвате изискванията на лицензите им, в съответствие с нашите [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Правила за лицензиране]] (на руски), а също и в съответствие с изискванията на конкретната версия на някой от нашите проекти или функционални модули, в чиито рамки правите своя принос. Вижте също [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|правилата за лицензиране на Общомедия (Wikimedia Commons)]] (на английски) за по-детайлна информация относно приноси на нетекстови информационни материали в Общомедия.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Неотменимост на лиценза:''' Вие потвърждавате, че нямате намерение едностранно да отменяте или обявявате за недействителен лиценз, който сте приели в съответствие с настоящите Условия за ползване за текстови или нетекстови информационни материали, допринесени в Проектите или функционалните модули на Уикимедия, с изключение на предвидените в този лиценз случаи, дори ако сте престанали да използвате нашите услуги.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Съдържание - публично достояние:''' Приветстваме всяко съдържание, което е обществено достояние. Важно е обаче да се уверите, че статусът &quot;публично достояние на съдържанието&quot; съответства на законодателството на Съединените американски щати, както и на законите в другите страни според изискванията на конкретния проект и езикова версия. Когато допринасяте съдържание, което е публично достояние, Вие гарантирате, че съответният материал действително е такъв и се съгласявате да го обозначите по съответния начин.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Повторно използване:''' Приветстваме повторното използване на съдържание, въпреки че съществуват изключения – за съдържание, допринесено по смисъла на т.нар. „честна употреба“ (от англ. ''„fair use“'') или аналогични изключения по закона за приложимото авторско право. Всяко повторно използване трябва да е съобразено с належащия/ите лиценз/и.&lt;br /&gt;

Когато използвате повторно или разпространявате повторно текстова страница, разработена от общността на Уикимедия, Вие се съгласявате да упоменете авторите по някой от следните начини:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Чрез хипервръзка (където е възможно) или URL към страницата или страниците, които използвате повторно (тъй като всяка страница има страница с история, на която са изброени всички допринасящи, автори и редактори);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Чрез хипервръзка (където е възможно) или URL към алтернативно, стабилно онлайн копие със свободен достъп, което е в съответствие с лиценза и което дава информация за авторите по начин, аналогичен на начина, по който се представят на уебсайта на Проекта; или&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Чрез списък на всички автори (но трябва да се има предвид, че всеки списък на авторите може да бъде филтриран, за да се изключат твърде малки или неуместни приноси).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Ако текстовото съдържание е било внесено от друг източник, не е изключено то да е защитено с лиценз,  сходен с лиценза CC BY-SA, но не и с лиценза GFDL (както е описано по-горе в раздела „Внасяне на текст“). В този случай Вие се съгласявате да изпълните условията на сходния лиценз CC BY-SA и нямате право повторно да лицензирате информационни материали съгласно GFDL. За да определите кой лиценз действа по отношение на информационните материали, които желаете да използвате/разпространите повторно, е необходимо да прегледате долния колонтитул на страницата (т.нар. „footer“), историята на редакциите или беседата на статията.

Също така имайте предвид, че текст, чийто източник е външен ресурс и който е бил внесен в проект, може да бъде защитен с лиценз, предполагащ допълнителни изисквания за указване на авторство и позоваване на източника. Потребителите се съгласяват да се придържат стриктно към тези допълнителни изисквания за указване на авторството и източника. В зависимост от проекта, подобни изисквания могат да бъдат съобщавани например чрез банер или с други означения, указващи, че цялото или част от съдържанието на страницата първоначално е било публикувано другаде. Там, където са налице такива видими обозначения, потребителите са длъжни да ги запазят при следваща употреба на съдържанието.

При използване на нетекстова информация Вие се съгласявате да спазвате условията на приложимите лицензи, действащи по отношение на тези материали (тези условия могат да бъдат открити чрез щракване върху наименованието на произведението и преглеждане на раздела за действащите лицензи на страницата с описанието или чрез разглеждане на страницата с източника на произведението). При повторно използване на произволно съдържание от нашите проекти Вие се съгласявате да спазвате съответните условия за указване на авторството и източника съгласно условията на подлежащия лиценз/и.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Изменения или допълнения към материал, който използвате повторно:''' Когато променяте или правите допълнения по текст, който сте получили от уебсайт на проект, Вие се съгласявате да лицензирате измененото или добавено съдържание под лиценза CC BY-SA 3.0 или следваща версия (или, както е обяснено по-горе, друг лиценз, когато това се изисква изрично от даден проект).&lt;br /&gt;

При нанасяне на промени или допълнения в нетекстови материали, с които сте се сдобили от уебсайт на проект, Вие се съгласявате да лицензирате промененото или допълнено съдържание в съответствие с лиценза, под който е предоставено даденото произведение.&lt;br /&gt;

По отношение както на текстовите, така и на нетекстовите материали Вие се съгласявате да указвате ясно, че оригиналното произведение е било променено. Ако използвате повторно текстови материали в уики, достатъчно е да укажете в историята с промените на страницата, че сте нанесли промени по внесения текст. За всяко разпространявано от Вас копие или променена версия Вие се задължавате да включите лицензно уведомление заедно с URL адрес или хипервръзка към текста на лиценза или копие на самия лиценз.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Фондация Уикимедия се стреми да даде възможност на потребителите да използват повторно за свои цели публикуваните на уебсайтовете на проектите ни материали, без да се опасяват от носене на отговорност и без да нарушават правата на собственост на други лица. В интерес на нашите потребители, както и на останалите автори и притежатели на авторски права, нашата политика включва това да реагираме на съобщенията за предполагаеми нарушения в съответствие с процедурите на „Закона за защита на авторските права в цифровата епоха“ (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA). В съответствие с DMCA, ние ще блокираме, при подходящи обстоятелства, потребители и притежатели на сметки в нашите системи и мрежи, които са уличени в повторни нарушения на Проектите и услугите ни.

Но също така осъзнаваме, че не всяка молба за  блокиране трябва да се счита за достоверна и отправена добронамерено. В такива случаи настоятелно препоръчваме потребителите да изпращат контра молба, когато имат достатъчно основания да смятат, че искането за блокиране поради нарушение на DMCA е невалидно или неприложимо. За допълнителна информация как да постъпите, ако смятате, че известието за нарушение на нормите на DMCA е било подадено неправомерно, посетете уебсайта [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Ако притежавате съдържание, което се използва неправомерно в рамките на някой от Проектите без Ваше разрешение, Вие можете да поискате то да бъде премахнато в съответствие с нормите на DMCA след подаване на заявление. За тази цел пишете на ел. поща: {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} или се свържете [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|по обикновена поща с нашия упълномощен представител]].

От друга страна, можете да подадете заявление до нашата общност, която често пъти се справя по-бързо и по-ефективно с проблемите, свързани с авторските права, отколкото процедурата в DMCA. В този случай Вие можете да публикувате съобщение с описание на проблемите относно авторските права. За неизчерпателен списък на процедурите в различните Проекти [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Преди да подадете иск за нарушение на разпоредбите на DMCA, вие разполагате и с опцията да изпратите електронна поща до общността на следния адрес: {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

Въпреки че уебсайтовете на Проектите съдържат връзки към уебсайтове и ресурси на трети страни, ние не ги подкрепяме и не носим отговорност за тяхното наличие, точност или свързаните с тях съдържание, продукти или услуги (включително, без ограничение, наличие на вируси или други навреждащи функционалности), нито пък сме задължени да следим съдържанието на такива трети страни.

Общността има основна цел да създава и следи за спазването на политики, действащи по отношение на различните раздели на нашите проекти. Във Фондация Уикимедия ние рядко се намесваме в процесите на вземане на решения относно политиките и тяхното прилагане.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Възможно е да ни уведомите [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]] за незаконно съдържание или съдържание, което нарушава по друга причина Условията за ползване (включително всички правила и други документи, на които се позоваваме). Въпреки това, приетата практика е да  поставите въпроса директно пред общността на Проекта: това ще е по-ефективно и съответства по-добре на целта на нашите Проекти да овластяват потребителите.
&lt;/div&gt;


Всеки Проект има свои страници &quot;Помощ&quot; или &quot;Контакт&quot; за по-подробни указания, или специфични индтрументи за докладване на проблеми. Ако имате някакви съмнения, можете за помолите членовете на общността за помощ като изпратите електронна поща до {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} или до езиково-специфичен електронен адрес, посочен на [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Мола имайте предвид, че тези пощенски кутии се следят от потребителите на Проектите, а не от Фондацията. Следователно, към тях не трябва да се отправят юридически искания или пък заплахи.

Ако осъществите контакт с Фондацията по даден проблем, ние обикновено преценяваме дали и как съществуващите механизми на общността могат да го изяснят и, когато е възможно, да го решат.

В редки случаи може да възникне необходимост, или общността да поиска това, да решим проблем с особено проблематичен потребител или съдържание поради значително смущение на Проекта или опасно поведение. В такива случаи си запазваме правото по наша преценка (или когато законът го изисква) да:

* изследваме как използвате нашите Проекти и услуги, (а) за да определим дали е налице нарушение на настоящите Условия за ползване, правилата на конкретен раздел на Проект или други приложими закони или политики, или (б) да се съобразим с изискванията на действащото законодателство, съдебен процес или съответстващо правителствено нареждане;
* откриваме, предотвратяваме или предприемаме други мерки по отношение на измами, фалшива или непроверима информация, да разрешаваме проблеми, свързани с безопасността или с техническите въпроси, както и да отговаряме на искания на потребителите;
* връщаме приносите, отказваме достъп или ограничаваме достъпа на всеки потребител, нарушил настоящите Условия за ползване;
* Да забраним на потребителя да редактира или допринася или да блокираме неговата сметка или неговия достъп поради нарушаване на тези Условия за ползване, включително повторно публикуване на незаконни материали според приложимото право в съответствие с принципите за защита на човешките права;
* Да предприемем съдебни действия срещу потребители, нарушили тези Условия за ползване (включително да уведомим правоприлагащите органи); и
* Да действаме по друг начин на уебсайтовете на Проектите така, че да способстваме за правилното им функциониране и да защитим правата, имуществото и безопасността на нас и нашите потребители, лицензодатели, партньори и обществото.

Тези действия на Фондацията могат да бъдат осъществени чрез софтуер (например защита от (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;)). В тези случаи обикновено е налице и човешки надзор [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|при поискване]].

В интерес на нашите проекти, на участниците в тях и на потребителите, в крайни случаи, когато сметка или достъп на участник са били блокирани по силата на тази разпоредба, той или тя нямат права да създават или използват друга сметка или да получават достъп в същия проект, освен ако ние не дадем изричното си съгласие. Без да ограничава правомощията на общността, Фондация Уикимедия сама по себе си няма да забранява на участниците да редактират или да публикуват материали, а също и няма да блокира сметки на участници или техния достъп до проектите, единствено поради конструктивна критика, което не води до действия, които по някакъв друг начин нарушават настоящите Условия за ползване или правилата на общността.

Общността на Уикимедия и нейните членове могат също да предприемат мерки по отношение на потребители, нарушаващи тези правила, включително, но без да се ограничават до, предупреждение, разследване, блокиране или изключване на такива потребители, когато това е допустимо съгласно общността и правилата на Фондация Уикимедия, приложими в конкретната версия на проекта. Вие се съгласявате да се съобразявате с окончателните решения на органите, разрешаващи спорове. Такива органи (например, арбитражни комисии) се създават от общността в рамките на конкретна версия на проект и решенията им могат да включват санкции, постановени в правилата на конкретната версия на проект.

По отношение на особено проблемни потребители, чиито сметка или достъп са били блокирани едновременно в няколко раздела на наши проекти, може да бъде приложена забрана за редактиране и използване на други възможности за привилегирован достъп по отношение на всички проекти и техните раздели, в съответствие с [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Политиката за глобална забрана]].  За разлика от решенията на Съвета на попечителите или настоящите Условия за ползване, приетите от общността правила и политики, действащи в един или няколко раздела на наши проекти (като например, „Политиката за глобална забрана“), могат да бъдат изменени от съответната общност съгласно нейните собствени процедури.

Блокирането на сметка или достъп или налагането на забрана за достъп на потребител по силата на тази разпоредба се извършва в съответствие с раздел 13 от настоящите Условия за ползване.

Ако смятате, че сме действали незадоволително при докладвано проблемно съдържание, или ако сте станали обект на модериране от страна на Фондацията, което искате да оспорите, можете да [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|обжалвате]]. Още информация относно пътищата за обжалване може да получите на помощните страници на конкретния Проект.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Запазваме си правото да прекратим (временно или окончателно) обработката на уведомления или друга кореспонденция от потребители или трети страни, независимо дали се касае за твърдения за незаконно или проблематично съдържание или поведение, или за обжалване на модериращи решения, ако тази кореспонденция е недобросъвестна, повтаряща се, необоснована и/или обидна. При някои обстоятелства Вашият имейл адрес може да бъде блокиран от нашата система за електронна поща и тогава ще трябва да се обърнете към нас по пощата [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]], ако желаете да продължите комуникацията. За не толкова сериозни случаи (например до три учтиви имейла за едно или повече неоснователни оплаквания) е вероятно мярката да е временна. По-честите или по-неучтивите комуникации е по-вероятно да доведат до постоянна мярка.

==11. Решения на Фондация Уикимедия и правила на проектите==

Управителният съвет на Фондация Уикимедия периодично оповестява [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|официалните правила]]. Някои от тези правила могат да бъдат задължителни за конкретен проект или негова версия, а когато са определени като задължителни, Вие се съгласявате да се придържате към тях.

&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. API условия ==

Ние предоставяме набор от API, които включват документация и съответните инструменти, за да дадем възможност на потребителите да създават продукти за разпространение на свободно знание. Използвайки нашите  API, Вие се съгласявате да се подчинявате на всички приложими правила относно използването на тези API, сред които, но без ограничение [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]] и [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (заедно наричани, &quot;API документация&quot;), които са включени в настоящите Условия за ползване чрез препратка.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Прекратяване ==

Въпреки че се надяваме да продължите и занапред да допринасяте с материали към нашите проекти, Вие имате право във всеки един момент да откажете да използвате услугите ни. С оглед защитата на интересите на Фондация Уикимедия, на общността или на отделни участници (съгласно раздел 10) при някои обстоятелства (надяваме се, малко вероятни) може да се окаже необходимо спрямо Вас да бъде прекратено цялостно или частично предоставянето на достъп до услугите ни, преустановено действието на тези Условия за ползване, блокирана Вашите сметка или достъп, или пък да Ви бъде забранено участие като потребител. Ако Вашите сметка или достъп бъдат блокирани или ограничени по друг начин по каквато и да е причина, Вашите публични приноси (както и записите за дейността Ви по отношение на Проектите), включително цялата кореспонденция, която сте инициирали, ще останат обществено достъпни (съгласно приложимите правила) и, освен ако не Ви уведомим за противното, Вие все още ще можете да четете публично достъпните ни страници, но единствено с цел достъп до общодостъпното съдържание на проектите. При тези обстоятелства няма да имате достъп до Вашата сметка и лични настройки. Въпреки това, независимо от другите разпоредби в тези Условия за ползване, ние си запазваме правото да преустановим или прекратим предоставянето на услугите ни по всяко време със или без указване на причината за това, както и със или без предварително уведомление. Дори след забрана, блокиране или по друг начин прекратяване на Вашето участие, настоящите Условия за ползване си остават в сила по отношение на съответните разпоредби, в това число раздели 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 и 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Текстът е маркиран фоново, тъй като е от особено значение''

Надяваме се, че между нас няма да има сериозни разногласия, но в случай на възникване на спор, Ви приканваме да ги разрешим чрез съответните процедури или механизми за разрешаване на спорове, предвидени в нашите проекти, техните версии, и Фондация Уикимедия. Ако имате основание да внесете съдебен иск срещу нас, Вие се съгласявате да го подадете и разрешите изключително и само в щатски или федерален съд, разположен на територията на окръг Сан Франциско, щата Калифорния. Вие също така се съгласявате, че настоящите Условия за ползване, както и всички правни спорове, които могат да възникнат между нас, ще се решават и уреждат съгласно законите на щата Калифорния, и, когато е необходимо, съгласно законите на Съединените американски щати (без позоваване на принципа на конфликт на закони). Вие приемате юрисдикцията и сте съгласни с целесъобразността на съдилищата на територията на окръг Сан Франциско, щата Калифорния - в случай на правни действия или съдебни процедури, свързани с нас или с настоящите Условия за ползване.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
За да се гарантира разрешаването на спорове скоро след тяхното възникване, Вие се съгласявате, че, независимо от всички действащи законодателни актове или закони, постановяващи обратното, всеки Ваш иск или основание за действие, произтичащи от или  свързани с използването на нашите услуги или с настоящите Условия за ползване, трябва да бъде подаден (в зависимост от това, кое настъпи по-рано) в рамките на установения давностен срок за подаване на искове или в срок от 1 (една) година след като съответните факти, които са основание за подобен иск или претенция, биха могли да бъдат открити с необходимата прецизност (или съответно загубват давност).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Както е изложено в раздел 4 от тези Условия за ползване, Вие се съгласявате Фондацията по своя преценка да решава случаите с нарушения на правилата за платени приноси чрез процедурата по Медиация на маркетингови компании. Тази процедура представлява '''обвързваща медиация''', при която след сесия от половин или един ден всички неразрешени въпроси се решават от медиатора и неговото решение е правно обвързващо (задължително). Сесиите ще се провеждат дистанционно чрез телеконференции или видеоконференции. Ако е необходимо лично присъствие, Медиацията на маркетингови компании ще се проведе в Сан Франциско, Калифорния. Страните ще си поделят по равно всички разходи и такси, свързани с медиацията/арбитража.

Вие се съгласявате, в рамките на Медиацията на маркетингова компания, да сътрудничите с Фондацията, включително като предоставите своевременно всяка документация във Ваше притежание относно Вашите неразкрити платени приноси, включително използваните сметки, засегнатите статии и клиентите, закупили услугите.

Медиацията на маркетингова компания е обект на Federal Arbitration Act дотолкова, доколкото медиаторът става арбитратор. Спечелилата страна има право да възстанови разходите си за адвокатски хонорари (включително всички хонорари, необходими за определяне на допустимостта на арбитража на маркетинговата компания и за налагане на решението) и всички разходи по разследването и налагането на своите права. Страната може да бъде &quot;спечелила&quot; дори ако не е успешна по всички заявени искове.

Ако по някаква причина всички тези изисквания за Медиация на маркетингова компания се окажат неприложими, Вие се съгласявате да разрешавате всички спорове, както е описано в началото на този раздел.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Въпреки че Фондация Уикимедия прави всичко възможно да осигурява достъпни образователни и информационни материали за най-широка аудитория, Вие използвате нашите услуги изцяло на своя отговорност. Ние предоставяме тези услуги по принцип „както са“ (&quot;as is&quot;) и „както са достъпни“ (&quot;as available&quot;) и ние недвусмислено отказваме да даваме каквито и да било явни или подразбиращи се гаранции от всякакъв вид, включително, но без ограничение, подразбиращи се гаранции за състоянието на стоките, пригодност за конкретни цели и ненарушаване на авторски права. Ние не даваме никакви гаранции относно това, че нашите услуги ще съответстват на Вашите потребности, че ще бъдат безопасни, надеждни, непрекъснати, своевременни, точни и безпогрешни или че Вашата информация ще е защитена.

Ние не носим отговорност за съдържанието, данните или действията на трети лица, и Вие ни освобождавате – нас, нашите директори, длъжностни лица, сътрудници и посредници – от каквито и да било искове и щети, известни и неизвестни, възникнали от или по някакъв начин свързани с Ваши искове срещу трети лица. Никакви съвети или информация, получени от нас или посредством нашите услуги, или благодарение на тях, било то в устна или в писмена форма, не гарантират нищо, ако то не е точно и ясно заявено в настоящите Условия за ползване.

Изтеглянето на различни материали или получаването им по друг начин чрез ползването на нашите услуги се извършва по Ваша собствена преценка и на Ваш риск и единствено Вие ще сте отговорни в случай на повреда на компютърната Ви система или при загуба на данни вследствие на такова изтегляне на материали. Вие се съгласявате, че ние не носим никаква отговорност и нямаме правно задължение при изтриване или невъзможност да бъдат съхранени или прехвърлени каквито и да е материали или съобщения, поддържани от нашата услуга. Запазваме си правото по собствена преценка да създаваме ограничения за употребата и съхранението на информационни материали, по всяко време със или без уведомление.

В някои щати или юрисдикции не се допускат откази от отговорност като изложените в настоящия раздел, така че те може частично или изцяло да се окажат неприложими спрямо Вас, в зависимост от закона.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Фондация Уикимедия не носи отговорност пред Вас или други лица за каквито и да било преки, косвени, случайни, специални, последващи или назидателни щети, свързани с включително, но без ограничение: загуба на печалба, репутация, употреба, данни или други нематериални загуби, независимо от това дали сме били предупредени за възможността от такива щети. Нашата отговорност като цяло не може да надвишава при никакви обстоятелства хиляда щатски долара (USD 1000,00). В случай, че действащото законодателство не допуска ограничения или изключения на отговорността за случайни или косвени щети, горното ограничение или изключение може да не се отнася до Вас, въпреки че нашата отговорност ще бъде ограничена в максималната степен според приложимото законодателство.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Изменения на настоящите Условия за ползване ==

Също както приносите на общността на Уикимедия са изключително важни за развитието и поддържането на нашите проекти, ние считаме, че информираността и участието на общността са важни елементи и при формулиране на настоящите Условия за ползване с оглед те са в полза на участниците в нашите проекти. Това също е съществено за един „справедлив договор“ (''fair contract''). Следователно ние се задължаваме да предоставим на общността за обсъждане и коментири тези Условия за ползване (а също и всичките им бъдещи редакции) в най-малко 30 (тридесет) дневен срок. Ако се планират съществени изменения, ние ще предоставим допълнителни 30 дни за коментари след публикуването на превод на предложените изменения най-малко на три езика (избрани по наше усмотрение). На общността ще бъде предложено да преведе предлаганите изменения на други езици, ако това е необходимо. В случай на изменения по правни или административни причини, при необходимост от коригиране на неточни твърдения или нанасяне на корекции вследствие на направени коментари от общността, ние се задължаваме да направим уведомление най-малко от 3 (три) дни.

Тъй като от време на време може да възникне необходимост да се правят промени в настоящите Условия за ползване, ние ще уведомяваме за такива изменения и ще дадем възможност да направите своите коментари чрез уебсайтовете на нашите проекти, а също и чрез уведомление на [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Въпреки това, ние Ви молим да преглеждате периодично най-новата версия на тези Условия за ползване. Ако продължите да използвате нашите услуги, след като новите Условия за ползване влязат официално в сила след уведомлението и след изтичането на срока за прглед и приемане, това ще се разглежда като съгласие с настоящите Условия за ползване от Ваша страна. С оглед защитата на Фондация Уикимедия и на другите потребители като Вас, не ползвайте нашите услуги, ако не сте съгласни с нашите Условия за ползване.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Други условия ==

Настоящите Условия за ползване не създават отношения на заетост, представителство, партньорство, съвместен контрол или съвместно предприятие между Вас и нас, Фондация Уикимедия. За челите на законодателството на Европейската икономическа зона, законите на Обединеното кралство или други законодателства, включващи тази концепция, Вие не действате &quot;от името на Фондацията&quot;, когато използвате услугите. Ако не сте подписали отделно споразумение с нас, настоящите Условия за ползване представляват възможно най-изчерпателното споразумение между Вас и нас. Ако е налице противоречие между настоящите Условия за ползване и подписаното между Вас и нас писмено споразумение, предимство има писменото споразумение.

Вие се съгласявате, че ние можем да Ви изпращаме уведомления, в това число за приети изменения в Условията за ползване, посредством електронна поща, обикновена поща или чрез публикации на Проектите или уебстраниците на нашите Проекти.

Ако при някакви обстоятелства не приложим или не изпълним някоя разпоредба от настоящите Условия за ползване, това не означава отказ от тази разпоредба.

Вие осъзнавате, че, освен ако не е уговорено друго с нас в писмена форма, Вие не следва да очаквате, че ще получите възнаграждение за каквито и да било дейност, принос или идея, които Вие предоставяте на нас, на общността, както и на Проектите на Уикимедия или различните им версии.

Независимо от всички разпоредби за противното в настоящите Условия за ползване, ние (Фондация Уикимедия) заедно с Вас се ангажираме да не изменяме действащите условия и изисквания на който и да било свободен лиценз, който се използва в проектите или техните версии, когато използването на такъв свободен лиценз е разрешено според настоящите Условия за ползване.

Настоящите Условия за ползване са написани на английски език (американски). Макар да смятаме, че преводите на тези Условия за ползване са прецизни, в случай на евентуални разлики в смисъла между оригиналната версия на английски език и неин превод, предимство има оригиналната версия на английски език.

Ако бъде установено, че някоя разпоредба или част от разпоредба от настоящите Условия за ползване е незаконна, невалидна или неприложима, тази разпоредба или част от разпоредба се счита за делима от настоящите Условия за ползване и ще бъде реализирана в максимално допустимата степен, като всички останали разпоредби на настоящите Условия за ползване остават в пълна сила и действие.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Благодарим ви!==

Благодарим ви, че отделихте време да прочетете настоящите Условия за ползване и сме много доволни, че сътрудничите в нашите проекти и използвате услугите ни. Чрез вашите приноси помагате за изграждането на едно наистина голямо нещо – не само значителна колекция от колективно редактирани справочни проекти с образователна и информативна цел за милионите читатели, които при други обстоятелства навярно не биха имали достъп, но също така и активна общност от съмишленици и ангажирани членове, устремени към една много благородна цел.

It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

== 17. ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളിൽ വരുത്തുന്ന മാറ്റങ്ങൾ ==

പദ്ധതികളുടെ വളർച്ചയ്ക്കും പരിപാലനത്തിനും വിക്കിമീഡിയ സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ സേവനങ്ങളാവശ്യമായിരിക്കുന്നതു പോലെ തന്നെ, ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകൾ ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഉപയോക്താക്കൾക്ക് എത്തിക്കുന്നതിനും നിർമ്മിക്കുന്നതിനും സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ സഹായം അത്യന്താപേക്ഷമാണെന്ന് ഞങ്ങൾ കരുതുന്നു. ന്യായമായ ഉടമ്പടിപ്രകാരം നോക്കിയാലും അത് അത്യന്താപേക്ഷമാണ്. അതുകൊണ്ട്, ഞങ്ങൾ ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളും അതുപോലെ തന്നെ ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകൾക്ക് ഭാവിയിലുണ്ടാകാവുന്ന മാറ്റം വരുത്തിയ പതിപ്പുകളും, സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ മുന്നിൽ അഭിപ്രായ സമാഹരണത്തിനായി കുറഞ്ഞത് മുപ്പത് (30) ദിവസമെങ്കിലും വെക്കുന്നതാണ്. ഭാവിയിൽ മുന്നോട്ടു വെയ്ക്കുന്ന പതിപ്പ് അനിവാര്യമെങ്കിൽ, കുറഞ്ഞത് മൂന്ന് ഭാഷയിൽ (ഞങ്ങൾ തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുന്ന ക്രമത്തിൽ) അത് പരിഭാഷപ്പെടുത്തിയ ശേഷം വീണ്ടുമൊരു മുപ്പത് ദിവസം അഭിപ്രായ സമാഹരണത്തിനായി വെയ്ക്കുന്നതായിരിക്കും. അനുയോജ്യമായ വിധത്തിൽ മറ്റു ഭാഷകളിലേയ്ക്ക് പരിഭാഷപ്പെടുത്താൻ സമൂഹം തന്നെ മുൻകൈ എടുക്കണം  എന്ന് താത്പര്യപ്പെടുന്നു. നിയമപ്രകാരമോ, കാര്യനിർവാഹക സൗകര്യത്തിനായുള്ളതോ, കൃത്യമല്ലാത്ത ഒരു പ്രസ്താവന ശരിയാക്കാനുള്ളതിനോ അല്ലെങ്കിൽ സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ അഭിപ്രായമനുസരിച്ചുള്ളതോ ആയ മാറ്റങ്ങൾക്ക് മുമ്പ് ഞങ്ങൾ കുറഞ്ഞത് മൂന്നുദിവസത്തെ അറിയിപ്പ് നൽകുന്നതായിരിക്കും.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകൾ കാലാകാലങ്ങളിൽ പുതുക്കേണ്ടി വന്നേക്കാം, അപ്പോൾ ഞങ്ങൾ പുതുക്കലിന്റെ അറിയിപ്പുകളും അഭിപ്രായമറിയിക്കാനുള്ള അവസരങ്ങളും പദ്ധതി വെബ്സൈറ്റുകൾ വഴിയും [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]] മെയിലിങ് ലിസ്റ്റ് വഴിയും അറിയിക്കുന്നതാണ്. എന്നിരുന്നാലും, ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളുടെ ഏറ്റവും പുതിയ പതിപ്പ് ($2 ഇവിടെ ലഭ്യമാണ്) താങ്കൾ തന്നെ നിരന്തരം സംശോധനം ചെയ്ത് കണ്ടുപിടിക്കണം എന്ന് ഞങ്ങൾ ആവശ്യപ്പെടുന്നു. താങ്കൾ ഞങ്ങളുടെ സേവനങ്ങൾ തുടർന്നും ഉപയോഗിക്കുമ്പോൾ, പുതിയ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകൾ അറിയിപ്പുകൾക്കും സംശോധന കാലയളവിനും ശേഷം സ്വീകരിക്കപ്പെടുകയാണെങ്കിൽ, അത് താങ്കൾ സ്വീകരിക്കേണ്ടതാകുന്നു. വിക്കിമീഡിയ ഫൗണ്ടേഷന്റെയും താങ്കളെ പോലെയുള്ള മറ്റ് ഉപയോക്താക്കളുടേയും സംരക്ഷണത്തിനായി, താങ്കൾക്ക് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകൾ അംഗീകരിക്കാനാകില്ലെങ്കിൽ, ഞങ്ങളുടെ സേവനങ്ങൾ ഉപയോഗിക്കാനുമാകില്ല.

&lt;/div&gt;

ഏതെങ്കിലും സന്ദർഭത്തിൽ, ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളിലെ ഏതെങ്കിലും വ്യവസ്ഥ ഞങ്ങൾ പ്രാവർത്തികമാക്കിയില്ല, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ പ്രയോഗിച്ചില്ല എങ്കിൽ, ആ വ്യവസ്ഥ എടുത്തുകളഞ്ഞു എന്നർത്ഥമില്ല.

ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളിലെ ഏതെങ്കിലും വ്യവസ്ഥയ്ക്ക് വിരുദ്ധമായി, ഞങ്ങളും (വിക്കിമീഡിയ ഫൗണ്ടേഷൻ) താങ്കളും, പദ്ധതികളിലോ പദ്ധതി പതിപ്പുകളിലോ ചേർത്തിട്ടുള്ള ഏതെങ്കിലും ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട സ്വതന്ത്ര അനുമതി, ആ സ്വതന്ത്ര അനുമതി ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളാൽ അംഗീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ടിട്ടുള്ള പക്ഷം അവയിൽ മാറ്റം വരുത്തില്ലെന്ന് പരസ്പരം സമ്മതിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്.

ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകൾ എഴുതപ്പെട്ടത് ഇംഗ്ലീഷിൽ (അമേരിക്ക ഐക്യനാടുകളിലെ) ആണ്. ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളുടെ പരിഭാഷകൾ കൃത്യമായിരിക്കും എന്ന് ഞങ്ങൾ കരുതുന്നുവെങ്കിലും, യഥാർത്ഥ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് പതിപ്പും ഏതെങ്കിലും പരിഭാഷയുമായി എന്തെങ്കിലും വ്യത്യാസമുണ്ടായാൽ, യഥാർത്ഥ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് പതിപ്പ് ആയിരിക്കും പ്രാബല്യത്തിലുണ്ടാവുക.

ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളിലെ ഏതെങ്കിലും വ്യവസ്ഥയോ വ്യവസ്ഥയുടെ ഭാഗങ്ങളോ നിയമവിരുദ്ധമെന്നോ, ശൂന്യമെന്നോ, അപ്രായോഗികമെന്നോ കണ്ടെത്തിയാൽ, ആ വ്യവസ്ഥ അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വ്യവസ്ഥയുടെ ഭാഗം ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകളുടെ ഭാഗമായിട്ടല്ലാതെ അനുവദനീയമായ പരമാവധി പരിധിയിൽ പ്രയോഗിക്കാവുന്നതുമായി കരുതേണ്ടതാണ്, ഈ നിബന്ധനകളിലെ മറ്റ് വ്യവസ്ഥകൾ അപ്പോഴും പൂർണ്ണമായ ശക്തിയിലും പ്രഭാവത്തിലും പ്രയോഗിക്കത്തക്കതായിരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നതാണ്.

ഈ ഉപയോഗനിബന്ധനകൾ വായിച്ചുനോക്കാൻ താങ്കൾ സമയം ചിലവഴിച്ചത് അഭിനന്ദനാർഹമാണ്, താങ്കൾ പദ്ധതികളിൽ ഞങ്ങളുടെ സേവനങ്ങൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് സംഭാവനകൾ ചെയ്യുന്നത് ഞങ്ങളെ വളരെ സന്തോഷിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നതാണ്. താങ്കളുടെ സംഭാവനകൾ വഴി, വളരെ വലിയ - സഹകരണ മനോഭാവത്തോടെ തിരുത്തി നിർമ്മിച്ച പദ്ധതികളിൽ വിദ്യാഭ്യാസോദ്ദേശത്തോടെ ദശലക്ഷക്കണക്കിന് അറിയാനുള്ള അവസരം ലഭിക്കാത്ത ആൾക്കാർക്ക് ഉപയോഗിക്കാവുന്ന സുപ്രധാന ശേഖരം ഉണ്ടാക്കുക മാത്രമല്ല, ഉന്നതമായ ലക്ഷ്യത്തിനായി പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്ന സജീവ സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ ഭാഗമാകുകയുമാണ്.

''''' تخيل عالما بوسع كل شخص فيه النفاذ المجاني والحر إلى حصيلة المعرفة الإنسانية. هذا هو التزامنا بوسع إنتشار المعرفة.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|بيان رؤيتنا]]

مرحبا بكم في ويكيميديا​​! مؤسسة ويكيميديا​​. (&quot;نحن&quot; أو &quot;إننا&quot; أو &quot;مؤسسة&quot;) منظمة خيرية غير ربحية [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|مهمتها]] تمكين وإشراك أي شخص بالتحرير على مستوى مواقع الويكي ومن جميع أنحاء العالم لجمع وتطوير محتوى تحت  [[w:ar:محتوى حر|ترخيص حر]]  أو في الملكية العامة، ونشر ذلك بفعالية على الصعيد العالمي، مجانا

لدعم مجتمعنا النابض بالحياة، نحن توفر البنية التحتية الأساسية والإطار التنظيمي لتنمية مشاريع ويكي متعددة اللغات وإصداراتها الخاصة(كما هو موضح في [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|صفحة مشاريع ويكيميديا]]) وغيرها من المساعي التي تخدم هذه المهمة. ونحن نسعى جاهدين لإتاحة وحفظ المحتوى التعليمي و المعلوماتي في المشاريع مجانا على شبكة الإنترنت ، وإلى الأبد.

نرحب بك (&quot;أنت&quot; أو &quot;المستخدم&quot;) قارئًا أو محررًا أو مؤلفًا أو مساهمًا في مشاريع ويكيميديا​​، ونحن نشجعك على الإنضمام إلى مجتمع ويكيميديا. ومع ذلك، وقبل المشاركة،  فإننا نطلب منك أن تقرأ وتوافق على شروط الإستخدام التالية (&quot;شروط الإستخدام&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
شروط الإستخدام هذه تطلعك على الخدمات التي نقدمها مؤسسة ويكيميديا، وعن علاقتنا بك كمستخدم، والحقوق والمسؤوليات التي توجهنا سويا. نريد منك أن تعلم أننا نستضيف كمية هائلة من المحتوى التعليمي والمعلوماتي، وساهم بها جميعا واتاحها مستخدمين مثلك. وعموما نحن لا نساهم، نراقب، أو نحذف المحتوى (بإستثناء نادر الحدوث  مثل سياسات شروط الإستخدام هذه أو الامتثال للإشعارات القانونية لقانون حقوق المؤلف للألفية الرقمية). وهذا يعني أن السيطرة التحريرية في يدك أنت وزملائك المستخدمين الذين أنشؤوا وأداروا المحتوى. نحن مجرد مستضيفين ولهذا المحتوى.

المجتمع - شبكة المستخدمين الذين يقومون ببناء وإستخدام مختلف المواقع أو المشروعات بشكل مستمر - هي الوسيلة الرئيسية التي يتم من خلالها تحقيق أهداف المهمة. هذا المجتمع يساهم ويساعد في تنظيم مواقعنا. يتولى المجتمع مهمة حاسمة لخلق وإنفاذ السياسات في إصدارات مشروع محدد (مثل إصدرات اللغات المختلفة لمشروع ويكيبيديا أو إصدار ويكيميديا كومنز متعددة اللغات).

أنت، المستخدم، مدعو للإنضمام كمساهم، محرر، أو كمؤلف، ولكن يجب عليك اتباع السياسات التي تحكم كل إصدار من إصدارات المشاريع المستقلة، بما في ذلك [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|مدونة قواعد السلوك العالمية]] (UCoC). ويكيبيديا أكبر مشاريعنا، ولكننا نستضيف مشاريع أخرى أيضًا، ولكل منها أهداف وأساليب عمل مختلفة. كل إصدار مشروع لديه فريق من المساهمين والمحررين أو المؤلفين الذين يعملون معا من أجل إنشاء وإدارة المحتوى على إصدار ذلك المشروع. أنت مدعو للإنضمام الى هذه الفِرق والعمل معهم لتحسين هذه المشاريع. نظرًا لأننا ملتزمون بجعل المحتوى متاحًا للجميع مجانًا، فإننا نطلب عمومًا أن يكون كل المحتوى الذي تساهم به متاحًا بموجب ترخيص مجاني أو في المجال العام.

يُرجى العلم بأنك مسؤول قانونيا عن جميع مساهماتك، تعديلاتك، وإعادة إستخدام محتوى ويكيميديا ​​بموجب قوانين الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وغيرها من القوانين المعمول بها(والتي قد تشمل قوانين المكان الذي تعيش أو استعرضت أو عدلت به المحتوى). هذا يعني أنه من المهم أن تتوخي الحذر عند نشر المحتوى. في ضوء هذه المسؤولية، لدينا بعض القواعد حول ما لا تستطيع نشره، وهي في معظمها إما لحمايتك أو لحماية مستخدمين آخرين مثلك. يرجى أن تضع في اعتبارك أن المحتوى الذي نستضيفه هو لأغراض إعلامية عامة فقط، لذا إذا كنت بحاجة إلى نصيحة خبراء حول سؤال معين(مثل القضايا الطبية أو القانونية أو المالية)، يجب عليك طلب المساعدة من متخصص مرخص أو مؤهل. نقوم أيضًا بتضمين إشعارات مهمة أخرى وإخلاء المسؤولية، لذا يرجى قراءة شروط الاستخدام هذه في مجملها.

للتوضيح، المنظمات الأخرى، مثل [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|فصول ويكيمبدبا المحلية]] والجمعيات، التي قد تشترك في نفس المهمة هي بحد ذاتها مستقلة قانونيا ومنفصلة عن مؤسسة ويكيميديا. ما لم تنص المؤسسة على خلاف ذلك باعتبارها طرفًا معتمدًا على موقع ويب خاص بالمشروع، فإن تلك المنظمات الأخرى لا تتحمل أي مسؤولية عن عمليات موقع المشروع أو محتواه المبين.

== 1.  خدماتنا  ==

مؤسسة ويكيميديا ​​مُكرسة لتشجيع نمو وتطوير ونشر محتوى حر متعدد اللغات، وإستضافة كامل محتوى المشروعات المستندة علي ويكي للعامة مجانا. دورنا هو إستضافة بعض من أكبر مشاريع التحرير التعاونية في العالم، و [//www.wikimedia.org التي يمكن العثور عليهاهنا]. ولكن، نحن نعمل فقط كخدمة إستضافة، والحفاظ على البنية التحتية والإطار التنظيمي الذي يسمح لمستخدمينا لبناء مشاريع ويكيميديا ​​عن طريق المساهمة وتحرير المحتوى بأنفسهم. كما أنها تسمح لمستخدمينا بإعادة استخدام هذا المحتوى. تتضمن البنية التحتية التي نحتفظ بها بنية تحتية تكنولوجية متخصصة تمكن المستخدمين من التفاعل برمجيًا مع المحتوى وإعادة إستخدامه في المشاريع (يشار إليها باسم &quot;واجهة برمجة التطبيقات&quot; أو &quot;APIs&quot;)، وتطبيقات الهاتف المحمول.

كما هو مستخدم في بقية شروط الإستخدام، تتكون خدماتنا من: [//www.wikimedia.org مواقع المشروع التي نستضيفها]، والبنية التحتية التقنية التي نحتفظ بها، وأي مساحات تقنية نستضيفها لصيانة مشاريعنا وتحسينها.

نظرًا لدورنا الفريد، هناك بعض الأشياء التي يجب أن تكون على دراية بها عند النظر في علاقتنا بك وبالمشاريع والمستخدمين الآخرين:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''نحن لا نتولى دورا تحريريا:''' لأن مشاريع ويكيميديا ​​تُحرر بشكل تعاوني، يُوفر مستخدمون مثلك الغالبية العظمى من المحتوى الذي نستضيفه، ونحن لا نتولى دورا تحريريًا. هذا يعني أننا عادة لا نُراقب أو نحرر محتوى مواقع المشاريع، ونحن لا نتحمل أي مسؤولية عن هذا المحتوى. وبالمثل، ما لم نذكر خلاف ذلك صراحةً، فإننا لا نؤيد أي آراء يُعبر عنها عبر خدماتنا، ولا نمثل أو نضمن صدق أو دقة أو موثوقية أي محتوى مجتمعي مقدم في المشاريع.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;''' أنت مسؤول عن أفعالك : ''' انت مسؤول قانونًا عن تعديلاتك ومساهماتك في مشاريع ويكيميديا​​، وإعادة استخدام المحتوى في المشاريع، واستخدامك لواجهات برمجة التطبيقات، وإستخدامك لخدماتنا بشكل عام. ولحمايتك الشخصية يجب عليك توخي الحذر وتجنب المساهمة بأي محتوى قد يؤدي إلى مسؤولية جنائية أو مدنية بموجب أي قوانين معمول بها. وللتوضيح، يتضمن القانون المعمول به على الأقل قوانين الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وولاية كاليفورنيا. وبالنسبة للبلدان الأخرى، يُحدد ذلك على أساس كل حالة على حدة. على الرغم من أننا قد لا نوافق على مثل هذه الإجراءات، إلا أننا نحذر المستخدمين - وخاصة المحررين والمساهمين والمؤلفين - من أن السلطات غير الأمريكية قد تسعى إلى تطبيق قوانين دولة أخرى عليك، من ضمنها القوانين المحلية حيث تعيش او حيث إستعرضت أو حررت محتوى. عموما لا تستطيع مؤسسة ويكيميديا تقديم أي حماية أو ضمان أو حصانة أو تعويض جراء تطبيق مثل هذه القوانين.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

المشاريع التي تستضيفها مؤسسة ويكيميديا موجودة فقط بسبب المجتمع النابض بالحياة من المستخدمين مثلك؛ الذين يتعاونون معًا لكتابة المحتوى وتحريره وتنظيمه. يسعدنا أن نرحب بمشاركتك في هذا المجتمع. نحن نشجع على أن تكون محضر وماذا في تفاعلاتك مع الآخرين في المجتمع، والتصرف بحسن نية، وإجراء تعديلات ومساهمات تهدف إلى تعزيز مهمة المشروع المشترك. نطلب من جميع المستخدمين مراجعة واتباع [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|مدونة قواعد السلوك العالمية]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;)، والتي تحدد متطلبات التعاون الجماعي والمدنية عبر جميع المشاريع التي تستضيفهاSpecial:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct.

قد تكون أنشطة معينة، سواء كانت قانونية أو غير قانونية، ضارة للمستخدمين الآخرين وتنتهك قواعدنا، كما أن بعض الأنشطة قد تعرضك للمسؤولية. لذلك، من أجل حمايتك وحماية المستخدمين الآخرين، لا يجوز لك المشاركة في مثل هذه الأنشطة على مواقعنا. تشمل هذه الأنشطة:

:'''المساهمات مدفوعة الأجر دون إفصاح'''

::* تحظر هذه الشروط المشاركة في أنشطة مضللة، بما في ذلك تحريف بيانات الانتماء و انتحال الشخصيات والاحتيال. كجزء من هذه الالتزامات، يجب الإفصاح عن صاحب العمل والعميل والانتماء فيما يتعلق بأي مساهمة تحصل مقابلها عن تعويض أو تتوقع الحصول عليه. يجب عليك أن تقوم بهذا الإفصاح بإحدى الطرق الآتية على الأقل:
::*بيان على صفحة المستخدم الخاص بك؛ أو
::*بيان على صفحة النقاش المصاحبة لأي مساهمات مدفوعة الأجر؛ أو
::*بيان في ملخص التحرير المصاحب لأي مساهمات مدفوعة الأجر.
::* إضافة إلى ذلك، إذا قمت بالنشر العام خارج خدمات تحرير إعلانات المشاريع على ويكيبيديا مقابل تعويض من أي نوع، فيجب عليك الكشف عن جميع حسابات ويكيبيديا التي استخدمتها أو ستستخدمها لهذه الخدمة في النشر العام على خدمة الطرف الثالث.
::* قد يؤدي القانون المعمول به، أو السياسات الخاصة بالمشروع وسياسات المؤسسة وإرشاداتها، مثل تلك التي تعالج تضارب المصالح، إلى تقييد المساهمات المدفوعة أو تتطلب إفصاحًا أكثر تفصيلاً. على سبيل المثال، إنتهاك علامات ويكيميديا التجارية (المحددة فيما بعد في القسم 6) للإعلان عن خدمات التحرير المدفوعة، أو إزالة الإفصاحات عن التعديلات المدفوعة التي كُشف عنها مسبقًا بشكل مناسب، أو التحرير المدفوع الذي سُجل الخروج منه بطريقة تجعل الكشف المناسب أمرًا مستحيلًا عمليًا، ينتهك هذا القسم.
::* قد يتبنى مجتمع مشروع ويكيميديا ​​سياسة بديلة للإفصاح عن المساهمات المدفوعة والتي قد تكمل هذا القسم أو تحل محله. إذا كان المشروع يتبنى سياسة إفصاح بديلة، فيمكنك الإلتزام بهذه السياسة بدلاً من المتطلبات الواردة في هذا القسم (بعنوان &quot;المساهمات المدفوعة دون الإفصاح&quot;) عند المساهمة في هذا المشروع المحدد.

::::لمزيد من المعلومات، يرجى قراءة [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|الأسئلة الشائعة عن الإفصاح عن المساهمات مدفوعة الأجر]].


يؤدي التحرير غير المعلن عنه من قبل المحررين الذين يتلقون تعويضًا إلى خلق عبء جسيم بحسن نية، والمحررين المتطوعين [[:en:Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide|الذين يتعين عليهم التحقيق في سياسات المجتمع وإنفاذها]]. لذلك، بالنسبة لإنتهاكات هذا القسم المتعلقة بالتحرير مقابل أجر غير المعلن عنه، فإنك توافق على الخضوع لوساطة شركة التسويق. كما هو موضح في القسم 14 من شروط الاستخدام هذه.

نحن نحتفظ بالحق في ممارسة تقديرنا للتنفيذ فيما يتعلق بالأحكام الواردة في القسم 4 من شروط الأستخدام هذه. عند الاقتضاء، قد يتضمن تنفيذ هذه الشروط إجراءات غير مدرجة في مؤسسة ويكيميديا ​​[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|سياسة إجراءات المكتب]]. إذا كان التنفيذ مطلوبًا في ظروف جديدة، فسنبذل جهدًا خلال عام واحد (1) على الأكثر لتحديث سياسة إجراءات المكتب لفهرسة النوع الجديد من الإجراء.

على الرغم من أن لديك حرية كبيرة لإعادة استخدام المحتوى على مواقع المشروع، فإنه من الأهمية لدى مؤسسة ويكيميديا حماية حقوق علاماتنا التجارية حتى نتمكن من حماية مستخدمينا من منتحلي الشخصية المحتالين. ولهذا، فإننا نطلب منك أن تحترم علاماتنا التجارية. جميع علامات مؤسسة ويكيميديا ​​التجارية تتبع مؤسسة ويكيميديا، وأستخدام أي من أسماؤنا التجارية، العلامات التجارية وعلامات الخدمة والشعارات، أو أسماء النطاقات يجب أن تكون متوافقة مع شروط الأستخدام هذه وتتوافق مع [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|سياستنا للعلامات التجارية]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. ترخيص المحتوى ==

لتنمية إشاعة المعرفة الحرة والثقافة الحرة، يطلب من جميع المستخدمين المساهمين في المشاريع منح أذونات واسعة لعامة الجمهور لإعادة توزيع وإعادة أستخدام مساهماتهم بحرية، طالما هذا الأستخدام تم عزوه بشكل صحيح وطالما أستخدم نفس الحرية لإعادة أستخدام وإعادة التوزيع والإذن لأية أعمال مشتقة منه. وتمشيا مع هدفنا المتمثل في توفير المعلومات مجانا للجمهور على أوسع نطاق ممكن، نحن نطلب عندما تقتضي الضرورة أن تكون المحتويات المضافة مرخصة بحيث يعاد استخدامها بحرية من قبل أي شخص يهتم بالحصول عليها.

أنت توافق على متطلبات الترخيص التالية:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;''' النص الذي تحتفظ انت بحقوق تأليفه''' عند تضيف نصا تملك انت حقوق تأليفه، فإنك توافق على الترخيص له بموجب:
# [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} رخصة المشاع الإبداعي: النسبة-الترخيص بالمثل 4.0 العالمية.] (&quot;4.0 CC BY-SA&quot;)، 
# [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html رخصة جنو للوثائق الحرة] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (بدون تعيين إصدار، مع عدم وجود أبواب ثابتة، نصوص غلاف، أو نصوص غلاف خلفي).

بإمكان معيدي الأستخدام الأمتثال لأحد الترخيصين أو لكليهما.&lt;br /&gt;
الاستثناء الوحيد هو ما إذا كان إصدار المشروع أو الميزة تتطلب ترخيصًا مختلفًا. وفي هذه الحالة، فإنك توافق على ترخيص أي نص تساهم به بموجب الترخيص المحدد المنصوص عليه في إصدار المشروع أو الميزة.

يُرجى ملاحظة أن هذه التراخيص تسمح بالاستخدامات التجارية لمساهماتك، طالمَا أن هذه الاستخدامات متوافقة مع الشروط. في حال أمتلاكك حقوق في قاعدة بيانات Sui Generis تغطيها رخصة CC BY-SA 4.0، فسيلزمك التنازل عن هذه الحقوق. على سبيل المثال، يعني هذا أنه يمكن إعادة أستخدام الحقائق التي تساهم بها في المشاريع بحرية دون إسنادها.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;''' العزو :''' العزو هو جزء مهم من هذه التراخيص. نرى أنها تمنح الحق حيث ينبغي- لمؤلفين مثلك. عندما تساهم بنص، فإنك توافق على أن يعزى بأن من الطرق التالية :
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;بواسطة ارتباط تشعبي (حيثما أمكن) أو عنوان إنترنت إلى المقالة التي أسهمت بها (بحيث ان كل مقالة تحتوي على صفحة تأريخ تسرد كافة الكتاب والمحررين) ؛&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;من خلال ارتباط تشعبي (حيثما أمكن) أو عنوان انترنت لنسخة مستقرة بديلة على شبكة الإنترنت يمكن الوصول إليها بحرية، والتي تتوافق مع الرخصة، والتي بدورها تنسبه للمؤلفين بطريقة تعادل نسبته على موقع المشروع، أو&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;من خلال قائمة بجميع المؤلفين (ولكن يرجى ملاحظة أنه قد تتم تصفية أية قائمة للمؤلفين لإستبعاد المساهمات الصغيرة جدا أو غير ذات الصلة).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;''' استيراد نص : ''' يمكنك استيراد نص وجدته في مكان آخر أو ألفته مع آخرين، ولكن في هذه الحالة فإنك تضمن إتاحة النص وفقا لشروط تتوافق مع رخصة CC BY - SA 3.0 (أو، كما جرى تبيانه أعلاه، مع رخصة أخرى استثناء من قبل إصدار مشروع أو ميزة) (&quot;CC BY - SA&quot;). المحتوى المتاح تحت رخصة جنو للوثائق الحرة فقط غير مصرح به.&lt;br /&gt;

توافق على، إذا قمت بإستيراد نص تحت رخصة  CC BY - SA والذي يتطلب العزو، يجب ان تنسبه للمؤلف(ين) بطريقة معقولة. وحيثما يتم نسبة العمل بشكل معتاد من خلال تاريخ الصفحة (مثل نسخ ويكيميديا ​​- الداخلية) ، فإنه يكفي لإعطاء النسبة في ملخص التحرير، والتي يتم تسجيلها في تاريخ الصفحة عند استيراد النص. في حالات خاصة (بغض النظر عن الترخيص)  تعتبر متطلبات العزو أحيانا تطفلا، ولهذا السبب هناك حالات قد يقرر فيها مجتمع ويكيميديا ​​أنه لا يمكن استخدام النص المستورد.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;''' وسائط غير نصية : ''' تتوفر الوسائط غير النصية في المشاريع في إطار مجموعة من التراخيص المختلفة التي تدعم الهدف العام من السماح غير المقيد لإعادة الإستخدام وإعادة التوزيع. عند المساهمة بوسائط غير نصية، فإنك توافق على الامتثال لمتطلبات الرخصة من هذا القبيل كما هو موضح من خلال [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|سياسة الترخيص]] ، والإمتثال ايضا الى متطلبات إصدارة المشروع المعين أو الميزة محور مساهمتك. اطلع أيضا على [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|سياسة الترخيص في ويكيميديا كومنز]]  لتحصل على المزيد من المعلومات حول المساهمة بالوسائط غير النصية في ذلك المشروع.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;''' لا إلغاء للترخيص: ''' باستثناء ما هو مذكور في ترخيصك، فإنك توافق على أنك لن تلغي أو تلتمس إبطال أي رخصة منحتها بموجب شروط الاستخدام هذه عن محتوى نصي أو وسائط غير نصية جرى المساهمة بها في مشاريع أو ميزات ويكيميديا، حتى لو أنهيت استخدام الخدمات التي نقدمها.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''محتوى ملكية عامة:''' محتوى  الملكية العامة مرحب به! ومع ذلك من المهم أن تؤكد حالة الملكية العامة  تحت قانون الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وبالمثل لقانون اي دول أخرى كما هو مطلوب من إصدارة المشروع المعين. عندما تساهم بمحتوى كملكية عامة، فإنك تضمن بأن المواد هي في الواقع في الملكية العامة، وأنت توافق على تصنيفه بالشكل المناسب.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;''' إعادة الاستخدام: ''' إعادة استخدام المحتوى الذي نستضيفه مرحب به، مع وجود أستثناءات للمحتوى المساهم به في إطار &quot;الاستخدام العادل&quot; أو الاستثناءات المماثلة بموجب قانون حق المؤلف. أي إعادة أستخدام يجب أن يتوافق مع الرخصة (الرخص) الأساسية.&lt;br /&gt;

عندما تعيد استخدام أو تعيد توزيع صفحة نصية طورت بواسطة مجتمع ويكيميديا​​، فإنك توافق على العزو للمؤلفين بأي من الطرق التالية:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;من خلال إرتباط تشعبي (حيثما أمكن) أو عنوان انترنت إلى المقال أو المقالات  التي تعيد استخدامها (بحيث ان كل مقالة تحتوي على صفحة تأريخ تسرد كافة الكتاب والمحررين)؛&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;من خلال إرتباط تشعبي (حيثما أمكن) أو عنوان أنترنت لنسخة مستقرة بديلة على شبكة الإنترنت يمكن الوصول إليها بحرية، والتي تتوافق مع الرخصة، والتي بدورها تنسبه للمؤلفين بطريقة تعادل نسبته على موقع المشروع، أو&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;من خلال قائمة بجميع المؤلفين (ولكن يرجى ملاحظة أنه قد تتم تصفية أية قائمة للمؤلفين لإستبعاد المساهمات الصغيرة جدا أو غير ذات الصلة).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

إذا تم إستيراد المحتوى النصي من مصدر آخر، فمن الممكن أن يكون المحتوى مرخصًا بترخيص متوافق مع CC BY-SA ولكن ليس متوافقًا مع رخصة جنو للوثائق الحرة (كما هو موضح في قسم &quot;إستيراد النص&quot; أعلاه). في هذه الحالة، أنت توافق على الأمتثال لترخيص CC BY-SA المتوافق وليس لديك خيار إعادة ترخيصه بموجب رخصة جنو للوثائق الحرة. لتحديد الترخيص الذي ينطبق على المحتوى الذي تسعى إلى إعادة استخدامه أو إعادة توزيعه، يجب عليك مراجعة تذييل الصفحة وسجل الصفحة وصفحة النقاش.

إضافة إلى ذلك ، يرجى العلم بأن النص الذي نشأ من مصادر خارجية وتم استيراده إلى مشروع قد يكون تحت رخصة يلحق بها متطلبات إسناد إضافية. يوافق المستخدمين على الدلالة بوضوح لمتطلبات الإسناد الإضافية هذه. وتبعا للمشروع قد تظهر مثل هذه المتطلبات على سبيل المثال في لافتة أو رمز توضيح آخر تشير إلى أن بعض أو جميع المحتوى جرى نشره في مكان آخر. وحيث وجد مثل رموز التوضيح هذه بشكل واضح، فإنه ينبغي لمعيدي الإستخدام الحفاظ عليها.

لأي وسائط غير نصية، فإنك توافق على الإلتزام بأي رخصة جرى اتاحة العمل وفقها (والتي يمكن اكتشافها من خلال النقر على العمل والبحث في قسم الترخيص على صفحة الوصف أو النظر في صفحة مصدر لهذا العمل). عند إعادة استخدام أي محتوى نقوم بإستضافته، فإنك توافق على الامتثال لمتطلبات الإسناد ذات الصلة المضمنه بالترخيص أو التراخيص.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''التعديلات أو الإضافات على المواد التي يعاد إستخدامها:''' عند التعديل أو الإضافة على نص حصلت عليه  من موقع مشروع، فإنك توافق على ترخيص المحتوى المعدل أو المضاف تحت رخصة المشاع الإبداعي: النسبة-الترخيص بالمثل 3.0  أو أحدث (أو ، على النحو المبين أعلاه، ترخيص إستثنائي آخر وفقا لمتطلب إصدارة مشروع معين أو ميزة).&lt;br /&gt;

عند التعديل أو الإضافة على الوسائط غير النصية التي حصلت عليها من موقع مشروع، فإنك توافق على ترخيص المحتوى المعدل أو المضاف وفقا للترخيص الذي اتيح العمل بموجبه.&lt;br /&gt;

توافق على الإشارة بشكل واضح إلى أن العمل الأصلي تم تعديله سواء للمحتوى النصى أو محتوى الوسائط غير النصية. إذا كنت تعيد أستخدام محتوى نص في ويكي ، الدلالة في تاريخ الصفحات على قيامك بتعديل  النص المستورد يكفي. لكل نسخة أو نسخة معدلة تقوم بتوزيعها، فإنك توافق على أضافة اشعار بالترخيص يفيد بالرخصة التي أصدر في إطارها العمل، مع ارتباط تشعبي أو عنوان انترنت لنص تلك الرخصة أو نسخة من الرخصة نفسها.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

ترغب مؤسسة ويكيميديا بالتأكد من أن المحتوى الذي تستضيفه يمكن إعادة أستخدامه من قبل المستخدمين الآخرين دون خوف من المسؤولية وأنه لا يشكل تعديا على حقوق ملكية الآخرين. ولإنصاف مستخدمينا، فضلا عن غيرهم من المبدعين ومالكي حقوق التأليف والنشر، سياستنا هي التجاوب مع إخطارات مزاعم الإنتهاك التي تتوافق مع إجراءات قانون حق المؤلف للألفية الرقمية (DMCA). وعملا بحق المؤلف للألفية الرقمية، فإننا بالطريقة الملائمة سوف نقطع وننهي المستخدمين وأصحاب الحسابات المستخدمين لنظامنا وشبكتنا الذين يكررون المخالفة.

ومع ذلك، فإننا ندرك أيضاً أنه ليس كل إشعار لإنزال محتوى صالح أو حسن النية. في مثل هذه الحالات، نحن نشجع المستخدمين بشدة على رفع طلب مضاد لإخطار الإزالة عندما يعتقدون بشكل كاف أن طلب الإزالة حسب قانون حق المؤلف للألفية الرقمية غير صالح أو غير صحيح. لمزيد من المعلومات حول ما يجب فعله إذا كنت تعتقد أنه تم تقديم الإشعار القانوني بشكل غير مقبول، قد ترغب بإستشارة موقع //lumendatabase.org/.

إذا كنت صاحب محتوى يستخدم بشكل غير صحيح على أحد المشاريع بدون إذن منك، بإمكانك طلب إزالة المحتوى تحت قانون حق المؤلف للألفية الرقمية. لتقديم مثل هذا الطلب، يرجى مراسلتنا عبر البريد الإلكتروني {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}، أو أرسل الطلب بالبريد العادي إلى وكيلنا المعين على  [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|هذا العنوان]].

يؤدي المجتمع الدور الأساسي في وضع السياسات المطبقة على إصدارات المشروع المختلفة وتنفيذها. نادرًا ما نتدخل في القرارات المجتمعية المتعلقة بالسياسة وإنفاذها في مؤسسة ويكيميديا.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
من الممكن إخطارنا بالمحتوى غير القانوني أو المحتوى الذي ينتهك شروط الاستخدام الخاصة بنا (بما في ذلك جميع السياسات والوثائق الأخرى المدرجة بالإحالة) لأسباب أخرى [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|عن طريق الاتصال بنا مباشرة]].  ومع ذلك، يمكنك عادةً تقديم طلب مباشرة إلى مجتمعنا: قد يكون هذا أكثر كفاءة، ويتوافق بشكل أكبر مع هدف مشاريعنا المتمثل في تمكين مجتمع المستخدمين.
&lt;/div&gt;


عادةً ما يقدم كل مشروع صفحات &quot;مساعدة&quot; أو &quot;جهة اتصال&quot; للحصول على مزيد من التوجيه أو أدوات محددة للإبلاغ عن المشكلات. أو بدلاً من ذلك - إذا ساورك الشك - يمكنك أن تطلب المساعدة من أفراد المجتمع عن طريق إرسال بريد إلكتروني إلى {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} أو العناوين الأكثر تحديدًا المدرجة [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|صفحة فريق الاستجابة التطوعية]]. يُرجى ملاحظة أن صناديق البريد هذه يراقبها مستخدمي المشاريع، وليس المؤسسة. لذا يجب عدم تهديدهم أو إصدار مطالب قانونية بحقهم.

إذا اتصلت بالمؤسسة بشأن مشكلة ما، فسنستكشف عادةً ما إذا كانت الآليات الحالية التي يتبعها المجتمع يمكنها التحقيق في المشكلة وحلها، حيثما كان ذلك مناسبًا.

في حالة غير معتادة، قد تنشأ الحاجة، أو قد يطلب منا المجتمع، معالجة إشكاليات مستخدم بشكل خاص &lt;ins&gt;أو محتوى إشكالي بشكل خاص بسبب حدوث اضطراب كبير أو سلوك خطير داخل مشروع. في مثل هذه الحالات، نحتفظ بالحق، وفقًا لتقديرنا الخاص (أو حيثما يكون ذلك إلزاميًا قانونًا)ولكن لا نتحمل أي إلتزام بما يلي:

* بالتحقيق في استخدامك للخدمة (أ) للتأكد من حصول انتهاك لشروط الاستخدام هذه، لسياسة إصدارة مشروع، أو غيرها من القوانين أو السياسات الأخرى المعمول بها، أو (ب) الامتثال لأي قانون معمول به، إجراء قانوني، أو طلب حكومي معتبر؛
* كشف، منع، معالجة الاحتيال، الأمن، أو القضايا الفنية، أو الاستجابة لطلبات دعم المستخدم؛
* رفض أو تعطيل أو تقييد الوصول إلى مساهمة  أي مستخدم يخالف شروط الاستخدام هذه؛
* منع المستخدم من التحرير أو المساهمة أو حظر حساب المستخدم أو الوصول إلى الإجراءات التي تنتهك شروط الأستخدام هذه، بما في ذلك النشر المتكرر للمواد غير القانونية بموجب القانون المعمول به بما يتماشى مع مبادئ حقوق الإنسان؛
* اتخاذ إجراءات قانونية ضد المستخدمين الذين ينتهكون شروط الأستخدام هذه (بما في ذلك تقديم التقارير إلى سلطات إنفاذ القانون)؛ و
* إدارة مواقع المشروع بطريقة مصممة لتسهيل عملها بشكل سليم وحماية حقوقنا وممتلكاتنا وسلامة أنفسنا ومستخدمينا ومرخصينا وشركائنا والجمهور.

قد يُبَّلغ عن أنشطة الإشراف الخاصة بالمؤسسة هذه أو تنفيذها بواسطة برنامج (مثل الحماية من تدفق حركة المرور (&quot;رفض الخدمة&quot;)). في تلك الحالات، تكون المراجعة البشرية متاحة عادةً، [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|عند الطلب]].

قد يتخذ مجتمع ويكيميديا ​​وأعضائها أيضا إجراءات يسمح بها المجتمع أو سياسات المؤسسة تنطبق على إصدارة مشروع معين، بما في ذلك على سبيل المثال لا الحصر الإنذار، والتحقيق، ومنع، أو حظر المستخدمين منتهكي هذه السياسات. فإنك توافق على الامتثال للقرارات الصادرة من هيئات تسوية المنازعات المقررة بواسطة مجتمع إصدارة مشروع معين (مثل لجان التحكيم)، وهذه القرارات يمكن أن تتضمن عقوبات حددتها سياسة الإصدارة لمشروع معين.

أصحاب المشاكل من المستخدمين ممن جرى حظر حسابه أو وصوله في إصدرات مشاريع متعددة بشكل خاص قد يخضع لحظر من جميع إصدارات المشروع، وفقا [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|لسياسة الحظر عالمي]]. وعلى نقيض قرارات المجلس أو شروط الأستخدام هذه، قد يتم تعديل السياسات التي وضعها المجتمع  والتي قد تشمل إصدارة مشروع فردي أو عدة إصدرات (مثل سياسة الحظر العالمي)، من قبل المجتمع ذو الصلة وفقا لإجراءاتها الخاصة.

منع حساب أو وصول أو حظر مستخدم بموجب هذا البند يجب أن يتوافق مع المادة 12 من شروط الاستخدام هذه.

إذا كنت تعتقد أننا لم نتصرف بطريقة مُرضية بشأن تقرير إشكالي يتعلق بالمحتوى، أو إذا كنت قد خضعت لإجراءات إشراف في المؤسسة ترغب في الطعن فيها، قد تتمكن من [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|إرسال استئناف]].  قد يتم أيضًا شرح معلومات أخرى حول طرق الطعن المتاحة لك في ذلك الوقت، أو في صفحات المساعدة الخاصة بالمشروع.

نحن نحتفظ بالحق في تعليق (مؤقتًا أو دائمًا) تعاملنا مع التقارير أو المراسلات الأخرى من المستخدمين أو الجهات الخارجية، سواء فيما يتعلق بمحتوى أو سلوك يُزعم أنه غير قانوني أو مثير للمشاكل، أو طلب استئناف ضد إجراءات الإشراف، إذا تمت هذه المراسلات بطريقة بسوء نية، متكررة، لا أساس لها من الصحة، و/أو مسيئة. في الظروف المناسبة، قد يُحظر عنوان بريدك الإلكتروني على نظام (أنظمة) البريد الإلكتروني لدينا، وستحتاج بعد ذلك إلى الاتصال بنا [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|على عنواننا البريدي]] إذا كنت ترغب في مراسلتنا بشكل أكبر أثناء هذا الحظر. بالنسبة للحالات الأقل خطورة (على سبيل المثال ما يصل إلى ثلاث رسائل بريد إلكتروني مهذبة حول واحدة أو أكثر من الشكاوى التي لا أساس لها)، فمن المرجح أن يكون ذلك مؤقتًا. من المرجح أن تؤدي الاتصالات المتكررة أو الأكثر إساءة إلى اتخاذ تدابير دائمة.

كما هو موضح في القسم 4 من شروط الأستخدام هذه، أنت توافق على تسوية إنتهاكات المساهمات المدفوعة دون الإفصاح عنها في وساطة شركة تسويق وفقًا لتقدير المؤسسة. تُعد وساطة شركة التسويق '''ملزمة''' حيث، في نهاية جلسة مدتها نصف يوم أو يوم كامل، سيتم البت في أي بنود متنازع عليها لا تزال دون تسوية من قبل الوسيط في قرار ملزم قانونًا. سيتم إجراؤها في الإجتماعات عن طريق المؤتمرات عن بُعد أو عن طريق الفيديو. إذا كان الأجتماع بشكل شخصي مطلوبًا، فسيتم عقد وساطة شركة التسويق في سان فرانسيسكو، كاليفورنيا. سيقسم الطرفان جميع الرسوم والنفقات المتعلقة بالوساطة/التحكيم بالتساوي.

أنت توافق، كطرف في وساطة شركة التسويق، على التعاون مع المؤسسة، بما في ذلك تقديم أي وثائق في حوزتك في الوقت المناسب فيما يتعلق بأنشطة التحرير مقابل أجر المعلن عنها، بما في ذلك الحسابات المستخدمة والمقالات التي تم تنفيذها والعملاء الذين اشتروا هذه الخدمات.

'''''개개인이 모든 지식을 모으는 데 동등하고 자유롭게 참여할 수 있는 세상을 그려보십시오. 그것이 바로 우리의 공약입니다.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|재단의 미래상 선언]]

위키미디어에 오신 것을 환영합니다! 위키미디어 재단(이하 &quot;우리&quot; 또는 &quot;재단&quot;)은 미국 캘리포니아 샌프란시스코에 위치한 비영리 자선 단체로, 재단의 [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|사명]]은 전 세계 사람이 [[w:en:Free content|자유 라이선스]]나 퍼블릭 도메인인 콘텐츠를 모으고 발전시켜 효율적으로 세계 곳곳에 대가 없이 이를 보급할 수 있도록 허용하고 권장하는 것입니다.

활기찬 커뮤니티를 지원하기 위해, 재단에서는 다언어 위키 프로젝트와 그 언어판([[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|위키미디어 프로젝트 페이지]]의 설명 참고)(이하 &quot;프로젝트&quot;라 칭함)의 개발 및 임무를 수행하기 위한 다른 노력을 위한 필수 기반 시설과 조직의 틀을 제공합니다. 재단은 영원히 무료로 인터넷에서 사용할 수 있는, 프로젝트의 교육 및 정보 콘텐츠를 만들고 유지하기 위해 노력합니다.

재단은 여러분(이하 &quot;여러분&quot; 또는 사용자&quot;)을 프로젝트의 독자 또는 기여자로서 환영하며, 위키미디어 공동체에 참여하기를 권장합니다. 그러나 참여하기 전에 다음 이용 약관(“이용 약관”)을 읽고 이에 동의해주시기 바랍니다.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
이 이용 약관은 위키미디어 재단의 공익 사업, 사용자로서의 여러분과 재단의 관계, 및 양자 모두에 영향을 끼치는 권리와 책임을 설명합니다. 재단은 엄청난 양의 교육·정보 콘텐츠를 호스팅하고 있으며 이 모든 것은 여러분 같은 사용자들의 기여가 있어 가능해졌습니다. 재단은 일반적으로 콘텐츠를 기여하거나 감시하거나 삭제하지 않습니다(이 이용 약관과 같은 정책, 법률의 준수, 심각한 위해의 긴급한 위협에 직면한 경우 등의 드문 예외는 제외합니다). 편집 통제권은 콘텐츠를 생성하고 관리하는 여러분과 여러분의 동료 사용자에게 있습니다.

프로젝트 및/또는 그 웹사이트(이하 &quot;프로젝트 웹사이트&quot;)를 지속적으로 구축하고 사용하는 사용자 네트워크인 공동체는 재단 사명의 목적을 달성하는 주요한 수단입니다. 공동체는 재단 프로젝트와 프로젝트 웹사이트에 기여하고 운영을 돕습니다. 공동체는 특정한 프로젝트 언어판(위키백과 프로젝트의 다양한 언어판이나 위키미디어 공용 다언어판)에 대한 정책을 만들고 집행하는 중대한 역할을 수행합니다.

사용자인 여러분은 기여자, 편집자 또는 저작자로 참여하는 것을 환영하지만 모든 프로젝트에 적용되는 [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|보편적 행동 강령]](UCoC)을 포함하여 각각의 독립 프로젝트를 규율하는 정책을 준수해야 합니다. 재단의 가장 큰 프로젝트는 위키백과이지만, 각각 다른 목표와 작업 방식을 가진 다른 프로젝트도 호스팅하고 있습니다. 각 프로젝트 언어판에는 콘텐츠를 생성하여 관리하기 위해 함께 활동하는 기여자, 편집자 또는 저작자 모임이 있습니다. 여러분은 이러한 모임에 참여해서 프로젝트를 발전시키는데 함께 일할 수 있습니다. 콘텐츠를 일반 대중이 자유롭게 이용하는 데에 최선을 다하고 있으므로, 여러분이 기여한 모든 콘텐츠는 자유 라이선스나 퍼블릭 도메인에 따라 사용할 수 있습니다.

위키미디어 콘텐츠에 대한 기여, 편집 및 재사용에 대한 법적 책임은 미국 법률 및 기타 관련 법률(여러분이 거주하거나, 여러분이 기여하는 대상이 위치한 국가의 법률을 포함)에 따라 여러분에게 있다는 점을 꼭 알고 계십시오. 즉, 콘텐츠를 게시, 수정, 재사용할 때 주의를 기울이는 것이 중요합니다. 이러한 책임에 비추어 볼 때, 재단은 여러분이 할 수 없는 일에 관한 몇 가지 규칙을 가지고 있으며, 규칙의 대부분은 여러분을 보호하고, 여러분 같은 다른 사용자를 보호하기 위한 것입니다. 재단에서 호스팅하고 있는 콘텐츠는 일반적인 정보 제공 목적만을 위한 것으로 사용자가 특정한 문제(의료, 법률, 재정 문제 등)에 대한 전문가의 조언이 필요하다면 적절한 전문가의 도움을 받아야 합니다. 또한 다른 중요한 고지 및 면책 조항이 포함되어 있으니 이용 약관 전문을 읽어주시기 바랍니다.

명확성을 위해 기타 단체, 이를테면 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|지역 위키미디어 지부]] 및 협력 단체는 재단과 같은 임무를 공유하고 있음에도 법적으로 독립적이며 위키미디어 재단과 분리되어 있습니다.

재단이 특정 프로젝트 웹사이트의 권한있는 당사자로 달리 명시하지 않는 한, 어러한 다른 조직은 프로젝트 웹사이트 또는 그 콘텐츠의 운영에 대해 어떠한 책임도 지지 않습니다.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1.  재단의 서비스 ==

위키미디어 재단은 자유 다언어 콘텐츠의 성장과 발전, 보급을 장려하고, 이 위키 기반 프로젝트의 전체 콘텐츠를 대중에게 무료로 호스팅하는 것에 전념하고 있습니다. 재단의 역할은 [//www.wikimedia.org 여기에서 찾을 수 있는] 세계에서 가장 큰 공동 편집 참조 프로젝트 중 일부를 호스팅하는 것입니다. 하지만 재단은 호스팅 서비스 제공자로서 기반 시설과 조직 틀을 유지하는 역할만을 제공합니다. 이 기반 시설과 조직 틀을 통해 사용자들이 직접 콘텐츠를 기여하고 편집하여 프로젝트를 구축할 수 있습니다. 또한 사용자가 해당 콘텐츠를 재사용할 수 있도록 허용합니다. 재단이 유지 관리하는 기반 시설에는 사용자가 프로그래밍 방식으로 프로젝트의 콘텐츠와 상호 작용하고 재사용할 수 있는 특수 기술 인프라(&quot;애플리케이션 프로그래밍 인터페이스&quot; 또는 &quot;API&quot;) 및 모바일 애플리케이션이 포함됩니다.

사용 약관의 나머지 부분에서 사용됨에 따라, 우리의 서비스는 다음과 같습니다: [//www.wikimedia.org 우리가 호스팅하는 프로젝트 웹사이트], 우리가 유지보수하는 기술 인프라 및 우리가 우리의 프로젝트의 유지보수 및 개선을 위해 호스팅하는 모든 기술 공간.

우리의 독특한 역할 때문에, 당신, 프로젝트 및 다른 사용자와의 관계를 고려할 때 알아야 할 몇 가지 사항이 있습니다:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''우리는 편집 역할을 하지 않습니다:''' 프로젝트가 공동으로 편집되기 때문에, 우리가 호스팅하는 대부분의 콘텐츠는 사용자가 제공하며, 우리는 편집 역할을 하지 않습니다. 이것은 우리가 일반적으로 프로젝트 웹사이트의 콘텐츠를 모니터링하거나 편집하지 않으며, 이 콘텐츠에 대해 어떠한 책임도 지지 않는다는 것을 의미합니다. 마찬가지로, 우리가 달리 명시하지 않는 한, 우리는 서비스를 통해 표현된 어떠한 의견도 지지하지 않으며, 프로젝트에 제출된 커뮤니티 콘텐츠의 진실성, 정확성 또는 신뢰성을 대표하거나 보장하지 않습니다.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''당신은 자신의 행동에 대한 책임이 있습니다:''' 당신은 프로젝트에 대한 편집 및 기여, 프로젝트의 콘텐츠 재사용, API 사용 및 보다 일반적으로 우리의 서비스 사용에 대한 법적 책임이 있습니다. 자신의 보호를 위해 주의를 기울이고 관련 법률에 따라 형사 또는 민사 책임을 초래할 수 있는 조치를 취하지 않아야 합니다. 명확히 하기 위해, 해당 법률은 적어도 미국과 캘리포니아 주의 법률을 포함한다. 다른 나라의 경우, 이것은 사례별로 결정된다. 우리는 그러한 행동에 동의하지 않을 수도 있지만, 우리는 사용자, 특히 편집자, 기고자 및 저자에게 비미국 당국이 귀하가 거주하는 현지 법률 또는 콘텐츠를 보거나 편집하는 곳을 포함하여 다른 국가 법률을 적용하려고 할 수 있다고 경고합니다. 우리는 일반적으로 그러한 법률의 적용에 대한 보호, 보증, 면제 또는 배상을 제공할 수 없습니다.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. 콘텐츠의 라이선스==

자유 지식과 자유 문화의 커먼즈를 성장시키기 위해 프로젝트 또는 프로젝트 웹 사이트에 기여하는 모든 사용자는 해당 사용이 적절하게 귀속되고 동일한 자유가 있는 한 일반 대중에게 그들의 기여를 자유롭게 재배포하고 재사용할 수 있는 광범위한 권한을 부여해야 합니다. 재사용 및 재배포는 모든 2차 저작물에 허용됩니다. 최대한 많은 청중에게 무료 정보를 제공한다는 목표에 따라 필요한 경우 제출된 모든 콘텐츠에 접근할 수 있는 모든 사람이 자유롭게 재사용할 수 있도록 라이선스를 부여해야 합니다.

사용자는 다음 이용 허락 조건에 동의합니다.
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''귀하가 저작권을 갖는 글:''' 귀하가 저작권을 갖는 글을 올릴 때, 귀하는 다음 라이선스에 따라 이용 허락을 하는 데 동의합니다.
# 크리에이티브 커먼즈 저작자표시-동일조건변경허락 4.0 국제 라이선스 (“CC BY-SA 4.0”), 및
# GNU 자유문서사용허가서(“GFDL”) (버전 없음, 변경 불가 부분 없음, 겉표지 텍스트 없음, 속표지 텍스트 없음)

재사용자는 라이선스 둘 중 하나 또는 둘 다를 준수할 수 있습니다.&lt;br /&gt;
유일한 예외는 프로젝트 버전 또는 기능에 다른 라이선스가 필요한 경우입니다. 이 경우 귀하는 프로젝트 에디션 또는 기능에 규정된 특정 라이선스에 따라 기여한 모든 텍스트에 라이선스를 부여하는 데 동의합니다.

이러한 사용이 각 라이선스의 조건을 준수하는 한 이러한 사용은 기여의 상업적 사용을 허용한다는 점에 유의하십시오. CC BY-SA 4.0이 적용되는 독자적 데이터베이스 권한을 소유한 경우 이러한 권리를 포기합니다. 예를 들어, 이는 귀하가 프로젝트에 기여한 사실이 귀속 없이 자유롭게 재사용될 수 있음을 의미합니다.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''저작자표시:''' 저작자표시는 이 이용 허락에서 중요합니다. 재단은 이것을 저작자로 인정 받아야 하는 자(자신과 같은 저작자)에게 저작자 표시를 해 주는 것이라 생각합니다. 글을 써서 기여하면, 사용자는 다음 방식에 따라 저작자로 표시되는 것에 동의합니다:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;자신이 기여한 문서를 가리키는 하이퍼링크(가능한 경우)나 URL을 표시(각각의 문서는 모든 저작자와 편집자를 나열한 문서 역사가 있기 때문입니다.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;자유롭게 접근 가능하고 해당 라이선스를 준수하며 프로젝트 웹사이트에서의 저작자 표시와 동일하게 저작자를 표시하는 다른 안정적인 온라인 복제 문서를 가리키는 하이퍼링크(가능한 경우)나 URL을 통해; 또는&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;또는 모든 저작자의 목록을 공개 (단, 매우 사소하거나 무관한 기여를 한 편집자는 제외될 수 있음을 알아 두십시오.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''글 가져오기:''' 사용자는 다른 곳에서 찾았거나 다른 사람과 함께 작성한 글을 가져올 수 있습니다. 하지만 그럴 때는 사용자는 그 글이 CC BY-SA 라이선스(혹은 위에서 언급한 대로, 개별 프로젝트에서 예외적으로 요구하는 경우 다른 라이선스)에 호환되는 라이선스에 따른다는 것을 보장해야 합니다. 호환 가능한 라이선스 목록은 [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]를 참조하여 주십시오. 오직 GFDL로만 이용 가능한 콘텐츠는 가져올 수 없습니다.&lt;br /&gt;

당신은 CC 라이선스에 따라 텍스트를 가져오면 저작권자가 적당하게 인정되어야 한다고 동의합니다. 이러한 신용은 일반적으로 페이지 역사 (위키미디어 내부 복사와 같은) 를 통해 주어지는 경우, 텍스트를 수입할 때 페이지 역사에 기록되는 편집 요약에 배정하는 것이 충분합니다. 배정 요구 사항은 특정 상황 (허가를 관계없이) 에 대해 너무 침입적일 때, 위키미디어 커뮤니티가 수입 텍스트가 그 이유로 사용할 수 없다고 결정하는 경우가 있을 수 있습니다.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''글이 아닌 미디어 자료:''' 프로젝트에 있는 글이 아닌 미디어 자료들은 무제한적00인 재사용과 재배포를 허용하는 일반적 목적을 충족하는 다양한 라이선스에 따라 이용할 수 있습니다. 사용자는 글이 아닌 미디어 자료에 기여할 경우, 재단의 [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|라이선스 정책]]에 설명된 것과 같이 라이선스 조건을 충족해야 하며, 자신이 기여하는 특정 프로젝트에서 요구하는 조건 역시 충족해야만 합니다. 또한 위키미디어 공용에 글이 아닌 미디어 자료에 기여하는 것에 대한 자세한 정보는 [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|위키미디어 공용 라이선스 정책]]을 참고하시기 바랍니다.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''라이선스 철회 금지:''' 사용자의 라이선스 조항에 의한 경우 외에는, 사용자는 재단 서비스를 더 이상 이용하지 않는다고 해도, 일방적으로 라이선스를 철회하거나 프로젝트에 기여한 글 혹은 글이 아닌 미디어 자료에 대해 이용 약관에서 부여한 라이선스의 무효화를 주장하지 않는 것에 동의합니다.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''퍼블릭 도메인 콘텐츠:''' 퍼블릭 도메인인 콘텐츠는 환영입니다. 하지만 귀하가 콘텐츠의 퍼블릭 도메인 상태가 미합중국의 법과 특정 프로젝트에서 요구하는 법 모두에 부합한다는 것을 확인해 주는 것이 중요합니다. 귀하가 퍼블릭 도메인에 있는 콘텐츠를 기여할 때는, 해당 컨텐츠가 퍼블릭 도메인 상태에 있음을 귀하가 보증하는 것이며, 적절하게 이를 표시하는 데 동의하는 것입니다.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''재사용:''' 재단에서 호스팅하는 콘텐츠를 재사용하는 것은 얼마든지 환영입니다. 다만 &quot;공정 사용&quot;이나 저작권법에서 규정한 비슷한 조항에 따라 기부된 콘텐츠는 예외입니다. 저작물의 모든 재사용은 그에 대한 라이선스 조항을 준수해야 합니다.&lt;br /&gt;

위키미디어 공동체에서 작성한 문서를 재사용하거나 재배포할 때, 귀하는 저작자를 아래의 방식 중 하나로 표시하는 데 동의합니다.
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;하이퍼링크(가능한 경우) 또는 재사용하는 페이지의 URL을 통해 제공(각 페이지에는 모든 기여자, 작성자 및 편집자가 나열된 역사 페이지가 있습니다).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;자유롭게 접근 가능하고 라이선스를 준수하며 위키미디어 프로젝트에서의 저작자 표시와 동일하게 저작자를 표시하는 다른 안정적인 온라인 복제 문서를 가리키는 하이퍼링크(가능한 경우)나 URL을 표시&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;또는 모든 저작자의 목록을 공개 (단, 매우 사소하거나 무관한 기여를 한 편집자는 제외될 수 있음을 알아 두십시오.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

글을 다른 곳에서 가져온 것이라면, (위의 &quot;글 가져오기&quot;에서 설명했듯이) 콘텐츠가 GFDL이 아닌 CC BY-SA 호환 라이선스로 이용허락될 수 있습니다. 이 경우 사용자는 호환되는 CC BY-SA 라이선스를 따르는 데에 동의하며 GFDL로 재라이선스할 선택권이 없습니다. 사용자가 재사용하거나 재배포하고자 하는 콘텐츠에 적용되는 라이선스를 정하려면 문서 하단과 문서 역사, 토론 문서를 검토해야 합니다.

또한 다른 곳에서 해당 프로젝트로 가져온 글의 경우는 추가적인 저작자표시 조건을 가진 라이선스 하에 있을 수 있습니다. 사용자는 추가적인 저작자표시 조건에 대해 명확히 표시하는 데 동의합니다. 프로젝트에 따라 그런 조건은 문서의 일부나 전부가 다른 곳에서 가져온 것임을 알리는 배너나 다른 표기로 나타날 수 있습니다. 그런 표기가 보일 경우, 자료를 재사용하려는 사용자는 이를 존중해야 합니다.

어떠한 글이 아닌 미디어 자료에 대해서도, 사용자는 저작물의 라이선스 규정(저작물을 클릭해서 파일 설명 문서에서 라이선스 문단을 확인하거나 저작물의 관련 출처 문서를 살펴보면 알 수 있음)을 준수하는 데 동의합니다. 재단에서 호스팅하는 어떤 콘텐츠를 재사용할 때, 사용자는 저작물의 라이선스와 관련된 저작자표시 규정을 준수하는 데 동의합니다.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''재사용하는 저작물에 대한 수정 및 추가:''' 사용자가 프로젝트 웹 사이트에서 인용한 글을 수정하거나 추가할 때, 수정되거나 추가된 콘텐츠를 CC BY-SA 3.0 이상(또는 위에서 설명한 바와 같이 특정 프로젝트에서 특별히 요구하는 다른 이용 허락)에 따라 이용허락하는 데 동의합니다.&lt;br /&gt;

사용자가 프로젝트 웹 사이트에서 찾은 글이 아닌 미디어 자료를 수정하는 경우에는, 수정되거나 추가된 콘텐츠를 원저작물의 라이선스를 준용하여 이용허락을 하는 것에 동의합니다.&lt;br /&gt;

글과 글이 아닌 미디어 자료 모두에 대해 원저작물이 수정되었다는 점을 분명히 밝히는 데 동의합니다. 위키에서 글인 콘텐츠를 사용할 경우, 가져온 글을 편집하였음을 문서 역사에 표시하는 것으로 충분합니다. 재배포하는 복제본이나 수정본에 대해, 사용자는 저작물에 어떤 이용 허락이 부여되었는지를 이용 허락 사본이나 이용 허락 전문을 가리키는 하이퍼링크나 URL과 함께 설명하는 이용 허락 고지를 포함하는 데에 동의합니다.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

위키미디어 재단은 재단에서 호스팅하는 콘텐츠는 사용자들이 법적 책임을 질 우려 없이 이용할 수 있고 다른 사람의 지식재산권을 침해하지 않는다는 점을 보장하고자 합니다. 사용자 그리고 다른 창작자와 저작권자에 공정한 대우를 하기 위한 재단의 정책은 디지털 밀레니엄 저작권법(DMCA)의 절차에 따른 저작권 침해 통보에 대응하는 것입니다. DMCA 규정에 따라, 적절한 경우 저작권 침해를 반복하는 재단 시스템과 네트워크의 사용자와 계정 소유자의 계정을 말소할 것입니다.

하지만, 모든 저작권 침해 통보가 유효하거나 선의로 한 것은 아니라는 점을 재단도 알고 있습니다. 그러한 경우, 재단은 사용자가 DMCA 삭제 요청이 부당하다고 판단하는 경우 그에 대한 이의 제기를 할 수 있도록 적극적으로 협력할 것입니다. DMCA 통보문이 부적절하게 제출되었다고 생각한다면 무엇을 해야 할지에 대한 자세한 정보를 얻고 싶다면 $lumendb (이전에는 $chilling)를 확인하십시오.

자신이 콘텐츠의 소유자이며, 자신의 허락 없이 콘텐츠가 프로젝트에서 부당하게 사용되고 있을 경우,  해당 콘텐츠를 DMCA에 따라 삭제할 것을 통지서를 제출하여 요구할 수 있습니다. 삭제 요청을 하려면  재단 이메일 주소 {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} 로 이메일을 발송하거나 [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|지정 대리인에게 우편]]을 보내 주시기 바랍니다.

대신, 사용자는 DMCA에 규정된 과정보다는 자주 빠르고 효과적으로 저작권 문제를 처리하는 재단 공동체에 이를 요청할 수도 있습니다. 이 경우 사용자는 저작권 문제를 설명하는 글을 남길 수 있습니다. 덜 엄격하며 권위적이지 않은 프로젝트 별 관련 절차 목록은  [[:m:Copyright problems|저작권 문제 페이지]]를 보십시오. DMCA 청구를 제기하기 전에, 공동체 이메일 {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} 로 이메일을 보내는 방법도 있습니다.

==10. 웹 사이트 관리==

공동체는 프로젝트 별로 적용되는 정책을 만들고 집행하는 데 중대한 역할을 합니다. 위키미디어 재단은 정책과 그 집행에 있어 공동체의 결정에 간섭하지 않는 편입니다.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
불법 콘텐츠나 기타 이유로 이용 약관(참조로 포함된 모든 정책 및 기타 문서를 포함)을 위반하는 콘텐츠를 [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|직접 연락하여]] 신고할 수 있습니다. 그러나 일반적으로 해당 프로젝트의 커뮤니티에 직접 요청하는 것이 가능합니다. 이는 더 효율적일 수 있으며, 사용자 커뮤니티를 활성화하려는 우리의 프로젝트 목표와 더 부합합니다.
&lt;/div&gt;


각 프로젝트는 일반적으로 추가 안내를 위한 &quot;도움말&quot; 또는 &quot;연락처&quot; 페이지 또는 문제 보고를 위한 특정 도구를 제공합니다. 또는 의심스러운 경우 {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}로 이메일을 보내거나 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|자원 대응 팀 페이지]]에서 보다 언어에 특화된 주소로 커뮤니티 구성원에게 도움을 요청할 수 있습니다. 이러한 사서함은 재단이 아닌 프로젝트 사용자가 모니터링 합니다. 따라서 위협을 받거나 법적 요구를 받아서는 안 됩니다.

문제에 대해 재단에 연락하면 일반적으로 기존 커뮤니티 주도 메커니즘이 문제를 조사하고 적절한 경우 해결할 수 있는지 여부와 방법을 탐색합니다.

특이한 경우, 프로젝트의 중대한 방해 또는 위험한 행동으로 인해 특히 문제가 있는 사용자 또는 특히 문제가 있는 콘텐츠를 다루어야 할 필요가 발생할 수 있습니다. 그러한 경우, 우리는 우리의 독자적인 판단에 따라 (또는 법적으로 의무화 될 경우) 다음과 같은 권리를 보유합니다.

* 프로젝트 또는 우리의 서비스 사용에 대해 (a) 이용 약관, 프로젝트 편집 정책, 또는 기타 적용 가능한 법률이나 정책 위반 여부를 확인하거나, (b) 적용 가능한 법률, 법적 절차, 또는 적절한 정부의 요청을 준수하기 위해 조사합니다.
*사기, 허위 또는 검증할 수 없는 정보, 보안 또는 기술적인 문제를 탐지하고, 예방하거나, 사용자 지원 요청에 응답합니다.
*이 이용 약관을 위반한 사용자의 기여에 대한 접근을 거부, 복구, 비활성화 하거나 제한합니다.
* 이 이용 약관을 위반한 사용자에 대해 편집이나 기여를 금지하거나, 불법적인 자료를 반복적으로 게시하는 등 해당 법률에 따라 사용자의 계정이나 접근을 차단합니다. 이는 인권 원칙에 부합하는 방식으로 처리됩니다
* 이 이용 약관을 위반한 사용자에 대해 법적 조치를 취합니다 (법 집행 기관에 신고 포함)
* 프로젝트 웹사이트를 적절하게 운영하고, 우리와 사용자, 라이선스 제공자, 파트너 및 대중의 권리, 재산, 안전을 보호할 수 있도록 관리합니다.

이 재단의 중재 활동은 소프트웨어(예: 트래픽 플러딩(&quot;서비스 거부&quot;) 보호)에 의해 알림을 받거나 수행될 수 있습니다. 이러한 경우, 일반적으로 인간 리뷰가 제공되며, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|요청 시]] 가능합니다.

사용자와 프로젝트의 이익을 고려하여, 이 섹션에 따라 계정이나 접근이 차단된 경우, 해당 개인은 명시적인 허가 없이 동일한 프로젝트에서 다른 계정을 생성하거나 접근을 시도할 수 없습니다. 커뮤니티의 권한을 제한하지 않으면서, 재단 자체는 이 이용 약관이나 커뮤니티 정책을 위반하는 행동을 초래하지 않는 선의의 비판만으로는 사용자가 편집이나 기여를 금지하거나 계정이나 접근을 차단하지 않습니다.

위키미디어 공동체와 구성원도 특정 프로젝트에 적용되는 공동체나 (재단 정책에서 허용한다면) 정책을 위반하는 사용자에 대해 경고, 조사, 차단, 추방하는 조치를 취할 수 있습니다. 사용자는 특정 프로젝트의 공동체에서 만든 분쟁 조정 기구(예로 중재위원회)의 최종 결정에 따르는 것에 동의합니다. 이 결정에는 특정 프로젝트의 정책에 규정된 제재 조치를 동반할 수 있습니다.

여러 프로젝트에서 계정이나 접근이 차단된 특히 문제 있는 사용자는 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|전역 추방 정책]]에 따라 모든 프로젝트에서 추방 대상이 될 수 있습니다. 이사회 결의안이나 이 이용 약관과는 대조적으로, 하나 또는 다수(예로 전역 추방 정책)의 프로젝트를 규율하는 공동체에서 수립한 정책은 해당 공동체에서 자체 절차를 거쳐 수정될 수 있습니다.

이 조항에 의한 계정이나 접근 차단 또는 사용자 추방은 이 이용 약관 제13절에 따라야 합니다.

문제가 있는 콘텐츠에 대한 보고에 대해 우리가 만족스럽게 조치를 취하지 않았다고 생각하거나, 재단의 조정 조치에 대해 이의를 제기하고자 하는 경우, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|항소를 제출]]할 수 있습니다. 항소 절차에 대한 다른 정보는 해당 시점이나 프로젝트 별 도움말 페이지에서 설명될 수 있습니다.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
우리는 사용자가나 제3자가 보낸 보고서 또는 기타 서신에 대한 처리(불법 또는 기타 문제가 있는 콘텐츠나 행동에 대한 것, 또는 조정 조치에 대한 항소 요청을 포함)에 대해, 그 서신이 악의적이거나 반복적, 근거 없는, 그리고/또는 학대적인 경우 이를 일시적이거나 영구적으로 중단할 권리를 보유합니다. 적절한 경우, 귀하의 이메일 주소가 우리의 이메일 시스템에서 차단될 수 있으며, 이 차단 기간 동안 추가적인 서신을 원할 경우 [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|우편 주소]]로 연락해야 합니다. 덜 심각한 경우(예: 하나 이상의 근거 없는 불만에 대해 세 통의 정중한 이메일까지)는 일반적으로 일시적인 조치일 가능성이 큽니다. 더 빈번하거나 더 학대적인 커뮤니케이션은 영구적인 조치를 초래할 가능성이 큽니다.

==11. 이사회 결의안과 프로젝트 정책==

위키미디어 재단 이사회는 때때로 [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|공식적인 정책]]을 발표합니다. 이 정책 가운데 일부는 특정 프로젝트나 언어판을 구속하며 그럴 때에는 그 정책을 준수하여야 합니다.

&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==12. API 약관 ==

저희는 사용자가 자유 지식을 촉진하는 제품을 개발할 수 있도록 돕기 위해 API 세트와 관련 문서 및 도구를 제공합니다. API를 사용함으로써, 귀하는 [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|사용자-대리자 규정]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|로봇 규정]], [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:에티켓]]를 포함한 API 사용을 규율하는 모든 관련 정책을 준수할 것에 동의하는 것입니다. 이 정책들(통칭하여 &quot;API 문서&quot;)은 참조를 통해 본 이용 약관에 통합됩니다.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==13. 종료==

저희는 여러분이 계속 프로젝트에 참여하고 기여하기를 바라지만, 언제든 원하시면 서비스를 중단할 수 있습니다. 그러나 특정 상황(바라건대 발생하지 않기를 바랍니다)에서는 저희 또는 위키미디어 커뮤니티나 그 구성원이 (제10조에 설명된 대로) 일부 또는 전체 서비스를 종료하거나, 이 이용 약관을 해지하거나, 귀하의 계정이나 접근을 차단하거나, 사용자로서의 이용을 금지해야 할 수도 있습니다. 귀하의 계정이나 접근이 어떤 이유로든 차단되거나 종료되더라도, 귀하의 공개 기여와 프로젝트와 관련된 활동 기록(저희에게 보낸 모든 서신 포함)은 적용 가능한 정책에 따라 영향을 받지 않으며, 여전히 프로젝트의 공개 콘텐츠를 읽기 위한 목적으로 공개 페이지에 접근할 수 있습니다. 그러나 이러한 상황에서는 계정이나 설정에 접근하지 못할 수 있습니다. 또한, 본 이용 약관의 다른 조항과 상관없이, 저희는 이유 유무 또는 사전 통지 여부와 관계없이 언제든 서비스를 중단하거나 종료할 권리를 보유합니다. 사용이 금지되거나 차단되거나 중단된 이후에도, 제1조, 3조, 4조, 6조, 7조, 9~16조, 18조를 포함한 관련 조항에 대해서는 본 이용 약관이 계속 효력을 유지합니다.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. 분쟁과 관할&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''눈에 띄게 하여 강조함''

재단은 사용자와 심각한 분쟁이 없기를 바라지만, 분쟁이 있을 경우에는 사용자는 프로젝트나 위키미디어 재단에서 제공하는 분쟁 해결 절차나 방식을 따라 해결책을 강구하기를 당부합니다. 사용자가 재단을 상대로 소송을 제기하려면 캘리포니아 주 샌프란시스코 카운티에 있는 주 법원이나 연방 법원에 소송을 배타적으로 제기하여 해결하는 데 동의합니다. 또한 사용자는 캘리포니아 주의 법과 적용 가능한 한도 내에서 미국 연방 법이 이 이용 약관 및 재단과 사용자 사이(국제사법 원칙 제외)에 발생하는 법적 주장에 적용되는 데 동의합니다. 사용자는 재단이나 이 이용 약관에 관련한 법적 소송이나 절차에서 캘리포니아 주 샌프란시스코 카운티에 있는 법원의 대인 관할을 따르는 데 동의하며 재판적이 그곳이라는 데에 동의합니다.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
분쟁이 발생한 후 신속하게 처리하기 위해, 충돌하는 법령에 관계없이, 재단 서비스 사용이나 이 이용 약관에 관련하여 사용자가 제기할 수 있는 어떤 주장이나 소송 사유라도 적용 가능한 소멸시효 이내에 또는 더 빠르다면 그 주장이나 소송 사유를 설명하는 관련 사실이 상당히 주의한다면(그렇지 않을 경우 영원히 드러나지 않을 것임) 밝혀질 수도 있은 후 1년 이내에 제기되어야 합니다.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
이 이용 약관의 제4조에 따라, 귀하는 공개되지 않은 유료 기여 위반 사항을 재단의 재량에 따라 마케팅 회사 중재(Marketing Company Mediation)를 통해 해결할 것에 동의합니다. 마케팅 회사 중재는 '''구속력 있는''' 중재로, 반나절 또는 하루 동안의 중재 세션이 끝난 후에도 해결되지 않은 분쟁 항목이 있을 경우, 중재자가 이를 법적 구속력이 있는 결정으로 판결합니다. 이 중재는 전화 회의 또는 화상 회의를 통해 진행됩니다. 대면 회의가 필요한 경우, 마케팅 회사 중재는 캘리포니아주 샌프란시스코 카운티에서 진행됩니다. 중재/조정과 관련된 모든 비용과 경비는 당사자들이 동일하게 분담합니다.

귀하는 마케팅 회사 중재의 일환으로, 사용된 계정, 영향을 받은 문서, 해당 서비스를 구매한 클라이언트를 포함하여 공개되지 않은 유료 편집 활동과 관련된 모든 문서를 제때 제공하는 등 재단과 협력할 것에 동의합니다.

마케팅 회사 중재는 중재자가 조정자로 전환되는 경우 연방법 중재법(Federal Arbitration Act)의 적용을 받으며 이에 의해 규율됩니다. 승소한 당사자는 변호사 비용(마케팅 회사 중재의 적용 가능성을 판단하고 구속력 있는 결과를 집행하기 위해 필요한 모든 비용 포함) 및 권리 조사와 집행과 관련된 모든 비용을 회수할 권리를 가집니다. 당사자는 제기한 모든 주장에서 성공하지 못하더라도 &quot;승소&quot;로 간주될 수 있습니다.

어떠한 이유로든 이 마케팅 회사 중재 요구 사항 전체가 집행 불가능하다고 판단될 경우, 귀하는 이 섹션 초반에 설명된 방식에 따라 모든 분쟁을 해결하는 데 동의합니다.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;15. 면책 조항&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

위키미디어 재단은 광범위한 사람들에게 교육ㆍ정보 콘텐츠를 공급하려 최선을 다하고 있습니다만, 사용자가 재단 서비스를 이용할 때는 사용자가 책임을 집니다. 재단은 서비스를 &quot;있는 그대로&quot; 및 &quot;이용할 수 있는 대로&quot; 제공하며, 법령 위반 여부, 특정한 목적에 맞는 적합성 여부, 상품성에 대한 묵시적인 보증을 포함한 어떠한 형태의 명시적 또는 묵시적 보증에 관해 분명히 부인합니다. 재단 서비스가 사용자의 필요를 충족하거나 안전하거나 비밀을 보장하거나 중단이 없거나 시의적절하거나 정확하거나 무결하다거나 사용자 정보가 안전하다고 재단은 보증하지 않습니다.

재단은 제3자의 콘텐츠와 데이터, 행동에 대해 책임지지 않으며, 사용자는 어떠한 제3자에 대한 어떠한 주장과 관련하거나 발생하는 어떠한 청구와 손해(확인 여부와 무관) 배상에 대해 재단과 임직원, 대리인에게 책임을 묻지 않습니다. 재단이나 재단 서비스에서 사용자가 취득한 구두나 서면의 조언이나 정보는 이 이용 약관에서 명시하지 않은 어떠한 보증도 발생하지 않습니다.

사용자가 재단 서비스를 이용하면서 다운로드한 어떠한 자료라도 자신의 재량으로 위험을 감수하며, 그런 자료를 다운로드해서 발생하는 사용자의 컴퓨터 시스템 손상이나 데이터 손실은 사용자가 모두 책임져야 합니다. 사용자는 재단이 재단 서비스에 의해 유지되는 콘텐츠나 통신을 삭제하거나 저장하거나 전송하지 못한 것에 대한 책임이 없다는 점에 동의합니다. 재단은 재단의 재량에 따라 언제든지 통보 여부와 무관하게 이용과 저장에 한도를 설정할 권리가 있습니다.

일부 국가나 관할 구역에서는 이 절의 면책 조항을 허용하지 않으므로, 거주국가의 준거법에 따라 일부 또는 전부가 적용되지 않을 수 있습니다.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. 책임 제한&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

위키미디어 재단은  직·간접적, 부수적, 특별, 결과적 또는 징벌적 손해에 대해 사용자나 어떤 제3자에게 수익의 손실, 신용, 이용, 데이터, 또는 다른 무형의 손실을 포함하여 그런 손해의 가능성을 재단에 고지하더라도 책임지지 않습니다. 재단의 금전 부담은 어떤 경우에도 모두 합쳐 미화 1천달러(USD 1000.00)를 초과하지 않아야 합니다. 준거법에서 책임이나 부수적 또는 결과적 손해의 제한이나 배제를 허용하지 않을 경우, 위의 제한이나 배제는 적용되지 않을 수 있지만, 재단의 책임은 준거법에서 허용하는 최대한으로 제한될 것입니다.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|17}}
&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==17. 이용 약관 개정==

프로젝트를 성장시키고 유지하려면 공동체가 반드시 참여해야 하듯이, 재단은 이 이용 약관이 사용자를 제대로 도우려면 공동체가 꼭 참여해야 한다고 생각합니다. 이는 공정한 계약을 위해서도 중요합니다. 따라서 재단은 이 이용 약관과 미래의 중요한 개정본을 공동체에 제시하여 최소 30일 동안 의견을 물을 것입니다. 제시된 개정안이 중대한 것이라면, 그 개정안을 최소 3개 언어(재단 재량으로 선택)로 번역한 후에 30일을 더 주어 의견을 물을 것입니다. 공동체에서는 개정안을 적절한 다른 언어로 번역해 줄 것을 권장합니다. 법적 또는 행정적인 이유로 인한 변경, 잘못된 내용 정정, 공동체 의견을 반영한 변경에 대해 재단은 최소 3일간 알릴 것입니다.

이 이용 약관을 가끔 변경해야 할 수도 있기 때문에, 재단은 프로젝트 웹사이트와 [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]] 알림을 통해 변경에 대해서 알립니다. 다만, 재단은 사용자가 주기적으로 이용 약관의 최신판을 확인할 것을 요청합니다. 새 이용 약관이 홍보 및 의견 수렴 기간이 지나고 공식적으로 시행된 이후에 사용자가 재단 서비스를 계속 이용할 경우 새 이용 약관을 수락한 것으로 간주합니다. 위키미디어 재단과 다른 사용자를 보호하기 위해, 사용자가 재단의 이용 약관에 동의하지 않는다면, 사용자는 재단의 서비스를 이용할 수 없습니다.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==18. 기타 조항==

이 이용 약관은 사용자와 위키미디어 재단 사이에 고용, 대리인, 제휴, 공동관리 또는 합작 사업 관계를 성립하지 않습니다. 유럽 경제 지역법, 영국법 또는 유사한 개념을 포함하는 기타 법률의 목적상, 귀하는 서비스를 이용할 때 재단의 &quot;권한&quot;에 따라 행동하지 않습니다. 사용자가 재단과 별도로 합의서에 서명하지 않았다면, 이 이용 약관이 사용자와 재단의 모든 합의 사항이 됩니다. 이 이용 약관과 사용자와 재단 간에 서명된 합의서에 충돌되는 사항이 있다면, 서명된 합의서가 우선합니다.

사용자는 재단이 이용 약관 개정을 포함한 알림을 이메일이나 일반 우편, 프로젝트나 프로젝트 웹 사이트 게시물로 제공할 수 있다는 점에 동의합니다.

어떤 경우에 이 이용 약관의 조항을 적용하거나 집행하지 않더라도, 이는 해당 조항을 포기하는 것이 아닙니다.

사용자는 재단과 서면으로 합의한 바가 없다면 사용자는 재단이나 공동체, 위키미디어 프로젝트, 프로젝트 에디션에 제공한 어떠한 활동이나 기여, 또는 아이디어에 대한 보상을 바라지 않는다는 점을 이해합니다.

이 이용 약관에 충돌하는 어떠한 조항이 있더라도 위키미디어 재단과 사용자는 프로젝트에서 사용하는 어떤 자유 라이선스의 요건과 적용 조항도 그런 자유 라이선스가 이 이용 약관에서 허용되면 수정하지 않는 것에 동의합니다.

이 이용 약관은 미국 영어로 작성되었습니다. 재단은 이 이용 약관이 정확하게 번역되었기를 바라지만, 의미상 원문인 영문판과 번역본 사이에 다른 점이 있다면 원문인 영문판이 우선 적용됩니다.

이 이용 약관의 어떠한 조항이나 조항의 일부라도 위법하거나 무효이거나 집행할 수 없다면, 해당 조항이나 그 일부는 이 이용 약관에서 분리될 수 있는 것으로 간주되어 허용되는 최대한으로 집행될 것이며, 이 이용 약관의 모든 다른 조항은 계속 효력을 지닙니다.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==감사합니다!==

이용 약관을 시간을 내어 읽어 주셔서 감사합니다. 재단은 사용자가 프로젝트에 기여하고 재단 서비스를 이용하는 데 대해 매우 기쁩니다. 기여함으로써 사용자는 정말로 거대한 어떤 것, 자세히 말하면 정보에 접근하기 어려운 수백만 명에게 교육과 정보를 제공하는 공동 편집 참고 프로젝트의 중대한 집합체이자 매우 숭고한 목적 아래에 마음이 맞고 헌신적인 사람들의 활기찬 공동체를 만드는 데 일조합니다.

== Notices received from search engines ==
The information below details notices received by the Wikimedia Foundation when search engines intend to indefinitely remove links to Wikipedia articles and other online Wikimedia media content from their results. We have also received removal notices concerning other types of pages, such as discussion and user pages. The number of links removed for each type of page for which we have received removal notices can be found in the table below.

We do not know who requested each removal. Please note that the subject of the affected webpage may not be the individual or organization that made the underlying request -- we believe anyone can request the removal of a webpage from search results.

The community is, as always, free to exercise its editorial discretion and address the referred content as appropriate under community policies and practices.
Search engines do not inform delisted service providers (like us) what search terms we have been delisted for, or the reason for the delisting, so we do not know whether specific changes to the content might affect the delisting.

After a 2023 ruling in a Swedish court (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:62022CJ0026), Google has stopped informing website owners what pages it has removed from its search results under European “right to be forgotten” rules (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/feb/15/google-stops-notifying-publishers-of-right-to-be-forgotten-removals-from-search-results ). Due to the lack of searchable information, we will not post notices that do not contain URL information, however all notices received will continue to be tallied on the ‘Content removal notices for all wikis’ tables listed in this page.

We are not aware of other search engines' processes or the number of requests they are receiving and granting. Search engines are not required by law to provide notices, so we appreciate the companies who share our commitment to free speech and transparency. Compelled censorship is unacceptable, but compelled censorship without notice is unforgivable.

'''''דמיינו עולם שבו לכל אדם יש גישה חופשית לכל הידע האנושי. זו המחויבות שלנו.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|תנאי השימוש שלנו]]

ברוכים הבאים לויקימדיה! קרן ויקימדיה (באנגלית: &lt;span dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.&lt;/span&gt;; להלן &quot;אנו&quot; או &quot;אנחנו&quot;) היא מוסד ללא כוונת רווח [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|שהחזון שלו]] הוא להעצים ולהפעיל אנשים ברחבי העולם במטרה לאסוף ולפתח תוכן ב[[:w:he:תוכן חופשי|רישיון חופשי]] או בנחלת הכלל, ולהפיצו באופן יעיל ועולמי, ללא תשלום.

כדי לתמוך בקהילתנו התוססת, אנו מספקים תשתית ומסגרת ארגונית חיונית לפיתוח מיזמי ויקי רב־לשוניים ומהדורות שלהם (כפי שמוסבר ב[[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|דף מיזמי ויקימדיה]] שלנו) (להלן: &quot;מיזמים&quot;) וליוזמות אחרות שתורמות למימושה של מטרה זו. אנו חותרים לכך שהתוכן החינוכי והאינפורמטיבי במיזמים יהיה זמין באינטרנט בחינם, ויישאר כך תמיד.

אנו מקדמים אותך (&quot;אתה&quot; או ה&quot;משתמש&quot;) בברכה כקורא, או כתורם למיזמי ויקימדיה, ומעודדים אותך להצטרף לקהילת ויקימדיה. אולם בטרם תצטרף לפעילות, אנו מבקשים שתקרא ותסכים לתנאי השימוש הבאים (&quot;תנאי השימוש&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
תנאי שימוש אלה מסבירים לך על השירותים הניתנים לציבור בקרן ויקימדיה, על יחסנו אליך כמשתמש, ועל הזכויות והחובות המנחות את שני הצדדים. אנו משמשים בית לכמות אדירה של תוכן חינוכי ואינפורמטיבי, אשר כולו נתרם והתאפשר על־ידי משתמשים כמוך. באופן כללי אנו איננו תורמים, מנטרים, או מוחקים תוכן (להוציא חריגים נדירים, כגון תחת מדיניות כמו תנאי שימוש אלה, תחת הגבלות חוקיות, או כאשר ניצבים בפני איום מידי של נזק רציני). משמעות הדבר היא שהשליטה בעריכה היא בידיים שלך ושל עמיתיך המשתמשים אשר יוצרים ומנהלים את התוכן.

הקהילה – רשת המשתמשים הבונים את המיזמים ו/או את אתרי האינטרנט שלהם (להלן &quot;אתרי המיזמים&quot;) ומשתמשים בהם – היא המשאב העיקרי שבאמצעותו מושגים יעדינו. הקהילה תורמת למיזמים ולאתרי המיזמים ועוזרת לשלוט בהם. הקהילה גם אחראית על התפקיד החיוני של יצירת מדיניות ואכיפתה בכל מיזם (כגון המהדורות בשפות השונות של מיזם ויקיפדיה או המיזם הרב־לשוני ויקישיתוף).

אנו מקבלים אותך, המשתמש, בברכה להצטרף כתורם, עורך או כותב, אולם עליך לנהוג בהתאם למדיניות המקובלת בכל אחת מהמהדורות העצמאיות של המיזמים, כולל [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|קוד ההתנהגות האוניברסלי]] (UCoC) החל על כל מהדורות המיזמים. הגדול במיזמינו הוא ויקיפדיה, אבל יש לנו גם מיזמים אחרים, שלכל אחד מהם מטרות ודרכי עבודה שונות. לכל מיזם יש צוות של תורמים, עורכים או כותבים שעובדים יחד כדי ליצור ולנהל את התוכן של אותו המיזם. אתה מוזמן להצטרף לצוותים אלה ולעבוד אִתם כדי לשפר את המיזמים. מאחר שאנו מחויבים ליצירתו של תוכן חופשי ונגיש לציבור, התוכן שאתה תורם נעשה זמין ברישיון חופשי או מפורסם בנחלת הכלל.

אנא היה ער לכך שכל התרומות והעריכות שלך וכן השימוש החוזר שלך בתוכן של ויקימדיה הם באחריותך המשפטית לפי חוקי ארצות הברית ולפי כל חוק מתאים אחר (אשר עשוי לכלול את החוקים החלים במקום שבו אתה או נושא עריכותיך נמצאים). פירושו של דבר הוא שחשוב שתנהג בזהירות בעת שאתה מפרסם או משנה תוכן או עושה בו שימוש חוזר. לאור אחריות זו, יש לנו מספר כללים לגבי מה שאסור לך לעשות, מרביתם נועדו להגנתך או להגנתם של משתמשים אחרים כמוך. אנא זכור שהתוכן שאנו מארחים מיועד למטרות מידע כללי בלבד, כך שאם אתה זקוק לייעוץ של מומחה בשאלה מסוימת (למשל בעניין רפואי, משפטי או כספי), כדאי שתבקש את עזרתו של איש מקצוע מתאים. כללנו בתנאי השימוש גם הערות והגבלות אחריות חשובות אחרות, ולכן, אנא קרא אותם במלואם.

למען הבהירות, ארגונים אחרים, כגון אגודות ו[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|עמותות ויקימדיה מקומיות]], העשויים להיות שותפים לנו במשימה, עדיין עצמאיים ונפרדים משפטית מקרן ויקימדיה. כל עוד לא נאמר אחרת על־ידי הקרן כצד מורשה באתר מיזם כלשהו, לארגונים אחרים אלה אין כל אחריות על הפעולות של אותו אתר מיזם או על תוכניו.

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. השירותים שלנו ==

קרן ויקימדיה מחויבת לעידוד הצמיחה, הפיתוח וההפצה של תוכן רב־לשוני חופשי, ולאירוח מלוא התוכן של מיזמים המבוססים על ויקי לטובת הציבור וללא גביית כל תשלום. מטרתנו היא לארח כמה מן המיזמים הגדולים ביותר בעולם בתחום יצירה ועריכה שיתופית של מאגרי מידע, [//www.wikimedia.org שניתן למצוא כאן]. אולם, אנו פועלים אך ורק כספק שרות אירוח, ומתחזקים בתפעול את התשתית והמסגרת הארגונית. תשתית ומסגרת אלה מאפשרות למשתמשים לבנות מיזמים של ויקימדיה על־ידי תרומת תוכן ועריכתו בעצמם. הן גם מאפשרות למשתמשים שלנו לעשות שימוש חוזר בתוכן זה. התשתית שאנו מתחזקים כוללת תשתית טכנולוגית ייעודית המאפשרת למשתמשים לקיים אינטראקציה תכנותית עם תוכן ולעשות בו שימוש חוזר במיזמים (המכונים &quot;ממשק תכנות יישומים&quot; או &quot;APIs&quot;) ובאפליקציות מובייל.

כפי שמופיע בשאר תנאי השימוש, השירותים שלנו כוללים את: [//www.wikimedia.org אתרי המיזמים שאנו מארחים], תשתית טכנולוגית שאנו מתחזקים וכל חלל טכני שאנו מארחים לצורך תחזוקה ושיפור המיזמים שלנו.

בשל תפקידנו הייחודי, ישנם כמה דברים שכדאי להיות מודעים אליהם כשאתם שוקלים את מערכת היחסים שלנו אתכם, המיזמים ומשתמשים אחרים:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''איננו נושאים בתפקיד עורך:''' כיוון שמיזמים נערכים באופן שיתופי, הרוב המכריע של התוכן שאנו מארחים נוצר על־ידי משתמשים, ואיננו נוטלים חלק בעריכה. פירושו של דבר הוא שבאופן כללי איננו מנטרים או עורכים את התוכן הנמצא באתרי המיזם, ואיננו לוקחים שום אחריות לתוכן זה. באופן דומה, אלא אם כן ציינו במפורש אחרת, איננו תומכים בעמדות או בדעות כלשהן המוצאות ביטוי בעזרת השירותים שאנו מספקים, ואיננו מייצגים או מבטיחים את האמינות, את הדיוק או את אמינות התוכן של המיזמים שנמסרים על־ידי הקהילה.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''חלה עליך אחריות לפעולות שלך:''' האחריות המשפטית על העריכות ועל התרומות שלך במיזמים חלה עליך, שימוש חוזר שלך בתוכן במיזמים, השימוש שלך בממשקי ה-API, והשימוש שלך בשירותים שלנו באופן כללי יותר. למען הגנתך כדאי לך לעשות זאת בזהירות ולהימנע מתרומה של תוכן שעשוי להוביל לחבות פליליות או אזרחיות לפי חוקים מתאימים כלשהם. למען הבהירות, חוק מתאים כולל לכל הפחות את החוקים של ארצות הברית של אמריקה ומדינת קליפורניה. עבור מדינות אחרות, הדבר נקבע על בסיס כל מקרה לגופו. אף־על־פי שלעתים איננו מסכימים עם פעולות כאלה, אנו מזהירים משתמשים - ובמיוחד את העורכים והתורמים, ומחברים - שאינם אמריקאים שהרשויות יכולות להחיל את החוקים של מדינות אחרות עליך, כולל חוקים מקומיים של מקום המגורים שלך או של המקום שבו ערכת או צפית בתוכן. איננו יכולים להציע שום הגנה, אחריות, חסינות או שיפוי כנגד יישום חוקים כאלה.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. מדיניות פרטיות ==

אנו מבקשים ממך לבדוק את [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|תנאי מדיניות פרטיות שלנו]], כדי שתהיה מודע לאופן שבו אנו אוספים ומשתמשים במידע שלך.

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''ייתכן שיהיו כאן חומרים שיעוררו את התנגדותך או ייראו לך שגויים:''' מכיוון שאנו מארחים מגוון רחב של תכנים שנערכו ונאספו על־ידי משתמשים אחרים, ייתכן שיימצאו כאן חומרים שייראו לך פוגעים, שגויים, מטעים, בעלי שמות לא נכונים או מעוררים התנגדות אחרת. לפיכך אנו מבקשים ממך להשתמש בשכל הישר ולהפעיל שיקול דעת בעת השימוש בשירותים שלנו.&lt;/li&gt;

::* חובה עליך לחשוף כל שם מעסיק, לקוח, את המוטב המיועד ואת ההשתייכות שלך ככל שאלה קשורים לתרומות שלך שאתה מקבל עבורן, או מצפה לקבל עבורן, תמורה. עליך לגלות זאת לפחות באחת מהדרכים הבאות:
:::* הצהרה בדף המשתמש שלך,
:::* הצהרה בדף השיחה שמלווה כל תרומה בתשלום, או
:::* הצהרה בתקציר העריכה שמלווה כל תרומה בתשלום.
::* בנוסף, אם אתם מפרסמים פרסום פומבי דרך שירותי עריכה של המיזמים בויקיפדיה בתמורה לתגמול מכל סוג שהוא, עליכם לחשוף את כל חשבונות הויקיפדיה בהם השתמשתם או תשתמשו עבור שירות זה בפרסום הפומבי בשירות הצד השלישי.
::* החוק המתאים, או מדיניות ספציפית למיזם וההנחיות של הקרן, כגון ההנחיות המתייחסות לניגוד עניינים, יכולים להטיל הגבלות נוספות על התרומות בתשלום או לדרוש גילוי מפורט יותר. לדוגמה, הפרת סימני מסחר של ויקימדיה (מוגדרים להלן בסעיף 6) לצורך פרסום שירותי עריכה בתשלום, הסרת גילויים על עריכות בתשלום שנחשפו כראוי בעבר, או יציאה מעריכה בתשלום באופן שהופך גילוי נאות לבלתי אפשרי בפועל, מהווים הפרה של סעיף זה.
::* קהילת מיזם ויקימדיה יכולה לאמץ מדיניות חלופית ביחס לתרומה בתשלום אשר עשויה להשלים או להחליף סעיף זה. אם מיזם מאמץ מדיניות גילוי שונה, אתה רשאי להיצמד לתנאי המדיניות הזאת במקום לדרישות שבסעיף זה (כותרת &quot;תרומות ששולמו ללא גילוי&quot;) בעת תרומה למיזם הזה.

:: למידע נוסף, נא לקרוא את [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|השאלות והתשובות בנושא גילוי של תרומות בתשלום]].


עריכה לא גלויה על ידי משתמשים המקבלים פיצוי יוצרת נטל בלתי סביר על עורכים מתנדבים [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|אשר חוקרים ואוכפים את מדיניות הקהילה]]. לכן, עבור הפרות של סעיף זה הקשורות לעריכה בתשלום שלא גלויה, הנך מסכים להיכנע ל&quot;Med-Arb&quot; מחייב (&quot;גישור של חברת שיווק&quot;) כמתואר בסעיף 14 של תנאי שימוש אלה.

אנו שומרים על זכות אכיפה בהתאם לשיקולים שלנו ובהתאם להוראות בסעיף 4 של תנאי שימוש אלה. במידת הצורך, אכיפת תנאים אלה עשויה לכלול פעולות שאינן מפורטות ב[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|מדיניות הפעולות המשרדיות]] של קרן ויקימדיה. אם נדרשת אכיפה בנסיבות חדשות, נעשה מאמץ תוך שנה אחת (1) לכל היותר לעדכן את מדיניות הפעולות המשרדיות כדי לקטלג את סוג הפעולה החדשה.

== 7. רישוי התוכן ==

על מנת להגדיל את המאגר השיתופי של ידע חופשי ותרבות חופשית, כל המשתמשים התורמים למיזמים או למיזמי האתרים נדרשים להעניק רשות לציבור הרחב להפיץ מחדש ולעשות שימוש חוזר בתרומותיהם באופן חופשי, כל עוד השימוש מיוחס כראוי וניתנת רשות זהה לחזור ולעשות שימוש חוזר ולהפיץ מחדש כל יצירה נגזרת. מתוך הדבקות במטרתנו לספק מידע חופשי לקהל רחב ככל האפשר, אנו דורשים שבעת הצורך כל התוכן יפורסם ברישיון שיאפשר לכל מי שירצה לגשת אליו להשתמש בו באופן חופשי.

אתה מסכים לדרישות הרישוי הבאות:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''טקסטים שזכויות היוצרים עליהם ברשותך:''' שליחת טקסטים שזכויות היוצרים עליהם שייכות לך היא הסכמה לפרסומם לפי הרישיונות הבאים:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), ו-
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (ללא גרסה, ללא חלקים קבועים, טקסטים קדמיים או טקסטים גביים).

מי שעושה שימוש חוזר בטקסטים יכול לעמוד בתנאים של כל אחד מהרישיונות או בשניהם.&lt;br /&gt;
היוצא מן הכלל היחיד הוא אם מהדורת המיזם או התכונה דורשת רישיון שונה. במקרה זה, הנך מסכים להעניק רישיון לכל טקסט שתתרום תחת הרישיון הספציפי שנקבע על ידי מהדורת המיזם או התכונה.

נא לשים לב לכך שרישיונות אלה מאפשרים שימושים מסחריים בתרומות שלך, כל עוד שימושים אלו עומדים בתנאים של הרישיונות המתאימים. במקרים בהם הנך הבעלים של זכויות מסד נתונים Sui Generis המכוסות על ידי CC BY-SA 4.0, הנך מוותר על זכויות אלה. לדוגמה, משמעות הדבר היא שניתן לעשות שימוש חוזר בחופשיות בעובדות שאתה תורם למיזמים ללא ייחוס.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''ייחוס:''' ייחוס הוא חלק חשוב מהרישיונות האלו. מבחינתנו חובה לתת קרדיט למי שזה מגיע - לכותבים כמוך. תרומה של טקסט מהווה את הסכמתך לקבל ייחוס באחד מהאופנים הבאים:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;באמצעות היפר־קישור (כשזה אפשרי) או כתובת אתר URL לערך שתרמת אליו (מכיוון שלכל ערך יש דף היסטוריה שמציג את כל התורמים, המחברים והעורכים);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;דרך היפר־קישור (כשזה אפשרי) או כתובת URL לעותק חלופי יציב שזמין באופן חופשי, שמתאים לרישיון הרלוונטי, ושמספק ייחוס למחברים באופן ששווה לייחוס שניתן באתר של המיזם; או&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;באמצעות רשימת כל המחברים (אבל נא לשים לכך שכל רשימת מחברים עשויה להיות מסוננת ולא לכלול תרומות קטנות מאוד או בלתי־רלוונטיות).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''ייבוא טקסט:''' באפשרותך לייבא טקסט שמצאת במקום אחר כלשהו שכתבת במשותף עם אחרים, אך במקרה כזה הנך מצהיר ומתחייב לכך שהטקסט זמין לפי תנאים שתואמים לרישיון CC-BY-SA (או, כפי שמוסבר בהמשך, רישיון אחר שנדרש באופן חריג במהדורה מסוימת של המיזם או בתכונה מסוימת שלו). לרשימה של רישיונות תואמים, ראה את [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ קריאטיב קומונס]. אין לייבא תוכן הזמין אך ורק תחת GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

אתה מסכים לכך שאם אתה מייבא טקסט תחת רישיון קריאטיב קומונס (CC) שדורש ייחוס, אתה חייב לתת קרדיט ליוצר או יוצרים בצורה סבירה. במקומות שהקרדיט ניתן על פי רוב דרך היסטוריית הדף (כמו בהעתקה בתוך ויקימדיה), מספיק לתת קרדיט בתקציר העריכה, שנשמר בהיסטוריית הדף, כאשר מייבאים את הטקסט. סימון הייחוס הוא לפעמים פולשני מדי בנסיבות מסוימות (בלי קשר לרישיון), וייתכנו מקרים שבהם קהילת ויקימדיה תחליט לא להשתמש בתוכן מיובא מסיבה זו.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''מדיה לא־טקסטואלית:''' מדיה לא־טקסטואלית במיזמים זמינה במגוון רישיונות שתומכים במטרה הכללית של אפשור שימוש חוזר והפצה חוזרת ללא הגבלה. התרומה שלך למדיה לא־טקסטואלית מהווה את הסכמתך לציית לדרישות הרישיונות כפי שמתואר בדף [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|מדיניות רישיונות]], וגם לציית לדרישות של המיזם או התכונה המסוימים שתרומתך נשלחת אליה. ר' גם את [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|מדיניות הרישוי של ויקישיתוף]] למידע נוסף לתרומת מדיה לא־טקסטואלית לויקישיתוף.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;''' אי־שלילת רישיון:''' למעט מקרים שבהם זה נחוץ לצורך עמידה עקבית בתנאי הרישיון שלך, אתה מסכים לא לבטל ולא לבקש לפסול באופן חד־צדדי שום רישיון שנתת תחת תנאי שימוש אלה לתוכן טקסטואלי או למדיה לא־טקסטואלית למיזמים או תכונותיה, גם אם אתה מסיים להשתמש בשירותינו.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''תוכן בנחלת הכלל:''' תוכן שנמצא בנחלת הכלל מתקבל בברכה. עם זאת חשוב לוודא את מעמדו כתוכן שנמצא בנחלת הכלל לפי החוק בארצות הברית בנוסף לחוקי מדינות אחרות, כנדרש על־ידי גרסאות המסוימות של המיזמים. תרומה של תוכן שנמצא בנחלת הכלל מהווה את ערבותך לכך שהוא אכן בנחלת הכלל ואת הסכמתך לתייג אותו בהתאם.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''שימוש חוזר''': שימוש חוזר בתוכן שאנו מארחים מתקבל בברכה, למרות שקיימים יוצאים מן הכלל כאשר תוכן נתרם בתנאי &quot;שימוש הוגן&quot; או יוצאים מהכלל דומים תחת חוקי זכויות יוצרים רלוונטים. כל שימוש מחדש מוכרח להיות בהתאם לרישיון/רישיונות המונחים בבסיסו.&lt;br /&gt;

עשיית שימוש חוזר בדף טקסט שפותח על־ידי קהילת ויקימדיה או הפצתו, מהווים את הסכמתך לייחסו למחברים באחת מהדרכים הבאות:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;באמצעות היפר־קישור (כשזה אפשרי) או כתובת URL לדף או לדפים שעשית שימוש חוזר בהם (מכיוון שלכל ערך יש דף היסטוריה שמציג את כל התורמים, המחברים והעורכים);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;באמצעות היפר־קישור (כשזה אפשרי) או כתובת URL לעותק חלופי מקוון, יציב ונגיש ללא תשלום, שהולם את הרישיון ושנותן קרדיט למחברים באופן זהה לקרדיט שניתן בדף המיזם; או&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;באמצעות רשימת כל המחברים (אבל נא לשים לב לכך שכל רשימת מחברים עשויה להיות מסוננת ולא לכלול תרומות קטנות מאוד או בלתי־רלוונטיות).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

אם תוכן הטקסט יובא ממקור אחר, אפשר שלתוכן יש רישיון שתואם את CC BY-SA אבל לא את GFDL (כפי שמוסבר למעלה ב&quot;ייבוא טקסט&quot;). במקרה זה יש להסכים לרישוי CC BY-SA ואין אפשרות לקבוע רישוי אחר תחת GFDL. כדי לקבוע את הרישוי שמיוחס לתוכן שבכוונתך לעשות בו שימוש חוזר או העברה חוזרת יש לקרוא את ההערות של הדף, את ההיסטוריה שלו ואת דף השיחה.

בנוסף לכך, נא לשים לב לכך שטקסט שנוצר במקורות חיצוניים ויובא לתוך מיזם יכול להיות תחת רישוי שמיוחסים לו דרישות נוספות. המשתמשים מסכימים לציין דרישות נוספות אלה באופן ברור. בהתאם למיזם דרישות אלה יכולות להופיע, למשל, בכרזה או בסימונים שמציינים שחלק מהתוכן או כולו הופיעו לראשונה במקום אחר. כאשר קיימים סימונים כאלה גלויים לעין, מי שעושים שימוש חוזר בתוכן צריכים לשמר אותם.

לגבי כל סוגי המדיה שאינם טקסט עליך להסכים לסוג הרישוי הרלוונטי שהקובץ קיבל (כדי לגלות אותו יש ללחוץ על הקובץ ולהסתכל על פסקת הרישיון בדף התיאור שלו או לסקור את דף המקור המתאים של הקובץ). כאשר עושים בתוכן שימוש חוזר מסכימים לדרישות הייחוס הכלולות ברישיון.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''שינוי או הוספה לחומר שאתה עושה בו שימוש חוזר:''' שינוי או הוספה לטקסט שהגיע מאתר מיזם מהווה את הסכמתך להוציא את התוכן ששוּנה או נוסף לפי תנאי רישיון CC BY-SA מגרסה 4.0 או גרסה מאוחרת יותר (או, כפי שהוסבר לעיל, רישיון אחר אם נדרש באופן יוצא מן הכלל על־ידי מהדורה מסוימת של או תכונת תכנה מסוימת של המיזם).&lt;br /&gt;

שינוי או הוספה של מדיה לא טקסטואלית שהשגת מאתר מיזם, מהווה את הסכמתך לרישוי התוכן ששוּנה או נוסף בהתאם לרישיון שהקובץ פורסם בו.&lt;br /&gt;

בשני סוגי התוכן, טקסט ומדיה שאינה טקסט, אתה מסכים לציין בבירור שנעשה שינוי בקובץ המקורי. אם עושים שימוש חוזר בתוכן טקסטואלי בוויקי, מספיק לציין בדף ההיסטוריה שנעשה שינוי בטקסט המיובא. עבור כל עותק או גרסה ששונתה שאתה מפיץ, אתה מסכים לכלול הודעת רישוי שמציינת תחת איזה רישיון הקובץ מופיע, בתוספת היפר־קישור או כתובת URL לטקסט של הרישיון או להעתק של הרישיון עצמו.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

קרן ויקימדיה רוצה לוודא שאפשר לעשות שימוש חוזר בכל התוכן שאנו מארחים בלי חשש לחבות משפטית ושהוא לא מפר זכויות קנייניות של מישהו. כדי להיות הוגנים כלפי המשתמשים שלנו וגם כלפי יוצרים ובעלי זכויות יוצרים אחרים, המדיניות שלנו היא להגיב להאשמות לכאורה בדבר פגיעה כאשר הן תואמות את הדרישות הפורמליות של Digital Millennium Copyright Act (ראשי תיבות של &quot;DMCA&quot;). בתנאים המתאימים ל־DMCA, נחסום, בנסיבות הולמות, משתמשים וחשבונות במערכת וברשת אשר יָפֵרוּ שוב ושוב את הכללים במיזמים והשירותים שלנו.

עם זאת, אנו מכירים בכך שלא כל בקשת הסרה היא בת־תוקף או נעשית מתוך כוונה טובה. במקרים כאלה אנו מעודדים בחום את המשתמשים להגיש הודעת התנגדות, כאשר הם מאמינים שבקשת DMCA להסרה אינה בת־תוקף או שאינה הולמת. למידע נוסף על הפעולות אותן ניתן לנקוט אם לדעתך בקשת DMCA הוגשה באופן בלתי הולם, ניתן להתייעץ עם האתר [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

אם אתה הבעלים של תוכן שנעשה בו שימוש בלתי־הולם ללא רשותכם באחד מהמיזמים, באפשרותך לבקש שהתוכן יוסר באמצעות הגשת הודעה בהתאם ל־DMCA. כדי להגיש בקשה כזאת נא לכתוב לנו בדואר אלקטרוני {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} או בדואר רגיל לנציג המשפטי המוגדר שלנו באמצעות הכתובת הזאת ב[[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|&quot;דואר חילזון&quot; (דואר רגיל / דואר מסורתי) של הסוכן המיועד שלנו]].

לחלופין, ניתן להגיש בקשה לקהילה שלנו, שדנה לעתים קרובות בנושאים שקשורים בזכויות יוצרים במהירות וביתר יעילות ממה שמחייב תהליך ה־DMCA. במקרה כזה ניתן לשלוח הודעה שמסבירה את הבעיה שלך בנושא זכויות היוצרים. אפשר לקרוא רשימה בלתי־ממצה ובלתי־מוסמכת של תהליכים רלוונטיים למיזמים השונים על ידי [[:m:Copyright problems|ביקור בדף בעיות זכויות יוצרים]]. לפני הגשת תביעת DMCA יש לך אפשרות גם לשלוח דואר אלקטרוני לקהילה ל {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

לקהילה יש תפקיד מרכזי ביצירה ובאכיפה של מדיניות הנוגעת למהדורות השונות של המיזמים. אנו בקרן ויקימדיה מתערבים לעתים רחוקות בהחלטות קהילה הנוגעות למדיניות ולאכיפתה.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
ניתן להודיע ​​לנו על תוכן לא חוקי, או תוכן המפר את תנאי השימוש שלנו (כולל כל המדיניות והמסמכים האחרים המשולבים באמצעות הפניה) מסיבות אחרות [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|על ידי פנייה ישירה אלינו]]. עם זאת, בדרך כלל ניתן להגיש בקשה ישירות לקהילת המיזם: זה עשוי להיות יעיל יותר, ויתאים יותר למטרת המיזמים שלנו להעצים את קהילת המשתמשים.
&lt;/div&gt;


כל מיזם בדרך כלל יספק דפי &quot;עזרה&quot; או &quot;יצירת קשר&quot; לקבלת הדרכה נוספת, או כלים ספציפיים לדיווח על בעיות. לחלופין - במקרה של ספק - ניתן לבקש עזרה מחברי הקהילה, על ידי שליחת דוא&quot;ל לכתובת {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} או לכתובת ספציפית יותר לשפה מ[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|דף צוות התגובה למתנדבים]]. שימו לב שתיבות דואר אלו מנוטרות על ידי משתמשי המיזמים, ולא על ידי הקרן. כתוצאה מכך, אין לאיים עליהם או להגיש להם דרישות משפטיות.

אם תפנו לקרן בנוגע לבעיה, בדרך כלל נבחן האם וכיצד מנגנונים קיימים בהובלת הקהילה יכולים לחקור אותה, ובמידת הצורך, לפתור אותה.

במקרה יוצא דופן, ייתכן שיתעורר הצורך, או שהקהילה עשויה לבקש מאיתנו, לטפל במשתמש בעייתי במיוחד או בתוכן בעייתי במיוחד עקב הפרעה משמעותית למיזם או התנהגות מסוכנת. במקרים כאלה אנו שומרים לעצמנו את הזכות, לפי שיקול דעתנו הבלעדי (או במקרים בהם הדבר נדרש על פי חוק), לעשות:

* לחקור את השימוש שלך בשירות (א) כדי לקבוע אם אירעו הפרות של תנאי השימוש האלה, של מדיניות המיזם או של כל חוק או מדיניות אחרים או (ב) לקיים חוק, הליך משפטי או בקשה מתאימה שהוגשה מטעם הממשלה;
* לגלות, למנוע או להידרש להונאה, מידע שגוי או מידע שאיננו בר‏־אימות, אבטחה או בעיות טכניות, או להגיב לבקשות תמיכה של משתמשים;
* לסרב, לשחזר, למנוע או להגביל גישה לתרומות של כל משתמש שמפר את תנאי השימוש האלה;
* להחרים משתמש מעריכה או מתרומה או לחסום חשבון של משתמש או גישה בשל פעולות שמפרות את תנאי השימוש האלה, כולל פרסום חוזר ונשנה של חומר לא חוקי תחת חוקים רלוונטיים בהתאם לעקרונות זכויות אדם;
* לבצע פעולות משפטיות כנגד משתמשים שמפרים את תנאי השימוש האלה (כולל דיווח לרשויות אכיפת החוק); וגם
* לנהל את אתרי המיזמים באופן שמתכנן ומאפשר את התפקוד הנאות שלהם ומגן על זכויות, הקניין והבטיחות שלנו עצמנו, של משתמשינו, של אלה שהעניקו לנו את הרישיון, של השותפים שלנו ושל הציבור.

פעילויות ניהול אלו של הקרן עשויות להיות מושכלות או מבוצעות על ידי תוכנה (כגון הגנה מפני הצפות תנועה (&quot;מניעת שירות&quot;)). במקרים אלה, סקירה אנושית זמינה בדרך כלל, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|לפי בקשה]].

כדי לשמור על העניינים שחשובים למשתמשים שלנו ולמיזמים, במקרים קיצוניים שבהם נחסמו חשבון או גישה של יחיד כלשהו לפי סעיף זה, נאסר עליהם ליצור או לעשות שימוש בחשבון אחר ולגשת לאותו מיזם, אלא אם סיפקנו לכך הרשאה מפורשת. מבלי להגביל את סמכות הקהילה, קרן ויקימדיה עצמה לא תחרים משתמש מעריכה או מתרומה ולא תחסום חשבון של משתמש או גישה רק בגלל ביקורת על פגיעה באמון שאינו גורם לפעולות שמפרות באופן אחר את תנאי השימוש האלה את מדיניות הקהילה.

קהילת ויקימדיה וחבריה רשאים גם לפעול כשזה מותר לפי מדיניות של הקהילה או של הקרן שמתאימות למהדורה מסוימת של מיזם, לרבות אזהה, חקירה, חסימה או החרמה של משתמשים שמפרים את המדיניות הזאת. אתה מסכים לקיים את ההחלטות האחרונות של גופי פתרון הסכסוכים שהקימה הקהילה למהדורות מסוימות של מיזמים (כגון ועדות בוררות); ההחלטות האלו יכולות לכלול גם עיצןמים כפי שיוגדר במהדורה המסוימת של המיזם.

משתמשים בעייתיים במיוחד שהחשבונות שלהם או הגישה שלהם נחסמו במספר מיזמים עלולים להיות מוחרמים בכל המיזמים, בהתאם למדיניות ההחרמה הגלובלית ([[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]). בניגוד להחלטות הוועד המנהל או לתנאי השימוש האלה, במדיניות שנקבעה על־ידי הקהילה, שיכולה לכסות מיזם אחד או מיזמים מרובים (כגון מדיניות חרם גלובלי), הקהילה הרלוונטית יכולה לעשות שינויים בהתאם להליכים שלה עצמה.

חסימת חשבון או גישה או החרמה של משתמש בהתאם לתנאי הזה תהיה בהתאם לסעיף 13 של תנאי השימוש האלה.

אם אתם סבורים שלא פעלנו בצורה משביעת רצון בנוגע לדיווח על תוכן בעייתי, או אם הייתם נתונים לפעולה של ארגון המנהלים של הקרן שברצונכם לערער עליה, ייתכן שתוכלו [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|להגיש ערעור]]. מידע נוסף על דרכי ערעור עשוי להיות מוסבר לכם באותו מועד, או בדפי עזרה ספציפיים למיזם.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
אנו שומרים לעצמנו את הזכות להשעות (זמנית או לצמיתות) את הטיפול שלנו בדיווחים או התכתבויות אחרות ממשתמשים או מצדדים שלישיים, בין אם בנוגע לתוכן או התנהגות בלתי חוקיים לכאורה או בעייתיים, או בקשות ערעורים על פעולות ניהול, אם התכתבות כזו נעשתה בתום רוע לב, חוזרת על עצמה, חסרת בסיס ו/או פוגענית. בנסיבות מתאימות, כתובת הדוא&quot;ל שלך עשויה אף להיחסם במערכת/מערכות הדוא&quot;ל שלנו, ולאחר מכן תצטרך ליצור איתנו קשר [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|לכתובת הדואר שלנו]] אם ברצונך להמשיך ולהתכתב איתנו במהלך חסימה זו. במקרים פחות חמורים (למשל, עד שלושה מיילים מנומסים בנוגע לתלונה חסרת בסיס אחת או יותר), סביר להניח שזה יהיה זמני. תקשורת תכופה יותר או פוגענית יותר נוטה יותר להוביל לפעולות קבועות.

למרות שאנו מקווים כי תישאר ותמשיך לתרום למיזמים, מותר לך להפסיק את השימוש בשירותינו בכל עת. בנסיבות מסוימות (אנו מקווים שהן לא יהיו נפוצות), ייתכן שאנו או קהילת ויקימדיה ניאלץ (כמפורט בסעיף 10), לסיים חלק משירותינו או את כולם, לסיים את התוקף של תנאי השימוש הללו, ולחסום אותך כמשתמש. אם חשבונך או גישתך נחסמו או הופסקו מכל סיבה, תרומותיך הציבוריות תישארנה זמינות לציבור ותיעוד של פעילויותיך במיזמים או בקשר אליהם (כולל כל התכתבות ששלחת לנו) לא יושפעו (בכפוף למדיניות), ובנוסף, עדיין יהיה מותר לך לגשת לדפים הציבוריים שלנו לצורך קריאה בלבד. עם זאת, ייתכן שלא תוכל לגשת לחשבון או להגדרות שלך. עם זאת, ללא קשר לכל הוראה אחרת בתנאי שימוש אלה, אנו שומרים לעצמנו את הזכות להשעות או לסיים את השירותים שלנו בכל עת, עם סיבה או בלעדיה, עם או בלי הודעה מוקדמת. גם לאחר ששימושך והשתתפותך יהיו אסורים, חסומים או מושעים, תנאי שימוש אלו יישארו בתוקף ביחס לתנאים הרלוונטיים, לרבות סעיפים 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9–16 ו־18.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
כדי לוודא שמחלוקות נידונות מיד אחרי שהן מתעוררות, אתה מסכים שבלי תלות בכל תקנה או חוק שמנוגד לכך, כל תביעה שאתה עשוי להגיש או כל הליך שאתה עשוי לנקוט בו בקשר לשירותים שלנו או לתנאי השימוש האלה צריך להיות מוגש בזמן ההתיישנות המתאימה או, אם זה מגיע מוקדם יותר, בתוך שנה אחת (1) אחרי שהעובדות הקשורות לתביעה או להליך יכולות להתגלות בחריצות ההולמת (או להתבטל לעולם).

בקרן ויקימדיה אנו עושים כמיטב יכולתנו כדי לספק תוכן חינוכי ואינפורמטיבי לקהל רחב מאוד, אבל השימוש שלך בשירות שלנו הוא על אחריותך הבלעדית. אנו מספקים את השירות הזה כמו־שהוא ובהתאם לזמינותו ואנו במפורש איננו לוקחים אחריות מכל סוג שהוא, בכלל זה אחריות משתמעת לסחירוּת, התאמה למטרות מסוימות ואי־הפרה. איננו לוקחים אחריות לכך שהשירותים שלנו יתאימו לדרישות שלך, יהיו בטוחים, בלתי־פוסקים, יגיעו בזמן, יהיו מדויקים או נטולי־טעויות או שהמידע שלך יהיה מאובטח.

==17. שינוי בתנאי השימוש האלה==

בדיוק כשם שהקלט של קהילת ויקימדיה חיוני לגדילה ולתחזוקה של המיזמים, כך אנו מאמינים שהקלט של הקהילה חיוני על מנת שתנאי השימוש האלה ייתנו שירות הולם למשתמשינו. הוא גם חיוני ליצירת הסכם הוגן. לכן אנו נספק לקהילה את תנאי השימוש האלה וגם את כל הגרסאות העתידיות לתנאי השימוש, לצורך הערות לפחות שלושים (30) ימים לפני סיום תקופת ההערות. אם גרסה עתידית חדשה שונה באופן מהותי, נאפשר 30 יום נוספים להערות לאחר פרסום התרגום של הגרסה המוצעת בשלוש שפות לפחות (שתיבחרנה לפי שיקול דעתנו). נעודד את הקהילה לתרגם את הגרסה המוצעת לשפות אחרות כפי שיהיה הולם. לצורך שינויים מסיבות משפטיות או מנהליות, כדי לתקן טענה בלתי־מדויקת או לשינויים בתגובה להערות הקהילה נספק הודעה של שלושה (3) ימים לפחות מראש.

כיוון שיכול להיות שיהיה צורך לשנות את תנאי השימוש האלה מעת לעת, נודיע מראש על שינויים כאלה ועל ההזדמנות להעיר עליהם באמצעות אתרי המיזמים ובאמצעות הודעה ב־ [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. עם זאת, אנו מבקשים מכם בטובכם לסקור מעת לעת את הגרסה המעודכנת ביותר לתנאי שימוש אלה. השימוש המתמשך שלכם בשירותינו לאחר שהגרסה החדשה של תנאי השימוש הופכת רשמית לאחר תקופת היידוע וההערות מבסס את תנאי השימוש האלה מבחינתכם. לצורך הגנה על קרן ויקימדיה ומשתמשים אחרים כמוכם, אם אינכם מסכימים עם תנאי השימוש האלה, אינכם יכולים להשתמש בשרותינו.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==18. תנאים אחרים==

תנאי שימוש אלו אינם בגדר העסקה, סוכנות, שותפות, שליטה משותפת או מיזם משותף בינך ובינינו, קרן ויקימדיה. אם לא חתמת על הסכם נפרד אתנו, תנאי שימוש אלה מהווים את ההסכם המלא בינך ובינינו. לצורכי דיני האזור הכלכלי האירופי, דיני הממלכה המאוחדת או חוקים אחרים הכרוכים במושג דומה, אינך פועל &quot;תחת סמכותה של&quot; הקרן בעת ​​השימוש בשירותים. אם קיימת סתירה בין תנאי שימור אלו וההסכם הכתוב שנחתם בינך לבינינו, ההסכם חתום הוא התקף.

אתה מסכים לכך שאנו נספק לך הודעות, ובכללם כאלה שקשורות לשינויים בתנאי השימוש, בדואר אלקטרוני, דואר רגיל או פרסומים במיזמים או באתרי האינטרנט של המיזמים.

אם בנסיבות מסוימות אנו לא ניישם או נאכוף תנאי מסוים מתנאי השימוש, אין בכך ויתור על תנאי זה.

אתה מבין שאם לא הוסכם אחרת בכתב על־ידינו, אינך מצפה לשום תמורה עבור שום פעילות או תרומה או רעיון שאתה מספק לנו, לקהילה, או למיזמים ומהדורות המיזמים.

על כל הוראה הסותרת תנאי שימוש אלה, אנו (קרן ויקימדיה) ואתה מסכימים שלא לשנות את התנאים והדרישות המתאימים של רישיון חופשי כלשהו שמופעל על מיזם או מיזמים כאשר רישיון חופשי מאושר על־ידי תנאי שימוש אלה.

תנאי השימוש האלה כתובים בשפה האנגלית (של ארצות הברית). אף שאנו מקווים כי התרגומים של תנאי השימוש האלה מדויקים, בכל מקרה של הבדל במשמעות בין הגרסה האנגלית המקורית לבין התרגום, הגרסה האנגלית המקורית היא הקובעת.

אם הוראה מסוימת או חלק מסוים בתנאי שימוש אלה נמצא בלתי־חוקי, ריק מתוכן או לא ניתן לאכיפה, ההוראה או חלק מהוראה ייחשבו כנפרד מתנאי השימוש וייאכפו במידה המרבית המותרת וכל שאר ההוראות בתנאי השימוש יישארו בתוקף מלא.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==תודה!==

אנו מודים לך על כך שהקדשת מזמנך לקרוא את תנאי השימוש ואנו נשמח לראות גם את התרומות שלך למיזמים ואת השימוש שלך בשירותינו. התרומות שלך עוזרות לנו לבנות משהו גדול באמת – לא רק אוסף חשוב של מיזמים הנערכים בשיתוף פעולה ומספקים חינוך וידע עבור מיליונים שידע זה לא היה נגיש להם אחרת, אלא גם קהילה תוססת של עמיתים שותפים לרעיון ומעורבים, הממוקדים במטרה אצילית ביותר.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Ketentuan Penggunaan Kami&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Bayangkan sebuah dunia di mana setiap orang dapat berbagi segala pengetahuan dengan bebas. Itulah komitmen kami.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Pernyataan Visi Kami]]

Selamat datang di Wikimedia! Yayasan Wikimedia, Inc. (&quot;kami&quot; atau &quot;kita semua&quot; atau &quot;Yayasan&quot;), adalah organisasi amal nirlaba, berkantor pusat di San Francisco, Kalifornia, Amerika Serikat, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|yang misinya]] adalah memberdayakan dan melibatkan orang-orang di seluruh dunia untuk mengumpulkan dan mengembangkan konten [[{{lwp|Free content}}|di bawah lisensi gratis]] atau dalam domain publik, dan menyebarluaskannya secara tanggap dan global tanpa dipungut biaya.{{lwp|Free content}}

Untuk mendukung komunitas kami yang dinamis, kami menyediakan prasarana penting dan kerangka organisasi untuk pengembangan proyek wiki multibahasa dan edisinya (seperti yang dijelaskan di [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Halaman Proyek Wikimedia]] kami) (dengan ini disebut sebagai &quot;Proyek&quot;) serta usaha-usaha lain yang melayani misi ini. Kami berupaya keras untuk membuat dan menyediakan konten mendidik dan berinformasi dari Proyek di internet secara gratis, selamanya.

Kami menyambut Anda (&quot;Anda&quot; atau &quot;pengguna&quot;) sebagai pembaca, atau kontributor Proyek, dan kami mendorong Anda untuk bergabung dengan komunitas Wikimedia. Namun, sebelum Anda ikut serta, kami minta Anda membaca dan menyetujui Ketentuan Penggunaan berikut (&quot;Ketentuan Penggunaan&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ketentuan Penggunaan ini memberi tahu Anda tentang layanan publik kami di Yayasan Wikimedia, hubungan kami dengan Anda sebagai pengguna, dan hak serta tanggung jawab yang memandu kita berdua. Kami menyelenggarakan sejumlah besar konten pendidikan dan informasi, semuanya disumbangkan dan dimungkinkan oleh pengguna seperti Anda. Umumnya kami tidak bersumbangsih, memantau, atau menghapus konten (dengan pengecualian yang jarang terjadi, seperti di bawah kebijakan seperti Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, untuk kepatuhan hukum, atau ketika menghadapi ancaman serius yang mendesak. Artinya, kendali kepenyuntingan ada di tangan Anda dan sesama pengguna yang membuat dan mengelola konten.
&lt;/div&gt;

Komunitas – jaringan pengguna yang terus-menerus membangun dan menggunakan Proyek dan/atau situs web mereka (selanjutnya disebut sebagai &quot;Situs Web Proyek&quot;) – adalah sarana utama untuk mencapai tujuan misi. Komunitas bersumbangsih dan membantu mengatur Proyek dan Situs Web Proyek kami. Komunitas juga menjalankan fungsi penting dalam membuat dan menegakkan kebijakan untuk edisi Proyek tertentu (seperti edisi bahasa yang berbeda untuk Proyek Wikipedia atau edisi multibahasa Wikimedia Commons).

Anda diundang untuk bergabung sebagai penyumbang, penyunting, atau penulis, tetapi Anda sebaiknya mengikuti ketentuan yang mengatur masing-masing edisi Proyek. Proyek terbesar kami adalah Wikipedia, namun kami melayani Proyek-Proyek lainnya juga, masing-masing dengan tujuan dan cara kerja yang berbeda. Setiap edisi Proyek memiliki kelompok-kelompok penyumbang, penyunting atau penulis yang bekerja bersama-sama untuk menciptakan dan mengelola isi dari edisi-edisi Proyek tersebut. Anda diundang untuk bergabung ke dalam kelompok-kelompok ini dan bekerja bersama-sama untuk mengembangkan Proyek-Proyek tersebut. Oleh karena kami berdedikasi untuk membuat konten yang dapat diakses bebas oleh publik, pada umumnya kami meminta seluruh konten yang Anda sumbang juga tersedia dalam lisensi bebas atau berada di dalam domain publik.

Perlu diketahui bahwa Anda secara hukum bertanggung jawab untuk semua kontribusi Anda, suntingan, dan penggunaan kembali dari isi (konten) Wikimedia berdasarkan hukum dari Amerika Serikat dan hukum yang berlaku lainnya (yang mungkin termasuk hukum di tempat Anda tinggal atau di tempat Anda melihat atau menyunting konten). Ini penting bagi Anda untuk berhati-hati saat mengirim konten. Sebagai penjelasan tanggung jawab ini, kami memiliki beberapa peraturan tentang apa yang tidak boleh Anda kirimkan, sebagian besar di antaranya adalah untuk perlindungan Anda sendiri atau untuk perlindungan pengguna lain seperti Anda. Mohon diingat bahwa konten yang kami sediakan adalah hanya untuk tujuan informasi umum, jadi jika Anda memerlukan saran dari pakar untuk pertanyaan tertentu (seperti medis, hukum, atau isu keuangan), Anda sebaiknya mencari bantuan seorang profesional yang memiliki lisensi dan berkualitas. Kami juga menyertakan pemberitahuan penting lainnya dan penyangkalan, jadi silakan baca Ketentuan Penggunaan secara keseluruhan.

Untuk lebih jelasnya, organisasi lain, seperti [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] dan asosiasinya, yang dapat memiliki misi yang sama, tetap saja secara hukum independen dan terpisah dari Yayasan Wikimedia dan tidak memiliki tanggung jawab untuk pengoperasian situs web tersebut maupun isinya.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Layanan Kami==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Yayasan Wikimedia ditujukan untuk mendukung pertumbuhan, perkembangan dan penyebaran konten multibahasa gratis, dan juga untuk menjadi ''host'' keseluruhan konten dari Proyek berbasis-wiki untuk umum dengan bebas biaya. Peran kami adalah untuk menjadi ''host'' beberapa Proyek referensi yang disunting bersama terbesar di dunia, yang dapat ditemukan [//www.wikimedia.org di sini]. Namun, kami bertindak hanya sebagai layanan ''host'', memelihara infrastruktur dan kerangka kerja organisasi yang mengizinkan pengguna kami membangun Proyek Wikimedia dengan berkontribusi dan menyunting kontennya sendiri. Karena peran unik kami, ada beberapa hal yang sebaiknya Anda sadari saat mempertimbangkan hubungan kami pada Anda, Proyek-Proyek, dan pengguna lain:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Kami tidak mengambil peran penyuntingan:''' Karena Proyek Wikimedia disunting secara kolaborasi, semua konten yang kami tayangkan disediakan oleh pengguna seperti Anda, dan kami tidak mengambil peran penyuntingan. Ini berarti secara umum kami tidak mengawasi atau menyunting konten dari situs web Proyek, dan kami tidak mengambil tanggung jawab apapun atas konten ini. Persisnya, kami tidak mendukung semua pendapat yang diungkapkan melalui layanan kami, dan kami tidak menggambarkan atau menjamin kebenaran, ketepatan, atau keandalan dari konten komunitas yang dikirimkan. Melainkan kami hanya menyediakan akses ke konten yang rekan pengguna Anda telah kontribusikan dan sunting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Anda bertanggung jawab terhadap tindakan Anda sendiri:''' Anda secara hukum bertanggung jawab terhadap suntingan dan kontribusi Anda pada Proyek Wikimedia, maka demi perlindungan Anda sendiri Anda sebaiknya melatih kewaspadaan dan menghindari berkontribusi konten apapun yang dapat mengakibatkan kewajiban pidana atau perdata di bawah hukum yang berlaku. Untuk jelasnya, hukum yang berlaku meliputi setidaknya hukum Amerika Serikat. Meskipun kami mungkin tidak setuju dengan tindakan tersebut, kami memperingatkan penyunting dan kontributor bahwa yang berwenang mungkin berusaha untuk menerapkan hukum negara lain kepada Anda, termasuk undang-undang lokal tempat Anda tinggal atau tempat Anda melihat atau menyunting konten. WMF umumnya tidak dapat menawarkan perlindungan, jaminan, imunitas, atau ganti rugi apapun.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Kebijakan Privasi==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Kami meminta Anda untuk meninjau ketentuan [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Kebijakan Privasi]] kami, agar Anda menyadari cara kami mengumpulkan dan menggunakan informasi Anda. Karena layanan kami digunakan oleh orang di seluruh dunia, informasi pribadi yang kami kumpulkan dapat disimpan dan diproses di Amerika Serikat atau negara lain manapun tempat kami atau agen kami memelihara fasilitas. Dengan menggunakan layanan kami, Anda setuju terhadap pengiriman informasi semacam ini ke luar negara Anda.

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Anda mungkin menemukan beberapa materi yang tidak disetujui atau keliru:''' Karena kami menyediakan bermacam-macam konten yang dihasilkan atau dikumpulkan oleh sesama pengguna, Anda mungkin menemui materi yang Anda nilai menyerang, ada kekeliruan, menyesatkan, kesalahan penyebutan, atau di sisi lain  dipertanyakan. Oleh karena itu kami meminta agar Anda menggunakan akal sehat dan penilaian yang tepat saat menggunakan layanan kami.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Konten kami adalah untuk tujuan informasi umum saja:''' Meskipun kami menyelenggarakan banyak informasi yang berkaitan dengan topik profesional, termasuk medis, hukum, atau isu keuangan, konten ini disajikan hanya untuk tujuan informasi umum. Ini sebaiknya tidak dianggap sebagai saran pakar. Silakan menemui ahli konseling independen dari seseorang yang berlisensi atau memenuhi syarat dalam penerapannya sebagai pengganti informasi, pendapat, atau saran apapun yang terkandung di salah satu situs web Proyek.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Proyek yang diselenggarakan oleh Yayasan Wikimedia hanya ada karena komunitas yang bersemangat dari pengguna seperti Anda yang berkolaborasi bersama untuk menulis, menyunting, dan merawat konten. Kami dengan senang menyambut keikutsertaan Anda dalam komunitas ini. Kami mendorong Anda untuk sopan dan santun dalam interaksi Anda dengan orang lain dalam komunitas, untuk bertindak dengan itikad/niat baik, dan untuk membuat suntingan dan kontribusi yang bertujuan memajukan misi Proyek bersama.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::Ketentuan penggunaan ini melarang kegiatan yang bersifat memperdaya termasuk berbohong mengenai keterkaitan terhadap suatu pihak, pemalsuan identitas, dan penipuan. Untuk memastikan kepatuhan dengan kewajiban ini, Anda harus mengungkapkan siapa yang membayar atau yang anda harapkan mendapatkan imbalan dari, klien, dan seluruh kaitan yang berhubungan dengan kontribusi dalam proyek-proyek Wikimedia. Anda harus membuat pengungkapan bahwa setidaknya salah satu dari cara berikut:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::Hukum yang berlaku, atau kebijakan dan pedoman komunitas serta Yayasan, yang terkait dengan bagaimana menangani konflik kepentingan, mungkin dapat membatasi kontribusi berbayar atau membutuhkan pernyataaan yang lebih rinci lagi. 
:: Proyek komunitas Wikimedia dapat mengadopsi kebijakan yang berbeda untuk kontribusi yang dibayar. Jika suatu proyek mengadopsi kebijakan alternatif untuk menyatakannya, anda dapat memilih mengikuti kebijakan tersebut dan tidak mengikuti kebijakan yang tercantum disini ketika anda berkontribusi untuk Proyek tersebut. Kebijakan yang berbeda untuk kontribusi yang berbayar dapat menganulir persyaratan yang tercantum disini apabila disetujui oleh komunitas dan proyek yang relevan serta tercantum di [[$1|alternative disclosure policy page]].
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==6. Merek==

Meskipun anda memiliki kebebasan yang cukup besar untuk menggunakan-kembali konten pada situs web Proyek, itu penting bahwa, di Yayasan Wikimedia, kami melindungi hak merek dagang kami sehingga kami dapat melindungi pengguna kami dari kecurangan peniru. Karena hal ini, kami meminta agar anda menghormati merek dagang kami. Semua merek dagang Yayasan Wikimedia adalah milik Yayasan Wikimedia, dan segala penggunaan nama dagang kami, merek dagang, merek layanan, logo, atau nama domain harus sesuai dengan Ketentuan Penggunaan ini dan memenuhi [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Kebijakan Merek Dagang]] kami.

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Lisensi Konten==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Untuk menumbuhkan kepentingan bersama akan pengetahuan bebas dan budaya bebas, seluruh pengguna yang berkontribusi ke Proyek ini perlu untuk memberikan izin ke masyarakat luas untuk menyebarkan-kembali dan menggunakan-kembali secara bebas, sejauh penggunaan itu dicirikan dengan benar dan kebebasan yang sama untuk menggunakan-kembali dan menyebarkan-kembali diberikan untuk karya turunannya. Sesuai dengan tujuan kami untuk menyediakan informasi bebas kepada seluas mungkin khalayak, kami mensyaratkan agar saat diperlukan seluruh konten yang dikirimkan diberi lisensi sehingga dapat digunakan kembali secara bebas oleh siapapun yang peduli untuk mengaksesnya.
&lt;/div&gt;

Anda setuju atas ketentuan lisensi berikut:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
'''Teks yang hak ciptanya anda pegang:''' Saat anda mengirim teks yang hak ciptanya anda pegang, anda setuju untuk melisensikannya di bawah:
* [$1 Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License] (“CC BY-SA”), dan
* [//www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html Lisensi Dokumentasi Bebas GNU] (“GFDL”) (tanpa versi, tanpa bagian invarian, teks sampul-depan, atau teks sampul-belakang).
(Pengguna penggunaan-kembali dapat mematuhi baik salah satu lisensi maupun keduanya.)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Satu-satunya pengecualian adalah jika edisi Proyek atau fitur menuntut lisensi yang berbeda. Pada kasus ini, anda setuju untuk melisensikan segala teks yang anda kontribusikan di bawah lisensi khusus tersebut. Sebagai contoh, pada penerbitan Ketentuan Penggunaan versi ini, Wikinews bahasa Inggris mengamanatkan bahwa seluruh konten teks dilisensikan di bawah Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic License (CC BY 2.5) dan tidak menuntut lisensi ganda dengan GFDL.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Mohon dicatat bahwa lisensi ini mengizinkan penggunaan komersial dari kontribusi anda, sejauh penggunaan tersebut sesuai dengan ketentuannya.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Pengenalan:''' Pengenalan adalah bagian penting dari lisensi ini. Kami menganggapnya memberikan kredit di tempat kredit terjadi - kepada penulis seperti anda sendiri. Saat anda berkontribusi teks, anda setuju untuk dikenali dalam bentuk berikut:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Melalui pranala (jika memungkinkan) atau URL ke artikel kepadanya anda berkontribusi (karena setiap artikel memiliki halaman riwayat yang mendaftar semua penulis dan penyunting);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Melalui pranala (jika memungkinkan) atau URL ke salinan daring alternatif dan stabil yang dapat diakses secara bebas, yang sesuai dengan lisensi, dan yang menyediakan kredit kepada para penulis dalam cara yang sama dengan kredit yang diberikan pada situs web Proyek; atau&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Melalui daftar semua penulis (namun mohon diketahui bahwa setiap daftar penulis dapat disaring untuk mengecualikan kontribusi yang sangat kecil atau tidak relevan).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Mengimpor teks:''' Anda dapat mengimpor teks yang Anda temukan di tempat lain atau yang Anda tuliskan bersama dengan orang lain, tetapi dalam kasus seperti ini Anda menjamin bahwa teks tersedia di bawah ketentuan yang sesuai dengan lisensi CC BY-SA (atau, seperti dijelaskan di atas, lisensi lain ketika secara khusus dibutuhkan oleh edisi Proyek atau fitur)(&quot;CC BY-SA&quot;). Konten yang tersedia hanya di bawah GFDL tidak diizinkan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Anda setuju bahwa, jika anda mengimpor teks di bawah lisensi CC BY-SA yang mensyaratkan atribusi, anda harus memberi kredit pada penulis dalam bentuk yang wajar. Meskipun kredit seperti itu umum diberikan melalui riwayat halaman (seperti menyalin dalam internal Wikimedia), ini cukup dengan memberi atribusi dalam ringkasan penyuntingan, yang tercatat dalam riwayat halaman, saat mengimpor teks. Persyaratan atribusi kadang-kadang terlalu mengganggu pada keadaan tertentu (terlepas dari lisensi), dan mungkin ada kasus saat komunitas Wikimedia memutuskan bahwa teks yang diimpor tidak dapat digunakan karena alasan tersebut.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Media bukan-teks:''' Media bukan teks pada Proyek tersedia di bawah beragam lisensi berbeda yang mendukung tujuan umum dari memperbolehkan penggunaan kembali dan penyebaran kembali yang tak terlarang. Saat anda berkontribusi media bukan-teks, anda setuju untuk patuh pada persyaratan lisensi tersebut seperti dijelaskan dalam [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Kebijakan Lisensi]] kami, dan juga patuh pada persyaratan edisi atau fitur Proyek tertentu tempat anda berkontribusi. Lihat juga [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Kebijakan Lisensi Wikimedia Commons]] untuk informasi lebih lanjut tentang berkontribusi media bukan-teks kepada Proyek.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Tidak ada pencabutan liesnsi:''' Kecuali konsisten dengan lisensi anda, anda setuju bahwa anda tidak akan secara sepihak mencabut atau mencari tidak sahnya sebuah lisensi yang telah anda berikan di bawah Ketentuan Penggunaan ini untuk isi teks atau media bukan-teks yang dikontribusikan kepada Proyek atau fitur Wikimedia, bahkan jika anda mengakhiri penggunaan layanan kami.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Konten domain umum:''' Konten yang berada dalam domain umum diperbolehkan! Namun penting bahwa anda menyetujui status domain umum dari konten di bawah hukum Amerika Serikat seperti hukum semua negara lain yang disyaratkan oleh edisi Proyek tertentu. Jika anda berkontribusi konten yang telah ada di domain umum, anda menjamin bahwa materi tersebut saat ini di dalam domain umum, dan anda setuju untuk menamainya dengan sesuai.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Penggunaan-kembali:''' Penggunaan kembali dari isi yang kami layani diperbolehkan, walau terdapat pengecualian untuk isi yang disumbang di bawah &quot;penggunaan bebas&quot; atau pengecualian serupa dalam undang-undang hak cipta. Penggunaan-kembali apapun harus sesuai dengan lisensi awal yang digunakan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Jika anda menggunakan kembali atau menyebarkan kembali halaman teks yang dikembangkan oleh komunitas Wikimedia, anda setuju untuk menghubungkannya dengan penciptanya dalam semua keadaan berikut:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Melalui pranala (jika memungkinkan) atau URL ke halaman atau halaman-halaman yang anda gunakan kembali (karena setiap artikel memiliki halaman riwayat yang mendaftar semua penulis dan penyunting);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Melalui pranala (jika memungkinkan) atau URL ke salinan daring alternatif dan stabil yang dapat diakses secara bebas, yang sesuai dengan lisensi, dan yang menyediakan kredit kepada para penulis dalam cara yang sama dengan kredit yang diberikan pada situs web Proyek; atau&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Melalui daftar semua penulis (namun mohon diketahui bahwa setiap daftar penulis dapat disaring untuk mengecualikan kontribusi yang sangat kecil atau tidak relevan).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Jika isi teks diimpor dari sumber yang lain, ada kemungkinan jika konten dilisensikan di bawah lisensi CC BY-SA yang kompatibel namun bukan GFDL (seperti dijelaskan dalam “Mengimpor teks,” di atas). Dalam kasus itu, anda setuju untuk mematuhi lisensi CC BY-SA yang kompatibel dan tidak memiliki pilihan untuk melisensikan kembali di bawah GFDL. Untuk menentukan lisensi yang diterapkan ke konten yang anda inginkan untuk digunakan kembali atau didistribusikan kembali, anda sebaiknya meninjau ''footer'' halaman, riwayat halaman, dan halaman diskusi.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Sebagai tambahan, mohon waspada bahwa teks yang berasal dari sumber eksternal dan diimpor ke Proyek mungkin berada di bawah lisensi yang melampirkan persyaratan atribusi tambahan. Pengguna setuju untuk menunjukkan persyaratan atribusi tambahan tersebut dengan jelas. Bergantung pada Proyek, persyaratan semacam itu mungkin muncul misalnya dalam sebuah pita atau notasi lain yang menunjukkan bahwa beberapa atau seluruh konten aslinya telah diterbitkan di tempat lain. Dalam adanya notasi yang terlihat tersebut, pengguna-kembali sebaiknya memeliharanya.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Untuk media bukan-teks apapun, anda setuju untuk patuh pada lisensi apapun di bawah tempat karya tersebut telah tersedia (yang dapat ditemukan dengan meng-klik pada karya dan melihat pada bagian lisensi pada halaman deskripsinya atau meninjau halaman sumber yang dapat dipakai untuk karay tersebut). Ketika menggunakan kembali konten yang kami sediakan, anda setuju untuk patuh pada persyaratan atribusi yang relevan ketika mereka menyinggung lisensi atau lisensi-lisensi yang mendasari.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Pengubahan atau penambahan ke materi yang anda gunakan kembali:''' Ketika mengubah atau membuat penambahan pada teks yang anda telah dapatkan dari situs web Proyek, anda setuju untuk melisensikan konten yang telah diubah atau ditambah di bawah CC BY-SA 3.0 atau setelahnya (atau, seperti dijelaskan di atas, lisensi lain ketika disyaratkan dengan perkecualian oleh edisi atau fitur Proyek khusus).&lt;br /&gt;

Ketika mengubah atau memberi tambahan pada semua media bukan-teks yang anda telah dapatkan dari situs web Proyek, anda setuju untuk melisensikan konten yang telah diubah sesuai dengan lisensi apapun di bawah tempat karya tersebut telah tersedia.&lt;br /&gt;

Dengan baik konteks teks maupun media bukan-teks, anda setuju untuk dengan jelas menunjukkan bahwa karya asli telah diubah. Jika anda menggunakan kembali konten teks dalam sebuah wiki, cukup untuk menunjukkan dalam riwayat halaman bahwa anda membuat perubahan pada teks yang diimpor. Untuk setiap salinan atau versi yang diubah yang anda sebarkan, anda setuju untuk menyertakan pemberitahuan lisensi yang menyatakan lisensi mana yang digunakan pada karya yang dirilis, beserta baik pranala atau URL kepada teks lisensi atau saalinan lisensi itu sendiri.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;8._Copyright_Compliance&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
==8. Pemenuhan DMCA==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Yayasan Wikimedia ingin meyakinkan bahwa konten yang kami tayangkan dapat digunakan-kembali oleh pengguna lain tanpa khawatir akan pertanggungjawaban dan bahwa ini bukan melanggar hak kepemilikan orang lain. Dalam keadilan pada pengguna kami, seperti pada pencipta dan pemegang hak cipta lain, kebijakan kami adalah untuk menanggapi pemberitahuan dugaan pelanggaran yang menuruti formalitas Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Buronan DMCA, kami akan mengakhirinya, pada keadaan yang sesuai, pengguna dan pemegang akun dari sistem dan jaringan kami yang mengulangi pelanggaran.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Namun, kami juga menyadari bahwa tidak setiap pemberitahuan pengambilalihan adalah sah atau dalam niat baik. Dalam kasus seperti itu, kami sangat menganjurkan pengguna untuk melaporkan pemberitahuan pembelaan ketika mereka secara tepat percaya bahwa pengambilalihan DMCA adalah tidak sah atau tidak pantas. Untuk informasi lebih lanjut mengenai apa yang akan dilakukan jika Anda berpikir pemberitahuan DMCA telah diajukan secara tidak tepat, Anda boleh ingin untuk berunding dengan situs web [//www.chillingeffects.org/ Chilling Effects].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Bila anda adalah pemilik konten yang telah digunakan secara salah oleh salah satu Proyek kami tanpa seiijin anda, anda dapat membuat permintaan untuk menghapus konten dibawah DMCA. Untuk membuat permohonan, tolong email kami di {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} atau surat snail ke agen di  [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|alamat ini]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Cara lain, anda dapat membuat permohonan ke komunitas lain, yang mengurus masalah copyright lebih cepat dan lebih efektif tidak seperti melalui klaim dibawah DMCA. Mengenai hal ini, anda dapat mengepost pemberitahuan mengenai masalah copyright atau kelegalan konten. Untuk daftar tak lengkap atau non-authoritative tentang proses yang relevan untuk edisi proyek lainnya, lihat [[:m:Copyright problems|disini]]. sebelum membuat klaim DMCA, anda juga diberikan pilihan untuk mengirim email ke komunitas di {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Anda sendiri yang bertanggung jawab untuk penggunaan situs web pihak ketiga atau sumber. Biarpun proyek berisi pranala ke situs web pihak ketiga atau sumber pihak ketiga, kami tidak mendukung dan tidak bertanggung jawab atau berkewajiban atas ketersediaan, akurasi, atau konten terkait, produk, jasa (termasuk, tanpa batasan, virus, atau vitur penonaktifan lainnya), juga tidak memiliki kewajiban untuk memonitor konten pihak ketiga tersebut.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Pengelolaan Situs Web==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Komunitas memiliki peran utama dalam menciptakan dan menegakkan kebijakan yang berlaku untuk edisi Proyek yang berbeda. Pada Wikimedia Foundation, kita jarang campur tangan dalam keputusan komunitas tentang kebijakan dan penegakannya. Dalam kasus yang tidak biasa, kebutuhan mungkin timbul, atau komunitas dapat meminta kami, untuk mengatasi pengguna yang sangat bermasalah karena gangguan Proyek signifikan atau perilaku berbahaya. Dalam kasus tersebut, kami berhak, tetapi tidak memiliki kewajiban untuk:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
* Selidiki penggunaan layanan (a) untuk menentukan apakah pelanggaran terhadap Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, kebijakan versi proyek, atau hukum yang berlaku lainnya atau kebijakan telah terjadi, atau (b) untuk mematuhi hukum yang berlaku, proses hukum, atau sesuai permintaan pemerintah;
* Mendeteksi, mencegah, atau mengatasi penipuan, keamanan, atau masalah teknis atau menanggapi permintaan dukungan pengguna;
* Ban pengguna dari mengedit atau kontribusi atau memblokir akun pengguna atau akses atas tindakan melanggar syarat Penggunaan ini, termasuk mengulang pelanggaran hak cipta;
* Mengambil tindakan hukum terhadap pengguna yang melanggar Ketentuan penggunaan ini (termasuk laporan kepada penegak hukum), dan
* Mengelola situs proyek dengan cara yang dirancang untuk memfasilitasi berfungsinya proyek dan melindungi hak, properti, dan keselamatan diri sendiri dan pengguna kami, pemberi lisensi, mitra, dan komunitas.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Dalam kepentingan pengguna kami dan Proyek, dalam keadaan ekstrim terkait setiap individu memiliki akunnya atau akses diblokir di bawah ketentuan ini, dia dilarang membuat atau menggunakan akun lain atau mencari akses ke Proyek yang sama, kecuali kami memberikan izin eksplisit. Tanpa membatasi kewenangan komunitas, Wikimedia Foundation sendiri tidak akan melarang pengguna dari mengedit atau berkontribusi atau memblokir akun pengguna atau akses semata-mata karena kritik baik yang tidak menghasilkan tindakan dinyatakan melanggar Syarat Penggunaan ini atau kebijakan komunitas.
&lt;/div&gt;

Komunitas wikimedia dan anggotanya juga dapat mengambil tindakan ketika begitu diijinkan oleh komunitas atau kebijakan Yayasan berlaku untuk edisi Proyek tertentu, namun tidak terbatas pada peringatan, menyelidiki, menghalangi, atau melarang pengguna yang melanggar kebijakan tersebut. Anda setuju untuk mematuhi keputusan akhir dari badan penyelesaian sengketa yang dibentuk oleh komunitas untuk versi Proyek tertentu (seperti komite arbitrase); keputusan ini dapat mencakup sanksi sebagaimana diatur oleh kebijakan versi Proyek tertentu.

Terutama pengguna bermasalah yang memiliki akun atau akses diblok di beberapa proyek munkin subjek dari ban dari semua versi proyek, berdasarkan [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Peraturan Global Ban]]. Berbeda dengan resolusi Dewan atau ketentuan penggunaan ini, peraturan dibuat oleh komunitas, atau mungkin hanya mencakup satu versi proyek (seperti Peraturan Global Ban), dapat diubah berdasarkan prosedur keputusan komunitas terkait.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pemblokiran akun atau akses atau pelarangan pengguna dalam ketentuan ini harus sesuai dengan Bagian 12 dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

== 13. Penghentian ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Meskipun kami berharap Anda akan tetap dan terus berkontribusi pada proyek , anda dapat berhenti menggunakan layanan kami setiap saat. Dalam keadaan tertentu ( mudah-mudahan tidak ) mungkin dibutuhkan untuk kita sendiri atau komunitas wikimedia atau anggotanya (seperti yang dijelaskan di bagian 10) untuk mengakhiri sebagian atau seluruh layanan kami, mengakhiri Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, memblokir akun anda atau akses, atau melarang anda sebagai pengguna. Jika akun anda atau akses diblokir atau dihentikan karena alasan apapun, kontribusi publik akan tetap tersedia untuk umum (tunduk pada kebijakan yang berlaku), dan, kecuali kami memberitahu anda jika tidak, anda mungkin masih mengakses halaman publik untuk tujuan tunggal membaca publik konten yang tersedia di Proyek. Dalam keadaan seperti itu, bagaimanapun juga, anda mungkin tidak dapat mengakses akun anda atau menyeting akun anda. Kami berhak untuk menangguhkan atau mengakhiri layanan setiap saat, dengan atau tanpa sebab, dan dengan atau tanpa pemberitahuan. Bahkan setelah penggunaan dan partisipasi dilarang, diblokir atau ditangguhkan, Ketentuan Penggunaan ini akan tetap berlaku sehubungan dengan ketentuan yang relevan, termasuk Bagian 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-15, dan 17.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Disorot untuk penekanan''

Kami berharap tidak terjadi perselisihan serius yang muncul dan melibatkan anda, tetapi, dalam peristiwa adanya perselisihan, kami mendorong anda untuk mencari penyelesaian melalui prosedur penyelesaian perselisihan atau mekanisme yang disediakan oleh Proyek atau edisi Proyek dan Yayasan Wikimedia. Jika anda berusaha mengajukan gugatan hukum terhadap kami, anda setuju untuk mengajukan dan menyelesaikan secara eksklusif di pengadilan negara bagian atau federal yang terletak di San Francisco County, California. Anda juga setuju bahwa undang-undang Negara Bagian California dan, sejauh yang dapat diterapkan, undang-undang Amerika Serikat akan mengatur Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, serta tuntutan hukum apapun yang akan timbul antara anda dan kami (tanpa mengacu pada konflik prinsip-prinsip hukum). Anda setuju untuk tunduk kepada wilayah hukum pribadi dari, dan setuju bahwa tempat adalah dalam, pengadilan yang terletak di San Francisco County, California, dalam setiap tindakan hukum atau upaya yang berkaitan dengan kami atau Ketentuan Penggunaan ini.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Untuk memastikan bahwa perselisihan ditangani segera setelah muncul, anda setuju bahwa tanpa mengindahkan undang-undang atau hukum yang berlawanan, segala tuntutan atau penyebab tindakan yang telah anda timbulkan terkait dengan penggunaan layanan kami atau Ketentuan Penggunaan harus diajukan dalam batasan undang-undang yang berlaku atau, jika lebih awal, satu (1) tahun setelah fakta-fakta terkait yang mendasari tuntutan atau penyebab tindakan telah dapat ditemukan dengan ketekunan yang masuk akal (atau akan dianggap gugur selamanya).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Kami tidak memberi jaminan bahwa layanan kami akan memenuhi kebutuhan anda, nyaman, aman, tanpa gangguan, tepat waktu, akurat, atau bebas dari kesalahan, atau bahwa informasi anda akan aman.

Kami tidak bertanggung jawab atas isi, data, atau tindakan pihak ketiga, dan anda melepaskan kami, direktur kami, petugas, karyawan, dan agen dari segala tuntutan dan kerusakan, yang diketahui dan tidak diketahui, yang timbul dari atau dengan cara apapun yang berkaitan dengan segala klaim yang anda lakukan kepada semua pihak ketiga.

Semua materi yang diunduh atau dengan kata lain diperoleh melalui penggunaan layanan kami oleh anda, dilakukan dengan kebijaksanaan dan resiko anda, dan anda akan sepenuhnya bertanggung jawab terhadap kerusakan pada sistem komputer anda atau kehilangan data yang berakibat dari pengunduhan materi tersebut. Anda menyetujui bahwa kami tidak memiliki tanggung jawab atau kewajiban atas penghapusan, kegagalan penyimpanan atau pengiriman, semua isi atau komunikasi yang dikelola oleh layanan ini.

Beberapa negara bagian atau wilayah hukum tidak mengizinkan jenis-jenis penyangkalan dalam bagian ini, sehingga penyangkalan tersebut mungkin tidak berlaku bagi anda baik sebagian maupun seluruhnya, bergantung pada hukum.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. Batasan dalam Pertanggungjawaban&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Yayasan Wikimedia tidak akan bertanggung jawab kepada anda atau kepada pihak lain manapun untuk segala kerusakan langsung, tidak langsung, tidak sengaja, khusus, sebagai akibat, atau contoh, termasuk namun tidak terbatas pada, kerusakan pada kehilangan keuntungan, niat baik, penggunaan, data, atau kerugian tak berwujud lainnya, terlepas dari diberitahunya kami terhadap kemungkinan kerusakan tersebut. Kami tidak pernah bertanggung jawab melebihi seribu dolar Amerika (USD 1000,00) secara gabungan. Dalam hal hukum yang berlaku mungkin tidak mengizinkan pembatasan atau pengecualian dari tanggung jawab atau kerusakan karena kecelakaan atau kerusakan sebagai akibat, pembatasan atau pengecualian di atas mungkin tidak berlaku bagi anda, meskipun tanggung jawab kami akan dibatasi sejauh yang diizinkan oleh hukum yang berlaku.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Pengubahan dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini ==

Sama seperti masukan komunitas Wikimedia penting bagi pertumbuhan dan pemeliharaan Proyek, kami percaya bahwa masukan komunitas penting bagi Ketentuan Penggunaan ini untuk melayani pengguna kami dengan benar. Penting juga untuk sebuah perjanjian (kontrak) yang adil. Oleh karena itu, kami akan menyediakan Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, sama seperti segala isi revisi mendatang dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, kepada komunitas untuk dikomentari setidaknya tiga puluh (30) hari sebelum berakhirnya masa komentar. Jika pengajuan revisi mendatang adalah penting, kami akan menyediakan 30 hari tambahan untuk berkomentar setelah mengirimkan terjemahan dari usulan revisi dalam paling sedikit tiga bahasa (dipilih berdasarkan kebijakan kami). Komunitas akan didorong untuk menerjemahkan usulan revisi dalam bahasa lain jika sesuai. Untuk perubahan dengan alasan hukum atau administratif, untuk membetulkan pernyataan yang kurang tepat, atau mengubah sebagai tanggapan dari komentar komunitas, kami akan menyediakan paling sedikit tiga (3) hari pemberitahuan.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Karena kemungkinan perlu untuk mengubah Ketentuan Penggunaan ini dari waktu ke waktu, kami akan memberikan pemberitahuan dari pengubahan tersebut dan kesempatan berkomentar melalui situs web Proyek, dan melalui pemberitahuan pada [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Namun, kami memohon agar anda secara berkala meninjau versi paling baru dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini (tersedia di $2). Kelanjutan penggunaan anda terhadap layanan kami setelah Ketentuan Penggunaan baru tersebut diresmikan dan dilanjutkan dengan masa pemberitahuan dan peninjauan merupakan penerimaan anda terhadap Ketentuan Penggunaan ini. Demi perlindungan Yayasan Wikimedia dan pengguna lain seperti anda, jika anda tidak setuju dengan Ketentuan Penggunaan kami, anda tidak dapat menggunakan layanan kami.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Ketentuan-ketentuan Lain ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ketentuan Penggunaan ini bukan merupakan perjanjian kerja, agensi, kemitraan, atau hubungan kerjasama antara anda dengan kami, Yayasan Wikimedia (''Wikimedia Foundation''). Jika anda belum menanda-tangani perjanjian terpisah dengan kami, Ketentuan Penggunaan ini merupakan pernjanjian seutuhnya antara anda dengan kami. Bila terdapat perselisihan antara Ketentuan Penggunaan ini dengan perjanjian yang ditanda-tangani antara anda dengan kami, perjanjian yang ditanda-tangani lebih memiliki kendali.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Anda menyetujui bahwa kami dapat memberi anda pemberitahuan, termasuk mengenai perubahan Ketentuan Penggunaan, melalui surat elektronik, surat biasa, atau kiriman pada situs web Proyek.
&lt;/div&gt;

Jika dalam keadaan apapun, kami tidak menerapkan atau menegakkan setiap ketentuan dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, itu bukan pengabaian ketentuan tersebut.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Anda memahami bahwa, kecuali jika disetujui secara tertulis oleh kami, anda tidak memiliki harapan imbalan untuk setiap kegiatan, kontribusi, atau ide yang anda berikan kepada kami, komunitas, atau Proyek atau edisi Proyek Wikimedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

Tanpa mengurangi ketentuan apapun yang sebaliknya dalam Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, kami (Yayasan Wikimedia) dan anda setuju untuk tidak mengubah ketentuan dan persyaratan yang berlaku dari setiap lisensi bebas yang digunakan pada Proyek atau edisi Proyek ketika lisensi bebas tersebut dikeluarkan oleh Ketentuan Penggunaan ini.

Ketentuan Penggunaan ini awalnya ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris (Amerika Serikat). Walau kami berharap terjemahan akan Ketentuan Penggunaan ini akurat, dalam hal adanya perbedaan arti antara versi asli bahasa Inggris dengan terjemahannya, versi asli bahasa Inggris merupakan versi yang diutamakan.

Jika ada ketentuan atau bagian dari ketentuan dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini ditemukan melanggar hukum, tidak berlaku, atau tidak dapat diterapkan, ketentuan atau bagian dari ketentuan tersebut dianggap terpisah dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini dan akan diterapkan semaksimal yang diizinkan, dan semua ketentuan lainnya dari Ketentuan Penggunaan ini akan tetap berlaku dengan paksaan dan pengaruh sepenuhnya.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Terima Kasih!==

Kami menghargai waktu yang telah anda luangkan untuk membaca Ketentuan Penggunaan ini, dan kami sangat senang mengenal anda yang berkontribusi dalam Proyek-proyek dan menggunakan layanan kami. Melalui kontribusi anda, anda sedang membantu membangun sesuatu yang sangat besar - bukan hanya sebuah Proyek kumpulan referensi penting yang disunting besama-sama yang menyediakan pengajaran dan informasi kepada jutaan orang yang mungkin memiliki keterbatasan akses, tetapi juga merupakan sebuah komunitas dinamis dengan rekan-rekan yang berpandangan sama dan terkait, tertuju pada harapan yang mulia.

উইকিমিডিয়ায় স্বাগতম! উইকিমিডিয়া ফাউন্ডেশন, ইনক. (&quot;আমরা&quot; বা &quot;আমাদের&quot; বা &quot;ফাউন্ডেশন&quot;), হল একটি অলাভজনক সেবামূলক প্রতিষ্ঠান, যার সদর দফতর মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের ক্যালিফোর্নিয়ার সান ফ্রান্সিসকোতে অবস্থিত, যার [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|লক্ষ্য]] হচ্ছে সারা বিশ্বের মানুষদের সক্ষম ও সর্ম্পক্ত করা যাতে তারা একটি [[w:bn:মুক্ত উপাদান|মুক্ত লাইসেন্সের]] আওতায় অথবা পাবলিক ডোমেইনে শিক্ষামূলক উপকরণ সংগ্রহ ও উন্নয়ন করতে পারে, ও তা কার্যকরভাবে এবং বিশ্বব্যাপী বিনামূল্যে বিতরন করতে পারে।

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
আমাদের এই প্রাণবন্ত সম্প্রদায়কে সমর্থন করতে, আমরা প্রয়োজনীয় অবকাঠামোগত এবং সাংগঠনিক কাঠামো প্রদান করে থাকি যাতে করে বহুভাষী উইকি প্রকল্পসমূহ এবং তাদের সংস্করণসমূহ (যেমনটা [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|এখানে]] ব্যাখ্যা করা হয়েছে) এবং অন্যান্য প্রচেষ্টাগুলো বিকশিত হতে পারে যেটা আমাদের লক্ষ্য। আমরা কঠোর প্রচেষ্টা চালাই যাতে করে এই প্রকল্পগুলোর শিক্ষামূলক এবং তথ্যমূলক উপকরণসমূহ তৈরি এবং ইন্টারনেটে সেসব পাওয়া যায় বিনামূল্যে, সব সময়ের জন্য।
&lt;/div&gt;

আমরা আপনাকে (“আপনি” অথবা “ব্যবহারকারী”) একজন পাঠক হিসেবে, সম্পাদক হিসেবে, লেখক হিসেবে, অথবা উইকিমিডিয়া প্রকল্পসমূহের অবদানকারী হিসেবে স্বাগত জানাই, এবং আমরা আপনাকে উইকিমিডিয়া সম্প্রদায়ে যুক্ত হতে উৎসাহিত করছি। তবে, যুক্ত হবার আগে আমরা আপনি অনুগ্রহ করে নিম্নের ব্যবহারের শর্তাবলীসমূহ (“ব্যবহারের শর্তাবলী”) পড়ে এ ব্যাপারে সম্মতি জানান।
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
এই ব্যবহারের শর্তাবলী আপনাকে উইকিমিডিয়া ফাউন্ডেশনের জনসাধারণের সেবাগুলি সম্পর্কে, একজন ব্যবহারকারী হিসাবে আপনার সাথে আমাদের সম্পর্ক এবং আমাদের উভয়ের অধিকার ও দায়িত্বগুলি সম্পর্কে জানায়। আমরা প্রচুর পরিমাণে শিক্ষামূলক এবং তথ্যবহুল সামগ্রী হোস্ট করি, যা সবই আপনার মতো ব্যবহারকারীদের দ্বারা অবদান রাখা এবং সম্ভব করা হয়। সাধারণত আমরা সামগ্রীতে অবদান রাখি না, পর্যবেক্ষণ করি না বা মুছে ফেলি না (কিছু বিরল ব্যতিক্রম সহ, যেমন এই ব্যবহারের শর্তাবলীর মতো নীতির অধীনে, আইনি সম্মতির জন্য, বা গুরুতর ক্ষতির জরুরি হুমকির মুখোমুখি হলে)। এর অর্থ হল সম্পাদকীয় নিয়ন্ত্রণ আপনার এবং আপনার সহ-ব্যবহারকারীদের হাতে যারা সামগ্রী তৈরি এবং পরিচালনা করেন।

সম্প্রদায় – ব্যবহারকারীদের নেটওয়ার্ক যারা ক্রমাগত প্রকল্পগুলি এবং/অথবা তাদের ওয়েবসাইটগুলি তৈরি এবং ব্যবহার করছে (এখানে “প্রকল্প ওয়েবসাইট” হিসাবে উল্লেখ করা হয়েছে) – মিশনের লক্ষ্যগুলি অর্জনের প্রধান মাধ্যম। সম্প্রদায় আমাদের প্রকল্প এবং প্রকল্প ওয়েবসাইটগুলিতে অবদান রাখে এবং সেগুলি পরিচালনা করতে সহায়তা করে। সম্প্রদায় নির্দিষ্ট প্রকল্প সংস্করণের জন্য নীতি তৈরি এবং প্রয়োগ করার গুরুত্বপূর্ণ কাজও করে (যেমন উইকিপিডিয়া প্রকল্পের বিভিন্ন ভাষার সংস্করণ বা উইকিমিডিয়া কমন্সের বহুভাষিক সংস্করণ)।

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:

* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

==১০. ওয়েবসাইট সমূহের ব্যবস্থাপনা==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part.

'''''Уявіть світ, в якому кожна людина має вільний доступ до всіх накопичених людством знань. Ми створюємо такий світ.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Декларація наших ідеалів]]

Ласкаво просимо до Вікімедіа! Фонд Вікімедіа (''Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.'', «ми») — некомерційна добродійна організація зі штаб-квартирою у Сан-Франциско (Каліфорнія, Сполучені Штати), [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|місія якої]] полягає в розширенні можливостей й залученні людей з усього світу до збору й розвитку матеріалів, опублікованих [[:w:uk:Вільні матеріали|на умовах вільної ліцензії]] чи таких, що перебувають у суспільному надбанні, а також в ефективному безкоштовному розповсюдженні їх у всьому світі.

Для підтримки нашої енергійної спільноти ми надаємо необхідну інфраструктуру й організаційні рамки, необхідні для розвитку багатомовних вікіпроєктів та їхніх версій (які описано на нашій [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|сторінці Проєктів Вікімедіа]]) (тут — «Проєкти») та інших ініціатив, які служать цій місії. Ми прагнемо зробити освітні й інформаційні матеріали цих Проєктів вільно доступними в інтернеті на безплатній основі й маємо намір зберігати їх такими протягом необмеженого терміну.

Ми раді вітати вас («ви» або «користувач») як читачів, редакторів, авторів або просто тих, хто робить будь-який внесок у Проєкти Вікімедіа, і закликаємо вас приєднатися до спільноти Вікімедіа. Проте, перед тим, як ви почнете брати участь, ми просимо вас прочитати й погодитися з наступними Умовами використання («Умови використання»).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
У цих Умовах використання розповідається про послуги, які надаються Фондом Вікімедіа, про наші стосунки з вами як користувачем, а також про права й обов'язки, якими ми спільно повинні керуватися. Ми розміщуємо неймовірну кількість освітніх та інформаційних матеріалів, і все це стало можливим завдяки доробку таких же користувачів, як і ви. Як правило, ми самі не займаємося розміщенням, моніторингом або вилученням матеріалів (за рідкісними винятками, описаними в таких правилах, як ці Умови використання, викликаними необхідністю виконання правових вимог або перед лицем невідкладної загрози серйозної шкоди). Це означає, що редакторський контроль перебуває в руках у вас і решти користувачів, що спільно з вами створюють вміст проєктів і керують ним.

Спільнота — мережа користувачів, які постійно розвивають і використовують різні Проєкти та/або їхні вебсайти (тут — «Вебсайти Проєктів»), — це основний ресурс, завдяки якому досягається мета, оголошена в нашій місії. Спільнота створює вміст наших Проєктів і Вебсайтів Проєктів. Спільнота також виконує критичну функцію створення й застосування правил і політик для конкретних розділів наших Проєктів (наприклад, різних мовних розділів Вікіпедії або багатомовного Вікісховища).

Ви, користувач, вільні приєднатися як дописувач, редактор або автор, однак ви маєте дотримуватися правил, що керують кожним незалежним розділом Проєктів, включно з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Універсальним кодексом поведінки]] (УКП), який застосовується до усіх розділів Проєктів. Найбільший з наших Проєктів — Вікіпедія, але у нас є також інші Проєкти з різними завданнями й методами роботи. У кожному розділі кожного Проєкту є свій колектив дописувачів, редакторів і авторів, що спільно працюють над створенням і керуванням вмісту свого розділу. Запрошуємо вас приєднуватися до цих колективів і співпрацювати з ними для поліпшення цих Проєктів. Оскільки ми прагнемо створення вільних, доступних і відкритих для всіх матеріалів, весь ваш доробок доступний на умовах вільної ліцензії або перебуває у суспільному надбанні.

Пам'ятайте, що ви самі несете відповідальність за весь ваш доробок, за всі свої редагування, а також за повторне використання матеріалів Вікімедіа відповідно до законодавства США та інших застосовних законів (які можуть включати закони країни, де ви мешкаєте або розташований предмет вашого внеску). Це означає, що під час публікації, зміни чи повторного використання матеріалів важливо дотримуватися обережності. У зв'язку з цією відповідальністю, у нас є деякі правила щодо того, що ви не повинні робити. Більшість цих правил призначена або для вашого власного захисту, або захисту інших таких же користувачів. Будь ласка, майте на увазі, що матеріали, зберігання й публікацію яких ми забезпечуємо, мають лише загальне інформаційне призначення, тому якщо вам потрібна порада експерта з конкретного питання (наприклад, у галузі медицини, юриспруденції або фінансів), вам слід звернутися за допомогою до відповідних фахівців. Ми також включили деякі інші важливі вказівки й застереження, і в зв'язку з цим переконливо просимо прочитати ці Умови використання до кінця.

Для ясності відзначимо, що інші організації, такі як [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|відділення Вікімедіа]], а також асоціації, що поділяють з нами нашу місію, є, однак, юридично самостійними й незалежними від Фонду Вікімедіа. Якщо інше не зазначене Фондом як авторизованою стороною на Вебсайті Проєкту, ці інші організації не несуть відповідальності за діяльність Вебсайту Проєкту чи його вміст.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Наші послуги ==

Основне завдання Фонду Вікімедіа — заохочення зростання, розвитку і розповсюдження вільних багатомовних матеріалів, а також забезпечення того, щоб повний вміст таких Проєктів залишався загальнодоступним і безкоштовним. Наша роль полягає в збереженні й обслуговуванні декількох найбільших у світі спільно-редагованих інформаційно-довідкових Проєктів, список яких [//www.wikimedia.org можна знайти тут]. Проте ми діємо виключно як провайдер хостингу, підтримуючи інфраструктуру й організаційне середовище. Ця інфраструктура й середовище дозволяють нашим користувачам розбудовувати Проєкти, самостійно створюючи і редагуючи їхній вміст. Також вони дозволяють нашим користувачам повторно використовувати ці матеріали. Інфраструктура, яку ми підтримуємо, включає спеціалізовану технічну інфраструктуру, що дозволяє користувачам програмно взаємодіяти з вмістом Проєктів і повторно його використовувати («Application Programming Interface» чи «API»), та мобільні застосунки.

У наші послуги, про які йдеться в тексті Умов використання, входять: [//www.wikimedia.org Вебсайти Проєктів, які ми хостимо], технологічна інфраструктура, яку ми підтримуємо, та будь-які технічні простори, які ми хостимо задля підтримки й покращення наших Проєктів.

У зв'язку з нашою унікальною роллю є декілька моментів щодо наших з вами відносин, наших Проєктів і інших користувачів, які ви повинні знати:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Ми не беремо на себе редакційної ролі:''' Оскільки Проєкти спільноредаговані, переважна більшість матеріалів, розміщених у нас, надається такими ж користувачами, як і ви, і ми не беремо на себе ніяких редакційних функцій. Це означає, що ми загалом не контролюємо і не редагуємо вміст Вебсайтів наших Проєктів, і не несемо відповідальності за цей вміст. Так само, якщо це прямо не зазначено додатково, ми не пропагуємо будь-які думки, виражені за допомогою наших сервісів, а також не представляємо і не гарантуємо достовірність, точність або надійність створених силами спільноти матеріалів у Проєктах.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Ви самі несете відповідальність за свої дії:''' Ви несете юридичну відповідальність за всі свої дії з додавання і зміни матеріалів у Проєктах, повторного використання вмісту Проєктів, використання API та використання наших сервісів загалом. Для власної безпеки ви повинні проявляти обережність і уникати будь-яких дій, що можують спричинити кримінальну або адміністративну відповідальність згідно з чинним законодавством. Пояснимо, що в поняття «чинного законодавства» входять, як мінімум, закони Сполучених Штатів Америки і штату Каліфорнія. Щодо інших країн, це вирішується у кожному випадку окремо. Хоча ми не можемо не погоджуватися з такими діями, ми застерігаємо користувачів — зокрема редакторів, дописувачів й авторів, — що органи влади різних країн можуть спробувати застосувати до вас закони інших країн, зокрема місцеві закони країни, де ви мешкаєте, де переглядаєте або де змінюєте ці матеріали. Ми загалом не можемо запропонувати ніякого захисту, гарантії, імунітету або компенсації у випадку застосування таких законів.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Політика конфіденційності ==

Просимо вас ознайомитися з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|умовами нашої Політики конфіденційності]], щоб ви знали про те, як ми збираємо і використовуємо вашу інформацію.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Вміст наших проектів ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Деякі матеріали можуть здатися вам небажаними або помилковими:''' Оскільки ми хостимо широкий спектр створених або зібраних іншими користувачами матеріалів, ви можете зіткнутися з таким матеріалом, що здасться вам образливим, помилковим, оманливим, хибно названим або некоректним з будь-якої іншої причини. Тому ми просимо вас при використанні наших сервісів зберігати здоровий глузд і належну розсудливість.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Вміст наших Проєктів призначений виключно для загального ознайомлення:''' Не дивлячись на те, що у наших Проєктах розміщено велику кількість інформації на різні професійні теми, включно з медичними, юридичними або фінансовими питаннями, всі ці матеріали надаються виключно в загальноінформаційних цілях. Їх не слід сприймати як професійні поради. У всіх випадках, коли вам потрібна незалежна професійна консультація, звертайтеся по неї, будь ласка, до ліцензованих чи кваліфікованих фахівців у відповідній галузі, замість того, щоб керуватися будь-якими відомостями, думками або рекомендаціями, знайденими на Вебсайтах наших Проєктів.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Утримання від деяких видів діяльності ==

Проєкти, підтримувані Фондом Вікімедіа, існують тільки завдяки активній спільноті таких же, як і ви, користувачів, які співпрацюють над спільним написанням, редагуванням і вичитуванням матеріалів. Ми радо вітаємо вашу участь у цій спільноті. Ми закликаємо вас бути ввічливими і коректними у спілкуванні з іншими учасниками спільноти, діяти сумлінно і прагнути до того, щоб розміщувані вами матеріали і виконувані вами зміни були направлені на сприяння місії спільного Проєкту. Просимо усіх користувачів переглянути і дотримуватися [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Універсального кодексу поведінки]] (УКП), в якому викладено вимоги до колективної ввічливої співпраці у всіх наших Проєктах.

Окремі види діяльності, незалежно від їх законності або незаконності згідно з відповідним законодавством, можуть завдавати збитку іншим учасникам і порушувати наші правила, а за деякі види діяльності вам, можливо, доведеться нести відповідальність. Таким чином, для вашого власного захисту і для захисту інших користувачів, вам не дозволяється займатися подібною діяльністю у наших Проєктах чи інакше їх використовувати. Це стосується таких видів діяльності:

:'''Образи й інші зловживання'''
::* погрози, переслідування, розповсюдження спаму, вандалізм або образи, як описано в УКП;
::* пересилка іншим користувачам «листів щастя», «інформаційного сміття» або спаму;
::* публікація або редагування матеріалів з метою нанесення значної шкоди іншим, зокрема навмисне підштовхування до самопошкодження або навмисне провокування епілепсії.
:'''Порушення конфіденційності третіх осіб'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* порушення права на конфіденційність інших людей, згідно з законодавством Сполучених Штатів Америки або інших застосовних законів (які можуть включати закони того регіону, в якому ви живете або переглядаєте і редагуєте інформацію);
::* з'ясування особистої інформації з метою переслідування, отримання особистої вигоди, або порушення приватності, або в будь-яких рекламних або комерційних цілях, крім випадків, коли такі цілі в явній і недвозначній формі схвалені Фондом Вікімедіа;
::* з'ясування особистої інформації у осіб, що не досягли 18 років або віку повноліття у вашій країні, якщо він складає більше 18 років, для незаконних цілей або для порушення будь-якого чинного закону, стосовно здоров'я і добробуту неповнолітніх.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Неправдиві заяви, імперсонація (підробка особистості) або шахрайство'''
::* умисна або свідома публікація інформації, що є наклепом або завдає шкоди репутації згідно з законодавством Сполучених Штатів Америки;
::* розміщення або редагування інформації з метою обману чи введення в оману інших;
::* спроба видати себе за іншого користувача або людину, спотворення інформації про ваші взаємини з будь-якою фізичною або юридичною особою, приховування вашого зв'язку з будь-якою фізичною або юридичною особою у випадках, коли розкриття такого зв'язку є обов'язковим згідно з цими Умовами або локальними правилами Проєкту, або використання імені чи імені облікового запису іншого користувача з метою обману;
::* участь у шахрайстві.
:'''Розміщення матеріалів, що порушують чужі права інтелектуальної власності'''
::* порушення авторських прав, торгових марок, патентів або інших прав власності згідно з чинним законодавством.
:'''Зловживання нашими сервісами в інших протиправних цілях'''
::* розміщення дитячої порнографії або будь-яких інших матеріалів, які порушують чинне законодавство про дитячу порнографію чи матеріалів, що містять сексуальне насилля над дітьми, або заохочення, грумінг чи захист інших у створенні чи поширенні таких матеріалів;
::* публікація або участь у незаконному обігу порнографічних матеріалів, що є неприпустимим відповідно до чинного законодавства;
::* використання сервісів способом, що суперечить чинному законодавству.
:'''Участь у деструктивному і незаконному використанні обладнання'''
::* розміщення або розповсюдження матеріалів, що містять віруси, шкідливі програми, «черв'яки», програми типу «троянський кінь», шкідливі коди або інші засоби, здатні заподіяти збиток технічній інфраструктурі або системі наших проектів або інших користувачів;
::* автоматизоване використання Вебсайтів Проєктів, що зловживає або є руйнівним для наших послуг, порушує правила прийнятного використання, де вони застосовні, і не схвалене спільнотою Вікімедіа;
::* порушення процесу надання послуг через надмірне навантаження на API, Вебсайт Проєкту, а також пов'язані з конкретним Вебсайтом Проєкту мережі або сервери;
::* порушення процесу надання послуг шляхом перевантаження будь-якого з Вебсайтів Проєкту повідомленнями або іншими інформаційними потоками, мета яких не має відношення до використання сайту Проєкту згідно з його метою;
::* навмисне підключення, спотворення або використання будь-якої закритої області наших комп'ютерних систем без дозволу;
::* зондування, сканування або тестування уразливості наших технічних систем або мереж, за винятком випадків, коли:
:::* такі дії не служать неналежному використанню або не ведуть до порушення роботи наших технічних систем і мереж;
:::* такі дії не служать цілям особистої вигоди (окрім визнання вашої роботи);
:::* ви повідомляєте про уразливість відповідних розробників MediaWiki (або виправляєте її самостійно);
:::* ви здійснюєте такі дії не зі зловмисною або деструктивною метою.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Приховування винагороди за доробок'''

::* Ви повинні розкрити будь-якого і кожного вашого роботодавця, клієнта, кінцевого бенефіціара і зв'язки з організаціями стосовно будь-якого доробку, за який ви отримуєте або очікуєте отримати компенсацію. Ви повинні повідомити про це хоча б одним з наступних шляхів:
:::* повідомлення на своїй сторінці користувача,
:::* повідомлення на сторінці обговорення, що стосується будь-якого оплачуваного внеску, або
:::* повідомлення в описі редагування, що стосується будь-якого оплачуваного внеску.
::* Крім цього, якщо робите публікації поза Проєктами, рекламуючи послуги з редагування Вікіпедії в обмін на компенсацію будь-якого роду, ви повинні розкрити усі облікові записи Вікіпедії, які ви використовуєте чи будете використовувати для цих послуг у публікаціях на сервісах третіх сторін.
::* Чинний закон або правила конкретного Проєкту та правила і настанови Фонду, наприклад ті, що стосуються конфлікту інтересів, можуть більше обмежувати платний внесок або вимагати більш детального розкриття. Наприклад, порушення правил використання Торгових марок Вікімедіа (визначених тут далі у Розділі 6) для реклами платних послуг з редагування, вилучення розкриття раніше належно розкритих платних редагувань чи платні редагування без входу в систему у спосіб, що унеможливлює належне розкриття на практиці, порушують цей розділ.
::* Спільнота Проєкту Вікімедіа може прийняти альтернативні правила щодо розкриття платного доробку, що можуть доповнювати чи заміняти цей розділ. Якщо Проєкт запроваджує альтернативні правила щодо розкриття, то під час внеску до цього Проєкту ви можете виконувати ті правила замість вимог цього розділу (під заголовком «Приховування винагороди за доробок») при здійсненні внеску до цього конкретного Проєкту.

:: Щоб дізнатися про це більше, дивіться наші [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|ЧаПи про розкриття платного внеску]].

Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

Ми залишаємо за собою право на свій розсуд здійснювати будь-які дії щодо  умов розділу 4 цих Умов використання. Де необхідно, правозастосування цих умов може включати дії, що не зазначені у [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Політиці офісних дій]] Фонду Вікімедіа. Якщо правозастосування необхідне у нових обставинах, ми докладемо зусиль задля оновлення Політики офісних дій в межах одного (1) року, щоби внести в каталог новий тип дії.

Для збільшення суми вільних знань і розвитку вільної культури, від усіх користувачів, які роблять який-небудь внесок у Проєкти чи Вебсайти Проєктів, вимагається надати необмеженому колу осіб широкі права на вільне повторне розповсюдження і використання свого внеску, за умови належного вказання авторства і посилання на джерело (т.зв. «атрибуція»), а для будь-яких похідних творів зберігатиметься така ж свобода повторного використання і розповсюдження. Відповідно до нашої мети надання вільної інформації максимально широкій аудиторії, ми вимагаємо, щоб всі матеріали, що надаються, ліцензували так, щоб всі охочі отримати до них доступ мали можливість вільного багатократного повторного використання таких матеріалів, у будь-який момент, як тільки їм це буде потрібно.

Ви погоджуєтеся з такими ліцензійними вимогами:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Текст, авторські права на який належать вам''': Якщо ви вносите текст, авторські права на який належать вам, ви погоджуєтеся з його ліцензуванням під:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} ліцензією Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International] («CC BY-SA 4.0»), а також
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html ліцензією GNU Free Documentation] («GFDL») (без номера версії, без незмінних розділів, без текстів, що поміщаються на першій і останній обкладинці).

Користувачі, що використовують матеріали повторно, можуть вибрати, умови якої одної з цих ліцензій чи обох вони виконуватимуть.&lt;br /&gt;
Єдиним винятком є випадок, коли який-небудь розділ чи функція одного з наших Проектів вимагає використання іншої ліцензії. У такому разі ви погоджуєтеся ліцензувати будь-який внесений вами текст під конкретною ліцензією, вказаною розділом Проєкту чи функцією.

Будь ласка, зверніть увагу на те, що ці ліцензії дозволяють комерційне використання вашого внеску, якщо таке використання проводиться з дотриманням умов відповідних ліцензії. Якщо ви володієте правами на бази даних sui generis, що покриваються CC BY-SA 4.0, ви відмовляєтеся від цих прав. Наприклад, це означає, що факти, які ви вносите у проєкти, можуть бути повторно використаними вільно без атрибуції.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Атрибуція:''' Атрибуція (посилання на автора і джерело) — важлива складова частина цих ліцензій. Ми вважаємо її необхідною, щоб віддати належне тим, хто цього заслуговує — авторам, як ви. Вносячи текст, ви погоджуєтеся на вказівку надалі вашого авторства будь-яким з таких способів:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;за допомогою гіперпосилання (там, де це можливо) або вказівки URL-адреси статті, де є ваш внесок (оскільки кожна стаття має свою сторінку історії, де перераховані всі дописувачі, автори і редактори);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;за допомогою гіперпосилання (де це можливо) або вказівки URL-адреси на альтернативну, стабільну онлайн-копію, що є вільнодоступною, відповідає умовам відповідної ліцензії і посилається на авторів способом, аналогічним вказівкам авторства на Вебсайті Проєкту; або&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;за допомогою зазначення списку всіх авторів (але, будь ласка, пам'ятайте, що будь-який список авторів може бути відфільтрований для виключення дуже невеликого або невідповідного внеску).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Імпортування тексту:''' Ви можете імпортувати текст, знайдений вами у іншому місці або написаний вами в співавторстві, але в такому разі ви засвідчуєте і гарантуєте, що цей текст доступний на умовах, сумісних з умовами ліцензії CC-BY-SA (або, як сказано вище, іншої ліцензії, якщо це вимога конкретного розділу Проєкту або функції). Перелік сумісних ліцензій доступний на [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Не допускається імпорт вмісту, доступного тільки на умовах ліцензії GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Ви погоджуєтеся з тим, що імпортуючи текст, доступний за ліцензією CC, що вимагає вказівки авторства (т. зв. «атрибуції»), то ви повинні вказати автора(-ів) належним чином. Якщо така атрибуція зазвичай дається у вигляді посилання на сторінку історії змін (як, наприклад, при копіюванні усередині Вікіпедії), то при імпорті тексту досить вказати таке посилання в коментарі до редагування, що зберігається в історії змін сторінки. Вимоги до форми атрибуції іноді можуть виявитися дуже нав'язливими (незалежно від ліцензії), і можливі ситуації, коли спільнота Вікімедіа вирішить, що імпортований текст не може бути використаний з цієї причини.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Нетекстові медіадані:''' Нетекстові медіадані Проєктів доступні під різними ліцензіями, які відповідають загальній меті забезпечення необмеженого повторного використання і розповсюдження. Якщо ви завантажуєте нетекстові медіадані, ви погоджуєтеся дотримуватись вимог таких ліцензій, відповідно до наших [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Правил ліцензування]], а також відповідати вимогам конкретного розділу чи функції одного з наших Проєктів, в рамках яких робите свій внесок. Див. також [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Правила ліцензування Вікісховища (Wikimedia Commons)]] з докладнішою інформацією про розміщення нетекстових медіаданих у Вікісховищі.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Неможливість відкликання ліцензії:''' Ви підтверджуєте, що не маєте наміру в односторонньому порядку відкликати або оголосити недійсною ліцензію, яку ви застосували відповідно до цих Умов використання для текстових матеріалів або нетекстових медіаданих, розміщених у Проєктах або фукнціях, навіть якщо ви припинили використання наших сервісів.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Матеріали в суспільному надбанні:''' Вітаються матеріали, що перебувають у суспільному надбанні. Проте, важливо, щоб ви підтвердили, що статус суспільного надбання відповідає законодавству Сполучених Штатів Америки, а також законам будь-яких інших країн, згідно з вимогами конкретного розділу Проєкту. Коли ви розміщуєте що-небудь, що перебуває в суспільному надбанні, ви гарантуєте, що цей матеріал дійсно перебуває в суспільному надбанні, і ви згодні позначити його відповідним чином.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Повторне використання.''' Вітається повторне використання розміщених у нас матеріалів, проте існують деякі винятки для матеріалів, що розміщуються на умовах «добропорядного використання» (''fair use'') або аналогічних випадків у застосовному авторському праві. Будь-яке повторне використання матеріалів повинне відповідати умовам основної(-их) ліцензії(-й).&lt;br /&gt;

При повторному використанні або повторному розповсюдженні текстової сторінки, створеної спільнотою Вікімедіа, ви погоджуєтеся вказувати авторів цих матеріалів одним з наступних способів:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;за допомогою гіперпосилання (там, де це можливо) або вказівки URL-адреси статті, яку ви використовуєте повторно (оскільки кожна стаття має свою сторінку історії, де перераховані всі дописувачі, автори і редактори);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;за допомогою гіперпосилання (де це можливо) або вказівки URL-адреси на альтернативну, стабільну онлайн-копію, що є вільнодоступною, відповідає умовам ліцензії і посилається на авторів способом, аналогічним вказівкам авторства на Вебсайті Проєкту; або&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;за допомогою зазначення списку всіх авторів (але, будь ласка, пам'ятайте, що будь-який список авторів може бути відфільтрований для виключення дуже невеликого або невідповідного внеску).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Якщо текстові інформаційні матеріали були імпортовані з іншого джерела, не виключено, що ці матеріали захищені ліцензією, умови якої схожі з умовами ліцензії CC BY-SA, але не ліцензії GFDL (як описано вище в розділі «Імпортування тексту»). В цьому випадку ви зобов'язуєтеся виконувати умови, сумісні з умовами ліцензії CC BY-SA, і не можете повторно ліцензувати інформаційні матеріали на умовах GFDL. Щоб визначити, яка ліцензія діє відносно інформаційних матеріалів, які ви хочете використовувати або далі розповсюдити, потрібно проглянути нижній колонтитул сторінки (т. зв. «підвал» або ''footer''), сторінку історії змін і сторінку обговорення статті.

Крім того, пам'ятайте, що текст, джерелом якого є зовнішній ресурс і який був імпортований у Проєкт, може бути захищений ліцензією, що висуває додаткові вимоги до вказівки авторства і посилань на джерело. Користувачі зобов'язуються чітко дотримуватися цих додаткових вимог до вказівки авторства і джерела. Залежно від проекту, такі вимоги можуть відбиватися, наприклад, у заголовку або інших повідомленнях, які вказують, що деякі або всі вміщені на сторінці матеріали були спочатку опубліковані у іншому місці. Там, де є такі позначення, користувачі повинні зберігати їх при подальшому використанні матеріалів.

При використанні нетекстових медіаданих ви зобов'язуєтеся дотримуватись умов застосовних ліцензій, що діють відносно цих творів (про ці умови можна дізнатися, натиснувши на твір і подивившись у розділ ліцензування на сторінці опису, або звернувшись до сторінки джерела цього твору). Використовуючи для своїх цілей будь-який розміщений у нас вміст, ви зобов'язуєтеся дотримуватися відповідних вимог до вказівки авторства і джерела, згідно з умовами основної ліцензії або ліцензій.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Внесення змін або доповнень у матеріали при їх повторному використанні.''' Вносячи зміни або доповнення до тексту, узятого з Вебсайту Проєкту, ви погоджуєтеся з тим, щоб змінені або доповнені матеріали були доступні на умовах ліцензії CC BY-SA 4.0 або її пізнішої версії (або, як мовилося вище, іншої ліцензії, якщо саме вона потрібна для даного розділу чи функції Проєкту).&lt;br /&gt;

Вносячи зміни або доповнення до нетекстових медіаданих, узятих з вебсайту Проєкту, ви погоджуєтеся з тим, щоб до змінених або доповнених матеріалів застосовувалися умови ліцензії, на яких даний твір став доступним.&lt;br /&gt;

Відносно як текстових матеріалів, так і нетекстових медіаданих ви зобов'язуєтеся чітко указувати, що оригінальний твір був змінений. Якщо ви повторно використовуєте текстові матеріали у вікі, досить вказати в історії змін сторінки, що ви внесли зміни до імпортованого тексту. До кожної поширюваної вами скопійованої або зміненої версії ви зобов'язуєтеся додавати повідомлення про те, на умовах якої ліцензії публікується даний твір, а також залишати URL-адресу або гіперпосилання на текст ліцензії або прикладати власне копію тексту ліцензії.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Фонд Вікімедіа хоче забезпечити, щоб вміст, який ми розміщуємо, міг бути повторно використаний іншими користувачами без страху відповідальності, і що він не порушує права власності інших осіб. Заради справедливості до наших користувачів, а також до інших творців і власників авторських прав, наша політика полягає в тому, щоб відповідати на повідомлення про ймовірні порушення з дотриманням формальностей Закону про авторське право у цифровому тисячолітті (DMCA). Відповідно до DMCA, за відповідних обставин ми будемо припиняти дію користувачів і власників облікових записів нашої системи та мережі, які повторно порушують авторські права.

Проте ми також розуміємо, що не кожне повідомлення про необхідність блокування потрібно вважати достовірним і складеним з добрими намірами. У таких випадках ми наполегливо рекомендуємо користувачам надіслати зустрічне повідомлення, якщо у них є достатні підстави вважати, що запит про блокування у зв'язку з порушенням DMCA є помилковим. Для отримання додаткової інформації про те, що робити, якщо ви вважаєте, що повідомлення про порушення норм DMCA було подане помилково, зверніться до вебсайту [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Якщо ви є власником вмісту, який неправомірно використовується на одному з Проєктів без вашого дозволу, ви можете зажадати видалення цього вмісту відповідно до DMCA. Щоб подати такий запит, напишіть нам на {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} або [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|надішліть звичайною поштою листа нашому уповноваженому представникові]].

Крім того, ви можете звернутися із запитом до нашої спільноти, яка часто вирішує проблему з авторськими правами швидше й ефективніше, ніж це передбачено процедурами DMCA. В цьому випадку ви можете опублікувати повідомлення з описом своїх проблем щодо авторських прав. На [[:m:Copyright problems|сторінці Проблем авторського права]] наводиться неповний неофіційний список відповідних процесів, що стосуються різних розділів наших Проєктів. Перш ніж подати позов про порушення норм DMCA, ви також можете відправити електронний лист спільноті за адресою {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Сторонні веб-сайти і ресурси ==

Ви несете повну відповідальність за своє використання будь-яких сторонніх веб-сайтів або ресурсів. Не дивлячись на те, що Проєкти і Вебсайти Проєктів містять посилання на сторонні вебсайти і ресурси, ми не схвалюємо і не несемо відповідальності за їхню доступність, точність і достовірність, а також за пов'язаний з цими ресурсами контент, продукти або послуги (включаючи, без обмежень, будь-які віруси або інші деструктивні  функції); ми також не беремо на себе ніяких зобов'язань з моніторингу подібного стороннього вмісту.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Керування веб-сайтами ==

Спільнота грає провідну роль у створенні і примусі до виконання правил, що застосовуються у різних розділах Проєктів. Фонд Вікімедіа рідко втручається в процеси ухвалення рішень щодо правил і примусу до їх виконання.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Нас можна повідомити про нелегальний вміст або матеріали, що порушують наші Умови використання (включно з усіма правилами та іншими документами, про які тут йдеться) з інших причин, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|звернувшись до нас напряму]]. Однак зазвичай ви можете зробити запит напряму спільноті Проєкту: це може бути більш ефективно і більш послідовно з огляду на мету наших Проєктів уповноважувати спільноту користувачів.
&lt;/div&gt;


Кожен Проєкт зазвичай має сторінки «Довідка» чи «Контакти» з інформацією щодо подальших дій або певні інструменти для повідомлення про проблеми. В іншому разі (якщо ви сумніваєтеся) ви можете звернутися по допомогу до членів спільноти, надіславши електронного листа на {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} або адресу для конкретної мови зі списку на [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|сторінці Volunteer Response Team]].  Зверніть, будь ласка, увагу, що за цими електронними скриньками стежать користувачі Проєктів, а не Фонд. Як наслідок, їм не можна погрожувати чи пред'являти юридичні вимоги.

Якщо ви звертаєтеся до Фонду з проблемою, ми зазвичай досліджуємо чи можуть наявні механізми спільноти розібратися і, де необхідно, вирішити її, і як.

У деяких виняткових випадках може виникнути необхідність або спільнота може звернутися до нас, щоб ми врегулювали складнощі з особливо проблемним користувачем або особливо проблемним матеріалом у зв'язку зі значними порушеннями правил Проєкту або небезпечною поведінкою. У таких випадках ми залишаємо за собою право на наш власний розсуд (або де ми юридично зобов'язані):

* вивчити використання вами Проєктів чи наших послуг, щоб (а) визначити, чи мало місце порушення даних Умов використання, правил конкретного розділу проекту або інших застосовних законів або політик, або (б) виконати вимоги чинного законодавства, судового процесу або відповідного урядового запиту;
* виявляти, попереджати або вживати інші заходи щодо шахрайства, хибної чи неперевірної інформації, проблем з безпекою або технічних питань, або відповідати на запити користувачів;
* відмовляти, відкидати, вимикати або обмежувати доступ до внеску будь-якого користувача, що порушує ці Умови використання;
* заборонити користувачеві редагувати або розміщувати матеріали або заблокувати обліковий запис користувача, або відмовити йому в доступі у відповідь на дії, що порушують ці Умови використання, зокрема у відповідь на неодноразову публікацію незаконних матеріалів згідно із застосовним законодавство відповідно до принципів прав людини;
* вжити передбачені законом заходи проти користувачів, що порушують ці Умови використання (зокрема, повідомити правоохоронні органи);
* іншим чином керувати вебсайтами Проєктів так, щоб забезпечити їхнє належне функціонування і захист прав, власності і безпеки нас і наших користувачів, ліцензіарів, партнерів і громадськості.

Ці заходи Фонду з модерації можуть використовувати інформацію або виконуватися програмним забезпеченням (таким як захист від перевантаження трафіком («Denial of Service»)). У таких випадках зазвичай доступний розгляд людиною, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|за запитом]].

В інтересах наших користувачів і Проєктів, у крайніх обставинах, коли обліковий запис або доступ учасника були заблоковані відповідно до даного розділу, він або вона не мають права створити або використовувати інший обліковий запис або дістати доступ до того ж Проєкту, якщо тільки ми не дамо на це чіткого і ясного дозволу. Щоб не обмежувати владу спільноти, Фонд Вікімедіа сам по собі не заборонятиме користувачеві редагувати або публікувати матеріали, а також не блокуватиме обліковий запис учасника або його доступ до проекту тільки через конструктивну критику, яка не призводить до дій, що будь-яким іншим чином порушують дані Умови використання або правила спільноти.

Спільнота Вікімедіа і її члени можуть також вживати заходи щодо користувачів, що порушують ці правила, включаючи, серед іншого, попередження, розслідування, блокування або відключення таких користувачів, якщо подібне допускається спільнотою і правилами Фонду, застосовними до конкретної версії Проєкту. Ви даєте згоду дотримуватися остаточних рішень органів вирішення спорів, що засновані спільнотою в рамках конкретної версії Проєкту (наприклад, арбітражні комітети); ці рішення можуть включати санкції, викладені в правилах конкретної версії Проєкту.

До особливо проблемних користувачів, чиї облікові записи або доступ були заблоковані відразу в декількох розділах наших Проєктів, може бути застосоване відключення від одразу всіх розділів Проєктів, відповідно до [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Політики глобальної заборони («глобального бану»)]]. На відміну від рішень Ради повірених або даних Умов використання, прийняті спільнотою правила і політики, що діють в одному або декількох розділах наших Проєктів (як, наприклад, Політика глобальної заборони), можуть бути змінені відповідними спільнотами згідно з їхніми власними процедурами.

Блокування облікового запису користувача або обмеження його доступу («бан»), здійснювані згідно з цим положенням, повинні відповідати розділу 13 даних Умов використання.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.

== 13. Припинення дії ==

Хоча ми і сподіваємося, що ви продовжите і надалі вносити внесок до наших Проєктів, ви можете у будь-який момент відмовитися від використання наших сервісів. У деяких (ми сподіваємося, маловірогідних) обставинах може виявитися необхідним, щоб у цілях захисту інтересів Фонду, спільноти Вікімедіа або її окремих користувачів (згідно з розділом 10) було припинено повністю або частково надання вам доступу до наших сервісів, зупинена дія цих Умов використання, заблокований ваш обліковий запис або доступ, або ж була накладена заборона на вашу участь як користувача (т. зв. «бан»). Якщо ваш обліковий запис або доступ заблоковані або іншим чином обмежені з якої-небудь причини, ваш публічний внесок і журнали вашої діяльності у Проєктах чи пов'язаної з ними (включно з кореспонденцією, яку ви нам надсилали) залишається незмінним (згідно із застосовними правилами), і ви все одно маєте доступ до наших загальнодоступних сторінок для єдиної мети читання загальнодоступного вмісту наших проектів. Проте, за таких умов ви не зможете дістати доступ до вашого облікового запису або персональних налаштувань. Однак, незалежно від інших положень цих Умов використання, ми залишаємо за собою право призупинити або припинити надання послуг у будь-який час, з вказівкою або без вказівки причини, а також з попереднім повідомленням або без нього. Навіть після того, як ваша участь заборонена, заблокована або іншим чином припинена, дані Умови використання залишатимуться в силі відносно відповідних положень, включаючи розділи 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9—16 і 18.

Ми сподіваємося, що ваша участь не супроводжуватиметься ніякими серйозними розбіжностями, проте у разі виникнення суперечок ми закликаємо вас вирішувати їх за допомогою відповідних процедур або механізмів вирішення суперечок, що забезпечуються нашими Проєктами або їхніми розділами, а також Фондом Вікімедіа. Якщо ви маєте намір подати проти нас судовий позов, ви погоджуєтеся подавати його і вирішувати суперечку тільки в суді штату або федеральному суді, розташованому в Сан-Франциско, штат Каліфорнія. Ви також погоджуєтеся, що дані Умови використання, а також будь-які юридичні претензії, які можуть виникнути між нами, регулюватимуться і вирішуватимуться на підставі законів штату Каліфорнія, і, в міру необхідності, законів Сполучених Штатів Америки (без посилання на принцип колізійного права). Ви зобов'язуєтеся підкорятися персональній юрисдикції і погоджуєтеся з доцільністю місця розгляду справи, якими є суди, розташовані в Сан-Франциско, штат Каліфорнія, в будь-яких правових діях або процедурах, що мають відношення до нас або даних Умов використання.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Щоб гарантувати, що суперечки вирішуватимуться негайно після їх виникнення, ви погоджуєтеся, що, незалежно від будь-якого законодавчого акту або закону, що затверджує протилежне, будь-які претензії, що є у вас, або підстави для позову, які витікають з або зв'язані з використанням наших сервісів або із даними Умовами використання, повинні бути подані (залежно від того, що наступить раніше) протягом встановленого терміну позовної давності або протягом 1 (одного) року після того, як відповідні факти, що складають основу такої претензії або позову, могли бути виявлені при розумній уважності (або назавжди заборонені).

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Ми надаємо ці сервіси за принципом «як є» (''as is'') і «як доступно» (''as available''), і ми недвозначно відмовляємося давати будь-які явні або непрямі гарантії будь-якого роду, включаючи, серед іншого, непрямі гарантії, що маються на увазі, придатності для конкретних цілей і відсутності порушень авторських прав.

Ніякі поради або інформація, отримані вами від нас або за допомогою наших сервісів, або завдяки ним, чи то в усній або письмовій формі, не гарантують нічого, якщо тільки це чітко і ясно не вказано в даних Умовах використання.

Завантаження або отримання іншим чином будь-яких матеріалів за допомогою використання наших сервісів здійснюється вами на власний страх і ризик, і ви нестимете повну відповідальність за збиток, нанесений вашій комп'ютерній системі, або втрату даних у результаті завантаження таких матеріалів. Ви погоджуєтеся з тим, що ми не несемо ніякої відповідальності або зобов'язань за видалення, пошкодження, втрату або неможливість передачі яких-небудь матеріалів або повідомлень, що відносяться до наших сервісів.

У деяких штатах або юрисдикціях не допускаються відмови від відповідальності, подібні наведеним у даному розділі, тому, залежно від закону, вони можуть частково або в повному об'ємі опинитися для вас непридатні.&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Фонд Вікімедіа не нестиме відповідальності перед вами або будь-якою іншою особою за будь-які прямі, непрямі, випадкові, спеціальні, подальші або штрафні збитки, включаючи (але не обмежуючись цим) упущений прибуток, збиток ділової репутації, компенсації за використання, псування даних або інші нематеріальні збитки, незалежно від наявності попереджень про можливість таких збитків. Ні за яких обставин наша відповідальність в сукупності не може перевищувати тисячу доларів США (USD 1000,00). У тому випадку, якщо чинне законодавство не допускає обмеження або виключення відповідальності за випадкові або непрямі збитки, вищезгадане обмеження або виключення може не розповсюджуватися на ваш випадок, хоча наша відповідальність буде обмежена в максимальному ступені, дозволеному чинним законодавством.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Внесення змін до даних Умов використання ==

Оскільки внесок спільноти Вікімедіа виключно важливий для зростання і підтримки Проєктів, ми вважаємо інформування і залученість спільноти важливим елементом того, щоб ці Умови використання належним чином відповідали інтересам наших користувачів. Це також необхідно для того, щоб така угода могла вважатися «справедливим контрактом» (''fair contract''). Тому ми зобов'язуємося надати спільноті для обговорення і коментування ці Умови використання (а також будь-які їхні майбутні редакції) щонайменше за 30 (тридцять) днів до закінчення періоду, відведеного на обговорення і коментарі. Якщо плануються істотні зміни, ми надамо додаткові 30 днів для представлення зауважень після публікації перекладу пропонованих змін принаймні трьома мовами (вибраними на наш розсуд). Спільноті буде запропоновано перекласти пропоновані зміни іншими мовами за необхідності. У випадках змін, викликаних правовими або адміністративними причинами, необхідністю виправити неточні заяви, або змін, що є реакцією на коментарі спільноти, ми маємо намір відвести принаймні 3 (три) дні на попереднє повідомлення.

Оскільки може виявитися необхідним час від часу змінювати ці Умови використання, ми надамо повідомлення про такі зміни і можливість висловити свої зауваження через вебсайти Проектів, а також через список розсилки [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Проте, ми просимо вас періодично проглядати найостаннішу версію даних Умов використання. Те, що ви продовжуєте користуватися нашими сервісами після того, як нова версія Умов використання стає офіційною вслід за повідомленням і після закінчення подальшого дискусійного періоду, розглядається як ваша згода із даними Умовами використання. Для захисту Фонду Вікімедіа і інших таких же, як і ви, користувачів, не користуйтеся нашими сервісами, якщо не згодні з нашими Умовами використання.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Інші умови ==

Дані Умови використання не створюють відносин зайнятості, агентства, партнерства, спільного контролю або спільного підприємства між вами і нами, Фондом Вікімедіа. У розумінні законодавства Європейської економічної зони, Сполученого Королівства та інших країн, де застосовується аналогічне поняття, ви не дієте «під керівництвом» Фонду Вікімедіа під час використання наших послуг. Якщо ви не підписували з нами окремої угоди, дані Умови використання є вичерпною угодою між вами і нами. Якщо є суперечність між даними Умовами використання і підписаною між вами і нами письмовою угодою, переважну силу має підписана угода.

Ви погоджуєтеся з тим, що ми можемо повідомляти вас, зокрема про внесення змін до Умов використання, за допомогою вашої електронної пошти, звичайного поштового зв'язку або шляхом розміщення повідомлень у Проєктах чи на Вебсайтах Проєктів.

Якщо при яких-небудь обставинах ми не застосовуємо або не наполягаємо на примусовому застосуванні якого-небудь положення даних Умов використання, це не свідчить про відмову від цього положення.

Ви усвідомлюєте, що, якщо інше не обумовлене нами у письмовій формі, ви не повинні чекати отримання компенсації за будь-яку діяльність, внесок або ідею, яку ви надаєте нам, спільноті, а також Проєктам або їхнім окремим розділам.

Незважаючи на будь-які положення даних Умов використання, в яких затверджується протилежне, ми (Фонд Вікімедіа) разом з вами спільно зобов'язуємося не змінювати чинні умови і вимоги будь-якої вільної ліцензії, яка використовується в Проєктах або їхніх розділах, якщо використання такої вільної ліцензії дозволене даними Умовами використання.

Дані Умови використання були написані англійською мовою (американський варіант). Хоча ми сподіваємося, що переклади чинних Умов використання точні, у разі яких-небудь різночитань між оригінальною англійською версією і перекладом перевагу має оригінальна версія англійською мовою.

Якщо яке-небудь положення або частина положення даних Умов використання буде визнано незаконним, недійсним або нездійсненним, таке положення або частина положення вважатиметься відокремленим від даних Умов використання і виконуватиметься в максимально можливому дозволеному ступені, зі збереженням у повній силі усіх інших положень даних Умов використання.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Дякуємо! ==

Ми вдячні вам за те, що ви знайшли час прочитати ці Умови використання, і дуже раді вашому внеску в Проєкти, а також тому, що ви користуєтеся нашими послугами. Своїм внеском ви допомагаєте побудувати щось дійсно значне — не тільки значущі спільно-редаговані енциклопедичні Проєкти, що дають можливість освіти й інформацію мільйонам людей, яким інакше вона могла б не бути доступною, але і динамічну спільноту однодумців і колег, зосереджену на вельми благородній меті.

'''''Уявіце сьвет, у якім кожны чалавек можа вольна дзяліцца сумай усіх ведаў. Гэта нашае забавязаньне.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Нашая заява пра бачаньне]]

Вітаем у «Вікімэдыі»! Фундацыя «Вікімэдыя» («мы» або «нас») — некамэрцыйная дабрачынная арганізацыя з галаўной сядзібай у Сан-Францыска (Каліфорнія), [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|прызначэньнем]] якой ёсьць заахвочваньне і прыцягненьне людзей ва ўсім сьвеце да збору і распрацоўкі матэрыялаў на ўмовах [[w:be-tarask:Вольныя матэрыялы|вольнай ліцэнзіі]] ці ў грамадзкага набытку, а таксама іх эфэктыўны распаўсюд па ўсім сьвеце, бясплатна.

Для падтрымкі нашай энэргічнай супольнасьці мы прадстаўляем усю неабходную інфраструктуру і арганізацыйныя асновы для разьвіцьця шматмоўных вікіпраектаў (як тлумачыцца на старонцы [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Праекты «Вікімэдыі»]], называная тут «Праекты»), а таксама іншыя магчымасьці, якія служаць нашаму прызначэньню. Мы стараемся стварыць і захаваць адукацыйны і інфармацыйны зьмест нашых Праектаў даступным у сеціве, бясплатна і назаўжды.

Вітаем Вас («Вы» або «ўдзельнік») як чытача(-ку), [[:w:be-tarask:Вікіпэдыя:Як рэдагаваць існы артыкул|рэдактара]](-ку), аўтара(-ку) ці ўкладальніка(-цу) праектаў «Вікімэдыі». Заахвочваем Вас далучыцца да Вікісупольнасьці. Перад тым, як узяць удзел, тым ня менш, просім Вас прачытаць і пагадзіцца на наступныя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня («Умовы выкарыстаньня»).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня распавядуць Вам пра адкрытыя паслугі Фундацыі «Вікімэдыя», нашае стаўленьне да Вас як карыстальніка(-цы) і правы ды адказнасьць, якія ёсьць і ў нас, і ў Вас. Мы жадаем, каб Вы ведалі, што мы ўтрымліваем невымерны аб’ём адукацыйнага і інфармацыйнага зьместу, унесенага такімі ж, як Вы, удзельнікамі(-цамі). Звычайна мы ня ўносім, не адсочваем і не выдаляем зьмест (за выняткам, напрыклад, гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня, падпарадкаваньня закону або сутыкненьня з тэрміновай пагрозай паважнай шкоды). Гэта значыць, што рэдакцыйны кантроль знаходзіцца ў Вашых руках і руках Вашых калег, якія ствараюць гэты зьмест і кіруюць ім.

Супольнасьць, як сетка ўдзельнікаў(-ц), якія пастаянна будуюць і выкарыстоўваюць разнастайныя бачыны або праекты — гэта галоўны сродак у дасягненьні задачаў нашага прызначэньня. Супольнасьць дапісвае нашыя бачыны і дапамагае кіраваць імі. Яна бярэ на сябе выключную функцыю стварэньня і ажыцьцяўленьня правілаў адмысловых вэрсіяў Праекту (такіх як розныя моўныя вэрсіі праекту «Вікіпэдыя» або шматмоўнага «Вікісховішча»).

Запрашаем далучыцца ў якасьці дапісчыкаў(-ц), рэдактараў(-к) і аўтараў(-к). Але Вы маеце выконваць правілы, якія абумоўліваюць кожнае незалежнае выданьне праекту, у тым ліку [[Policy:Universal Code of Conduct/be-tarask|Усеагульны звод паводзінаў]], які прымяняюць да ўсіх выданьняў Праекту. Найбольшы з нашых праектаў — гэта Вікіпэдыя. Але мы ўтрымліваем і іншыя праекты, кожны зь якіх мае розныя задачы і спосабы працы. Выданьне кожнага праекту мае дружыну дапісчыкаў(-ц), рэдактараў(-к) і аўтараў(-к), якія супрацоўнічаюць у стварэньні зьместу і распараджэньні ім у выданьні гэтага праекту. Запрашаем далучацца да гэтых дружынаў і працаваць зь імі над паляпшэньнем гэтых праектаў. Унесены Вамі зьмест даступны на ўмовах вольнай ліцэнзіі або выпускаецца ў грамадзкі набытак, бо мы адданыя рабіць зьмест вольнадаступным грамадзкасьці.

Калі ласка, ведайце, што Вы праўна адказныя за ўвесь Ваш унёсак, рэдагаваньні і спажываньне зьместу «Вікімэдыі» паводле заканадаўства Злучаных Штатаў Амэрыкі і іншых датычных законаў (якія могуць улучаць заканадаўства паводле месца Вашага пражываньня, прагляду або рэдагаваньня зьместу). Гэта значыць, што Вам важна быць асьцярожнымі пры разьмяшчэньні зьместу. У сьвятле адказнасьці мы маем некаторыя правілы наконт таго, што Вы ня можаце разьмяшчаць, большасьць якіх служыць абароне Вас і іншых такіх самых удзельнікаў(-ц). Калі ласка, майце на ўвазе, што зьмест, які мы ўтрымліваем, — толькі для агульных весткавых задачаў, таму Вам варта шукаць дапамогі належнага прафэсіянала, калі Вам патрабуецца парада знаўцы ў дакладнай справе (такой як лекарская, праўная або грашовая). Мы таксама зьмясьцілі іншыя важныя папярэджаньні і адмову ад адказнасьці, таму, калі ласка, прачытайце гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня цалкам.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Для яснасьці, іншыя такія ўстановы, як [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|мясцовыя аддзяленьні «Вікімэдыі»]] і аб'яднаньні, якія могуць падзяляць аднолькавае прызначэньне, — праўна незалежныя і асобныя ад Фундацыі «Вікімэдыя». Гэтыя арганізацыі не нясуць адказнасьці за дзейнасьць вэб-бачыны Праекту або яе зьместу, калі Фундацыя не заявіла іншага ў якасьці ўпаўнаважанага боку на адпаведнай вэб-бачыне Праекту.

== 1. Нашыя паслугі ==

Фундацыя «Вікімэдыя» адданая заахвочваньню росту, разьвіцьцю і распаўсюду вольнага шматмоўнага зьместу, а таксама разьмяшчэньню поўнага зьместу гэтых вікіпраектаў для грамадзкасьці задарма. Нашая роля — разьмяшчаць некаторыя з найбольшых у сьвеце супольна рэдагаваных праектаў даведкі, якія магчыма адшукаць [//www.wikimedia.org тут]. Аднак мы дзеім толькі ў якасьці службы разьмяшчэньня і падтрымкі інфраструктуры і арганізацыйных рамак. Яны дазваляюць нашым удзельніцам(-кам) будаваць праекты «Вікімэдыі» праз унёсак і рэдагаваньне зьместу. Яны таксама дазваляюць удзельнікам карыстацца гэтым зьместам. Утрымліваная намі інфраструктура ўлучае адмысловыя тэхнічныя сродкі, што дазваляюць удзельнікам праграма ўзаемадзейнічаць і карыстацца зьместам у Праектах (называных «Дастасоўны праграмны інтэрфэйсам» або «ДПІ») і мабальных дастасунках.

Гэта значыць, што мы агулам не адсочваем і не рэдагуем зьмест вэб-бачынаў праекта, і не нясем адказнасьці за гэты зьмест. Падобным чынам мы не заахвочваем меркаваньні, выказаныя праз нашыя паслугі, і не прадстаўляем ды не ручаемся за праўдзівасьць, дакладнасьць або надзейнасьць пададзенага супольнасьцю зьместу. Замест гэтага, мы проста даем доступ да зьместу, які Вашыя саўдзельнікі ўнесьлі і адрэдагавалі.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Дзеля яснасьці, адпаведны закон улучае прынамсі законы Злучаных Штатаў Амэрыкі. Мы папярэджваем рэдактараў і дапісчыкаў, што ўлады могуць імкнуцца прымяніць да Вас законы іншай краіны, улучна з законамі па месцы Вашага пражываньня або прагляду ці рэдагаваньня зьместу. Фундацыя «Вікімэдыя» агулам ня можа прапанаваць абарону, паруку, недатыкальнасьць або пакрыцьцё.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Каб нарошваць абсяг вольных ведаў і вольнай культуры, ад усіх дапісчыц і дапісчыкаў у праекты патрабуецца даць абшырныя дазволы шырокай грамадзкасьці паўторна пашыраць і выкарыстоўваць іх унёсак вольна, пакуль гэтае выкарыстаньне належна прыпісваюць, а аднолькавая свабода паўторна карыстацца і пашыраць даецца на вытворныя працы. У адпаведнасьці з нашай мэтай падачы вольных зьвестак найшырэйшай магчымай аўдыторыі мы патрабуем, каб увесь пададзены зьмест дазвалялі вольна перавыкарыстоўваць усялякай асобе, якая зацікавіцца доступам да яе.
&lt;/div&gt;

Вы згаджаецеся з наступнымі патрабаваньнямі дазволу:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Тэкст, на які Вы маеце аўтарскае права:''' Калі Вы ўносіце тэкст, Вы згаджаецеся яго даць на ўмовах:

* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html дазволу на вольную дакумэнтацыю ГНУ] («ДВДГ») (безварыянтнага, безь нязьменных разьдзелаў і тэкстаў на вокладцы сьпераду і ззаду).

Карыстальнікі могуць трымацца любога з дазволаў ці абодвух.&lt;br /&gt;
Адзіны вынятак, калі выданьне або рыса праекту патрабуе іншага дазволу. У такім выпадку Вы згаджаецеся даць тэкст, які дапісваеце, на ўмовах гэтага дакладнага дазволу, прапісанага ў выданьні або рысе Праекту.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Калі ласка, майце на ўвазе, што гэтыя дазволы дапушчаюць камэрцыйнае выкарыстаньне Вашага ўнёску пакуль тое адпавядае ўмовам.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Пазначэньне''' — важная частка гэтых дазволаў. Мы лічым яго за наданьне прызнаньня, дзе яно — заслужанае, такім творцам, як і Вы. Вы згаджаецеся пазначацца любым з наступных спосабаў, калі дапісваеце тэкст:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Праз гіпэрспасылку (дзе магчыма) або ўніфікаваны лякатар рэсурсу ў артыкуле, які Вы дапісалі (бо кожны артыкул мае старонку гісторыі, якая пералічвае ўсіх творцаў і рэдактараў);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Праз гіпэрспасылку (дзе магчыма) або УЛР на другую, устойлівую анлайн-копію ў вольным доступе, якая адпавядае дазволу і дае творцам прызнаньне, адпаведнае дадзенаму на вэб-бачыне праекту; або&lt;/li&gt;

Даступны толькі на ўмовах ГДВД зьмест — недапушчальны.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Вы згаджаецеся, што маеце прызнаць творцу разумным чынам, калі ўводзіце тэкст на ўмовах дазволу ТГПААУ. Дастаткова даць пазначэньне ў падсумаваньні праўкі, якое запісваецца ў гісторыі старонкі пры ўводзе тэксту, калі такое прызнаньне звычайна даюць праз гісторыю старонкі (як пры ўнутраным вікікапіяваньні). Патрабаваньні да пазначэньня часам надта дакучлівыя для асаблівых акалічнасьцяў (незалежна ад дазволу), і могуць быць выпадкі, дзе супольнасьць «Вікімэдыі» вырашыць, што ўведзены тэкст нельга скарыстаць па гэтай прычыне.

Вы абяцаеце, што матэрыял насамрэч у грамадзкім набытку, і згодныя належна яго пазначыць, калі ўносіце зьмест у грамадзкім набытку.&lt;/li&gt;

Паўторнае выкарыстаньне мае падпарадкоўвацца галоўнаму дазволу.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Вы згаджаецеся пазначаць творцаў любым з наступных спосабаў, калі паўторна выкарыстоўваеце або пашыраеце тэкставую старонку, распрацаваную супольнасьцю «Вікімэдыі»:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

Магчыма, што зьмест даецца на ўмовах, суладных з дазволам ТГПААУ, але не ГДВД (як апісана вышэй ва «Ўводзе тэксту»), калі тэкставы зьмест уведзены зь іншай крыніцы. У такім выпадку Вы згодныя трымацца суладнага з ТГПААУ дазволу і ня можаце падаць яго на ўмовах ГДВД. Вам варта агледзець калёнтытул і гісторыю старонкі, а таксама старонку абмеркаваньня, каб вызначыць дазвол, які датычыць зьместу, які Вы імкнецеся паўторна скарыстаць або пашырыць.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
У дадатак, калі ласка, ведайце, што тэкст, які паходзіў з вонкавых крыніцаў і ўведзены ў праект, можа мець дазвол, які накладае дадатковыя патрабаваньні пазначэньня. У залежнасьці ад праекту такія патрабаваньні могуць паказвацца, прыкладам, у шапцы або іншых абазначэньнях, якія зьвяртаюць увагу, што нейкі або ўвесь зьмест першапачаткова абнародавалі ў іншым месцы. Карыстальнікі маюць захаваць іх там, дзе ёсьць такія бачныя абазначэньні.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Для нятэкставага мультымэдыя Вы згаджаецеся трымацца дазволу, паводле якога працу зрабілі даступнай (які магчыма адкрыць пстрыкам на працы і праглядам дазвольнага разьдзелу на старонцы яе апісаньня або аглядам адпаведнай крынічнай старонкі той працы). Вы згаджаецеся трымацца належных патрабаваньняў пазначэньня, калі карыстаецеся зьместам, які мы разьмяшчаем, бо тыя патрабаваньні маюць дачыненьне да галоўнага дазволу.

Фундацыя «Вікімэдыя» жадае забясьпечыць, каб зьместам, які мы разьмяшчаем, маглі карыстацца іншыя ўдзельнікі бяз боязі адказнасьці, і каб ён не парушаў уласьніцкіх правоў іншых. Дзеля справядлівасьці да нашых удзельніц і ўдзельнікаў, а таксама іншых творцаў і праваўладальнікаў у нашых правілах адказваць на абвесткі пра меркаванае правапарушэньне, якія адпавядаюць умоўнасьцям Закону аб аўтарскім праве лічбавага тысячагодзьдзя (ЗАПЛТ). У адпаведнасьці з ЗАПЛТ мы спынім у належных абставінах удзельніц(-каў) і ўласьніц(-каў) уліковых запісаў у нашай сыстэме і сетцы, якія зьяўляюцца паўторнымі правапарушальнікамі.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Аднак мы таксама прызнаем, што ня кожнае паведамленьне наконт зьняцьця абгрунтаванае або добрасумленнае. У такіх выпадках мы настойліва заахвочваем удзельніц і ўдзеьнікаў падаць сустрэчныя паведамленьні, калі яны належна лічаць запыт на зьняцьцё паводле ЗАПЛТ неабгрунтаваным або няправільным. Вы магчыма пажадаеце параіцца з $lumendb (раней вядомым як $chilling) наконт дадатковых зьвестак пра тое, што рабіць, калі Вы мяркуеце, што паведамленьне паводле ЗАПЛТ падалі няправільна.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Вы можаце запытаць, каб зьмест прыбралі паводле ЗАПЛТ, калі зьяўляецеся ўласьнікам зьместу, які неналежна скарысталі ў адным з праектаў бяз Вашага дазволу. Калі ласка, лістуйце нам на {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} або папяровай поштай вызначанай(-му) прадстаўніцы(-ку) на гэты [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|адрас]].

Акрамя таго, Вы можаць зрабіць запыт да нашай супольнасьці, якая часта кіруе справамі аўтарскіх правоў хутчэй і больш дзейсна, чым прадпісваюць умовы ЗАПЛТ. У такім выпадку Вы можаце даслаць паведамленьне з тлумачэньнем Вашых турботаў наконт аўтарскага права.

Супольнасьць мае першасную ролю ў стварэньні і ажыцьцяўленьні правілаў, датычных розных выданьняў праекту. У Фундацыі «Вікімэдыя» мы рэдка ўмешваемся ў рашэньні супольнасьці аб правілах і іх ажыцьцяўленьні. У незвычайным выпадку можа ўзьнікнуць патрэба або супольнасьць можа папрасіць нас зьвярнуцца да асабліва складанай(-га) удзельніцы(-ка) праз істотны непакой або пагрозьлівыя паводзіны ў праекце. У такіх выпадках мы захоўваем права, але не абавязаныя:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

* Дасьледаваць Вашае карыстаньне паслугай, каб: 1. вызначыць, ці мела месца парушэньне гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня, правілаў рэдагаваньня праекту або іншага датычнага закону ці правіла, або 2. трымацца датычнага закону, праўнага разгляду ці належнага ўрадавага запыту;
* Выявіць, прадухіліць або інакш зьвярнуць увагу на махлярства, бясьпеку ці тэхнічныя пытаньні або адказаць на запыты тэхнічнай падтрымкі;
* Адмовіць у доступе да ўнёску ўдзельніцы(-ку), якая(-і) парушае гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня, а таксама пазбавіць і абмежаваць яго;
* Забараніць удзельніцы(-ку) рэдагаваньне або ўнёсак ці заблякаваць уліковы запіс удзельніцы(-ка) або дзеяньні, якія парушаюць гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня, у тым ліку паўторнае парушэньне аўтарскага права;
* Падаць у суд на ўдзельніц(-каў), якія парушаюць гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня (у тым ліку данесьці праваахоўным уладам); і
* Весьці па-іншаму вэб-бачыны праекту такім чынам, каб садзейнічаць іх належнай працы і абараніць свае правы, уласнасьць і бясьпеку, а таксама нашых удзельніц(-каў), дазволадаўцаў, супольнікаў і грамадзкасьці.

Вы згаджаецеся трымацца канчатковых рашэньняў установаў вырашэньня спрэчкі, якія засноўвае супольнасьць для адмысловых выданьняў праекту (такіх як трацейскія камітэты). Гэтыя рашэньні могуць улучаць захады, выкладзеныя ў правіле адмысловага выданьня праекту.

Асабліва складаныя ўдзельніцы(-кі), чые ўліковыя запісы або доступ блякавалі ў шматлікіх выданьнях праекту, могуць падвяргацца забароне ва ўсіх выданьнях праекту ў адпаведнасьці з [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Правілам сусьветнай забароны]]. Усталяваныя супольнасьцю правілы, якія могуць ахопліваць адно або мноства (як Правіла сусьветнай забароны) выданьняў праекту, могуць зьмяняцца адпаведнай супольнасьцю згодна зь яе ўласнымі парадкамі ў адрозьненьне ад рашэньняў Управы або гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня.

Блякаваньне ўліковага запісу ці доступу або забарона ўдзельніцы(-ка) паводле гэтай умовы мае адпавядаць Разьдзелу 13 гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня.

If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.

У пэўных (трэба спадзявацца неверагодных) акалічнасьцях нам або супольнасьці «Вікімэдыі» ці яе сябрам (апісаным у Разьдзеле 10) можа спатрэбіцца закончыць частку нашых паслугаў або ўсе зь іх, скасаваць гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня, заблякаваць Ваш уліковы запіс або доступ ці Вас як удзельніцу(-ка). Ваш абнародаваны ўнёсак застанецца адкрыта даступным (паводле адпаведных правілаў), калі Ваш уліковы запіс або доступ заблякуюць або інакш скасуюць зь любой нагоды. І Вы можаце надалей мець доступ да нашых абнародаваных старонак дзеля адзінай задачы прачытаньня адкрыта даступнага зьместу ў праектах, пакуль мы не абавясьцім Вам пра адваротнае.

As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

У Фундацыі «Вікімэдыя» мы робім усё магчымае, каб даць адукацыйны і зьвесткавы зьмест вельмі шырокай аўдыторыі, але Вашае карыстаньне нашымі паслугамі — на Ваш уласны страх. Мы даем гэтыя паслугі па ўмовах «як ёсьць» і «як даступна». І мы выразна і поўнасьцю адмаўляемся ад дакладных або падразумяваных парукаў прадавальнасьці, прыдатнасьці для пэўнай задачы і адсутнасьці парушэньняў. Мы не ручаемся, што нашыя паслугі адпавядаюць Вашым патрабаваньням і зьяўляюцца бясьпечнымі, надзейнымі, безупыннымі, своечасовымі, дакладнымі або беспамылковымі ці што, Вашыя зьвесткі будуць ахаванымі.

Мы не адказваем за зьмест, зьвесткі або дзеяньні трэціх бакоў. І Вы вызваляеце нас, нашых кіраўнікоў, службоўцаў, супрацоўнікаў і прадстаўнікоў ад позваў і пакрыцьця стратаў, як вядомых гэтак і невядомых, што паўстаюць або любым спосабам зьвязаныя з позвай, якую Вы маеце супраць такіх трэціх бакоў. Ніякая парада або зьвесткі, як вусны так і пісьмовыя, атрыманыя Вамі ад нас або праз нашыя паслугі ці зь іх, не ствараюць паруку, выразна не заяўленую ў гэтых Умовах выкарыстаньня.

Матэрыял запампаваны або інакш здабыты праз Вашае карыстаньне нашымі паслугамі на Вашае ўласнае меркаваньне і страх. І Вы аднаасобна адказныя за шкоду Вашай кампутарнай сыстэме або страту зьвестак, якая вынікае з запампоўкі такога матэрыялу. Вы згаджаецеся, што мы не нясем адказнасьці або абавязкаў за выдаленьне ці перабой у захоўваньні або перадачы зьместу або зносінаў, утрымваныя паслугай. Мы захоўваем права ствараць абмежаваньні ў карыстаньні і захоўваньні на нашае аднаасобнае меркаваньне ў любы час з папярэджаньнем або безь яго.

Некаторыя дзяржавы або правападлегласьці не дазваляюць такіх відаў адмовы ад адказнасьці, як у гэтым разьдзеле, таму яны ня могуць Вас тычыцца часткова або цалкам у залежнасьці ад закону.&lt;/div&gt;

Ні пры якіх абставінах нашая адказнасьць у сукупнасьці ня мае перавышаць 1000 даляраў ЗША. У выпадку, калі датычны закон ня можа дазваляць абмежаваньне або выключэньне адказнасьці ці выпадковай або выніковай шкоды, вышэйзгаданае абмежаваньне або выключэньне ня можа тычыцца Вас, хоць Вашая адказнасьць будзе абмяжоўвацца ў поўнай меры, дазволенай датычным законам.&lt;/div&gt;

Супольнасьць будзе заахвочвацца перакласьці прапанаваны перагляд на іншыя мовы па меры неабходнасьці. Мы папярэдзім прынамсі за 3 дні пра зьмяненьні паводле прававой або кіраўнічай прычыны, каб выправіць недакладнае сьцьвярджэньне, або пра зьмяненьні ў адказ на заўвагі супольнасьці.

Гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня не ствараюць занятасьці, пасярэдніцтва, супольніцтва або дачыненьняў супольнага пачынаньня між Вамі і намі — Фундацыяй «Вікімэдыя». Гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня — поўнае пагадненьне між Вамі і намі, калі Вы не падпісалі асобнага пагадненьня з намі. Падпісанае пагадненьне накіруе, калі ёсьць супярэчнасьць між гэтымі Ўмовамі выкарыстаньня і падпісаным пагадненьнем між Вамі і намі.
&lt;/div&gt;

Вы згаджаецеся, што мы можам падаць Вам абвесткі, у тым ліку датычныя зьмяненьняў Умоваў выкарыстаньня, электроннай і звычайнай поштай або допісам у праектах ці іх вэб-бачынах.

У выпадку, калі мы не прымяняем або не ажыцьцяўляем умову гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня — гэта не адмова ад гэтай умовы.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Мы разумеем, што ў Вас няма спадзяваньня на пакрыцьцё за дзейнасьць, унёсак або думку, якія Вы далі нам, супольнасьці або праектам ці выданьням праекту «Вікімэдыі», пакуль намі інакш пісьмова ня ўзгоднена.
&lt;/div&gt;

Нягледзячы на ўсялякую адваротную ўмову ў гэтых Умовах выкарыстаньня, мы (Фундацыя «Вікімэдыя») і Вы згаджаемся не зьмяняць датычныя ўмовы і патрабаваньні вольнай ліцэнзіі, якой карыстаюцца ў праектах або выданьнях праекту, калі такая ліцэнзія дазволеная гэтымі Ўмовамі выкарыстаньня.

Гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня напісалі па-ангельску. Ангельскамоўны арыгінал мае перавагу ў выпадку адрозьненьняў у значэньні між спачатным ангельскім выданьнем і перакладам, хоць мы спадзяемся, што пераклады гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня — дакладныя.

Калі нейкую ўмову або частку ўмовы гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня прызнаюць незаконнай, пустой або неажыцьцявімай, такая ўмова або частка ўмовы лічыцца адасобленай ад гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня і будзе ажыцьцяўляцца ў найбольш дапушчальнай ступені, а ўсе іншыя ўмовы гэтых Умоваў выкарыстаньня застануцца ў поўнай моцы і сіле.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Дзякуй!==

Мы цэнім, што Вы знайшлі час прачытаць гэтыя Ўмовы выкарыстаньня. І мы вельмі радыя Вашаму ўнёску ў праекты і карыстаньню нашымі паслугамі. Праз свой унёсак Вы дапамагаеце будаваць штосьці сапраўды вялікае, а ня толькі важны збор супольна рэдагаваных праектаў даведкі, які дае асьвету і зьвесткі мільёнам людзей, якім інакш можа не ставаць доступу да іх. Апроч таго, гэта прамяністая супольнасьць уцягнутых аднадумцаў, засяроджаных на вельмі высакароднай мэце.

'''''Φανταστείτε ένα κόσμο όπου κάθε ανθρώπινη ύπαρξη μπορεί ελεύθερα να μοιράζεται το σύνολο της γνώσης. Αυτή είναι η δέσμευσή μας.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Η δήλωση του οράματός μας]]

Καλώς ήρθατε στο Wikimedia! Το Ίδρυμα Wikimedia, Inc. («εμείς» ή «εμάς» ή «ίδρυμα»), είναι ένας μη κερδοσκοπικός φιλανθρωπικός οργανισμός, με έδρα το Σαν Φρανσίσκο, Καλιφόρνια, ΗΠΑ, του [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|οποίου η αποστολή]] είναι να ενδυναμώσει και να εμπλέξει ανθρώπους σε όλο τον κόσμο για να συλλέξουν και να αναπτύξουν περιεχόμενο [[w:el:Ελεύθερο περιεχόμενο|κάτω από μια ελεύθερη άδεια χρήσης]] ή ως κοινό κτήμα, και να το διαδώσουν αποτελεσματικά και σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, χωρίς χρέωση.

Για να υποστηρίξουμε τη ζωντανή κοινότητα μας, παρέχουμε την απαραίτητη υποδομή και το οργανωτικό πλαίσιο για την ανάπτυξη των πολύγλωσσων έργων, wiki και τις εκδόσεις τους (όπως εξηγείται στη σελίδα μας [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]])(από εδώ και στο εξής αναφερόμενη ως &quot;Έργα&quot;) και άλλων προσπαθειών που υπηρετούν αυτή την αποστολή. Προσπαθούμε να κάνουμε και να διατηρήσουμε εκπαιδευτικό και πληροφοριακό περιεχόμενο από τα εγχειρήματα διαθέσιμα στο διαδίκτυο δωρεάν, στο διηνεκές.

Σε καλωσορίζουμε (&quot;εσύ&quot; ή ο &quot;χρήστης&quot;), ως αναγνώστη ή συντάκτη των εγχειρημάτων του Wikimedia, και σε ενθαρρύνουμε να ενταχθείς στην κοινότητα του Wikimedia. Πριν αρχίσεις να συμμετέχεις, ωστόσο, σε παρακαλούμε να διαβάσεεις και να συμφωνήσεις με τους παρακάτω όρους χρήσης (&quot;Όροι Χρήσης&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Οι παρόντες Όροι Χρήσης σε ενημερώνουν για τις δημόσιες υπηρεσίες μας στο Ίδρυμα Wikimedia, τη σχέση μας προς εσένα ως χρήστη, καθώς και τα δικαιώματα και τις ευθύνες που μας καθοδηγούν και τους δύο. Φιλοξενούμε μια απίστευτη ποσότητα εκπαιδευτικού και ενημερωτικού περιεχομένου, το σύνολο των οποίων έχει συνεισφέρει και κατέστη δυνατό από χρήστες, όπως εσύ. Γενικά δεν συνεισφέρουμε, δεν παρακολουθούμε, ή διαγράφουμε περιεχόμενο (με σπάνιες εξαιρέσεις υπό τους όρους πολιτικών, όπως αυτοί οι Όροι Χρήσης, για νομική συμμόρφωση, ή όταν αντιμετωπίζουμε επείγουσες περιπτώσεις κινδύνου). Αυτό σημαίνει ότι ο εκδοτικός έλεγχος είναι στα χέρια σου και τους συναδέλφους σου χρήστες που δημιουργούν και διαχειρίζονται το περιεχόμενο.

Η κοινότητα, δηλαδή το δίκτυο των χρηστών που συνεχώς κατασκευάζουν και χρησιμοποιούν τα εγχειρήματα ή/και τους ιστότοπους τους (από εδώ και πέρα θα αναφέρονται ως «Ιστότοποι Εγειρημάτων»), είναι τα κύρια μέσα με τα οποία επιτυγχάνονται οι στόχοι της αποστολής. Η Κοινότητα συμβάλλει και βοηθά στη διαχείριση των Εγχειρημάτων και των Ιστοτόπων των Εγειρημάτων μας. Η κοινότητα επίσης  αναλαμβάνει την κρίσιμη λειτουργία της δημιουργίας και της εφαρμογής πολιτικών για τις συγκεκριμένες εκδόσεις των εγχειρημάτων (όπως οι διάφορες γλωσσικές εκδόσεις για το εγχείρημα Wikipedia -Βικιπαίδεια - ή την πολύγλωσση έκδοση των Wikimedia Commons).

Εσείς, ο χρήστης, είστε ευπρόσδεκτος να συμμετάσχετε ως συνεισφέρων, συντάκτης, ή συγγραφέας, αλλά θα πρέπει να ακολουθείτε τις πολιτικές που κυβερνούν κάθε ένα από τα ανεξάρτητα Εγχειρήματα συμπεριλαμβανομένου του [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Καθολικού Κώδικα Συμπεριφοράς]] (UCoC), που ισχύει για όλα.Το μεγαλύτερο από τα Εγχειρήματά μας είναι η Βικιπαίδεια, αλλά επίσης φιλοξενούμε και άλλα Εγχειρήματα, το κάθε ένα με διαφορετικούς σκοπούς και μεθόδους εργασίας. Κάθε Εγχείρημα έχει μια ομάδα από συνεισφέροντες, συντάκτες ή συγγραφείς που εργάζονται μαζί για να δημιουργήσουν και να διαχειριστούν το περιεχόμενο σε εκείνο το Εγχείρημα. Είστε ευπρόσδεκτος να συμμετέχετε σε εκείνες τις ομάδες και να εργαστείτε μαζί τους για να βελτιώστε εκείνα τα Εγχειρήματα. Καθώς είμαστε αφιερωμένοι να κάνουμε το περιεχόμενο ελεύθερα διαθέσιμο στο κοινό, το περιεχόμενο που συνεισφέρετε είναι διαθέσιμο υπό μια ελεύθερη άδεια χρήσης ή είναι εκδίδεται ως κοινό κτήμα.

Παρακαλούμε να κατανοείτε ότι είστε νομικά υπεύθυνοι για όλες τις συνεισφορές, επεξεργασίες, και επαναχρησιμοποίηση του περιεχόμενου της Wikipedia υπό τους νόμους των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών της Αμερικής και άλλους εφαρμόσιμους νόμους (που μπορεί να περιλαμβάνουν τους νόμους όπου εσείς ή το αντικείμενο των συνεισφορών σας βρίσκεται). Αυτό σημαίνει ότι είναι σημαντικό να είστε προσεχτικοί όταν αναρτάτε περιεχόμενο, τροποποιείτε ή επαναχρησιμοποιείτε περιεχόμενο. Υπό το φως αυτής της υπευθυνότητας, έχουμε κάποιους κανόνες σχετικά με το τι δεν μπορείτε να αναρτάτε, πολλοί από τους οποίους είναι είτε για την δική σας προστασία είτε για την προστασία χρηστών όπως εσείς. Παρακαλούμε να έχετε στο νου σας ότι το περιεχόμενο που φιλοξενούμε είναι μόνο για γενικούς πληροφοριακούς σκοπούς, οπότε αν αναζητείτε εξειδικευμένες συμβουλές για ένα συγκεκριμένο ερώτημα (όπως ιατρικά, νομικά, ή οικονομικά ζητήματα), θα πρέπει να αναζητήσετε την βοήθεια ενός κατάλληλου επαγγελματία. Επίσης περιλαμβάνουμε και άλλες σημαντικές ειδοποιήσεις και αποποιήσεις, οπότε παρακαλούμε να διαβάσετε αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης ολόκληρους.

Για σαφήνεια, άλλοι οργανισμοί, όπως [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|τοπικά παραρτήματα Wikimedia]] και σύνδεσμοι, που μπορεί να μοιράζονται την ίδια αποστολή είναι ωστόσο νομικά ανεξάρτητοι και ξεχωριστοί από το Wikimedia Foundation.
Εκτός εάν δηλώνεται διαφορετικά από το Ίδρυμα ως εξουσιοδοτημένο μέρος στον Ιστότοπο ενός συγκεκριμένου Εγχειρήματος, αυτοί οι άλλοι οργανισμοί δεν έχουν καμία ευθύνη για τις λειτουργίες της Ιστοσελίδας του Εγχειρήματος ή του περιεχομένου του.

==1.  Οι Υπηρεσίες Μας==

Το Ίδρυμα Wikimedia είναι αφιερωμένο στο να ενθαρρύνει την δημιουργία, ανάπτυξη, και διανομή ελεύθερου πολύγλωσσου περιεχομένου, και να φιλοξενεί το πλήρες περιεχόμενο αυτών των βασισμένων σε wiki Εγχειρημάτων για το κοινό δωρεάν. Ο ρόλος μας είναι να φιλοξενούμε μερικά από τα μεγαλύτερα Εγχειρήματα συνεργατικής επεξεργασίας στον κόσμο, τα οποία μπορούν [//www.wikimedia.org να βρεθούν εδώ]. Ωστόσο, λειτουργούμε μόνο ως μια υπηρεσία παροχής φιλοξενίας, διατηρώντας την υποδομή και το οργανωτικό πλαίσιο που επιτρέπει στους χρήστες μας να οικοδομήσουν τα Εγχειρήματα του Wikimedia, συνεισφέροντας και επεξεργάζοντας το περιεχόμενο οι ίδιοι. Επιτρέπουν επίσης στους χρήστες μας να επαναχρησιμοποιήσουν αυτό το περιεχόμενο. Η υποδομή που διατηρούμε περιλαμβάνει εξειδικευμένη τεχνολογική υποδομή που επιτρέπει στους χρήστες να αλληλεπιδρούν μέσω προγραμματισμού και να επαναχρησιμοποιούν περιεχόμενο σε Εγχειρήματα (αναφέρεται ως «Διεπαφή προγραμματισμού εφαρμογών» ή «API») και εφαρμογές για κινητές συσκευές.

Όπως χρησιμοποιούνται σε όλους τους υπόλοιπους Όρους Χρήσης, οι υπηρεσίες μας αποτελούνται από: [//www.wikimedia.org Τους Ιστοτόπους Εγχειρημάτων που φιλοξενούμε], την τεχνολογική υποδομή που διατηρούμε, και τυχόν τεχνικούς χώρους που φιλοξενούμε για τη συντήρηση και τη βελτίωση των Εγχειρημάτων μας.

Λόγω του μοναδικού μας ρόλου, υπάρχουν μερικά πράγματα που πρέπει να γνωρίζετε όταν εξετάζετε τη σχέση μας με εσάς, τα Εγχειρήματα και άλλους χρήστες:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Δεν αναλαμβάνουμε συντακτικό ρόλο:''' Επειδή τα Εγχειρήματα είναι συνεργατικής επεξεργασίας, η συντριπτική πλειονότητα του περιεχόμενου που φιλοξενούμε παρέχεται από τους χρήστες, όπως εσείς, και δεν αναλαμβάνουμε συντακτικό ρόλο. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι γενικά δεν παρακολουθούμε ή επεξεργαζόμαστε το περιεχόμενο των Ιστοτόπων των Εγχειρημάτων, και δεν αναλαμβάνουμε καμία ευθύνη για το περιεχόμενο αυτό. Ομοίως, εκτός εάν έχουμε δηλώσει ρητά το αντίθετο, δεν υιοθετούμε οποιεσδήποτε απόψεις που εκφράζονται μέσω των υπηρεσιών μας, και δεν εκπροσωπούμε ούτε εγγυόμαστε την ειλικρίνεια, την ακρίβεια ή την αξιοπιστία οποιουδήποτε υποβαλλόμενης από την κοινότητα περιεχόμενου στα Εγχειρήματα.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Είστε εσείς υπεύθυνοι για τις δικές σας ενέργειες:''' Είστε νομικά υπεύθυνοι για τις αλλαγές και τις συνεισφορές σας στα Εγχειρήματα, την επαναχρησιμοποίηση περιεχομένου στα Εγχειρήματα, τη χρήση των API και τη χρήση των υπηρεσιών μας γενικότερα. Για την δική σας προστασία θα πρέπει να ενεργείτε με προσοχή και να αποφεύγετε να συνεισφέρετε με περιεχόμενο που μπορεί να καταλήξει σε ποινική η αστική ευθύνη κάτω από οποιαδήποτε σχετική νομοθεσία. Για σαφήνεια, σχετική νομοθεσία περιλαμβάνει τουλάχιστον τους νόμους των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών της Αμερικής και της Πολιτείας της Καλιφόρνια. Για άλλες χώρες αυτό καθορίζεται κατά περίπτωση. Παρότι μπορεί να μη συμφωνούμε με τέτοιες ενέργειες, προειδοποιούμε τους χρήστες -ιδίως τους συντάκτες, συνεισφέροντες, και δημιουργούς- ότι μη αμερικανικές αρχές μπορεί να ενεργήσουν με την εφαρμογή νόμων άλλων χωρών επάνω σας, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των τοπικών νόμων όπου ζείτε ή όπου διαβάζετε ή επεξεργάζεστε περιεχόμενο. Γενικά δεν μπορούμε να προσφέρουμε καμία προστασία, εγγύηση, ασυλία ή αποζημίωση έναντι της εφαρμογής τέτοιων νόμων.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Πολιτική Ιδιωτικότητας==

Σας ζητούμε να επιθεωρήσετε τους [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|όρους της Πολιτικής Ιδιωτικότητας]], ώστε να είστε ενήμεροι για το πως συλλέγουμε και χρησιμοποιούμε τις πληροφορίες σας.

==3. Περιεχόμενο Που Φιλοξενούμε==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Μπορεί να βρείτε κάποιο περιεχόμενο αμφισβητούμενο ή εσφαλμένο:''' Επειδή φιλοξενούμε ευρύ περιεχόμενο που παράγεται ή συλλέγεται από  χρήστες, μπορεί να συναντήσετε περιεχόμενο που βρίσκετε προσβλητικό, λανθασμένο, παραπλανητικό, μεροληπτικό, ή άλλως αμφισβητούμενο. Γι' αυτό σας ζητούμε να χρησιμοποιήσετε κοινή λογική και κατάλληλη κρίση όταν χρησιμοποιείτε τις υπηρεσίες μας.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Το περιεχόμενό των Εγχειρημάτων είναι μόνο για σκοπούς γενικής πληροφόρησης:''' Παρότι τα Εγχειρήματά μας φιλοξενούν σημαντικό περιεχόμενο που παραπέμπει σε επαγγελματικά θέματα, όπως ιατρικά, νομικά, ή οικονομικά ζητήματα, αυτό το περιεχόμενο παρουσιάζεται μόνο για γενικούς πληροφοριακούς λόγους. Δεν θα πρέπει να λαμβάνεται ως επαγγελματική συμβουλή. Παρακαλούμε αναζητήστε ανεξάρτητη επαγγελματική υποστήριξη από κάποιον που έχει άδεια ή επάρκεια στον σχετικό τομέα αντί να ενεργήσετε με βάση οποιαδήποτε πληροφορία, άποψη, ή συμβουλή που περιέχεται σε κάποιον από τους Ιστοτόπους των Εγχειρημάτων.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Αποφύγετε Ορισμένες Δραστηριότητες==

Τα Εγχειρήματα που φιλοξενούνται από το Ίδρυμα Wikimedia υπάρχουν μόνο λόγο της ενεργούς κοινότητας χρηστών όπως εσείς που συνεργάζονται για να γράφουν, επεξεργάζονται και επιμελούνται το περιεχόμενο. Ευχάριστα καλωσορίζουμε την συμμετοχή σας σε αυτή την κοινότητα. Σας ενθαρρύνουμε να είστε πολιτισμένοι και ευγενικοί στις συναναστροφές σας με άλλους στην κοινότητα, να ενεργείτε έχοντας καλή πίστη, και να κάνετε επεξεργασίες και συνεισφορές με στόχο την διασφάλιση της αποστολής του κοινού Εγχειρήματος. Ζητάμε από όλους τους χρήστες να ελέγξουν και να ακολουθήσουν τον [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Καθολικό Κώδικα Δεοντολογίας]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), ο οποίος καθορίζει τις απαιτήσεις για συλλογική, πολιτική συνεργασία σε όλα τα Έργα που φιλοξενούμε.

Κάποιες δραστηριότητες, είτε νόμιμες είτε παράνομες υπό το ισχύον δίκαιο, μπορεί να είναι επιβλαβείς σε άλλους χρήστες και να παραβιάζουν τους κανόνες, και κάποιες δραστηριότητες μπορεί επίσης να υπόκεινται στην ευθύνη σας. Συνεπώς, για την δική σας προστασία και για αυτή των άλλων χρηστών, δεν μπορείτε να εμπλέκεστε με τέτοιες δραστηριότητες στο πλαίσιο των Εγχειρημάτων μας μας ή με άλλο τρόπο να χρησιμοποιείτε τα Εγχειρήματά μας. Οι δραστηριότητες αυτές περιλαμβάνουν:

::* Πρέπει να γνωστοποιήσετε τον κάθε εργοδότη, πελάτη, προβλεπόμενο  δικαιούχο και την συνεργασία σας σε σχέση με οποιαδήποτε συνεισφορά για την οποία λαμβάνετε ή αναμένετε να λάβετε αποζημίωση. Πρέπει να κάνετε την γνωστοποίηση αυτή με τουλάχιστον έναν από τους ακόλουθους τρόπους:
:::* μια δήλωση στην σελίδα χρήστη σας,
:::* μια δήλωση στην σελίδα συζήτησης που συνοδεύει κάποιες πληρωμένες συνεισφορές, ή
:::* μια δήλωση στην σύνοψη συνεισφοράς που συνοδεύει κάποιες πληρωμένες συνεισφορές.
::* Επιπλέον, εάν κάνετε δημόσια δημοσίευση για τις υπηρεσίες διαφήμισης μέσω επεξεργασίας Εγχειρημάτων στην Wikipedia σε αντάλλαγμα για οποιαδήποτε αποζημίωση, πρέπει να αποκαλύψετε όλους τους λογαριασμούς Wikipedia που έχετε χρησιμοποιήσει ή θα χρησιμοποιήσετε για αυτή την υπηρεσία στην δημόσια δημοσίευση στην υπηρεσία τρίτου μέρους.
:: Εφαρμοστέοι νόμοι, ή πολιτικές και οδηγίες της συγκεκριμένων Εγχειρημάτων και του Ιδρύματος, όπως αυτές που αναφέρονται σε συγκρούσεις ενδιαφέροντος, μπορεί να περιορίζουν επιπλέον τις πληρωμένες συνεισφορές ή να απαιτούν περισσότερο λεπτομερείς γνωστοποιήσεις. Για παράδειγμα, η παραβίαση των εμπορικών σημάτων του Wikimedia (που ορίζονται στη συνέχεια στην Ενότητα 6) για τη διαφήμιση υπηρεσιών επί πληρωμή, η κατάργηση γνωστοποιήσεων για επεξεργασίες επί πληρωμή που είχαν αποκαλυφθεί προηγουμένως επαρκώς ή η πληρωμένη επεξεργασία που αποσυνδέθηκε με τρόπο που καθιστά την επαρκή αποκάλυψη πρακτικά αδύνατη παραβιάζει αυτήν την ενότητα.
::* Η κοινότητα ενός Εγχειρήματος Wikimedia μπορεί να υιοθετήσει μια εναλλακτική πολιτική γνωστοποίησης πληρωμένης συνεισφοράς. Αν ένα Εγχείρημα υιοθετήσει μια εναλλακτική πολιτική γνωστοποίησης, θα πρέπει να ικανοποιείτε εκείνη την πολιτική αντί τις απαιτήσεις αυτής της ενότητας (που ονομάζεται &quot;Πληρωμένες συνεισφορές χωρίς γνωστοποίηση&quot;) όταν συνεισφέρετε σε εκείνο το Εγχείρημα.

:: Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες, παρακαλούμε διαβάστε τις [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ για την γνωστοποίηση πληρωμένων συνεισφορών]].


Η με γνωστοποιημένη επεξεργασία από χρήστες που λαμβάνουν αποζημίωση δημιουργεί μια υπερβολική επιβάρυνση στους εθελοντές συντάκτες [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|που ερευνούν και επιβάλλουν τις κοινοτικές πολιτικές]]. Επομένως, για παραβιάσεις αυτής της ενότητας που σχετίζονται με μη γνωστοποιημένη πληρωμένη επεξεργασία, συμφωνείτε να υποβάλετε τη δεσμευτική &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (μια &quot;Διαμεσολάβηση Εταιρείας Μάρκετινγκ&quot;) όπως περιγράφεται στην ενότητα 14 των παρόντων Όρων Χρήσης.

Διατηρούμε το δικαίωμα να ασκήσουμε τη διακριτική μας ευχέρεια επιβολής σε σχέση με τις διατάξεις της ενότητας 4 των παρόντων Όρων Χρήσης. Όπου απαιτείται, η επιβολή αυτών των όρων μπορεί να περιλαμβάνει ενέργειες που δεν αναφέρονται στην [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Πολιτική Δράσης του Γραφείου]] του Ιδρύματος Wikimedia. Εάν απαιτείται επιβολή σε νέες συνθήκες, θα καταβάλουμε προσπάθεια εντός ενός (1) έτους το πολύ να ενημερώσουμε την Πολιτική Δράσης του Γραφείου για να καταλογίσουμε τον νέο τύπο ενέργειας.

Αν και έχετε σημαντικές ελευθερίες για την εκ νέου χρήση του περιεχομένου από τους ιστότοπους των Εγχειργμάτων, είναι σημαντικό ότι, στο Ίδρυμα Wikimedia, προστατεύουμε τα δικαιώματα των εμπορικών σημάτων μας, έτσι ώστε να μπορούμε να προστατεύσουμε τους χρήστες μας από δόλιους μιμητές. Για το λόγο αυτό, σας ζητάμε παρακαλώντας να σεβαστείτε τα εμπορικά σήματά μας.

==7. Αδειοδότηση Περιεχομένου==

Για να αυξηθούν τα κοινά της ελεύθερης γνώσης και ελεύθερου πολιτισμού, όλοι οι χρήστες που συμβάλλουν στα Εγχειρήματα ή του Ιστοτόπους Εγχειργμάτων απαιτούνται να χορηγούν ευρεία δικαιώματα στο ευρύ κοινό για να αναδιανείμει και να επαναχρησιμοποιήσει τις συνεισφορές τους ελεύθερα, εφόσον η χρήση αυτή γίνεται με κατάλληλη αναφορά και χορηγείται η ίδια ελευθερία για την επαναχρησιμοποίηση και αναδιανομή σε οποιαδήποτε παράγωγα έργα. Σύμφωνα με το στόχο μας για την παροχή δωρεάν πληροφοριών στο ευρύτερο δυνατό κοινό, απαιτούμε ότι όταν χρειάζεται όλο το υποβαλλόμενο περιεχόμενο να είναι αδειοδοτημένο έτσι ώστε να είναι ελεύθερα επαναχρησιμοποιήσιμο από όποιον μπορεί να έχει πρόσβαση σε αυτό.

Συμφωνείτε με τις ακόλουθες απαιτήσεις αδειοδότησης:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Κείμενο με το οποίο κρατάτε τα πνευματικά δικαιώματα:''' Όταν υποβάλετε κείμενο στο οποίο διατηρείτε το δικαίωμα πνευματικής ιδιοκτησίας, συμφωνείτε να χορηγήσετε άδεια υπό τις:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] («CC BY-SA 4.0»), και
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] («GFDL»)(χωρίς συγκεκριμένη έκδοση, χωρίς αμετάβλητα τμήματα, κείμενα εξωφύλλου, ή οπισθόφυλλα).

Εκ νέου χρήστες μπορούν να συμμορφώνονται με την οποιαδήποτε άδεια ή και τις δύο.&lt;br /&gt;
Η μόνη εξαίρεση είναι εάν η έκδοση Εγχειρήματος ή λειτουργίας απαιτεί μια διαφορετική άδεια. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση, συμφωνείτε να χορηγήσετε άδεια για οποιοδήποτε κείμενο που συνεισφέρετε βάσει της συγκεκριμένης άδειας χρήσης που ορίζεται από την έκδοση του Εγχειρήματος ή της λειτουργίας.

Παρακαλούμε λάβετε υπόψη ότι αυτές οι άδειες επιτρέπουν εμπορικές χρήσεις των συνεισφορών σας, εφόσον τέτοιες χρήσεις είναι συμβατές με τους όρους των αντίστοιχων αδειών. Όπου κατέχετε τα δικαιώματα βάσης δεδομένων Sui Generis που καλύπτονται από το CC BY-SA 4.0, παραιτείστε από αυτά τα δικαιώματα. Για παράδειγμα, αυτό σημαίνει ότι τα δεδομένα που συνεισφέρετε στα Εγχειρήματα μπορούν να επαναχρησιμοποιηθούν ελεύθερα χωρίς αναφορά.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Αναφορά:''' Η Αναφορά αποτελεί σημαντικό μέρος των εν λόγω αδειών. Θεωρούμε ότι δίνει πίστωση όπου η πίστωση αυτή οφείλεται - σε συγγραφείς όπως τον εαυτό σας. Όταν συμβάλλετε κείμενο, συμφωνείτε να αποδίδεται με κάποιο από τους παρακάτω τρόπους:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Μέσω υπερσυνδέσμου (όπου είναι δυνατόν) ή URL προς το λήμμα στο οποίο συνεισφέρατε (δεδομένου ότι κάθε λήμμα έχει μια σελίδα ιστορικού που απαριθμεί όλους τους συνεισφέροντες, συγγραφείς και συντάκτες),&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Μέσω υπερσύνδεσμου (όπου είναι δυνατόν) ή URL σε ένα εναλλακτικό, σταθερό διαδικτυακό αντίγραφο που είναι ελεύθερα προσβάσιμο, που συμμορφώνεται με την σχετική άδεια, και το οποίο παρέχει αναφορά στους συντάκτες με τρόπο ισοδύναμο με την αναγνώριση που παρατίθεται στον Ιστότοπο του Εγχειρήματος, ή&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Μέσα από μια λίστα όλων των συγγραφέων (αλλά σας παρακαλούμε να λάβετε υπόψη ότι κάθε κατάλογος συντακτών μπορεί να φιλτραριστεί ώστε να εξαιρεθούν πολύ μικρές ή άσχετες συνεισφορές).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Εισαγωγή κειμένου:''' Μπορείτε να εισάγετε κείμενο που βρήκατε κάπου αλλού ή  έχετε συγγράψει μαζί με άλλους, αλλά σε τέτοια περίπτωση δηλώνετε και εγγυάστε ότι το κείμενο είναι διαθέσιμο υπό όρους που είναι συμβατοί με την άδεια CC-BY-SA   (ή, όπως εξηγήθηκε παραπάνω, μια άλλη άδεια, όταν κατ 'εξαίρεση, απαιτείται από την έκδοση του Εγχειρήματος ή λειτουργίας).  Για μια λίστα συμβατών αδειών χρήσης, ανατρέξτε στο [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Δεν πρέπει να εισάγετε περιεχόμενο που είναι διαθέσιμο αποκλειστικά υπό την GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Συμφωνείτε ότι, εάν εισαγάγετε κείμενο κάτω από άδεια CC που απαιτεί αναφορά, θα πρέπει να πιστώσετε τον συντάκτη (ες) με ένα λογικό τρόπο. Όταν οι πιστώσεις αυτές συνήθως δίνονται μέσω της σελίδας ιστορικού (όπως η εσωτερική αντιγραφή στο Wikimedia), αρκεί να δώσετε αναφορά στην σύνοψη επεξεργασίας, η οποία καταγράφεται στο ιστορικό της σελίδας, κατά την εισαγωγή του κειμένου. Οι απαιτήσεις απόδοσης είναι μερικές φορές πολύ ενοχλητικές για ειδικές περιστάσεις (ανεξάρτητα της άδειας), και μπορεί να υπάρχουν περιπτώσεις όπου η κοινότητα Wikimedia αποφασίσει ότι το εισηγμένο κείμενο δεν μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για αυτόν τον λόγο.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Πολυμέσα εκτός κειμένου:''' Πολυμέσα εκτός των κειμένων στα Εγχειρήματα είναι διαθέσιμα υπό μια ποικιλία διαφορετικών αδειών χρήσης που επιτρέπουν τον γενικό στόχο της απρόσκοπτης επαναχρησιμοποίησης και αναδιανομής. Όταν συνεισφέρετε εκτός κειμένου πολυμέσα, συμφωνείτε να συμμορφώνεστε με τις απαιτήσεις των εν λόγω αδειών, όπως περιγράφεται στην [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Πολιτική Αδειοδότησης]], και επίσης να συμμορφώνεστε με τις απαιτήσεις της συγκεκριμένης έκδοσης του Εγχειρήματος ή τη λειτουργία στην οποία συμβάλλετε. Επίσης δείτε τη [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] για περισσότερες πληροφορίες σχετικά με τη συνεισφορά πολυμέσων που δεν είναι κείμενα στο Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Όχι ανάκληση της άδειας:''' Εκτός και συνάδει με την άδειά σας, συμφωνείτε ότι δεν θα ανακαλέσετε μονομερώς ή θα ζητήσετε την ακύρωση οποιασδήποτε άδειας που έχετε χορηγήσει υπό τους παρόντες Όρους Χρήσης για το περιεχόμενο του κειμένου ή πολυμέσων που συνεισφέρθηκαν στα Εγχειρήματα ή λειτουργίες, ακόμη και αν τερματίσετε τη χρήση των υπηρεσιών μας.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Περιεχόμενο που είναι κοινό κτήμα:''' Περιεχόμενο που είναι κοινό κτήμα (public domain, γνωστό και ως &quot;δημόσιος τομέας&quot;) είναι ευπρόσδεκτο! Είναι σημαντικό, ωστόσο, να επιβεβαιώνετε την κατάσταση κοινού κτήματος του περιεχομένου σύμφωνα με το δίκαιο των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών της Αμερικής, καθώς και τους νόμους οποιονδήποτε άλλων χωρών, όπως απαιτείται από τη συγκεκριμένη έκδοση του Εγχειρήματος. Όταν συνεισφέρετε περιεχόμενο που είναι κοινό κτήμα, εγγυάστε ότι το υλικό είναι στην πραγματικότητα κοινό κτήμα, και εσείς συμφωνείτε να το επισημάνετε ανάλογα.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Επαναχρησιμοποίηση:''' Επαναχρησιμοποίηση του περιεχομένου που φιλοξενούμε είναι ευπρόσδεκτη, αν και υπάρχουν εξαιρέσεις για το περιεχόμενο συμπεριλαμβάνεται ως &quot;εύλογη χρήση» ή παρόμοιες εξαιρέσεις βάσει της εφαρμοστέας νομοθεσίας περί πνευματικών δικαιωμάτων. Οποιαδήποτε επαναχρησιμοποίηση θα πρέπει να συμμορφώνεται με την άδεια χρήσης.&lt;br /&gt;

Όταν επαναχρησιμοποιείτε ή αναδιανείμετε μια σελίδα κειμένου που αναπτύχθηκε από την κοινότητα του Wikimedia, συμφωνείτε να αποδίδετε τους συγγραφείς με οποιοδήποτε από τους παρακάτω τρόπους:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Μέσω υπερσύνδεσμου (όπου είναι δυνατόν) ή URL προς τη σελίδα ή τις σελίδες που έχετε κάνει εκ νέου χρήση (δεδομένου ότι κάθε σελίδα έχει μια σελίδα ιστορικού που απαριθμεί όλους τους συνεισφέροντες, συγγραφείς και συντάκτες)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Μέσω υπερσύνδεσμου (όπου είναι δυνατόν) ή URL σε ένα εναλλακτικό, σταθερό διαδικτυακό αντίγραφο που είναι ελεύθερα προσβάσιμο, που συμμορφώνεται με την άδεια, και το οποίο παρέχει αναφορά στους συντάκτες με τρόπο ισοδύναμο με την αναγνώριση που παρατίθεται στην ιστοσελίδα του Εγχειρήματος, ή&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Μέσα από μια λίστα όλων των συγγραφέων (αλλά σας παρακαλούμε να λάβετε υπόψη ότι κάθε κατάλογος συντακτών μπορεί να φιλτραριστεί ώστε να εξαιρεθούν πολύ μικρές ή άσχετες συνεισφορές).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Εάν το περιεχόμενο κειμένου είχε εισαχθεί από άλλη πηγή, είναι πιθανό ότι το περιεχόμενο είναι υπό μία συμβατή CC BY-SA άδεια αλλά όχι την GFDL (όπως περιγράφεται στην ενότητα &quot;Εισαγωγή κειμένου&quot;, παραπάνω). Σε αυτή την περίπτωση, συμφωνείτε να συμμορφώνεστε με τη συμβατή άδεια CC BY-SA και δεν έχετε τη δυνατότητα να το επαναδειοδοτήσετε υπό την GFDL. Για να προσδιοριστεί η άδεια που ισχύει για το περιεχόμενο για το οποίο επιδιώκετε την επαναχρησιμοποίηση ή αναδιανομή, θα πρέπει να επιθεωρήσετε το υποσέλιδο της σελίδας, το ιστορικό της σελίδας, και τη σελίδα συζήτησης.

Επιπλέον, πρέπει να έχετε υπόψη ότι κείμενο που προήλθε από εξωτερικές πηγές και εισήχθη σε ένα Εγχείρημα μπορεί να είναι κάτω από μια άδεια που επισυνάπτει πρόσθετες απαιτήσεις απόδοσης. Οι χρήστες συμφωνούν να αναφέρουν αυτές τις πρόσθετες απαιτήσεις απόδοσης με σαφήνεια. Ανάλογα με το Εγχείρημα, οι απαιτήσεις αυτές μπορεί να εμφανίζονται για παράδειγμα σε ένα banner ή άλλα σύμβολα που δείχνουν ότι ένα μέρος ή το σύνολο του περιεχομένου δημοσιεύθηκε αρχικά αλλού. Όταν υπάρχουν τέτοια ορατά σύμβολα, οι εκ νέου χρήστες θα πρέπει να τα διατηρούν.

Για οποιοδήποτε πολυμέσο εκτός κειμένου, συμφωνείτε να συμμορφωθείτε με την ανάλογη άδεια σύμφωνα με την οποία έχει διατεθεί το έργο (που μπορεί να διαπιστωθεί, κάνοντας κλικ στο έργο και κοιτάζοντας το τμήμα αδειοδότησης στην σελίδα περιγραφής του ή την σχετική σελίδα πηγής γι 'αυτό το έργο). Όταν επαναχρησιμοποιείτε οποιοδήποτε περιεχομένου που φιλοξενούμε, συμφωνείτε να συμμορφώνεστε με τις σχετικές απαιτήσεις απόδοσης που αφορούν την υποκείμενη άδεια ή άδειες.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Τροποποιήσεις ή προσθήκες στο υλικό που επαναχρησιμοποιείτε:''' κατά την τροποποίηση ή την πραγματοποίηση προσθηκών στο κείμενο που έχετε λάβει από την ιστοσελίδα του Εγχειρήματος, συμφωνείτε να αδειοδοτήσετε το τροποποιημένο ή επεκταμένο περιεχόμενο υπό την CC BY-SA 3.0 ή νεότερη έκδοση (ή, όπως εξηγείται παραπάνω, μια άλλη άδεια , όταν κατ' εξαίρεση απαιτείται από την ειδική έκδοση του Εγχειρήματος ή λειτουργίας).&lt;br /&gt;

Κατά την τροποποίηση ή την πραγματοποίηση προσθηκών σε οποιοδήποτε πολυμέσο που έχετε λάβει από την ιστοσελίδα του Εγχειρήματος, συμφωνείτε να αδειοδοτήσετε το τροποποιημένο ή επεκταμένο περιεχόμενο, σύμφωνα με όποια άδεια με την οποία έχει γίνει το έργο διαθέσιμο.&lt;br /&gt;

Τόσο για το περιεχόμενο κειμένου όσο και για μη έγγραφα πολυμέσα, συμφωνείτε να αναφέρεται σαφώς ότι το αρχικό έργο έχει τροποποιηθεί. Εάν χρησιμοποιείτε περιεχόμενο κειμένου σε ένα wiki, αρκεί να αναφέρετε στη σελίδα ιστορικού ότι κάνατε μια αλλαγή στο εισαχθέν κείμενο. Για κάθε αντίγραφο ή τροποποιημένη έκδοση που διανέμετε, συμφωνείτε να περιλαμβάνετε μια σημείωση αδειοδότησης δηλώνοντας υπό ποια άδεια διατίθεται το έργο, μαζί με είτε έναν υπερσύνδεσμο ή URL προς το κείμενο της άδειας είτε με αντίγραφο της ίδιας της άδειας.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Το Ίδρυμα Wikimedia θέλει να διασφαλίσει ότι το περιεχόμενο που φιλοξενούμε μπορεί να επαναχρησιμοποιηθεί από άλλους χρήστες χωρίς το φόβο της ευθύνης και ότι δεν παραβιάζει τα δικαιώματα ιδιοκτησίας άλλων. Για να είμαστε δίκαιοι για τους χρήστες μας, καθώς και για άλλους δημιουργούς και κατόχους πνευματικών δικαιωμάτων, η πολιτική μας είναι να απαντάμε σε ειδοποιήσεις για υποτιθέμενη παραβίαση, οι οποίες συμμορφώνονται με τις διατυπώσεις της Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Σύμφωνα με την DMCA, θα τερματίσουμε, υπό τις κατάλληλες συνθήκες, χρήστες και κατόχους λογαριασμών του συστήματος και του δικτύου μας που είναι κατ' επανάληψη παραβάτες στα Εγχειρήματα και τις υπηρεσίες μας.

Ωστόσο, αναγνωρίζουμε επίσης ότι δεν είναι κάθε ειδοποίηση κατάργησης έγκυρη ή με καλή πίστη. Σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις, ενθαρρύνουμε τους χρήστες να καταθέσουν αντιειδοποιήσεις όταν πιστεύουν δόκιμα ότι μια απαίτηση κατάργησης DMCA είναι άκυρη ή ακατάλληλη. Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες σχετικά με το τι πρέπει να κάνετε αν πιστεύεται ότι μια ειδοποίηση DMCA έχει κατατεθεί εσφαλμένα, μπορεί να θέλετε να συμβουλευτείτε τον ιστότοπο [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Αν είστε ο ιδιοκτήτης περιεχομένου που χρησιμοποιείται καταχρηστικά σε ένα από τα Εγχειρήματα χωρίς την άδειά σας, μπορείτε να ζητήσετε να αφαιρεθεί το περιεχόμενο συμπληρώνοντας μια αίτηση υπό την DMCA. Για να κάνετε ένα τέτοιο αίτημα, παρακαλούμε στείλτε μας email στο {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} ή [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|απλό ταχυδρομείο στον εξουσιοδοτημένο αντιπρόσωπό μας]].

Εναλλακτικά, μπορείτε να κάνετε αίτημα στην κοινότητα μας, η οποία συχνά χειρίζεται θέματα πνευματικής ιδιοκτησίας πιο γρήγορα και πιο αποτελεσματικά από την διαδικασία που προβλέπεται στο πλαίσιο της DMCA. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση, μπορείτε να αναρτήσετε μια ειδοποίηση εξηγώντας τους προβληματισμούς για τα πνευματικά σας δικαιώματα.

Η κοινότητα έχει τον πρωταρχικό ρόλο στη δημιουργία και την εφαρμογή πολιτικών που εφαρμόζονται στις διάφορες εκδόσεις των Εγχειρημάτων. Στο Ίδρυμα Wikimedia, που σπάνια παρεμβαίνουμε στις αποφάσεις της κοινότητας σχετικά με την πολιτική και την επιβολή της.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Είναι δυνατό να μας ειδοποιήσετε για παράνομο περιεχόμενο ή περιεχόμενο που παραβιάζει τους Όρους Χρήσης (συμπεριλαμβανομένων όλων των πολιτικών και άλλων εγγράφων που ενσωματώνονται με αναφορά) για άλλους λόγους, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|επικοινωνώντας απευθείας μαζί μας]]. Ωστόσο, μπορείτε συνήθως να υποβάλετε ένα αίτημα απευθείας στην κοινότητα του Εγχειρήματος: αυτό μπορεί να είναι πιο αποτελεσματικό και να συνάδει περισσότερο με τον στόχο των Εγχειρημάτων μας να ενδυναμώσουν την κοινότητα των χρηστών.
&lt;/div&gt;


Κάθε Εγχείρημα θα παρέχει συνήθως σελίδες «Βοήθεια» ή «Επικοινωνία» για περαιτέρω καθοδήγηση ή συγκεκριμένα εργαλεία για την αναφορά ζητημάτων. Εναλλακτικά – εάν έχετε αμφιβολίες – μπορείτε να ζητήσετε βοήθεια από τα μέλη της κοινότητας, στέλνοντας ένα email στο {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} ή μια διεύθυνση πιο συγκεκριμένη για τη γλώσσα από τη σελίδα της [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Εθελοντικής Ομάδας Απόκρισης]]. Λάβετε υπόψη ότι αυτά τα email παρακολουθούνται από χρήστες των Εγχειρημάτων και όχι από το Ίδρυμα. Ως αποτέλεσμα, δεν θα πρέπει να απειλούνται ή να επιβάλλονται με νομικές απαιτήσεις.

Εάν επικοινωνήσετε με το Ίδρυμα για ένα πρόβλημα, θα ερευνήσουμε συνήθως αν και πώς οι υπάρχοντες μηχανισμοί που καθοδηγούνται από την κοινότητα μπορούν να το ερευνήσουν και, όπου είναι σκόπιμο, να το λύσουν.

Σε μια ασυνήθιστη περίπτωση, μπορεί να προκύψει η ανάγκη, ή η κοινότητα μπορεί να μας ζητήσει, να απευθυνθούμε σε έναν ιδιαίτερα προβληματικό χρήστη ή ιδιαίτερα προβληματικό περιεχόμενο λόγω σημαντικής διαταραχής του Εγχειρήματος ή επικίνδυνων συμπεριφορών. Σε τέτοιες περιπτώσεις, διατηρούμε το δικαίωμα, κατά την αποκλειστική μας κρίση (ή όταν υποχρεούμαστε νομικά), να:

* Να διερευνήσουμε τη χρήση των Εγχειρημάτων ή των υπηρεσιών μας από εσάς (α) για να καθοριστεί αν έχει συμβεί μια παραβίαση αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης, της πολιτική του Εγχειρήματος, ή άλλης ισχύουσας νομοθεσίας ή πολιτικής, ή (β) να συμμορφωθούμε με την ισχύουσα νομοθεσία, νομική διαδικασία, ή ένα αρμόδιο κυβερνητικό αίτημα.

Αυτές οι δραστηριότητες εποπτείας του Ιδρύματος ενδέχεται να ενημερώνονται ή να εκτελούνται μέσω λογισμικού (όπως η προστασία από traffic flood («Άρνηση υπηρεσίας»)). Σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις είναι συνήθως διαθέσιμη η ανθρώπινη επανεξέταση, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|κατόπιν αιτήματος]].

Προς το συμφέρον των χρηστών και των Εγχειρημάτων μας, σε ακραίες περιπτώσεις όπου σε κάποιο άτομο έχει αποκλειστεί ο λογαριασμός ή η πρόσβασή του σύμφωνα με αυτή τη ενότητα, απαγορεύεται να δημιουργήσει ή να χρησιμοποιήσει άλλο λογαριασμό ή να ζητήσει πρόσβαση στο ίδιο Εγχείρημα, εκτός εάν παράσχουμε ρητή άδεια. Χωρίς περιορισμό της εξουσίας της κοινότητας, το ίδιο το Ίδρυμα δεν θα απαγορεύσει σε κάποιον χρήστη να επεξεργάζεται ή θα παρεμποδίσει ή θα αποκλείσει τον λογαριασμό ενός χρήστη ή την πρόσβαση αποκλειστικά λόγω καλόπιστης κριτικής που δεν οδηγεί σε πράξεις οι οποίες παραβιάζουν αλλιώς τους παρόντες Όρους Χρήσης ή τις πολιτικές της κοινότητας.

Η κοινότητα Wikimedia και τα μέλη της μπορούν επίσης να αναλάβουν δράση όταν το επιτρέπουν οι πολιτικές της κοινότητας ή του Ιδρύματος που ισχύουν για το συγκεκριμένο Εγχείρημα, ενδεικτικά  συμπεριλαμβανομένων της προειδοποίησης, διερεύνησης, φραγής ή αποκλεισμού χρηστών που παραβιάζουν αυτές τις πολιτικές. Συμφωνείτε να συμμορφώνεστε με τις τελικές αποφάσεις των οργάνων επίλυσης διαφορών που δημιουργούνται από την κοινότητα για τα συγκεκριμένα Εγχειρήματα (όπως επιτροπές διαιτησίας). Οι αποφάσεις αυτές μπορεί να περιλαμβάνουν κυρώσεις όπως καθορίζονται από την πολιτική της συγκεκριμένης έκδοσης του Εγχειρήματος.

Ιδιαίτερα προβληματικοί χρήστες που είχαν λογαριασμούς ή την πρόσβαση υπό φραγή σε πολλαπλές εκδόσεις ενός Εγχειρήματος ενδέχεται να υπόκεινται σε αποκλεισμό από όλες τις εκδόσεις του Έργου, σύμφωνα με την  [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Πολιτική Παγκόσμιου Αποκλεισμού]]. Σε αντίθεση με τα ψηφίσματα του Διοικητικού Συμβουλίου ή τους παρόντες Όρους Χρήσης, οι πολιτικές που έχουν θεσπιστεί από την κοινότητα, οι οποίες ενδέχεται να καλύπτουν μια ενιαία έκδοση Εγχειρήματος ή πολλαπλές εκδόσεις Εγχειρημάτων (όπως η Πολιτική Παγκόσμιου Αποκλεισμού), μπορούν να τροποποιηθούν από τη σχετική κοινότητα σύμφωνα με τις δικές της διαδικασίες.

Η φραγή ενός λογαριασμού ή της πρόσβασης ή ο αποκλεισμός ενός χρήστη βάσει αυτής της ρήτρας πρέπει να είναι σύμφωνα με την Παράγραφο 13 αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης.

Εάν πιστεύετε ότι δεν έχουμε ενεργήσει ικανοποιητικά σε μια αναφορά προβληματικού περιεχομένου ή εάν έχετε υποβληθεί σε μια ενέργεια εποπτείας του Ιδρύματος που θέλετε να αμφισβητήσετε, ενδέχεται να μπορείτε να υποβάλετε [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|αίτημα επανεξέτασης]]. Άλλες πληροφορίες σχετικά με τους τρόπους προσφυγής μπορούν επίσης να σας εξηγηθούν εκείνη τη στιγμή ή σε σελίδες βοήθειας του Εγχειρήματος.

Διατηρούμε το δικαίωμα να αναστείλουμε (προσωρινά ή μόνιμα) τον χειρισμό αναφορών ή άλλης αλληλογραφίας από χρήστες ή τρίτα μέρη, είτε για φερόμενο παράνομο ή άλλως προβληματικό περιεχόμενο ή συμπεριφορά, είτε για αιτήματα ένστασης κατά των ενεργειών εποπτείας, εάν αυτή η αλληλογραφία έγινε με κακόπιστα, επαναλαμβανόμενη, αβάσιμη και/ή καταχρηστική. Σε κατάλληλες περιπτώσεις, η διεύθυνση email  σας μπορεί ακόμη και να αποκλειστεί στα συστήματα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου μας και στη συνέχεια θα χρειαστεί να επικοινωνήσετε μαζί μας [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|στην ταχυδρομική μας διεύθυνση]] εάν επιθυμείτε να επικοινωνήσετε περαιτέρω μαζί μας κατά τη διάρκεια αυτού του αποκλεισμού. Για λιγότερο σοβαρές περιπτώσεις (π.χ. έως τρία ευγενικά μηνύματα email σχετικά με μία ή περισσότερες αβάσιμες καταγγελίες), αυτό είναι πιθανό να είναι προσωρινό. Οι συχνότερες ή πιο καταχρηστικές επικοινωνίες είναι πιο πιθανό να οδηγήσουν σε μόνιμα μέτρα.

Το Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο του Ιδρύματος Wikimedia δημοσιεύει [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|επίσημες πολιτικές]] από καιρό σε καιρό. Μερικές από αυτές τις πολιτικές μπορεί να είναι υποχρεωτικές για ένα συγκεκριμένο Εγχείρημα ή έκδοση του Εγχειρήματος, και, όταν είναι, συμφωνείτε να συμμορφώνεστε με αυτούς κατά περίπτωση.

Διαθέτουμε ένα σύνολο από API, το οποίο περιλαμβάνει τεκμηρίωση και σχετικά εργαλεία, για να επιτρέψουμε σε χρήστες να δημιουργήσουν προϊόντα που προωθούν την ελεύθερη γνώση. Χρησιμοποιώντας τα API μας, συμφωνείτε να συμμορφώνεστε με όλες τις ισχύουσες πολιτικές που διέπουν τη χρήση των API, οι οποίες περιλαμβάνουν, αλλά δεν περιορίζονται σε αυτές, την [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Πολιτική User-Agent]], την [[wikitech:Robot policy|Πολιτική Ρομπότ]] και την [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (συλλογικά, «Τεκμηρίωση API») , οι οποίες ενσωματώνονται στους παρόντες Όρους Χρήσης με παραπομπή.

Αν και ελπίζουμε ότι θα μείνετε και συνεχίζετε να συνεισφέρετε στα Εγχειρήματα, μπορείτε να σταματήσετε να χρησιμοποιείτε τις υπηρεσίες μας οποιαδήποτε στιγμή. Σε ορισμένες (ενδεχομένως απίθανες) περιστάσεις μπορεί να είναι απαραίτητο είτε από μέρους μας είτε για την κοινότητα Wikimedia ή για τα μέλη του (όπως περιγράφονται στην Ενότητα 10) να τερματιστεί μέρος ή το σύνολο των υπηρεσιών μας, να τερματιστούν οι παρόντες Όροι Χρήσης, να φραγεί ο λογαριασμός ή η πρόσβασή σας, ή να σας αποκλείσουν από χρήστη. Αν ο λογαριασμός ή η πρόσβασή σας είναι αποκλεισμένα ή άλλως τερματιστεί για οποιονδήποτε λόγο, οι δημόσιες συνεισφορές σας θα παραμείνουν διαθέσιμες δημόσιες και μια καταγραφή των δραστηριοτήτων σας στα ή σε σχέση με τα Εγχειρήματα (συμπεριλαμβανομένης οποιασδήποτε αλληλογραφείας μας έχετε στείλει) δεν θα επηρρεαστεί (με την επιφύλαξη των εφαρμοστέων πολιτικών), και θα εξακολουθείτε να έχετε πρόσβαση στις δημόσιες σελίδες μας με μοναδικό σκοπό την ανάγνωση δημοσίως διαθέσιμου περιεχομένου στα Εγχειρήματα. Σε τέτοιες περιπτώσεις, ωστόσο, ενδέχεται να μην μπορείτε να αποκτήσετε πρόσβαση στο λογαριασμό ή τις ρυθμίσεις σας. Ωστόσο, ανεξάρτητα από οποιαδήποτε άλλη διάταξη στους παρόντες Όρους Χρήσης, διατηρούμε το δικαίωμα να αναστείλουμε ή να τερματίσουμε τις υπηρεσίες ανά πάσα στιγμή, με ή χωρίς αιτία, με ή χωρίς προειδοποίηση. Ακόμη και μετά την απαγόρευση, την παρεμπόδιση ή την αναστολή της χρήσης και της συμμετοχής σας, αυτοί οι Όροι Χρήσης θα παραμείνουν σε ισχύ σε σχέση με τις σχετικές διατάξεις, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των Τμημάτων 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 και 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Επισημασμένο για έμφαση''

Ελπίζουμε ότι δεν προκύπτουν σοβαρές διαφωνίες που σας αφορούν, αλλά σε περίπτωση διαφωνίας, σας ενθαρρύνουμε να αναζητήσετε λύση μέσω των διαδικασιών επίλυσης διαφορών ή των μηχανισμών που παρέχονται από τα Εγχειρήματα ή τις εκδόσεις Εγχειρήματων και το Ίδρυμα Wikimedia. Αν επιζητάτε να υποβάλετε μια νομική απαίτηση εναντίον μας, συμφωνείτε να την καταθέσετε και να την επιλύσετε αποκλειστικά σε ένα πολιτειακό ή ομοσπονδιακό δικαστήριο που βρίσκεται στην Κομητεία του Σαν Φρανσίσκο στην Καλιφόρνια. Συμφωνείτε επίσης ότι οι νόμοι της Πολιτείας της Καλιφόρνιας και, στο βαθμό που ισχύει, οι νόμοι των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών της Αμερικής θα διέπουν τους παρόντες Όρους Χρήσης, καθώς και κάθε νομικό ισχυρισμό που μπορεί να προκύψει μεταξύ εσάς και εμάς (χωρίς αναφορά σε συγκρούσεις των νόμων). Συμφωνείτε να υποβάλετε την προσωπική δικαιοδοσία και συμφωνείτε ότι ο χώρος είναι κατάλληλος, στα δικαστήρια που βρίσκονται στην Κομητεία Σαν Φρανσίσκο της Καλιφόρνια, για κάθε νομική ενέργεια ή διαδικασία που αφορά εμάς ή αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Για να διασφαλιστεί ότι οι διαφορές εξετάζονται σύντομα μετά την εμφάνισή τους, συμφωνείτε ότι ανεξάρτητα από οποιοδήποτε διάταγμα ή νόμο περί του αντιθέτου, οποιαδήποτε αξίωση ή αιτία ενέργειας που ενδέχεται να προκύψει από ή σχετίζεται με τη χρήση των υπηρεσιών μας ή αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης να κατατεθεί εντός του ισχύοντος ορίου παραγραφής ή, αν νωρίτερα, ένα (1) έτος αφότου τα σχετικά πραγματικά περιστατικά στα οποία βασίζεται η αξίωση ή το αίτιο αγωγής έχουν ανακαλυφθεί με εύλογη επιμέλεια (ή να απορριφθούν για πάντα)
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Όπως περιγράφεται στην ενότητα 4 των παρόντων Όρων Χρήσης, συμφωνείτε να επιλύετε παραβιάσεις των Πληρωμένων Συνεισφορών χωρίς Γνωστοποίηση σε Διαμεσολαβήσεις Εταιρειών Μάρκετινγκ κατά την κρίση του Ιδρύματος. Οι Διαμεσολαβήσεις Εταιρειών Μάρκετινγκ είναι '''δεσμευτικές''' διαμεσολαβήσεις όπου, στο τέλος είτε της μισής είτε μιας ολόκληρης ημέρας, τυχόν αμφισβητούμενα θέματα που παραμένουν άλυτα θα αποφασιστούν από τον διαμεσολαβητή σε νομικά δεσμευτική απόφαση. Θα διεξάγονται σε συναντήσεις μέσω τηλεδιάσκεψης ή βιντεοδιάσκεψης. Εάν απαιτείται προσωπική συνάντηση, τότε η Διαμεσολάβηση Εταιρείας Μάρκετινγκ θα πραγματοποιηθεί στην Κομητεία Σαν Φρανσίσκο της Καλιφόρνια. Τα μέρη θα κατανείμουν εξίσου όλες τις αμοιβές και τα έξοδα που σχετίζονται με τη διαμεσολάβηση/διαιτησία.

Συμφωνείτε, ως μέρος μιας Διαμεσολάβησης Εταιρείας Μάρκετινγκ, να συνεργαστείτε με το Ίδρυμα, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της έγκαιρης παροχής οποιασδήποτε τεκμηρίωσης που έχετε στην κατοχή σας σχετικά με τις άγνωστες δραστηριότητές σας επί πληρωμή, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των λογαριασμών που χρησιμοποιείτε, των λημμάτων που επηρεάζονται και των πελατών που αγόρασαν τέτοιες υπηρεσίες.

Οι Διαμεσολαβήσεις Εταιρειών Μάρκετινγκ υπόκεινται και διέπονται από τον Ομοσπονδιακό Νόμο Διαιτησίας στο βαθμό που ο διαμεσολαβητής γίνεται διαιτητής. Το επικρατούν μέρος δικαιούται να ανακτήσει τις αμοιβές των δικηγόρων του (συμπεριλαμβανομένων όλων των αμοιβών που απαιτούνται για τον καθορισμό της εφαρμογής της Διαμεσολάβησης Εταιρείας Μάρκετινγκ και την επιβολή του δεσμευτικού αποτελέσματος) και όλα τα έξοδα που σχετίζονται με την έρευνα και την επιβολή των δικαιωμάτων του. Ένα μέρος μπορεί να θεωρηθεί «επικρατούν» ακόμη και αν δεν έχει επιτυχία για κάθε αξίωση που προβάλλεται.

Εάν για κάποιο λόγο κριθεί ότι το σύνολο αυτών των απαιτήσεων Διαμεσολάβησης Εταιρείας Μάρκετινγκ δεν είναι εκτελεστές, συμφωνείτε να επιλύσετε τυχόν διαφορές όπως περιγράφεται στην αρχή αυτής της ενότητας.

Διατηρούμε το δικαίωμα να δημιουργούμε όρια χρήσης και αποθήκευσης κατά την κρίση μας ανά πάσα στιγμή με ή χωρίς προειδοποίηση.

Ορισμένες πολιτείες ή δικαιοδοσίες δεν επιτρέπουν τους τύπους αποποίησης ευθύνης σε αυτήν την ενότητα, οπότε ενδέχεται να μην ισχύουν για εσάς, εν μέρει ή εξ ολοκλήρου, ανάλογα με το νόμο.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Τροποποιήσεις σε αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης ==

Ακριβώς όπως η συμβολή της κοινότητας Wikimedia είναι απαραίτητη για την ανάπτυξη και τη συντήρηση των Εγχειρημάτων, πιστεύουμε ότι η συμβολή της κοινότητας είναι απαραίτητη για αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης για την ορθή εξυπηρέτηση των χρηστών μας. Είναι επίσης απαραίτητη για μια δίκαιη συνεργασία. Επομένως, θα παρέχουμε για αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης, καθώς και για τυχόν σημαντικές μελλοντικές αναθεωρήσεις αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης, στην κοινότητα για σχολιασμό τουλάχιστον τριάντα (30) ημέρες πριν από το τέλος της περιόδου σχολιασμού. Εάν μια μελλοντική προτεινόμενη αναθεώρηση είναι σημαντική, θα παρέχουμε επιπλέον 30 ημέρες για σχόλια μετά την ανάρτηση μιας μετάφρασης της προτεινόμενης αναθεώρησης σε τουλάχιστον τρεις γλώσσες (επιλεγμένες κατά την κρίση μας). Η κοινότητα θα ενθαρρυνθεί να μεταφράσει την προτεινόμενη αναθεώρηση σε άλλες γλώσσες, ανάλογα με την περίπτωση. Για αλλαγές για νομικούς ή διοικητικούς λόγους, για τη διόρθωση ανακριβούς δήλωσης, ή αλλαγές σε ανταπόκριση σχολίων από την κοινότητα, θα παρέχουμε ειδοποίηση τουλάχιστον τριών (3) ημερών.

Επειδή ενδέχεται να είναι απαραίτητο να τροποποιήσουμε αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης από καιρό σε καιρό, θα παρέχουμε ειδοποίηση για τέτοιες τροποποιήσεις και την ευκαιρία για σχολιασμό μέσω των ιστότοπων των Εγχειρημάτων και μέσω ειδοποίησης στο [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Ωστόσο, σας ζητούμε να ελέγχετε περιοδικά την πιο ενημερωμένη έκδοση αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης. Η συνεχιζόμενη χρήση των υπηρεσιών μας από τη στιγμή που οι νέοι Όροι Χρήσης γίνουν επίσημοι μετά την ειδοποίηση και την περίοδο ελέγχου αποτελεί αποδοχή αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης εκ μέρους σας. Για την προστασία του Ιδρύματος Wikimedia και άλλων χρηστών σαν εσάς, εάν δεν συμφωνείτε με τους Όρους Χρήσης, δεν μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε τις υπηρεσίες μας.

== 18. Άλλοι Όροι ==

Αυτοί οι Όροι Χρήσης δεν δημιουργούν σχέση εργασίας, μεσολάβησης, εταιρικής σχέσης, κοινού ελέγχου ή κοινοπραξίας μεταξύ εσάς και εμάς, του Ιδρύματος Wikimedia.  Για τους σκοπούς του νόμου του Ευρωπαϊκού Οικονομικού Χώρου, του νόμου του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου  ή άλλων νόμων που περιλαμβάνουν παρόμοια έννοια, δεν ενεργείτε «υπό την εξουσία» του Ιδρύματος όταν χρησιμοποιείτε τις υπηρεσίες. Εάν δεν έχετε υπογράψει ξεχωριστή συμφωνία μαζί μας, αυτοί οι Όροι Χρήσης είναι η πλήρης συμφωνία μεταξύ εσάς και εμάς. Εάν υπάρχει οποιαδήποτε διένεξη μεταξύ αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης και υπογεγραμμένης γραπτής συμφωνίας μεταξύ εσάς και εμάς, η υπογεγραμμένη συμφωνία θα ισχύει.

Συμφωνείτε ότι ενδέχεται να σας παρέχουμε ειδοποιήσεις, συμπεριλαμβανομένων αυτών που αφορούν αλλαγές στους Όρους Χρήσης, μέσω email, τυπικής αλληλογραφίας, ή δημοσιεύσεων στα Εγχειρήματα ή τους Ιστότοπους των Εγχειρημάτων.

Εάν σε κάποια περίπτωση, δεν εφαρμόζουμε ή επιβάλουμε κάποια διάταξη αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης, δεν αποτελεί αποποίηση αυτής της διάταξης.

Καταλαβαίνετε ότι, εκτός εάν συμφωνηθεί γραπτώς από εμάς, δεν έχετε καμία προσδοκία αποζημίωσης για οποιαδήποτε δραστηριότητα, συνεισφορά, ή ιδέα που παρέχετε σε εμάς, στην κοινότητα, ή στα Εγχειρήματα ή εκδόσεις Εγχειρημάτων.

Ανεξάρτητα από οποιαδήποτε αντίθετη διάταξη στους παρόντες Όρους Χρήσης, εμείς (το Ίδρυμα Wikimedia) και εσείς συμφωνούμε να μην τροποποιήσουμε τους ισχύοντες όρους και απαιτήσεις οποιωνδήποτε ελεύθερων αδειών που χρησιμοποιούνται στα Εγχειρήματα ή στις εκδόσεις Εγχειρημάτων όταν αυτή η ελεύθερη άδεια εγκρίνεται από αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης.

Αυτοί οι Όροι Χρήσης γράφτηκαν στα Αγγλικά (ΗΠΑ). Ενώ ελπίζουμε ότι οι μεταφράσεις αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης είναι ακριβείς, σε περίπτωση διαφορών στο νόημα μεταξύ της αρχικής αγγλικής έκδοσης και μιας μετάφρασης, η πρωτότυπη αγγλική έκδοση υπερισχύει.

Εάν κάποια διάταξη ή μέρος μιας διάταξης των παρόντων Όρων Χρήσης θεωρηθεί παράνομη, άκυρη, ή ανεφάρμοστη, αυτή η διάταξη ή μέρος της διάταξης θεωρείται ότι διαχωρίζεται από αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης και θα επιβληθεί στο μέγιστο επιτρεπόμενο βαθμό, και όλες οι άλλες διατάξεις αυτών των Όρων Χρήσης θα παραμείνουν σε πλήρη ισχύ και αποτέλεσμα.

==Ευχαριστούμε!==

Σας ευχαριστούμε που αφιερώσατε χρόνο για να διαβάσετε αυτούς τους Όρους Χρήσης και είμαστε πολύ χαρούμενοι που συνεισφέρετε στα Εγχειρήματα και χρησιμοποιείτε τις υπηρεσίες μας. Μέσα από τις συνεισφορές σας, βοηθάτε να χτίσουμε κάτι πολύ μεγάλο - όχι μόνο μια σημαντική συλλογή συνεργατικά επεξεργασμένων έργων αναφοράς που παρέχουν εκπαίδευση και πληροφορίες σε εκατομμύρια ανθρώπους που διαφορετικά δεν θα είχαν πρόσβαση, αλλά και μια ζωντανή κοινότητα από ομοϊδεάτες και αφοσιωμένους συνεργάτες, που εστιάζουν σε έναν πολύ ευγενή στόχο.

'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Our Vision Statement]]

Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.

To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.

The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.

Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

{{anchor|1}}
== 1. Our Services ==

The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.

Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
== 2. Privacy Policy ==

We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

{{anchor|3}}
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==

The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;
::* Transmitting chain mail, junk mail, or spam to other users;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intention to seriously harm others, such as deliberate inducements to self-harm, or deliberate triggering of epilepsy.
: '''Violating the Privacy of Others'''
::* Infringing the privacy rights of others under applicable laws (which may include the laws where you live or where you view or edit content);
::* Soliciting personally identifiable information for the purposes of harassment, exploitation, or violation of privacy, or for any promotional or commercial purpose not explicitly approved by the Wikimedia Foundation; and
::* Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 years, or under the age of majority where you are if higher than 18 years, for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.
: '''Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud'''
::* Intentionally or knowingly posting content that constitutes libel or defamation under the laws of the United States of America;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intent to deceive or mislead others;
::* Attempting to impersonate another user or individual, misrepresenting your affiliation with any individual or entity, hiding your affiliation with any individual or entity when disclosure is required by these terms or local Project policy, or using the name or username of another person with the intent to deceive; and
::* Engaging in fraud.
: '''Committing Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights'''
::* Infringing copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other proprietary rights under the applicable law.
: '''Misusing Our Services for Other Illegal Purposes'''
::* Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography or child sexual abuse material, or encouraging, grooming, or advocating for others to create or share such material;
::* Posting or trafficking in obscene material that is unlawful under applicable law; and
::* Using the services in a manner that is inconsistent with applicable law.
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of other users;
::* Engaging in automated uses of the Project Websites that are abusive or disruptive of the services, violate acceptable usage policies where available, or have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on an API, Project Website or the networks or servers connected with a particular Project Website;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;
::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and
::* Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any of our technical systems or networks unless all the following conditions are met:
:::* such actions do not unduly abuse or disrupt our technical systems or networks;
:::* such actions are not for personal gain (except for credit for your work);
:::* you report any vulnerabilities to the relevant developers (or fix it yourself); and
:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''

::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].


Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

{{anchor|5}}

== 5. Password Security ==

You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.

{{anchor|6}}
== 6. Trademarks ==

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

{{anchor|7}}
== 7. Licensing of Content ==

To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

Reusers may comply with either license or both.&lt;br /&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.

Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;br /&gt;

When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.

In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.

For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;br /&gt;

When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;br /&gt;

With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|8}}
== 8. Copyright Compliance ==

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below). 

Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below. 

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.

If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].

Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

{{anchor|9}}

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

{{anchor|10}}
== 10. Management of Websites ==

The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.

It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.

If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.

In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].

In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.

The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.

The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].


{{anchor|11}}

== 11. Resolutions and Project Policies ==

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

{{anchor|12}}
== 12. API Terms ==

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

{{anchor|13}}
== 13. Termination ==

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

{{anchor|14}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Disputes and Jurisdiction&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Highlighted for emphasis''

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.

To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.

You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.

Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.

If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;15. Disclaimers&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. Limitation on Liability&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|17}}
== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

{{anchor|18}}
== 18. Other Terms ==

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

== Thank You! ==

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

}}

Die Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Richtlinie für den Zugang zu nichtöffentlichen Informationen]] ist eine vom Vorstand genehmigte Richtlinie, die Mindestgrenzen für diejenigen festlegt, denen die Stiftung den Zugang zu sensiblen Zugriffsrechten erlaubt wie Checkuser, Oversighter oder VRT-Mitglieder. Als Teil der Richtlinie müssen VRT-Mitglieder mindestens 16 Jahre alt sein und alle anderen Inhaber fortgeschrittener Rechte (wie Checkuser oder Oversighter) müssen 18 Jahre alt sein. Gelegentlich kann es vertrauenswürdige Benutzer geben, die die normalen Altersanforderungen nicht erfüllen und es verdienen, für eine mögliche Ausnahme von dieser Richtlinie geprüft zu werden. Wenn du für eine Ausnahme in Betracht gezogen werden möchtest, kannst du eine E-Mail an {{email|ca|wikimedia.org}} senden. Das allgemeine Verfahren, das befolgt wird, findest du unten:

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
# Die Befreiung muss von der Rechtsabteilung (Chefsyndikus oder Beauftragter) genehmigt werden.
# Die Abteilung prüft den Antragsteller und bestimmen seine Eignung.
# Nach der Genehmigung durch die Rechtsabteilung wird die Empfehlung an den geschäftsführenden Direktor weitergeleitet, der die Befugnis behält, die Ausnahme gemäß der Vorstandsrichtlinie [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority|Delegation der Richtlinienkompetenz]] zu gewähren.
# Nach der Zustimmung des geschäftsführenden Direktors muss der Benutzer das übliche Wahl- oder Auswahlverfahren der Gemeinschaft durchlaufen.
# Benutzer werden gebeten, sowohl sich selbst als auch einen Erziehungsberechtigten eine modifizierte Version der [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|Geheimhaltungsvereinbarung]] unterschreiben zu lassen, die ihnen bei Genehmigung direkt zugeschickt wird. Benutzer werden als minderjährig auf dem [[:m:Access to nonpublic personal data policy/Noticeboard|zutreffendem Anschlagbrett]] markiert.

Tato pravidla slouží jako rozšíření [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Zásad přístupu k neveřejným informacím]].
}}

Zásady [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|přístupu k neveřejným informacím]] nadace Wikimedia Foundation jsou zásady schválené správní radou, které stanovují minimální limity pro osoby, kterým nadace umožní přístup k citlivým přístupovým právům, jako je Checkuser, Oversight nebo VRT. Součástí těchto zásad je, že členové VRT musí být starší 16 let a všichni ostatní držitelé pokročilých práv (například [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|Checkusers]] nebo [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Oversighters]]) musí mít 18 let. Občas se mohou vyskytnout důvěryhodní uživatelé, kteří nesplňují běžné věkové požadavky a zaslouží si, aby byla přezkoumána případná výjimka z této politiky. Pokud si přejete, aby byla zvážena možnost udělení výjimky, můžete napsat e-mail na adresu {{email|ca|wikimedia.org}}. Obecný postup, který bude dodržován, najdete níže:

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
# Výjimku musí schválit právní oddělení (hlavní právník nebo delegát).
# Oddělení zkontroluje žadatele a určí vhodnost.
# Po schválení právním oddělením bude doporučení předloženo výkonnému řediteli, který si ponechá pravomoc udělovat výjimku v rámci správní rady [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority|Delegování politiky orgánu pro tvorbu politik]].
# Po schválení výkonným ředitelem bude uživatel požádán, aby prošel obvyklými komunitními volbami nebo výběrovým řízením.
# Uživatelé budou požádáni, aby sami i rodič nebo opatrovník podepsali upravenou verzi [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|Smlouvy o důvěrnosti]], která jim bude po schválení zaslána přímo. Uživatelé budou označeni jako nezletilí na [[:m:Access to nonpublic personal data policy/Noticeboard|použitelné nástěnce]].

Ця політика слугує розширенням [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політики доступу до непублічної інформації]].
}}

[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політика доступу до непублічної інформації]] Фонду Вікімедіа — це затверджена радою політика, що встановлює мінімальний поріг для тих, кому Фонд Вікімедіа надасть право отримати доступ до чутливої інформації, зокрема чек'юзерів, приховувачів чи VRT. У рамках цієї політики, члени VRT мусять мати не менше 16 років, а всі інші тримачі розширених прав (такі як [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|чек'юзери]] чи [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|приховувачі]]) — не менше 18. Інколи можуть траплятися довірені користувачі, які не відповідають загальним вимогам до віку і заслуговують на розгляд можливого винятку з цієї політики. Якщо ви бажаєте, щоб вас розглянули як можливий виняток, ви можете написати на пошту {{email|ca|wikimedia.org}}. Ниже описана загальна процедура, яка послідує далі:

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
# Виняток має бути схвалений Юридичним відділом (General Counsel або представником).
# Відділ розгляне заявника і визначить їхню відповідність.
# Після схвалення Юрвідділом, буде подано рекомендацію до виконавчого директора, який зберігає за собою право надати виняток згідно з [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority|Політикою про делегування права приймати політичні рішення]].
# Після схвалення виконавчим директором, користувач матиме пройти звичайні вибори спільнотою чи процес відбору.
# Користувач отримає прохання поставити власний підпис і підпис одного з батьків чи опікунів під видозміненою версією [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|Угоди про конфіденційність]], яку їм буде прямо надіслано за умов схвалення. Користувача буде позначено як неповнолітнього на [[:m:Access to nonpublic personal data policy/Noticeboard|відповідній дошці оголошень]].

These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Մեր ծառայությունները==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

==7. Բովանդակության արտոնագրում==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work).

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}

==10. Կայքերի ղեկավարում==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part.

For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;我們的使用條款&lt;/span&gt;

'''想像一個世界，在這個世界裡每個人都能夠在知識海洋中自由地分享。這就是我們的承諾。 ''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|我们的展望宣言]]

歡迎訪問維基媒體！維基媒體基金會（以下稱“我們”）是一家非營利慈善組織。我們的[[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|使命]]是協助和促使人們收集、創作[[{{lwp|Free content}}|自由版權]]或公有領域的內容，並大力向全世界免費傳播。

为了支持我们充满活力的社区，我们为多语言维基项目及其版本的开发（如[[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|此处]]所述）以及服务于这一使命的其他努力提供了必要的基础设施和组织框架。我们努力使项目中的教育和信息内容永久免费在互联网上提供。

我們歡迎您（以下稱“您”或“用戶”）以讀者、編輯者、作者或貢獻者的身份參與到維基媒體項目中來，我們誠邀您加入維基媒體社群。但是，在您加入之前，我們懇請您閱讀並同意以下所述的使用條款（以下直呼“使用條款”）。
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
通過閱讀使用條款，您將了解到維基媒體基金會所提供的公共服務，您作為一名用戶同我們的關係，以及雙方之間的權利和責任。我們希望您了解，我們管理著數量極大的教育和信息內容，它們都是由像您一樣的用戶貢獻的。概括來說，我們不會貢獻、監控或刪除內容（違反使用條款或數字千年版權法等少數政策情況除外）。這意味著編輯控制權在您和同您一樣創建和管理內容的用戶手裡。我們很少管制這些內容。

社区——不断构建和使用各种站点或项目的用户网络——是实现任务目标的主要手段。社区为我们的网站做出贡献并帮助管理我们的网站。社区承担着为特定项目版本（例如维基百科计划的不同语言版本或维基共享资源多语言版本）创建和执行政策的关键功能。

欢迎您（用户）以贡献者、编者或作者的身份加入，但您应该遵守各独立项目版本所适用的政策，包括[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|通用行为准则]]（UCoC）——此准则适用于所有项目版本。维基百科是我们最大的项目，但我们也有其它目标和工作方式各不相同的项目。每一个项目版本都有贡献者、编者或作者团队，协同创作和管理该项目版本的内容。欢迎您加入这些团队，并与其成员共同改进这些项目。我们致力于让内容能够自由地为大众所用，因此您贡献的内容都将按照自由授权协议提供，或被发布到公有领域。

请注意，您须根据美利坚合众国法律和其它适用法律（可能包括您或您的贡献所在地法律），承担您因贡献、编辑和演绎维基媒体内容所产生的法律责任。这意味着在发布、修改或演绎内容时保持谨慎非常重要。鉴于这个责任，我们规定了一些您不能做的事情，这些规定大多数是为了保护您自己，或保护像您一样的其他用户。请记住，我们托管的内容仅为了一般目的，因此如果您需要对特定问题的专业建议（例如医疗、法律或财务问题），您应向合适的专家寻求帮助。我们还有其它重要提示和免责声明，所以请把以下使用条款完整读完。

為清楚起見，其他可能承擔相同使命的組織，例如[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|當地維基媒體分會]]和協會，在法律上仍然獨立於維基媒體基金會。除非基金會作為特定專案網站的授權方另有說明，否則這些其他組織對專案網站或其內容的運作不承擔任何責任。

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 一、我們的服務 ==

維基媒體基金會致力於鼓勵免費多語言內容的成長、開發和分發，並向公眾免費託管這些基於維基的專案的全部內容。我們的職責是主持一些世界上最大的協作編輯參考項目，[//www.wikimedia.org 點此查看]。然而，我們僅作為託管服務提供者，維護基礎設施和組織框架。此基礎設施和框架允許我們的用戶透過自己貢獻和編輯內容來建立專案。它們還允許我們的用戶重複使用該內容。我們維護的基礎設施包括專門的技術基礎設施，使用戶能夠以程式設計方式與專案（稱為「應用程式介面」或「API」）和行動應用程式進行互動並重複使用內容。

以下条款提到的“我们的服务”包括：[//www.wikimedia.org 我们主办的计划]、我们维护的技术架构以及我们为维护和改进计划而托管的所有技术空间。

基于我们独特的角色，考虑我们与您、与计划，及与其他用户的关系时，您应该注意以下几点：

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''我们不承担编辑职责：'''由于计划为合作编辑，我们托管的绝大多数内容都由用户提供，而我们并不承担编辑职责。这意味着我们通常不会监控或编辑计划网站的内容，也不为这些内容承担责任。类似地，除非我们另有明确声明，我们也不为经由我们服务表达的任何观点负责，亦不代表或保证提交到计划上的社群内容之真确性、准确性或可靠性。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''您对自己的行为负责：'''在法律上，您自行负责自己在计划上的编辑与贡献、对计划内容的演绎、对API的使用及更广泛意义上对我们服务的使用。为保护您自己，您应保持谨慎，避免做出一切可能依任何适用法律招致刑事或民事责任的行为。明确地说，适用法律至少包括美利坚合众国法律及加利福尼亚州法律。在其它国家或地区，适用法律依个案判定。我们警告用户——特别是编者、贡献者和作者——，美国以外的当局有可能寻求将他国法律适用于您，包括您居住国或浏览与编辑内容时的所在国，尽管我们未必同意此等行为。我们通常无法为反对类似法律之适用提供任何保护、保证、豁免或赔偿。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 二、隱私政策 ==

我們要求您查看[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|我們的隱私權政策條款]]，以便您了解我們如何收集和使用您的資訊。

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 三、我們託管的內容 ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''您可能会发现一些引人反感或存在错误的材料：'''由于我们托管大量由用户协作创作或搜集的信息，您可能遇见让您感到冒犯、错误、误导性或是错误标记的材料。因此，我们请您在使用我们的服务时运用常识作出恰当判辨。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''项目内容仅供一般参考之用：'''尽管我们的项目托管了大量涉及专业领域主题的信息，包括医疗、法律及财务事宜，展示这些内容仅供一般参考用。这些内容不应被视为专业建议。请寻求具有相应领域牌照或资质者的专业独立咨询，而不要依据任何项目网站中包含的任何信息、意见或建议行事。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 四、避免某些行為 ==

維基媒體基金會託管的專案之所以存在，是因為像您這樣充滿活力的使用者社群共同編寫、編輯和策劃內容。我們非常高興地歡迎您參與這個社區。我們鼓勵您在與社區中其他人的互動中保持文明和禮貌，真誠行事，並進行編輯和貢獻，以進一步實現共享專案的使命。我們要求所有使用者查看並遵守 [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|通用行為準則]]（「UCoC」），該準則規定了我們託管的所有專案中的學術、民事合作要求。

无论依适用法律是否合法，某些行为可能会伤害其他用户并违反我们的规则，而某些行为可能也会让您承担责任。因此，为保护您自己与其他用户，您不能在我们的平台上参加此等行为，也不能使用我们的计划做出此等行为。这些行为包括：

:'''骚扰及攻击他人'''
::* 从事UCoC所述之威胁、跟踪缠扰、滥发邮件、故意破坏或骚扰之行为；
::* 向他人传送连锁邮件、垃圾邮件或滥发邮件；
::* 出于严重伤害他人之目的，新发布或修改内容，例如故意教唆自残，或故意诱导癫痫发作。
:'''侵犯他人隐私'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* 侵犯他人受到美利坚合众国法律或其它适用法律（可能包括您居住地或浏览所在地或编辑所在地之法律）保护的隐私权；
::* 出于骚扰、剥削或侵犯隐私权之目的，或出于未经维基媒体基金会明示批准之宣传或商业目的，索求个人身份信息；及
::* 向任何不满18周岁者，或向未达您所在地规定之成年年龄（如果该规定之成年年龄高于18周岁）者，索求个人身份信息，用作非法用途或者违反涉及未成年人健康或福祉的任何适用法律。
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''提供虚假陈述、假冒他人或欺诈'''
::*故意张贴侮辱或诽谤的内容；
::*以欺骗为目的张贴虚假或不准确内容；
::*企图冒充其他用户和个人、伪造您与人和个人或实体的关系、以欺骗为目的使用他人用户名；以及
::*从事诈骗。
:'''侵犯知识产权'''
::* 侵犯著作权、商标权、专利权或其它由适用法律规定的财产权利。
:'''出于其它非法目的滥用我们的服务'''
::* 發佈兒童色情或其他違反兒童色情方面相關法律的內容或兒童性虐待內容，或鼓勵、培養、或提倡他人製作或分享此類內容；
::* 發佈或販賣違反相關法律的淫穢內容；以及
::* 以違反相關法律的方式使用此服務。
:'''破坏和非法滥用设施'''
::*张贴或散布含有任何病毒、恶意软件、蠕虫、特洛伊木马、恶意代码或其他可能伤害我们的技术设备、系统或用户的作品；
::*进行滥用性或扰乱性的、没有得到社群允许的自动化操作；
::*通过对项目站点或连接到项目站点的服务器或网络施加过度负担扰乱服务；
::*通过发送大量通信或其他与项目原本目的无关的流量淹没扰乱服务；
;:*未经授权故意访问、篡改或使用我们的计算机系统任何非公开部分；以及
::*探测、扫描或测试任何我们的技术系统或网络的漏洞，除非满足下述所有情况：
:::* 此類行為不會過度濫用或破壞我們的技術系統或網路；
:::*这些行为并不是为谋求除取得对您的检测工作的承认外的更多私利；
:::* 您向相關開發人員回報任何漏洞（或自行修復）；和
:::* 您不會出於惡意或破壞性目的採取此類行動。
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''有偿编辑而不公开披露'''

::*本使用条款禁止用户参与欺骗性活动，包括「陈述所属机构失实」、「冒名顶替」或「诈欺」。为了保证您遵守这规定，在您於维基媒体的任一项目所收取或將收取之报酬的任何編輯贡献方面，必须公开您的雇用者、客户及所属机构。您必须从下列至少一种以上方式公开有关編輯活動：
:::*在您的用户页上作出声明，
:::*在有偿编辑内容所相映的讨论页中作出声明，或者
:::*在有偿编辑的编辑摘要中作出声明。
::*其他法律以及维基媒体基金会或社群的方针与指引中的相关规定，例如关于利益冲突的规定，可能会对有偿编辑有更严格的限制，或要求更详细的声明。
::* 适用法律，或项目特有的政策方针和基金会政策方针和指导原则，例如处理利益冲突的上述文件，可能会进一步限制有偿贡献，或是要求更为详细的披露。例如，侵犯维基媒体商标权（定义见第6节，下同）以宣传有偿编辑服务、删除先前已充分披露的有偿编辑披露信息，或作出使得充分披露事实上不可能做到的未登录编辑等行为，均违反本节规定。
::* 维基媒体项目社区可采用其它有偿编辑披露方针，作为本节的补充或取代本节规定。如果项目采用其它有偿编辑披露方针，在该项目贡献时，您可遵守对应方针，而无须遵守本小节（题为“有偿编辑而不公开披露”）的规定。

:: 欲了解更多信息，請閱讀我們的[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|有關披露已繳捐款的常見問題解答]]。


用户作出未披露有偿编辑，会给[[:w:zh:Wikipedia:利益冲突|负责调查和执行社区政策方针的]]志愿编者制造不合理的负担。因此，对于违反本节涉及未披露付费编辑规定的行为，您同意接受本使用条款第14节所述的具有约束力的“先调解后仲裁”（Med-Arb）（“市场营销公司调解”）。

我們保留對本使用條款第 4 條的規定行使執行自由裁量權的權利。如有需要，這些條款的執行可能包括維基媒體基金會[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|基金會行動方針]]中未列出的行動。如果在新情況下需要執行，我們將努力在最多一 (1) 年內更新審查意見通知書政策，以對新類型的行動進行分類。

{{anchor|5}}

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 五、密碼安全 ==

您有責任保護自己的密碼和其他安全憑證，切勿將其洩露給任何第三方。

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 六、商標 ==

尽管您在很大程度上可以自由演绎计划网站上的内容，十分重要的一点是，维基媒体基金会的我们保护我们的商标权，从而保护我们的用户免遭意图欺诈的假冒者的侵害。基于此，我们请您尊重我们的商标。所有维基媒体基金会商标均为维基媒体基金会所有，任何对我们商号、商标、服务标识、标识及域名的使用均必须遵守此服务条款，且须符合我们的[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|商标方针]]。

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 七、內容授權 ==

为了扩大自由知识与自由文化的共享资源，向项目或项目网站作出贡献的所有用户均被要求向普罗大众授予广泛的许可，允许大众在妥当标明出处并对其衍生作品授予同等的演绎与传播的自由的前提下，自由地传播和演绎他们的贡献。我们的目标是将自由的信息提供给尽可能广泛的受众，因此我们要求在必要时对所有提交内容进行许可，以便让任何可访问此等内容者都可以自由地演绎之。

您同意遵守下列许可要求：
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''您拥有著作权的文字：'''当您提交自有版权的文字时，您同意按照以下许可证授权：
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} 知识共享 署名-相同方式共享 4.0 国际许可证]（“CC BY-SA 4.0”），及
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU自由文档许可证]（“GFDL”）（未版本控制、无恒常章节、无前封面文字或后封面文字）

演绎者须遵守上列授权协议之一或遵守两个授权协议。&lt;br /&gt;
唯一的例外情况是，项目版本或功能需要不同的许可协议。此种情况下，您同意将您贡献的任何文字按照该项目版本或功能订明的许可协议授权。

请注意，这些许可协议确实允许商用您的贡献，只要此等使用符合相应的许可协议。在您享有CC BY-SA 4.0规定的数据库特别权利之处，您放弃此等权利。举例来说，这就意味着您向项目贡献的事实可在不注明出处的情况下自由演绎。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''署名：'''署名是这些许可协议中的重要组成部分。我们认为，这即是给和您一样的作者以应有的认可。当您贡献文本时，您同意以下列任意方式署名：
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;经由指向您作出贡献的条目的超链接（如可能）或URL（因为每则条目均有列出所有贡献者、作者和编者的页面历史）；&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;经由指向一个稳定的等效线上副本的超链接（如可能）或URL，该副本可自由访问，符合相关许可协议要求，并以等效于项目网站的方式肯定作者的贡献；或&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;经由列出所有作者的列表（但请注意任何作者列表均可能过滤排除太小或不相关的贡献）。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''匯入文本：'''您可以導入在其他地方找到的文本或與他人共同創作的文本，但在這種情況下，您聲明並保證該文本可根據與 CC BY-SA 兼容的條款使用 （或者，如上所述，當專案版本或功能有特殊要求時，另一個許可證）。有關相容授權的列表，請參閱 [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]。您不得匯入僅根據 GFDL 提供的內容。&lt;br /&gt;

您同意，如您导入依照要求署名的CC许可协议授权的文本，则必须以合理方式为作者署名。在类似署名常通过页面历史完成的地方（例如维基媒体内部复制），导入文本时通过编辑摘要署名即为足够，这将记录在页面历史上。特定情况下，署名要求有时太过苛刻（无论许可协议为何），维基媒体社区可能因此认为已导入文本不能使用。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''非文本媒体：'''项目上的非文本媒体可依照一系列支持“演绎与再分发不受限制”这一总目标的许可协议使用。当您贡献非文本媒体时，您同意遵守我们[[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|许可协议方针]]所述的对此等许可协议的要求，并遵守您所贡献的对应项目版本或功能的要求。参见[[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|维基共享资源许可协议方针]]以了解更多关于向维基共享资源贡献非文本内容的信息。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''不得撤销许可：'''除非许可协议允许，即使您终止使用我们的服务，您也不会单方面撤销或寻求废除您依本使用条款贡献给项目或功能的文本内容或非文本媒体的任何许可。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''公有领域内容：'''欢迎公有领域内容。然而，确认相关内容依照美利坚合众国法律以及对应项目版本所要求的其它国家和地区法律确实属于公有领域同样重要。当您贡献公有领域内容时，您保证该材料确实属于公有领域，并同意适当标注之。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''演绎：'''我们欢迎对我们托管的内容进行演绎，但基于“合理使用”或符合适用著作权法律的类似豁免而贡献给我们的内容除外。任何演绎均应当遵守下一层的许可协议。&lt;br /&gt;

当您演绎或再分发由维基媒体社区制作的文字页面时，您同意以下列任意方式对作者进行署名：
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;经由指向您所演绎之条目的超链接（如可能）或URL（因为每则条目均有列出所有贡献者、作者和编者的页面历史）；&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;经由指向一个稳定的等效线上副本的超链接（如可能）或URL，该副本可自由访问，符合相关许可协议要求，并以等效于项目网站的方式肯定作者的贡献；或&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;经由列出所有作者的列表（但请注意任何作者列表均可能过滤排除太小或不相关的贡献）。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

如果文本内容导入自其它来源，有可能该内容以兼容的CC BY-SA许可协议授权，但不以GFDL协议授权（如上文“导入文本”所述）。这种情况下，您同意遵守兼容的CC BY-SA许可协议，且您没有将此内容按照GFDL许可协议二次授权的选择。要判断您欲演绎或再分发的内容适用何种许可协议，您应检查页面脚注、页面历史和讨论页。

此外请注意，由外部来源导入至项目的文本可能是按照带有额外署名要求的许可协议授权的。用户同意明确指出此等额外署名要求。取决于项目，此等要求可能出现在诸如横幅（banner）或其它说明中，指明部分或全部内容最初在其它地方发布。如有此类明显标注，演绎者应当保留之。

对于任意非文本媒体，您同意遵守该作品发布的适用许可协议（可通过点击该作品并在其描述页查看许可协议一节或检查该作品适用的来源页找到）。演绎我们托管的任何内容时，您都同意遵守相关的署名要求，因为它们涉及再下一层的一个或多个许可协议。&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''对您演绎的内容作出的修改或添增：'''修改或添增您从项目网站上取得的文本时，您同意依照CC BY-SA 4.0或以后版本授权修改后或增添后的内容（例外情况如上文所述，即相应项目版本或功能要求以另一个许可协议授权）。&lt;br /&gt;

修改或添增您从项目网站上取得的非文本媒体时，您同意根据该作品公开发布所用的许可协议，许可修改或添增的内容。&lt;br /&gt;

对于文本内容与非文本媒体，您都同意明确指出原作品已经过修改。如您在一个维基中演绎文本内容，在页面历史中指明您修改过导入文本即足够。对于您分发的每一份副本或修改后的版本，您同意附上许可协议说明，指出该作品的许可协议，并附上该许可协议的超链接或URL或附上许可协议本身。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

維基媒體基金會希望確保我們所託管的內容可以使其它用戶在一個不必擔心承擔責任，同時確保這些內容沒有侵犯他人的專有權利的情況下再次使用。為了公平對待我們的用戶以及其他創作者和版權持有者，我們的政策是回應那些符合《數字千年版權法案》（DMCA）中所規定的涉嫌侵權的通知。根據《數字千年版權法》，我們將在適當情況下終止經常在我們的系統和網絡的許多-{zh-hans:项目;zh-hant:計劃;}-和服務中侵權的用戶和賬戶持有人。

然而，我们也意识到并非每一份删除通知都有效或都出于善意。此类情况下，我们大力鼓励用户在合理相信DMCA侵权删除要求无效或不当时提交反通知。要进一步了解自认提交DMCA通知失当时的做法，您可访问[//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen数据库]网站。

如果您拥有的内容未经允许在项目之一上不当使用，您可依DMCA提交通知要求删除内容。要作出此类要求，请通过{{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}给我们寄电子邮件，或[[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|向我们的指定代理人寄送蜗牛邮件]]。

或者，您可向我们的社区提出申请，这样处理版权问题通常比经DMCA规定的流程处理来得更快更有效。这种情况下，您可发布通知阐述您的版权疑虑。如需各项目版本中相关流程的不详尽非权威列表，可[[:m:Copyright problems|浏览版权问题页面]]。提交DMCA通知之前，您也可以选择经{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}向社区寄送电子邮件。

== 九、第三方网站及资源 ==

您须独自承担使用任何第三方网站及资源产生的责任。尽管计划与计划网站包含指向第三方网站及资源的链接，我们并不为其有效性、准确性以及相关内容、产品或服务背书，亦不对其负责（包括但不限于病毒及其它致损功能）；此外，我们也没有任何义务监管此类第三方内容。

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 十、网站的管理 ==

社区在制定与执行适用于不同项目版本的政策方针方面起主要作用。在维基媒体基金会，我们极少干预社区对政策方针及其执行所作出的决定。

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
[[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|通过直接联系我们]]来告知我们违法内容或因其它原因违反使用条款（包括所有通过提及而包含在内的政策方针和其它文档）的内容是可行的。然而，您通常也可以直接向项目社区提出请求：这可能更有效率，也更加符合我们项目赋能用户社区的目标。
&lt;/div&gt;


每一个项目通常都会提供“帮助”或“联系”页供进一步指导，或是提供用于报告问题的特定工具。此外——如有疑问——您也可以寻求社区的帮助，方式是发送电子邮件到{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}，或从[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|志愿者回复团队页面]]找到特定语言专用的收件地址。请注意，这些收件箱是项目的用户监控的，不是基金会监控的。故而，不应威胁他们或向他们提出法律要求。

如您向基金会反映问题，我们通常情况下会研究现有社区主导的机制能否及如何调查该问题，以及解决（如适当）该问题。

不寻常的情况下，我们可能需要，或社区可能要求我们，去对付因严重扰乱项目或危险行为而尤其棘手的用户或尤其棘手的内容。此种情形下，我们保留自行决定（或是按照法律的强制要求）实施以下措施的权利：

* 调查您对项目或我们服务的使用(a)以查明是否有发生违反本使用协议、项目版本政策方针或其它适用法律及政策方针的行为，或(b)从而遵守任何适用法律、法律程序或恰当的政府要求；
* 检测、预防或是处理欺诈、虚假或无法查证的信息、安全或技术问题或回应用户支持请求；
* 拒绝、恢复、禁用或限制任何违反本使用条款的用户对贡献的访问；
* 禁止用户编辑或贡献，或因其违反本使用条款的行为而封锁用户的账户或访问，包括重复发布根据符合人权原则的适用法律判断为不合法的材料；
* 针对违反本使用条款的用户采取法律行动（包括向执法机关报告）；及
* 通过旨在促进项目网站正常运作及保护我们自己和我们的用户、许可方、合作伙伴与大众的权利、财产和安全的手段，以其它方式管理项目网站。

这些基金会管理活动可由软件通知或执行［如流量泛洪（“拒绝服务”）防护 ］。这些情况下，通常可[[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|要求]]人为审查。

为保护我们用户和项目的利益，在任何个人的账户或访问被依照本节封锁的极端情况下，除非得到我们的明确允许，他们即被禁止在同一项目上创建或使用另一个账户，或是藉此寻求访问同一个项目。在不限制社区管辖权力的前提下，基金会自身不会仅仅因为未导致违反本使用条款或社区政策方针行为的善意批评，而禁止用户编辑或贡献，或是封禁用户的账户或访问。

维基媒体社区及其成员也可在适用于具体项目版本的社区或基金会政策方针允许时，采取包括但不限于警告、调查、封锁或禁止违反此等规定的用户的行动。您同意遵守社区为特定计划版本设立的争议解决机构（如仲裁委员会）作出的最终决定；这些决定可能包括特定项目版本制定的政策方针所规定的惩罚。

根据[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|全域禁制方针]]，在多个项目版本的账户或访问权限被封锁的问题特别严重的用户可能会被所有项目版本禁制。与理事会决议或本使用条款不同，社区订立的政策方针可由相关社区依照其自己的流程修改，这些政策方针可以仅覆盖单一项目版本，也可以覆盖多个项目版本（例如全域禁制方针）。

按照本条规定封锁账户或访问权限或禁止用户，应遵守本使用条款第13节。

如您相信我们并未对棘手内容的报告采取令人满意的行动，或您受到基金会管理行动的影响而您希望就此提出异议，您也许可以[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|提出申诉]]。其它关于申诉途径的信息可能会在当时向您解释，或在具体到项目的帮助页面中解释。

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
若用户或第三方的报告或其它通信是恶意、重复、毫无根据及/或辱骂性的，我们保留中止（无论是暂时还是永久）处理此等报告或其它通信的权利，无论它们关于涉嫌违法或其它有问题的内容或行为，还是在要求对管理行动提出申诉。如果情况合适，您的电子邮箱地址甚至可能被我们的电子邮件系统封锁，这样，您如果希望在被封锁时进一步与我们通信，就需要[[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|通过我们的邮寄地址]]与我们联系了。更为频繁或更有辱骂性的通讯，更有可能导致永久性的措施。
&lt;/div&gt;


{{anchor|11}}

&lt;span id=&quot;11._Resolutions_and_Project_Policies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 十一、决议与项目方针 ==

维基媒体基金会理事会不时[[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|发布官方方针政策]]。其中一些方针可能对特定项目或项目版本具强制效力。您同意在此种情况下遵守适用的方针政策。

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 十二、API条款 ==

我们提供一系列API（包括文档与相关工具）使用户得以构建促进自由知识的产品。使用我们的API，即表示您同意遵守所有适用的API政策方针，包括但不限于[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|用户代理方针]]、[[wikitech:Robot policy|机器人方针]]和[[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]]（统称为“API文档”），这些政策方针通过提及纳入本使用条款。

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==十三、终止使用==

尽管我们希望您留下来继续为项目做贡献，但是您随时可以停止使用我们的服务。在特定情况下（但愿这个情况不可能发生），我们或者维基媒体社区或该社区成员（如第十节所述）可能必须终止我们的部分或全部服务、终止该使用条款之适用、封锁您的账号或访问权，抑或是将您作为用户封禁。如果您的账号或访问权被封锁或出于任何理由被终止，您的公开贡献，及在项目上或与项目有关的活动（包括您与我们的通信）之记录将不受影响（须受相关政策方针约束），您也仍然可以仅为了阅读我们项目上公开可用内容，而访问我们的公开页面。但在此情形您不能访问您的账号或设置。然而，无论本条款中其它规定为何，我们保留随时暂停或终止服务的权利，不论有无理由，也不论有无通知。即使在您使用或参与资格被封禁、封锁或是终止之后，本使用条款相关规定仍继续有效，包括第一、第三、第四、第六、第七、第九至第十六节，及第十八节。

{{anchor|14}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;十四、争端和司法管辖&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''重要内容以高亮强调''

我们希望与您相关的严重分歧不会出现，但万一出现分歧，我们鼓励您通过争端解决程序或由项目或项目版本及维基媒体基金会提供的机制，寻求解决分歧。如您寻求向我们提出法律索赔，您同意仅在位于加利福尼亚州旧金山郡的州或联邦法院提出并解决之。您还同意，加利福尼亚州法律，及适用范围内美利坚合众国法律将管辖本使用条款，以及您与我们之间可能提出的任何法律索赔（不涉及法律冲突原则）。在涉及我们或本使用条款的法律行动或程序中，您同意接受位于加利福尼亚旧金山郡的法院的对人管辖权，并同意该地是适当的审判地。

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
为确保争端产生后能尽快处理，您同意，即使任何法规或法律有不同规定，您对我们服务的使用或由本使用条款引起，或涉及此使用或条款的任何索赔或诉因，必须在适用的诉讼时效内，或此类索赔或诉因的相关事实能在适当勤勉下得以发现后的一年内（如更早），提出（否则永久丧失）。
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
如本使用条款第4节所述，您同意由基金会酌情决定通过市场营销公司调解解决未披露有偿编辑规定的违规行为。市场营销公司调解是'''具有约束力'''的调解程序，其中，在半天或全天会议结束时，任何尚未解决的争议项目均将由调解人做出具有法律约束力的裁决。调解将通过电话会议或视频会议进行。如需面谈，市场营销公司调解将在加利福尼亚旧金山郡进行。各方将平摊与调解/仲裁相关的所有费用和开销。

您同意作为市场营销公司调解的一方配合基金会，包括及时提供您保管的任何与您未披露有偿编辑行为相关的文件，包括使用的账户、受影响的条目及购买此类服务的客户。

市场营销公司调解受《联邦仲裁法》的约束和管辖，其中调解人成为仲裁人。胜诉方应有权追回其律师费（包括确定市场营销公司调解适用性和执行具有约束力的结果所必需的费用）以及与调查和执行其权利有关的所有费用。即使未能在其主张的所有追索中均获胜，一方也仍可认定为“胜诉”。

如果出于某种原因，这些市场营销公司调解的全部要求被认定为不可执行，则您同意按本节开头所述的方式解决任何争议。
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|15}}

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;十五、免责声明&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

在维基媒体基金会，我们尽最大努力为广大受众提供教育性及信息性内容，但您须自行承担使用我们的服务产生的风险。我们“按原样”“在现有可用时”提供这些服务，并明确否认一切明示或暗示的任何形式的担保，包括但不限于对适销性、特定用途适用性及内容非侵权性的暗示保证。我们并不保证我们的服务满足您的要求，不保证其安全、可靠、不间断、及时、精确或无错误，也不保证您的信息安全。

我们对第三方的内容、数据或行为概不负责，您免除我们和我们的董事、高管、员工和代理对由您向任何此类第三方索赔引起的或基于任何原因与此相关的索赔或损害的责任。您从我们或通过我们的服务或从服务获得的任何口头或书面建议或信息，均不构成未在此服务协议明示的任何形式的保证。

您使用我们的服务下载或通过其它方式取得材料的行为均由您自行斟酌并自行承担相应风险，您须对下载此等材料导致的计算机受损或数据丢失承担全部责任。您同意，对于任何由服务维护的任何内容或通讯的删除或存储失败或传输失败，我们均不承担任何责任或义务。我们保留无论有无通知均可随时自行决定限制使用或存储的权利。

一些州或司法管辖区不允许本节中此种类型的免责声明，因此这些声明可能部分或全部不适用于您，具体取决于法律规定。&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;十六、责任限制&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

维基媒体基金会不为您或任何其他方的任何直接、间接、附带、特殊、衍生、惩罚性损害负责，包括但不限于利润、商誉、使用权、数据损失或其它无形损失，无论我们是否已得到类似损失可能发生的告知。无论何种情况，我们的赔偿责任均不得超过总计壹仟美元（US$1000.00）。倘若适用法律不允许限制或排除责任或附带损害或间接损害赔偿，则上述限制或排除可能不适用于您，但我们的责任将在法律允许的最大程度上限制得尽量少。&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|17}}
&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 十七、对此使用条款的修改 ==

正如维基媒体社区的输入对项目的成长与维护是必不可少的那样，我们相信社区的输入对本使用条款得以为用户提供适当服务也是必不可少的。公平的合约同样必不可少。因此，我们给社区提供此使用条款和本使用条款未来的任何重大修订，供社区在不少于三十（30）天的征求意见期内评论。如果未来拟进行的修订特别重大，我们还会在发布拟议修订的至少三种语言的译本（语言由我们自行选择）之后，再提供另外30天供评论。我们鼓励社区酌情将拟议修订翻译为其它语言。对于出于法律或行政原因的修改，或为修正不准确的陈述而作的修改，或为回应社区评论而作的修改，我们将提前至少三（3）天通知。

由于本使用条款可能需要不时修改，我们将通过项目网站和[[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]上的通知，提供此类修改的告知及通过项目网站评论的机会。然而，我们请您定期检查本使用条款的最新版本。新版使用条款在通知发布且审查期结束后正式生效，您继续使用我们的服务，即代表您接受这些使用条款。为了保护维基媒体基金会和与您一样的其他用户，如果您不同意我们的使用条款，您就不能使用我们的服务。

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 十八、其它条款 ==

本服务协议并不在您与我们（维基媒体基金会）之间建立雇佣、代理、合伙、共同控制或合资关系。就欧洲经济区法律、英国法律或其它拥有类似概念的法律而言，您使用我们的服务时并非“在基金会的授权之下”。倘若您未与我们另签一份单独协议，本使用协议就是您与我们之间的完整协议。若本使用条款与您与我们书面签署的协议之间有所冲突，以已签署的协议为准。

您同意，我们可以通过电子邮件、常规邮件或在项目或项目网站上的贴文向您通知包括涉及修改本使用条款的的事项。

即使我们在任何情况下不使用或执行本使用条款的任何规定，也不代表我们放弃该规定。

您同意，除非我们另行书面同意，您不期望为任何活动、贡献或向我们、社区或项目或项目版本提供的想法获得报酬。

尽管某些条文可能与本使用条款冲突，我们（维基媒体基金会）和您同意，如果某自由许可协议已由本使用条款批准使用，就不修改项目或项目版本使用的该自由许可协议中适用的条款与要求。

此服务条款以美国英语写成。虽然我们希望此服务条款的译文足够精确，一旦译文与英文原版在意义上存在出入，应以英文原版为准。

如果使用条款的任何规定或一规定的部分内容不合法、无效或不可执行，此规定或此规定的部分内容应被视为可从使用条款中分割的部分并会在最大许可范围内执行，使用条款的剩余部分仍然保留有完全效力。

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 感謝您！ ==

我們非常感謝您抽出寶貴時間來閱讀這些使用條款，同時我們也很高興有您使用我們的服務並為維基媒體項目作出貢獻。您每作出一份貢獻就是在為構建某個宏偉事物出一份力——這個事物不僅是一個由多個重要的參考類專案組成的集合，由無數人合作編輯而給予無數人教育與訊息，亦是一個志同道合且活力四射的社區，每個成員都精神百倍地專注於同一個崇高的目標。

For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

'''Доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів''' допомагає користувачам захищати проєкти Вікімедіа. Цей доступ є окремим від доступу до [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:IP Information tool guidelines|інструменту IP-інфо]]. Для тих користувачів, які не підтверджували згоду з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політикою доступу до непублічних персональних даних]], умовою надання доступу є згода з нижчевикладеними настановами.

== {{int string|Background}} ==

Проєкти Вікімедіа є продуктом співпраці глобальної спільноти користувачів-волонтерів. Проєкти можна редагувати із входом або без входу в обліковий запис Вікімедіа. Ті, хто редагує без входу в обліковий запис Вікімедіа, роблять це з використанням тимчасового облікового запису, який не має облікових даних для входу.

== {{int string|Purpose}} ==

Фонд Вікімедіа дає певним залогіненим користувачам доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів, щоб забезпечити цим користувачам змогу застосовувати правила чи розслідувати потенційні порушення політик Фонду Вікімедіа чи політик спільнот користувачів. Доступ використовується для боротьби з вандалізмом і спамом, перевірок на ляльководіння, а також для обмеження деструктивного внеску у проєкти Вікімедіа.
{{anchor|Use and disclosure}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Use_and_disclosure_of_temporary_account_IP_addresses&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Використання та розкриття IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів ==

Доступ до IP-адрес незалогінених редакторів обмежений політикою. Цим забезпечується, що ця інформація буде використовуватися лише для боротьби зі зловживаннями у проєктах Вікімедіа. Користувачі, які мають доступ до IP-адрес, не повинні ділитися ними з тими, хто не має таких самих прав доступу, крім випадків, коли розкриття є допустимим згідно з наведеними нижче настановами. 

Сторонні суб'єкти, які можуть захотіти отримати доступ до IP-адрес, можуть зв'язуватися з користувачами, які мають на це право, щоб спробувати отримати цю інформацію. Користувачі з правами доступу до ІР-адрес повинні це усвідомлювати і попереджати про можливість підозрілих запитів на доступ.

&lt;span id=&quot;Use_of_temporary_account_IP_addresses&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Використання IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів ===

Використання IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів можливе виключно для розслідування чи правозастосування проти вандалізму, зловживань, спаму, переслідування, деструктивної поведінки та інших порушень політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільнот. Доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів має відбуватися за потреби й у відповідності з цими настановами, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Політикою приватності]], а також більш обмежувальними локальними правилами, застосовними у відповідному проєкті.

Доступ не має використовуватися для політичного контролю, здійснення тиску на редакторів чи погроз іншим редакторам у суперечках щодо вмісту. Необхідна наявність вагомої причини для перевірки тимчасового користувача. Зверніть увагу, що використання багатьох тимчасових облікових записів не забороняється, поки вони не використовуються для порушення правил (прикладом порушення є уникнення блокувань чи банів).

Ті, у кого є доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів, мають змогу визначити, з яких IP-адрес тимчасовий обліковий запис виконував у вікі Вікімедіа редагування або дії, що реєструються. Ця інформація зберігається лише протягом короткого періоду (наразі 90 днів), тому IP-адреси, які використовувалися до цього, не будуть показані. IP-адреси доступні, якщо натиснути кнопку «Показати IP» на сторінках журналу, історії, а також останніх змін. IP-адреси також доступні за допомогою інструменту Інформація про IP.

Реєструються такі дії:
* Коли користувач через налаштування дозволяє або забороняє розкриття IP-адреси для його облікового запису.
* Розкриття IP-адреси тимчасового облікового запису.
* Висвітлення тимчасових облікових записів, пов'язаних з IP-адресою.

&lt;span id=&quot;Disclosure&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Розкриття ===

Навіть якщо користувач порушує правила, по змозі уникайте розкриття особової інформації. Використовуйте імена тимчасових користувачів замість прямого розкриття IP-адрес або використовуйте інформацію на зразок «та сама мережа / інша мережа» чи подібну.

У цілях підтримання безпеки проєктів та інших користувачів, користувачам може все ж бути потрібно розкрити IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів третім сторонам. Допустиме розкриття обмежується такими обставинами:
* Користувачі з доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів можуть у приватному порядку розкривати IP-адреси іншим користувачам, які мають такі ж права доступу.
* У випадку обґрунтованої необхідності, користувачі з доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів також можуть розкривати IP-адреси у доречних місцях, що забезпечать їм можливість забезпечувати дотримання або розслідувати потенційні порушення наших [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Умов користування]], Політики приватності чи будь-яких інших політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільнот. До доречних місць для такого розкриття належать сторінки, пов'язані з [[wikidata:Q10854626#sitelinks-wikipedia|повторюваним вандалізмом]]. Якщо таке розкриття пізніше втрачає необхідність, то IP-адреси мають бути негайно прибрані шляхом приховання версій редагувань.
* Користувачі, які уже підтверджували згоду з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політикою доступу до непублічних персональних даних]], також можуть розкривати IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів, як дозволено цією політикою.
Якщо IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів необхідно розкрити у зв'язку з [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Threats of harm|погрозою неминучої фізичної шкоди]], слід негайно надіслати листа з деталями запиту на emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org, щоб його можна було оцінити на предмет можливого розкриття Фондом.

Користувачі можуть повідомляти про будь-які офіційні та неофіційні запити, які вони отримують і які не підпадають під сферу дії цієї політики, включно з запитами від правоохоронних органів, урядових установ, адвокатів чи інших третіх осіб, до юридичного відділу Фонду Вікімедіа на адресу legal{{@}}wikimedia.org.
{{anchor|requirements-for-access}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Minimum_requirements_for_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Мінімальні вимоги до доступу ==

Доступ можливий лише для залогінених користувачів. Щоб отримати доступ, користувачі мають відповідати вимогам до їхньої групи користувачів, які викладено нижче. Користувачам, які подають заявку на отримання і глобального і локального доступу, достатньо відповідати вимогам лише для глобального доступу. Право на розкриття IP-адреси не може бути об'єднане з правами користувачів, наданими групам користувачів, які не вказані в списку. Користувачі, які є членами груп, що не вказані в списку, можуть отримати доступ, виконавши вимоги, встановлені для [[Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Other users|інших користувачів]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Global_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Глобальний доступ ===

Членам певних глобальних груп користувачів і певних локальних груп користувачів для виконання своїх ролей потрібен доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів у всіх проєктах Вікімедіа. Вимоги до доступу залежать від групи користувачів. Користувачі, які входять до більше ніж однієї з груп, перелічених нижче, мають відповідати вимогам лише для однієї зі своїх груп користувачів. Наприклад, члени груп омбудів і підтримувачів фільтрів зловживань отримають автоматичний доступ відповідно до вимог до омбудів; такий доступ все одно буде для обох ролей.

&lt;span id=&quot;Stewards,_Ombuds,_U4C,_and_Staff&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Стюарди, омбуди, U4C і співробітники ====

Доступ автоматично надається користувачам, які є членами будь-якої з цих глобальних груп користувачів: [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|стюарди]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|омбуди]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Координаційний комітет Універсального кодексу поведінки (U4C)]] і співробітники. Стюарди, омбуди і члени U4C мають працювати з IP-адресами з дотриманням цих настанов і [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політики доступу до непублічних даних]]. Співробітники мають працювати з IP-адресами відповідного до своїх угод про нерозголошення (NDA).

&lt;span id=&quot;Global_sysops,_Global_rollbackers,_and_Abuse_filter_maintainers_and_helpers&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Глобальні адміни, глобальні відкочувачі, підтримувачі і переглядачі фільтрів зловживань ====

Користувачі, які належать до груп [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global sysops|глобальних адмінів]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global rollback|глобальних відкочувачів]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abuse filter maintainers|підтримувачів фільтра зловживань]] і [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abuse filter helpers|переглядачів фільтра зловживань]] можуть увімкнути собі доступ глобально через [[Special:GlobalPreferences]]. Ці користувачі повинні погодитися використовувати IP-адреси згідно з цими настановами, виключно для розслідування або запобігання вандалізму, зловживанням чи іншим порушенням політик Фонду Вікімедіа чи спільноти. Альтернативою для цих користувачів буде не вмикати доступ глобально; тоді глобальний доступ не буде надано, якщо тільки ці користувачі не належать також до глобальних груп користувачів з автоматичним глобальним доступом.

&lt;span id=&quot;CheckUsers_and_Oversighters&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Чек'юзери та приховувачі ====

Користувачі, які є членами локальних груп [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|чек'юзерів]] або [[m:Oversight policy|приховувачів]], можуть увімкнути собі доступ глобально через [[Special:GlobalPreferences]]. Ці користувачі мають працювати з IP-адресами з дотриманням цих настанов і [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політики доступу до непублічних даних]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Local_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Локальний доступ ===

Деяким користувачам для захисту індивідуальних «локальних» проєктів Вікімедіа необхідний доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів в цих проєктах. Вимоги для доступу залежать від локальної групи користувачів. Користувачам, які є членами більше ніж однієї групи користувачів з перелічених нижче, достатньо відповідати вимогам до однієї зі своїх груп користувачів. Наприклад, член обох локальних груп чек'юзерів і бюрократів отримає автоматичний доступ за вимогами до чек'юзерів; доступ такого користувача все одно буде для обох ролей.

&lt;span id=&quot;CheckUsers_and_Oversighters&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Чек'юзери та приховувачі ====

Локальний доступ надається автоматично користувачам, які є локальними [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|чек'юзерами]] або [[m:Oversight policy|приховувачами]]. Очікується, що ці користувачі працюватимуть з IP-адресами згідно з цією настановою і [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політикою доступу до непублічних даних]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Administrators_and_Bureaucrats&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Адміністратори та бюрократи ====

Локальні [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Administrator|адміністратори]] та [[m:Bureaucrat|бюрократи]] можуть увімкнути собі доступ через [[Special:Preferences]] у локальному проєкті і погодитися використовувати IP-адреси згідно з цими настановами, виключно для розслідування чи попередження вандалізму, зловживань та інших порушень політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільнот. Альтернативою для цих користувачів буде не вмикати доступ; тоді доступ не буде надано, якщо тільки ці користувачі не належать також до груп користувачів з автоматичним доступом.

&lt;span id=&quot;Other_users&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Інші користувачі ====

Користувачі, які не входять до вищеперелічених груп, можуть все ж потребувати доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів для [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolling|патрулювання]], розслідування [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Sock puppetry|ляльководства]] та чи інших заходів захисту проєктів Вікімедіа.

Для доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів ці користувачі повинні:
# {{anchor|point-3}}Відповідати усім таким загальним вимогам:
## Обліковий запис користувача створено не менше 6 місяців тому, а також
## З облікового запису зроблено не менше 300 редагувань у локальному проєкті.
# &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Подати запит на доступ до місцевих адміністраторів, бюрократів, якщо це передбачено місцевим консенсусом,&lt;ref group=Note&gt;Спільноти, які бажають змінити варіант за умовчанням з адміністраторів на бюрократів, повинні подати [[phab:transactions/editengine/maniphest.task/view/139/ |запит через Фабрикатор]]&lt;/ref&gt; або стюардів. Як частина цієї перевірки можуть бути висунуті додаткові вимоги, такі як:&lt;/span&gt;
## Мінімум 600 редагувань основного простору в місцевому проєкті,
## Продемонстровані докази попередньої роботи з патрулювання,
## Участь у виборчому процесі в спільноті, та/або
## Будь-які інші вимоги, якщо вони не нижчі за загальні вимоги.
# Увімкнути доступ через [[Special:Preferences|Спеціальна:Налаштування]] у локальному проєкті, а також
# Підтвердити згоду використовувати IP-адреси згідно з цими настановами, виключно для розслідування чи попередження вандалізму, зловживань чи інших порушень політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільноти, а також розуміти ризики та відповідальність, пов'язані з цим привілеєм.
Щоб продовжувати користуватися доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів, користувачі з цієї категорії мають здійснити принаймні одне редагування або зареєстровану дію&lt;ref group=Note&gt; Зареєстрована дія — це будь-що, що відображається на сторінці Спеціальна:Журнали&lt;/ref&gt; у локальному проєкті за 365 днів.

&lt;span id=&quot;Exceptions_to_minimum_requirements&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
===== Винятки з мінімальних вимог =====

Якщо обліковий запис користувача не відповідає наведеним вище критеріям, але все ще має легітимну підставу отримати доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів з метою, яка не може бути реально вирішена користувачами, які вже мають такий доступ, стюарди уповноважені надавати винятки з наведених вище критеріїв.

&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Позбавлення доступу ==

Користувачі, яким повністю заблоковано доступ до редагування проєкту Вікімедіа, втрачають доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів у цьому проєкті.

Члени групи користувачів з автоматичним доступом, які не бажають мати ці права доступу, повинні звернутися до ca{{@}}wikimedia.org. [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Стюарди]] уповноважені припиняти доступ користувача з автоматичним доступом, якщо наявне неправильне поводження користувача з IP-адресами тимчасових облікових записів або консенсус локальної спільноти вимагає позбавлення. 

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
[[Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Other users|Інші користувачі]], яким доступ було надано вручну, можуть добровільно відмовитися від нього в будь-який час, відвідавши сторінку [[Special:Preferences|Спеціальна:Налаштування]]. Якщо користувач, якому доступ було надано вручну, зловживає доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів або якщо місцева спільнота дійшла згоди про необхідність припинення його доступу, то стюарди або місцеві адміністратори та бюрократи уповноважені припинити доступ.
&lt;/div&gt;

Запити до стюардів про припинення або зміну доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів можна розміщувати на сторінці [[:m:Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access|Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access]]. Якщо спільнота дійшла згоди щодо припинення прав доступу користувача, необхідно надати посилання на обговорення.

За потреби, можна подавати запити співробітникам відділу [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Довіри та безпеки]] через ca{{@}}wikimedia.org, і доступ користувача буде відкликано згідно з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|політикою офісних дій]]. Скарги на порушення [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|політики приватності]] буде передано на розгляд [[:m:Ombuds commission|комісії омбудів]].

Для забезпечення підзвітності зберігається журнал користувачів, які отримували доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів.

* У випадку обґрунтованої необхідності, користувачі з доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів також можуть розкривати IP-адреси у доречних місцях, що забезпечать їм можливість забезпечувати дотримання або розслідувати потенційні порушення наших [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Умов користування]], Політики приватності чи будь-яких інших політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільнот. До доречних місць для такого розкриття належать сторінки, пов'язані з [[wikidata:Q10854626#sitelinks-wikipedia|повторюваним вандалізмом]]. Якщо таке розкриття пізніше втрачає необхідність, то IP-адреси мають бути негайно прибрані шляхом приховання версій редагувань.
* Користувачі, які уже підтверджували згоду з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політикою доступу до непублічних персональних даних]], також можуть розкривати IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів, як дозволено цією політикою.
Якщо IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів необхідно розкрити у зв'язку з [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Threats of harm|погрозою неминучої фізичної шкоди]], слід негайно надіслати листа з деталями запиту на emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org, щоб його можна було оцінити на предмет можливого розкриття Фондом.

Користувачі можуть повідомляти про будь-які офіційні та неофіційні запити, які вони отримують і які не підпадають під сферу дії цієї політики, включно з запитами від правоохоронних органів, урядових установ, адвокатів чи інших третіх осіб, до юридичного відділу Фонду Вікімедіа на адресу legal{{@}}wikimedia.org.

== Мінімальні вимоги до доступу ==

Доступ можливий лише для залогінених користувачів. Щоб отримати доступ, користувачі мають відповідати вимогам до їхньої групи користувачів, які викладено нижче. Користувачам, які подають заявку на отримання і глобального і локального доступу, достатньо відповідати вимогам лише для глобального доступу. Право на розкриття IP-адреси не може бути об'єднане з правами користувачів, наданими групам користувачів, які не вказані в списку. Користувачі, які є членами груп, що не вказані в списку, можуть отримати доступ, виконавши вимоги, встановлені для [[Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Other users|інших користувачів]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Global_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Глобальний доступ ===

Членам певних глобальних груп користувачів і певних локальних груп користувачів для виконання своїх ролей потрібен доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів у всіх проєктах Вікімедіа. Вимоги до доступу залежать від групи користувачів. Користувачі, які входять до більше ніж однієї з груп, перелічених нижче, мають відповідати вимогам лише для однієї зі своїх груп користувачів. Наприклад, члени груп омбудів і підтримувачів фільтрів зловживань отримають автоматичний доступ відповідно до вимог до омбудів; такий доступ все одно буде для обох ролей.

&lt;span id=&quot;Stewards,_Ombuds,_U4C,_and_Staff&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Стюарди, омбуди, U4C і співробітники ====

Доступ автоматично надається користувачам, які є членами будь-якої з цих глобальних груп користувачів: [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|стюарди]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|омбуди]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Координаційний комітет Універсального кодексу поведінки (U4C)]] і співробітники. Стюарди, омбуди і члени U4C мають працювати з IP-адресами з дотриманням цих настанов і [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політики доступу до непублічних даних]]. Співробітники мають працювати з IP-адресами відповідного до своїх угод про нерозголошення (NDA).

&lt;span id=&quot;Global_sysops,_Global_rollbackers,_and_Abuse_filter_maintainers_and_helpers&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Глобальні адміни, глобальні відкочувачі, підтримувачі і переглядачі фільтрів зловживань ====

Користувачі, які належать до груп [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global sysops|глобальних адмінів]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global rollback|глобальних відкочувачів]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abuse filter maintainers|підтримувачів фільтра зловживань]] і [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abuse filter helpers|переглядачів фільтра зловживань]] можуть увімкнути собі доступ глобально через [[Special:GlobalPreferences]]. Ці користувачі повинні погодитися використовувати IP-адреси згідно з цими настановами, виключно для розслідування або запобігання вандалізму, зловживанням чи іншим порушенням політик Фонду Вікімедіа чи спільноти. Альтернативою для цих користувачів буде не вмикати доступ глобально; тоді глобальний доступ не буде надано, якщо тільки ці користувачі не належать також до глобальних груп користувачів з автоматичним глобальним доступом.

&lt;span id=&quot;CheckUsers_and_Oversighters&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Чек'юзери та приховувачі ====

Користувачі, які є членами локальних груп [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|чек'юзерів]] або [[m:Oversight policy|приховувачів]], можуть увімкнути собі доступ глобально через [[Special:GlobalPreferences]]. Ці користувачі мають працювати з IP-адресами з дотриманням цих настанов і [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політики доступу до непублічних даних]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Local_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Локальний доступ ===

Деяким користувачам для захисту індивідуальних «локальних» проєктів Вікімедіа необхідний доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів в цих проєктах. Вимоги для доступу залежать від локальної групи користувачів. Користувачам, які є членами більше ніж однієї групи користувачів з перелічених нижче, достатньо відповідати вимогам до однієї зі своїх груп користувачів. Наприклад, член обох локальних груп чек'юзерів і бюрократів отримає автоматичний доступ за вимогами до чек'юзерів; доступ такого користувача все одно буде для обох ролей.

&lt;span id=&quot;CheckUsers_and_Oversighters&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Чек'юзери та приховувачі ====

Локальний доступ надається автоматично користувачам, які є локальними [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|чек'юзерами]] або [[m:Oversight policy|приховувачами]]. Очікується, що ці користувачі працюватимуть з IP-адресами згідно з цією настановою і [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політикою доступу до непублічних даних]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Administrators_and_Bureaucrats&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Адміністратори та бюрократи ====

Локальні [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Administrator|адміністратори]] та [[m:Bureaucrat|бюрократи]] можуть увімкнути собі доступ через [[Special:Preferences]] у локальному проєкті і погодитися використовувати IP-адреси згідно з цими настановами, виключно для розслідування чи попередження вандалізму, зловживань та інших порушень політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільнот. Альтернативою для цих користувачів буде не вмикати доступ; тоді доступ не буде надано, якщо тільки ці користувачі не належать також до груп користувачів з автоматичним доступом.

&lt;span id=&quot;Other_users&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Інші користувачі ====

Користувачі, які не входять до вищеперелічених груп, можуть все ж потребувати доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів для [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolling|патрулювання]], розслідування [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Sock puppetry|ляльководства]] та чи інших заходів захисту проєктів Вікімедіа.

Для доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів ці користувачі повинні:
# {{anchor|point-3}}Відповідати усім таким загальним вимогам:
## Обліковий запис користувача створено не менше 6 місяців тому, а також
## З облікового запису зроблено не менше 300 редагувань у локальному проєкті.
# Подати запит на доступ до місцевих адміністраторів, бюрократів, якщо це передбачено місцевим консенсусом,&lt;ref group=Note&gt;Спільноти, які бажають змінити варіант за умовчанням з адміністраторів на бюрократів, повинні подати [[phab:maniphest/task/edit/form/139/|запит через Фабрикатор]]&lt;/ref&gt; або стюардів. Як частина цієї перевірки можуть бути висунуті додаткові вимоги, такі як:
## Мінімум 600 редагувань основного простору в місцевому проєкті,
## Продемонстровані докази попередньої роботи з патрулювання,
## Участь у виборчому процесі в спільноті, та/або
## Будь-які інші вимоги, якщо вони не нижчі за загальні вимоги.
# Увімкнути доступ через [[Special:Preferences|Спеціальна:Налаштування]] у локальному проєкті, а також
# Підтвердити згоду використовувати IP-адреси згідно з цими настановами, виключно для розслідування чи попередження вандалізму, зловживань чи інших порушень політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільноти, а також розуміти ризики та відповідальність, пов'язані з цим привілеєм.
Щоб продовжувати користуватися доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів, користувачі з цієї категорії мають здійснити принаймні одне редагування або зареєстровану дію&lt;ref group=Note&gt; Зареєстрована дія — це будь-що, що відображається на сторінці Спеціальна:Журнали&lt;/ref&gt; у локальному проєкті за 365 днів.

&lt;span id=&quot;Exceptions_to_minimum_requirements&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
===== Винятки з мінімальних вимог =====

Якщо обліковий запис користувача не відповідає наведеним вище критеріям, але все ще має легітимну підставу отримати доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів з метою, яка не може бути реально вирішена користувачами, які вже мають такий доступ, стюарди уповноважені надавати винятки з наведених вище критеріїв.

&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Позбавлення доступу ==

Користувачі, яким повністю заблоковано доступ до редагування проєкту Вікімедіа, втрачають доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів у цьому проєкті.

Члени групи користувачів з автоматичним доступом, які не бажають мати ці права доступу, повинні звернутися до ca{{@}}wikimedia.org. [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Стюарди]] уповноважені припиняти доступ користувача з автоматичним доступом, якщо наявне неправильне поводження користувача з IP-адресами тимчасових облікових записів або консенсус локальної спільноти вимагає позбавлення. 

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
[[Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Other users|Інші користувачі]], яким доступ було надано вручну, можуть добровільно відмовитися від нього в будь-який час, відвідавши сторінку [[Special:Preferences|Спеціальна:Налаштування]]. Якщо користувач, якому доступ було надано вручну, зловживає доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів або якщо місцева спільнота дійшла згоди про необхідність припинення його доступу, то стюарди або місцеві адміністратори та бюрократи уповноважені припинити доступ.
&lt;/div&gt;

Запити до стюардів про припинення або зміну доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів можна розміщувати на сторінці [[:m:Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access|Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access]]. Якщо спільнота дійшла згоди щодо припинення прав доступу користувача, необхідно надати посилання на обговорення.

За потреби, можна подавати запити співробітникам відділу [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Довіри та безпеки]] через ca{{@}}wikimedia.org, і доступ користувача буде відкликано згідно з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|політикою офісних дій]]. Скарги на порушення [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|політики приватності]] буде передано на розгляд [[:m:Ombuds commission|комісії омбудів]].

Для забезпечення підзвітності зберігається журнал користувачів, які отримували доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів.

'''Доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів''' допомагає користувачам захищати проєкти Вікімедіа. Цей доступ є окремим від доступу до [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:IP Information tool guidelines|інструменту IP-інфо]]. Для тих користувачів, які не підтверджували згоду з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політикою доступу до непублічних персональних даних]], умовою надання доступу є згода з нижчевикладеними настановами.

== {{int string|Background}} ==

Проєкти Вікімедіа є продуктом співпраці глобальної спільноти користувачів-волонтерів. Проєкти можна редагувати із входом або без входу в обліковий запис Вікімедіа. Ті, хто редагує без входу в обліковий запис Вікімедіа, роблять це з використанням тимчасового облікового запису, який не має облікових даних для входу.

== {{int string|Purpose}} ==

Фонд Вікімедіа дає певним залогіненим користувачам доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів, щоб забезпечити цим користувачам змогу застосовувати правила чи розслідувати потенційні порушення політик Фонду Вікімедіа чи політик спільнот користувачів. Доступ використовується для боротьби з вандалізмом і спамом, перевірок на ляльководіння, а також для обмеження деструктивного внеску у проєкти Вікімедіа.
{{anchor|Use and disclosure}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Use_and_disclosure_of_temporary_account_IP_addresses&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Використання та розкриття IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів ==

Доступ до IP-адрес незалогінених редакторів обмежений політикою. Цим забезпечується, що ця інформація буде використовуватися лише для боротьби зі зловживаннями у проєктах Вікімедіа. Користувачі, які мають доступ до IP-адрес, не повинні ділитися ними з тими, хто не має таких самих прав доступу, крім випадків, коли розкриття є допустимим згідно з наведеними нижче настановами. 

Сторонні суб'єкти, які можуть захотіти отримати доступ до IP-адрес, можуть зв'язуватися з користувачами, які мають на це право, щоб спробувати отримати цю інформацію. Користувачі з правами доступу до ІР-адрес повинні це усвідомлювати і попереджати про можливість підозрілих запитів на доступ.

&lt;span id=&quot;Use_of_temporary_account_IP_addresses&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Використання IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів ===

Використання IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів можливе виключно для розслідування чи правозастосування проти вандалізму, зловживань, спаму, переслідування, деструктивної поведінки та інших порушень політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільнот. Доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів має відбуватися за потреби й у відповідності з цими настановами, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Політикою приватності]], а також більш обмежувальними локальними правилами, застосовними у відповідному проєкті.

Доступ не має використовуватися для політичного контролю, здійснення тиску на редакторів чи погроз іншим редакторам у суперечках щодо вмісту. Необхідна наявність вагомої причини для перевірки тимчасового користувача. Зверніть увагу, що використання багатьох тимчасових облікових записів не забороняється, поки вони не використовуються для порушення правил (прикладом порушення є уникнення блокувань чи банів).

Ті, у кого є доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів, мають змогу визначити, з яких IP-адрес тимчасовий обліковий запис виконував у вікі Вікімедіа редагування або дії, що реєструються. Ця інформація зберігається лише протягом короткого періоду (наразі 90 днів), тому IP-адреси, які використовувалися до цього, не будуть показані. IP-адреси доступні, якщо натиснути кнопку «Показати IP» на сторінках журналу, історії, а також останніх змін. IP-адреси також доступні за допомогою інструменту Інформація про IP.

Реєструються такі дії:
* Коли користувач через налаштування дозволяє або забороняє розкриття IP-адреси для його облікового запису.
* Розкриття IP-адреси тимчасового облікового запису.
* Висвітлення тимчасових облікових записів, пов'язаних з IP-адресою.

&lt;span id=&quot;Disclosure&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Розкриття ===

Навіть якщо користувач порушує правила, по змозі уникайте розкриття особової інформації. Використовуйте імена тимчасових користувачів замість прямого розкриття IP-адрес або використовуйте інформацію на зразок «та сама мережа / інша мережа» чи подібну.

У цілях підтримання безпеки проєктів та інших користувачів, користувачам може все ж бути потрібно розкрити IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів третім сторонам. Допустиме розкриття обмежується такими обставинами:
* Користувачі з доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів можуть у приватному порядку розкривати IP-адреси іншим користувачам, які мають такі ж права доступу.
* У випадку обґрунтованої необхідності, користувачі з доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів також можуть розкривати IP-адреси у доречних місцях, що забезпечать їм можливість забезпечувати дотримання або розслідувати потенційні порушення наших [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Умов користування]], Політики приватності чи будь-яких інших політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільнот. До доречних місць для такого розкриття належать сторінки, пов'язані з [[wikidata:Q10854626#sitelinks-wikipedia|повторюваним вандалізмом]]. Якщо таке розкриття пізніше втрачає необхідність, то IP-адреси мають бути негайно прибрані шляхом приховання версій редагувань.
* Користувачі, які уже підтверджували згоду з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Політикою доступу до непублічних персональних даних]], також можуть розкривати IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів, як дозволено цією політикою.
Якщо IP-адреси тимчасових облікових записів необхідно розкрити у зв'язку з [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Threats of harm|погрозою неминучої фізичної шкоди]], слід негайно надіслати листа з деталями запиту на emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org, щоб його можна було оцінити на предмет можливого розкриття Фондом.

Користувачі можуть повідомляти про будь-які офіційні та неофіційні запити, які вони отримують і які не підпадають під сферу дії цієї політики, включно з запитами від правоохоронних органів, урядових установ, адвокатів чи інших третіх осіб, до юридичного відділу Фонду Вікімедіа на адресу legal{{@}}wikimedia.org.

== Мінімальні вимоги до доступу ==

Доступ можливий лише для залогінених користувачів. Щоб отримати доступ, користувачі мають відповідати вимогам до їхньої групи користувачів, які викладено нижче. Користувачам, які подають заявку на отримання і глобального і локального доступу, достатньо відповідати вимогам лише для глобального доступу. Право на розкриття IP-адреси не може бути об'єднане з правами користувачів, наданими групам користувачів, які не вказані в списку.

Користувачі, які не входять до вищеперелічених груп, можуть все ж потребувати доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів для [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolling|патрулювання]], розслідування [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Sock puppetry|ляльководства]] та чи інших заходів захисту проєктів Вікімедіа.

Для доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів ці користувачі повинні:
# {{anchor|point-3}}Відповідати усім таким загальним вимогам:
## Обліковий запис користувача створено не менше 6 місяців тому, а також
## З облікового запису зроблено не менше 300 редагувань у локальному проєкті.
# Подати запит на доступ до місцевих адміністраторів, бюрократів, якщо це передбачено місцевим консенсусом,&lt;ref group=Note&gt;Спільноти, які бажають змінити варіант за умовчанням з адміністраторів на бюрократів, повинні подати [[phab:maniphest/task/edit/form/139/|запит через Фабрикатор]]&lt;/ref&gt; або стюардів. Як частина цієї перевірки можуть бути висунуті додаткові вимоги, такі як:
## Мінімум 600 редагувань основного простору в місцевому проєкті,
## Продемонстровані докази попередньої роботи з патрулювання,
## Участь у виборчому процесі в спільноті, та/або
## Будь-які інші вимоги, якщо вони не нижчі за загальні вимоги.
# Увімкнути доступ через [[Special:Preferences|Спеціальна:Налаштування]] у локальному проєкті, а також
# Підтвердити згоду використовувати IP-адреси згідно з цими настановами, виключно для розслідування чи попередження вандалізму, зловживань чи інших порушень політик Фонду Вікімедіа або спільноти, а також розуміти ризики та відповідальність, пов'язані з цим привілеєм.
Щоб продовжувати користуватися доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів, користувачі з цієї категорії мають здійснити принаймні одне редагування або зареєстровану дію&lt;ref group=Note&gt; Зареєстрована дія — це будь-що, що відображається на сторінці Спеціальна:Журнали&lt;/ref&gt; у локальному проєкті за 365 днів.

&lt;span id=&quot;Exceptions_to_minimum_requirements&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
===== Винятки з мінімальних вимог =====

Якщо обліковий запис користувача не відповідає наведеним вище критеріям, але все ще має легітимну підставу отримати доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів з метою, яка не може бути реально вирішена користувачами, які вже мають такий доступ, стюарди уповноважені надавати винятки з наведених вище критеріїв.

&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Позбавлення доступу ==

Користувачі, яким повністю заблоковано доступ до редагування проєкту Вікімедіа, втрачають доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів у цьому проєкті.

Члени групи користувачів з автоматичним доступом, які не бажають мати ці права доступу, повинні звернутися до ca{{@}}wikimedia.org. [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Стюарди]] уповноважені припиняти доступ користувача з автоматичним доступом, якщо наявне неправильне поводження користувача з IP-адресами тимчасових облікових записів або консенсус локальної спільноти вимагає позбавлення. 

[[Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Other users|Інші користувачі]], яким доступ було надано вручну, можуть добровільно відмовитися від нього в будь-який час, відвідавши сторінку [[Special:Preferences|Спеціальна:Налаштування]]. Якщо користувач, якому доступ було надано вручну, зловживає доступом до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів або якщо місцева спільнота дійшла згоди про необхідність припинення його доступу, то користувачі, уповноважені надавати такий доступ, також уповноважені припиняти доступ.

Запити до стюардів про припинення або зміну доступу до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів можна розміщувати на сторінці [[:m:Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access|Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access]]. Якщо спільнота дійшла згоди щодо припинення прав доступу користувача, необхідно надати посилання на обговорення.

За потреби, можна подавати запити співробітникам відділу [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Довіри та безпеки]] через ca{{@}}wikimedia.org, і доступ користувача буде відкликано згідно з [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|політикою офісних дій]]. Скарги на порушення [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|політики приватності]] буде передано на розгляд [[:m:Ombuds commission|комісії омбудів]].

Для забезпечення підзвітності зберігається журнал користувачів, які отримували доступ до IP-адрес тимчасових облікових записів.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Terms of Use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.
&lt;/div&gt;

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

اللغه العربيه المصريه

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It should not be taken as professional advice.

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''
&lt;/div&gt;

::* Soliciting personally identifiable information for the purposes of harassment, exploitation, or violation of privacy, or for any promotional or commercial purpose not explicitly approved by the Wikimedia Foundation; and
::* Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 years, or under the age of majority where you are if higher than 18 years, for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Xidmətlərimiz==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Müəyyən fəaliyyətlərdən çəkinmə==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law.

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

''Уявіце сабе свет, у якім кожны чалавек валодае вольным доступам да ўсіх назапашаным чалавецтвам ведаў. Мы ствараем такі свет.'' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Фармулёўка нашых ідэалаў]]

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Сардэчна запрашаем у Вікімедыя! Фонд Вікімедыя (''Wikimedia Foundation, Inc'') Мы з'яўляемся некамерцыйнай дабрачыннай арганізацыяй, [[:WMF:Місія|місіяй]] якой з'яўляецца забеспячэнне ўсіх зацікаўленых людзей ва ўсім свеце прыняць удзел у развіцці збору і ўтрымання кантэнту са [[w:en:Free content|свабоднай ліцэнзіяй]] ці ў грамадскім набытку, і для распаўсюджвання яго эфектыўна і ў глабальным маштабе, і гэта цалкам бясплатна.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Для падтрымкі актыўнай і энергічнай супольнасці, мы прадстаўляем базавую інфраструктуру і арганізацыйныя асновы для развіцця шматмоўных вікі [[:wmf:Our projects|Праекты]] і іншых напрамкаў дзейнасці, якія служаць гэтай місіі. Мы імкнемся да адукацыйнага і інфармацыйнага зместа праекта, даступнага ў сетцы бясплатна, які можа быць захаваны на неабмежаваны тэрмін.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Мы рады вітаць Вас, удзельнік, як чытача, рэдактара, аўтара ці ўкладальніка ў праектах Вікімедыя і заклікаем вас далучыцца да супольнасці Вікімедыя. Перш чым прыняць удзел, аднак, калі ласка, прачытайце і прыміце наступныя палажэнні і ўмовы (&quot;Пагадненне&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Гэта пагадненне з'яўляецца інфармаваннем Вас аб прапанаваных намі паслугах для Wikimedia Foundation, для нашых адносін з вамі, як карыстальнікам, а таксама правах і абавязках, якімі мы кіруемся. Мы хочам, каб вы ведалі, што мы падтрымліваем неверагодны спектр адукацыйнага і інфармацыйнага зместу, які дасягаецца і ажыццяўляецца на аснове супрацоўніцтва такіх карыстальнікаў, як вы. У прынцыпе мы не супрацоўнічаем, не кантралюем і выдаляем кантэнт (за рэдкім выключэннем, звязаным з нашай палітыкай, напрыклад, гэтым пагадненнем або юрыдычнай адпаведнасцю [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]] апавяшчэння). Гэта азначае, што рэдактарскі кантроль у вашых руках і руках вашых калегаў карыстальнікаў, якія ствараюць і кіруюць кантэнтам. Мы проста змяшчаем гэта ўтрыманне ў Інтэрнэце.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Супольнасць - сетка карыстальнікаў, якія ўвесь час ствараюць і выкарыстоўваюць розныя сайты або праекты - з'яўляюцца асноўным сродкам для дасягнення мэтаў місіі. Супольнасць спрыяе і дапамагае кіраваць нашымі сайтамі. Супольнасць імкнецца да адказнай функцыі для стварэння і ажыццяўлення палітыкі па праектах.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Запрашаем Вас далучыцца ў якасці памочніка, рэдактара ці аўтара, але вы павінны выконваць прынцыпы прыярытэту для кожнага з незалежных праектаў. Найбуйнейшым з іх з'яўляецца Вікіпедыя, але мы падтрымліваем і іншыя праекты, кожны з рознымі мэтамі і метадамі працы. У кожнага праекта ёсць каманда ўкладчыкаў, рэдактараў і пісьменнікаў, якія працуюць разам, каб ствараць і кіраваць іх зместам. Запрашаем Вас далучыцца да гэтых камандаў і супрацоўнічаць з імі для паляпшэння праекта. Так як мы імкнемся да стварэння кантэнту, даступнага для грамадскасці, мы імкнемся, каб усё змесціва было даступным пад вольнай ліцэнзіяй ці ў грамадскім здабытку.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Калі ласка памятайце, што вы нясеце адказнасць за легальнасць за ўсе ўнёскі рэдагаванні і паўпорнае выакрыстанне кантэнту Вікімедыа ў адпаведнасці з законамі Злучаных Штатаў Амерыкі і іншых прымальных законаў (якія могуць уключаць вашыя мясцовыя законы адносна аўтарскага права). Гэта значыць што вы выкладваеце кантэнт з асцярожнасцю.  У святле гэтай адказнасці мы маем некаторыя правілы аносна таго, што вы не можаце публікаваць, большасць з якіх ужываюцца дзеля вашай бяспекі ці дзеля абароны іншых карыстальнікаў нараўне з вамі. Калі ласка, памятайце, што інфармацыя змяшчаецца толькі ў агульных інфармацыйных мэтах, калі вам важна экспертная парада ў пэўным пытанні (адносна медыцыны, законаў, ці фінансавых пытанняў), вам варта шукаць дапамогі кваліфікаваных прафесіяналаў.  Мы таксама дадаем іншыя важныя паведамленні і папярэджанні, калі ласка прачытайце гэтыя Ўмовы Выкарыстання цалкам.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Для яснасці, [[wmf::Chapters/en|мясцовыя аддзяленні «Вікімедыі»]] і аб’яднанні, якія могуць падзяляць аднолькавае прызначэнне — гэта праўна незалежныя і асобныя ад Фундацыі «Вікімедыя» арганізацыі, якія не нясуць адказнасці за дзейнасць вэб-сайта або яго змест.

Наша роля заключаецца ў анлайн-захоўванні некаторых з самых вялікіх з супольна-рэдагуемых праектаў ў свеце, якія вы можаце знайсці  па спасылцы http://www.wikimedia.org. Тым не менш, мы робім толькі паслугі хостынгу, такія як падтрыманне інфраструктуры і арганізацыйнай структуры, што дазваляе нашым карыстальнікам ствараць праекты Вікімедыя, уносіць свой ​​уклад і рэдагаваць змесціва самастойна. З-за нашай унікальнай ролі ёсць некалькі рэчаў, якія вы павінны ведаць, з улікам нашых адносін з вамі, праектамі і іншымі карыстальнікамі:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''У нас адсутнічае рэдактарская роля:''' Увесь змест, які мы размяшчаем, падаюць такія ўдзельніцы(-кі), як і Вы, бо праекты «Вікімедыі» рэдагуюцца ў супрацы. Гэта значыць, што мы агулам не адсочваем і не рэдагуем змест старонак праекта, і не нясем адказнасці за гэты змест. Падобным чынам мы не заахвочваем меркаванні, выказаныя праз нашыя паслугі, і не прадстаўляем ды не ручаемся за праўдзівасць, дакладнасць або надзейнасць пададзенага супольнасцю зместу. Замест гэтага, мы проста даем доступ да зместу, які Вашыя саўдзельнікі ўнеслі і адрэдагавалі.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Вы адказваеце за Вашы ўласныя ўчынкі:''' Вы праўна адказныя за Вашыя рэдагаванні і ўклад у праекты «Вікімедыі», таму дзеля уласнай абароны Вам варта праяўляць асцярожнасць і пазбягаць унёску зместу, які можа прывесці да крымінальнай або грамадзянскай адказнасці паводле адпаведных законаў. Для яснасці, адпаведны закон уключае прынамсі законы Злучаных Штатаў Амерыкі. Мы папярэджваем рэдактараў і дапісчыкаў, што ўлады могуць імкнуцца прымяніць да Вас законы іншай краіны, уключна з законамі па месцы Вашага пражывання або прагляду ці рэдагавання зместу. Фонд «Вікімедыя» агулам не можа прапанаваць абарону, паруку, недатыкальнасць або пакрыццё.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition.

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Terms of Use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with the rare exception of policies like these Terms of Use or legal compliance for [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]] notices).  This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.  We merely host this content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Ein Gwasanaethau==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Wir nehmen keine redaktionelle Rolle wahr:''' Weil die Wikimedia-Projekte gemeinschaftlich bearbeitet werden, werden sämtliche bereitgehaltenen Inhalte von Benutzern wie Ihnen selbst eingebracht; uns kommt dabei keine redaktionelle Rolle zu. Das bedeutet, dass wir Projektinhalte grundsätzlich nicht überwachen oder bearbeiten und keinerlei Verantwortung für diese übernehmen. Entsprechend machen wir uns auch keine über unsere Dienste geäußerten Meinungen zu eigen. Weder garantieren noch versprechen wir bezüglich irgendwelcher von Benutzern eingebrachter Inhalte, dass diese wahrheitsgemäß, richtig oder verlässlich wären. Vielmehr sorgen wir schlicht für den Zugang zu den Inhalten, die andere Benutzer beigetragen und bearbeitet haben.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Eine Ausnahme besteht allein, wenn die Projektversion oder die Funktion eine andere Lizenz fordert. In diesem Fall stimmen Sie zu, jeden von Ihnen beigetragenen Text dieser bestimmten Lizenz zu unterstellen. Zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen ist es so beispielsweise in der englischsprachigen Version von Wikinews erforderlich, dass alle Textinhalte unter der Lizenz Creative Commons Namensnennung 2.5 US-amerikanisch (nicht portiert) (CC-BY 2.5) eingestellt werden, wobei es keiner Doppellizenzierung zusammen mit der GFDL bedarf.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

''Highlighted for emphasis''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

'''''Stellen Sie sich eine Welt vor, in der jeder einzelne Mensch freien Anteil an der Gesamtheit des Wissens hat. Das ist unser Ziel.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Unsere Vision]]

Willkommen bei [[:w:de:Wikimedia|Wikimedia]]! Die ''Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.'' („wir“, „uns“ oder „Foundation“) ist eine nichtkommerzielle wohltätige Organisation mit Hauptsitz in San Francisco, Kalifornien, Vereinigte Staaten, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|deren Leitbild]] es ist, Menschen auf der ganzen Welt die Möglichkeit zu geben und sie dazu zu motivieren, Inhalte zusammenzustellen und zu entwickeln, die [[:de:Freie Inhalte|unter einer freien Lizenz]] stehen oder gemeinfrei sind, und diese kostenlos, effektiv und weltweit zu verbreiten.

Um unsere lebendige Gemeinschaft zu unterstützen, stellen wir die grundlegende Infrastruktur und den organisatorischen Rahmen für die Entwicklung der mehrsprachigen Wiki-Projekte und ihrer Versionen (wie auf unserer [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Seite zu Wikimedia-Projekten]] näher beschrieben; hier als „Projekte“ bezeichnet) sowie für andere Vorhaben, die diesem Ziel dienlich sind, zur Verfügung. Unser Ziel ist es, die Informationen und Bildungsinhalte, die in unseren Projekten verfügbar sind, im Internet dauerhaft unentgeltlich bereitzustellen.

Wir heißen Sie („Sie“ oder der „Benutzer“) als Leser, Bearbeiter, Autor oder Mitarbeiter der Wikimedia-Projekte willkommen und ermutigen Sie, sich der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft anzuschließen. Zuvor möchten wir Sie allerdings bitten, die folgenden Nutzungsbedingungen („Nutzungsbedingungen“) zu lesen und ihnen zuzustimmen.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Diese Nutzungsbedingungen informieren Sie über die öffentlichen Leistungen der Wikimedia Foundation, unsere Beziehung zu Ihnen als Nutzer und über die Rechte und Pflichten, an denen wir uns gemeinsam orientieren. Wir stellen eine enorme Menge an Bildungs- und Informationsinhalten bereit, die alle von Benutzern wie Ihnen beigetragen worden sind. Wir selbst beteiligen uns grundsätzlich nicht an der Erstellung, Überwachung oder Löschung von Inhalten (mit der seltenen Ausnahme von Richtlinien wie diesen Nutzungsbedingungen oder von Änderungen, die erforderlich sind, um die Einhaltung gesetzlicher Bestimmungen zu gewährleisten oder bei dringenden Androhungen ernsthafter Schäden). Dies bedeutet, dass die inhaltliche Kontrolle in Ihren Händen und denen der anderen Benutzer liegt, die Inhalte schaffen und verwalten.

Die Gemeinschaft – das Netzwerk von Benutzern, die die Projekte und/oder Websites (hier als „Projekt-Websites“ bezeichnet) benutzen und kontinuierlich an deren Aufbau arbeiten – ist das wichtigste Instrument, über das unsere Ziele erreicht werden. Die Gemeinschaft leistet Beiträge zu unseren Websites und unterstützt uns dabei, unsere Projekte und Projekt-Websites zu verwalten. Sie nimmt auch die wichtige Aufgabe wahr, Regeln für die jeweiligen Projektversionen (zum Beispiel die verschiedenen Sprachversionen des Wikipedia-Projekts oder das mehrsprachige Wikimedia Commons) zu schaffen und durchzusetzen.

Wir laden Sie, den Benutzer, ein, sich als Beitragender, Bearbeiter oder Autor einzubringen. Dabei sollten Sie allerdings die Regeln beachten, die für jede der unabhängigen Projektversionen gelten, darunter der [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|universelle Verhaltenskodex]] (UCoC), der für alle Projektversionen gilt. Unser größtes Projekt ist Wikipedia, aber wir unterhalten auch andere Projekte mit jeweils eigenen Zielsetzungen und Arbeitsweisen. In jeder dieser Projektversionen arbeitet eine Gruppe von Beitragenden, Bearbeitern und Autoren zusammen, um die Inhalte der jeweiligen Projektversion zu erstellen und zu verwalten. Wir laden Sie ein, sich diesen Gruppen anzuschließen und mit ihnen an der Verbesserung der Projekte zu arbeiten. Da wir uns dem Ziel verschrieben haben, Inhalte für die Öffentlichkeit frei verfügbar zu machen, werden Inhalte, die Sie beitragen, unter einer freien Lizenz stehen oder gemeinfrei sein.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass Sie für Ihre sämtlichen Beiträge, Bearbeitungen und Weiternutzungshandlungen nach dem Recht der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika sowie anderen anwendbaren Rechtsordnungen (darunter gegebenenfalls derjenigen des Landes, in dem Sie leben oder im dem sich der Gegenstand Ihrer Beiträge befindet) verantwortlich sind. Es ist aus diesem Grund wichtig, dass Sie beim Einstellen, Verändern oder Weiternutzen von Inhalten vorsichtig vorgehen. In Anbetracht dieser Verantwortung gibt es einige Regeln dazu, was Sie nicht tun dürfen; die meisten davon dienen entweder Ihrem eigenen Schutz oder dem Schutz anderer Benutzer. Bitte denken Sie daran, dass die Inhalte, die wir bereitstellen, lediglich der allgemeinen Information dienen; falls Sie in bestimmten Fragen den Rat von Experten benötigen (etwa in medizinischen, rechtlichen oder finanziellen Angelegenheiten), sollten Sie daher die Hilfe geeigneter Fachleute in Anspruch nehmen. Da diese Nutzungsbedingungen darüber hinaus noch weitere wichtige Hinweise und Haftungsausschlüsse beinhalten, bitten wir Sie darum, sie vollständig zu lesen.

Zur Klarstellung sei darauf hingewiesen, dass andere Organisationen wie [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|lokale Wikimedia-Chapter]] und Vereine, die mitunter dieselben Ziele verfolgen, dennoch rechtlich unabhängig und verschieden von der Wikimedia Foundation sind. Sofern nicht anders von der Foundation als autorisierter Partei auf einer entsprechenden Projekt-Website angegeben, tragen diese anderen Organisationen keine Verantwortung für die Abläufe oder Inhalte der Projekt-Website.

== 1. Unsere Leistungen ==

Die Wikimedia Foundation verschreibt sich dem Ziel, den Ausbau, die Entwicklung sowie die Verbreitung freier Inhalte in vielerlei Sprachen zu fördern und den vollständigen Inhalt dieser Wiki-basierten Projekte der Öffentlichkeit kostenfrei zur Verfügung zu stellen. Unsere Rolle besteht dabei darin, einige der größten gemeinschaftlich geschaffenen Nachschlagewerke der Welt bereitzustellen; die einzelnen Projekte [//www.wikimedia.org finden sich hier]. Allerdings fungieren wir nur als Bereitstellungsdienstleister und unterhalten die Infrastruktur und den organisatorischen Rahmen. Diese Infrastruktur und der Rahmen ermöglichen unseren Nutzern, die Projekte aufzubauen, indem sie selbst neue Inhalte beitragen und bestehende bearbeiten. Sie ermöglichen unseren Benutzern auch die Weiterverwendung dieser Inhalte. Die von uns unterhaltene Infrastruktur umfasst eine spezielle technologische Infrastruktur, die es Benutzern ermöglicht, programmgesteuert mit Inhalten in Projekten (über die „Programmierschnittstelle“ oder „API“) zu interagieren und diese weiterzuverwenden, sowie mobile Anwendungen.

Wie im weiteren Verlauf der Nutzungsbedingungen verwendet, bestehen unsere Dienste aus: [//www.wikimedia.org den Projekt-Websites, die wir betreiben], der technischen Infrastruktur, die wir warten, und allen technischen Räumen, die wir für die Wartung und Verbesserung unserer Projekte bereitstellen.

Aufgrund unserer besonderen Rolle gibt es einige Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, wenn es um unsere Beziehung zu Ihnen, den Projekten und anderen Benutzern geht:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Wir nehmen keine redaktionelle Rolle wahr:''' Weil die Projekte gemeinschaftlich bearbeitet werden, wird die überwiegende Mehrheit der bereitgehaltenen Inhalte von Benutzern eingebracht; uns kommt dabei keine redaktionelle Rolle zu. Das bedeutet, dass wir Projektinhalte grundsätzlich nicht überwachen oder bearbeiten und keinerlei Verantwortung für diese übernehmen. Entsprechend machen wir uns auch keine über unsere Dienste geäußerten Meinungen zu eigen, sofern wir nicht etwas anderes angegeben haben. Weder garantieren noch versprechen wir bezüglich irgendwelcher von Benutzern eingebrachter Inhalte in den Projekten, dass diese wahrheitsgemäß, richtig oder verlässlich wären.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Sie sind für Ihre Handlungen selbst verantwortlich:''' Sie sind rechtlich für Ihre Bearbeitungen und Beiträge in den Projekten, Ihre Weiterverwendung von Inhalten in den Projekten, Ihre Nutzung der APIs und Ihre Nutzung unserer Dienste im Allgemeinen verantwortlich. Zu Ihrem eigenen Schutz ist es ratsam, Vorsicht walten zu lassen und Aktionen zu vermeiden, die in einer der anwendbaren Rechtsordnungen straf- oder zivilrechtliche Folgen nach sich ziehen können. Zu den anwendbaren Rechtsordnungen zählt mindestens das Recht der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und das Recht des Staates Kalifornien. Für andere Länder wird dies im Einzelfall festgelegt. Wenn wir auch mit entsprechenden Maßnahmen mitunter nicht einverstanden sein mögen, warnen wir Benutzer – insbesondere Autoren und Beitragende – dass Behörden aus anderen Ländern als den USA möglicherweise versuchen werden, Rechtsnormen anderer Staaten auf deine Handlungen anzuwenden, zum Beispiel die Gesetze, die an Ihrem Wohnort oder dem Ort, an dem Sie Inhalte betrachten oder bearbeiten, gelten. Wir können grundsätzlich weder Schutz noch Garantien, Immunität oder Entschädigungsleistungen gegen die Anwendung solcher Rechtsordnungen gewähren.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Es kann sein, dass Sie bestimmte Materialien als anstößig oder fehlerhaft empfinden:''' Da wir eine große Bandbreite von Inhalten bereitstellen, die durch andere Benutzer erstellt oder zusammengestellt werden, kann es vorkommen, dass Sie auf Material stoßen, das Sie als verletzend, fehlerhaft, irreführend, falsch beschrieben oder in anderer Weise als anstößig empfinden. Aus diesem Grund bitten wir Sie, bei der Inanspruchnahme unserer Dienste von Ihrem Menschenverstand und Ihrem Urteilsvermögen Gebrauch zu machen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Die Inhalte unserer Projekte dienen nur der allgemeinen Information:''' Auch wenn unsere Projekte eine große Menge an Informationen bereithalten, die sich auf professionelle Themen beziehen, unter anderem auf medizinische, rechtliche oder finanzielle Angelegenheiten, werden diese Inhalte nur zum Zwecke der allgemeinen Information dargestellt. Sie sollten nicht als fachkundiger Rat aufgefasst werden. Wir bitten Sie, unabhängige professionelle Beratung von Personen einzuholen, die auf dem betreffenden Gebiet ausgewiesen oder qualifiziert sind, statt auf Basis von Informationen, Meinungen oder Ratschlägen zu handeln, die von einer der Projekt-Websites stammen.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

== 4. Unterlassen bestimmter Handlungen ==

Die von der Wiki­media Foun­dation unter­hal­tenen Pro­jekte existieren nur auf­grund einer dyna­mi­schen Gemein­schaft aus Be­nut­zern wie Ihnen, die zusam­men­arbeiten, um In­halte zu ver­fas­sen, zu be­ar­bei­ten und zu be­treuen. Wir be­grüßen Ihre Mit­wir­kung an dieser Gemein­schaft. Wir er­mu­ti­gen Sie dazu, einen respekt­vollen und höf­li­chen Um­gang mit ande­ren in der Ge­mein­schaft zu pfle­gen, in guter Ab­sicht zu han­deln und Be­ar­bei­tun­gen und Bei­trä­ge ein­zu­bringen, die den Zielen des gemein­samen Projektes dienlich sind. Wir bitten alle Benutzer, den [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|universellen Verhaltenskodex]] („UCoC“) zu lesen und zu befolgen, der Anforderungen für die kollegiale und höfliche Zusammenarbeit in allen von uns bereitgestellten Projekten festlegt.

Bestimmte Handlungen, ob sie nun gemäß anwendbarem Recht legal oder illegal sind, können für andere Benutzer schädlich sein und gegen unsere Regeln verstoßen, und einige Handlungen können zudem rechtliche Folgen für Sie haben. Aus diesem Grund ist es zu Ihrem eigenen Schutz und zum Schutz anderer Benutzer nicht gestattet, derartige Handlungen in unseren Projekten oder mit deren Nutzung vorzunehmen. Zu diesen Handlungen gehören:

:'''Belästigung und Beleidigung anderer'''
::* Drohungen, Stalking, Spam, Vandalismus oder Belästigung, wie im UCoC beschrieben;
::* Senden von Kettenbriefen, Junk-E-Mails oder Spam an andere Benutzer;
::* Veröffentlichen oder Modifizieren von Inhalten mit der Absicht, anderen ernsthaft zu schaden, etwa durch absichtliche Anstiftung zur Selbstverletzung oder durch absichtliche Auslösung von Epilepsie.
:'''Verletzung der Privatsphäre anderer'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Verletzung des nach dem Recht der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika oder anderen anwendbaren Rechtsordnungen (darunter gegebenenfalls derjenigen des Landes, in dem Sie leben oder Inhalte betrachten bzw. bearbeiten) bestehenden Rechts auf Privatsphäre anderer;
::* Anforderung personenbezogener Informationen zum Zwecke der Belästigung, Ausbeutung, Verletzung der Privatsphäre oder zu jeglichem werblichen oder kommerziellen Zweck, der nicht ausdrücklich von der Wikimedia Foundation genehmigt wurde;
::* Anforderung personenbezogener Informationen von jemandem, der jünger als 18 Jahre ist oder der unter dem Alter der Volljährigkeit in Ihrem Aufenthaltsland liegt, wenn dieses höher als 18 Jahre ist, zu einem illegalen Zweck oder unter Verletzung eines geltenden Gesetzes, das Gesundheit oder Wohlergehen von Minderjährigen sicherstellen soll.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Falsche Angaben, Vorspiegelung einer fremden Identität oder Begehung von Betrug'''
::* Absichtliches oder bewusstes Einstellen von verleumderischen oder diffamierenden Inhalten gemäß den Gesetzen der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika;
::* Veröffentlichung oder Modifizierung von Inhalten mit der Absicht, andere zu täuschen oder irrezuführen;
::* der Versuch, den Anschein zu erwecken, ein anderer Benutzer oder eine andere Person zu sein; Ihre Verbindung mit irgendeiner Person oder Einrichtung falsch wiederzugeben; Ihre Zugehörigkeit zu einer natürlichen oder juristischen Person zu verbergen, wenn die Offenlegung durch diese Bedingungen oder lokale Projektrichtlinien erforderlich ist; oder den Namen oder Benutzernamen einer anderen Person in der Absicht zu verwenden, andere damit zu täuschen; 
::* Begehung von Betrug.
:'''Verletzung geistiger Eigentumsrechte'''
::* Verletzung von Urheberrechten, Markenrechten, Patenten oder anderen nach dem geltendem Recht bestehenden Schutzrechten.
:'''Missbrauch unserer Dienste zu anderen illegalen Zwecken'''
::* Einstellen von Kinderpornografie oder von anderen Inhalten, die gegen geltendes Recht bezüglich Kinderpornografie verstoßen, oder von Material über sexuellen Missbrauch von Kindern; oder die Ermutigung, Förderung oder Befürwortung anderer, solches Material zu erstellen oder zu teilen; 
::* Einstellen oder Austausch von obszönem Material, das unter geltendem Recht rechtswidrig ist; 
::* Nutzung der Dienste in einer Weise, die nicht mit geltendem Recht vereinbar ist.
:'''Störender und rechtswidriger Missbrauch von Einrichtungen'''
::* Einstellen oder Verbreiten von Inhalten, die Viren, Schadsoftware, Würmer, Trojanische Pferde, böswilligen Code oder etwas anderes, das unsere technische Infrastruktur, unser System oder die technische Infrastruktur oder das System anderer Benutzer beschädigen könnte;
::* missbräuchliche, die Dienste störende, gegen akzeptable Nutzungsrichtlinien verstoßende oder von der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft nicht gestattete automatisierte Nutzung der Projekt-Websites;
::* Störung der Dienste durch eine unzumutbare Belastung einer API, Projekt-Website oder der mit einer bestimmten Projekt-Website verbundenen Netzwerke und Server;
::* Störung der Dienste durch das Überfluten einer der Projekt-Websites mit Kommunikation oder anderem Traffic, der keine ernsthafte Absicht erkennen lässt, die Projekt-Website zu ihrem erklärten Zweck zu nutzen;
::* wissentlicher Zugriff auf sowie Veränderung oder Benutzung von nichtöffentlichen Bereichen unserer Computersysteme ohne vorherige Erlaubnis;
::* Sondieren, Scannen oder Testen der Anfälligkeit eines unserer technischen Systeme oder Netzwerke, sofern nicht sämtliche nachfolgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:
:::* Die entsprechenden Handlungen missbrauchen oder stören unsere technischen Systeme oder Netzwerke nicht in ungebührlicher Weise;
:::* die entsprechenden Handlungen dienen nicht dem persönlichen Vorteil (abgesehen von der Anerkennung für Ihre Arbeit);
:::* Sie teilen den relevanten Entwicklern sämtliche Schwachstellen mit (oder beheben sie selbst); und
:::* Sie führen derartige Handlungen nicht in böswilliger oder destruktiver Absicht durch.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Bezahlte Beiträge ohne Offenlegung'''

::* Sie müssen jeden einzelnen Arbeitgeber, Kunden, beabsichtigten Begünstigten und Ihre Zugehörigkeit in Bezug auf alle Beiträge, für die Sie eine Vergütung erhalten oder erwarten, offenlegen. Sie müssen diese Offenlegung auf mindestens eine der folgenden Arten vornehmen:
:::* eine Erklärung auf Ihrer Benutzerseite,
:::* eine Erklärung auf der Diskussionsseite, die bezahlte Beiträge begleitet, oder
:::* eine Erklärung in der Bearbeitungszusammenfassung, die bezahlte Beiträge begleitet.
::* Zusätzlich müssen Sie, wenn Sie außerhalb der Projekte öffentlich Bearbeitungsdienste für Wikipedia im Austausch gegen jegliche Kompensation bewerben, alle Wikipedia-Konten, die Sie für diesen Dienst genutzt haben oder nutzen werden, in diesem öffentlichen Beitrag beim Drittanbieter offenlegen.
::* Durch anwendbares Recht oder projektspezifische Richtlinien und Richtlinien und Leitlinien der Stiftung wie jene, die Interessenkonflikte regeln, können bezahlte Beiträge weiter eingeschränkt werden oder ausführlichere Offenlegungen erforderlich sein. Beispielsweise stellen Verletzungen der Wikimedia-Marken (nachfolgend in Abschnitt 6 definiert) zum Bewerben von Diensten für bezahltes Schreiben, die Entfernung der Offenlegung zuvor angemessen offengelegter bezahlter Bearbeitungen oder unangemeldetes bezahltes Schreiben in einer Form, die eine angemessene Offenlegung praktisch unmöglich macht, eine Verletzung dieses Abschnitts dar.
::* Die Community eines Wikimedia-Projekts kann eine alternative Richtlinie zur Offenlegung bezahlter Beiträge verabschieden, die diesen Abschnitt ergänzen oder ersetzen kann. Wenn ein Projekt eine alternative Offenlegungsrichtlinie verabschiedet, können Sie statt der in diesem Abschnitt enthaltenen Anforderungen (unter dem Titel „Bezahlte Beiträge ohne Offenlegung“) jene Richtlinie befolgen, wenn Sie zu dem Projekt beitragen.

:: Für weitere Informationen lesen Sie bitte unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|häufig gestellten Fragen zur Offenlegung bezahlter Beiträge]].


Die nicht offengelegte Bearbeitung durch Autoren, die eine Gegenleistung erhalten, setzt freiwillige Autoren, [[:de:Wikipedia:Interessenkonflikt|die Verstöße gegen Community-Richtlinien untersuchen und die Richtlinien durchsetzen]], unangemessenem Druck aus. Daher erklären Sie sich im Falle von Verstößen gegen diesen Abschnitt im Zusammenhang mit nicht offengelegtem bezahlten Schreiben damit einverstanden, sich verbindlich dem „Med-Arb“ (einer „Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen“) zu unterwerfen, wie in Abschnitt 14 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen beschrieben.

Wir behalten uns vor, die Bestimmungen in Abschnitt 4 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen nach eigenem Ermessen durchzusetzen. Sofern erforderlich, kann die Durchsetzung dieser Bedingungen Aktionen beinhalten, die nicht in der [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Richtlinie zu Office Actions]] der Wikimedia-Stiftung aufgeführt sind. Wenn die Durchsetzung unter neuen Umständen erforderlich ist, werden wir uns bemühen, innerhalb von höchstens einem (1) Jahr die Richtlinie zu Office Actions zu aktualisieren, um die neue Art von Aktionen aufzunehmen.

Auch wenn Ihnen hinsichtlich der Weiternutzung von Inhalten auf den Projekt-Websites beträchtliche Freiheiten gewährt werden, ist es wichtig, dass wir als Wikimedia Foundation unsere Markenrechte schützen, um dadurch unsere Benutzer vor Nachahmern zu schützen, die betrügerische Absichten verfolgen. Aus diesem Grund möchten wir Sie bitten, unsere Markenrechte zu respektieren. Sämtliche Marken der Wikimedia Foundation sind Eigentum der Wikimedia Foundation und jegliche Nutzung unserer Handelsnamen, Marken, Dienstleistungsmarken, Logos oder Domain-Namen muss im Einklang mit diesen Nutzungsbedingungen sowie mit unserer [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Markenrichtlinie]] erfolgen.

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Lizenzierung von Inhalten ==

Um die Vergrößerung freien Wissens und freier Kultur als Gemeingüter zu befördern, müssen alle Benutzer, die zu den Projekten oder Projekt-Websites beitragen, der Allgemeinheit weitreichende Befugnisse zur Weiterverbreitung und Weiternutzung ihrer Beiträge einräumen, geknüpft daran, dass bei einer solchen Nutzung die Namensnennungsrechte gewahrt und bei der Weiternutzung und Weiterverbreitung abgeleiteter Werke wieder dieselben Freiheiten eingeräumt werden. Um an unserem Ziel festzuhalten, freie Informationen einem möglichst breiten Publikum zur Verfügung zu stellen, verlangen wir, dass alle übermittelten Inhalte, falls erforderlich, lizenziert werden, um sie für alle, die darauf zugreifen können, frei weiternutzbar zu machen.

Sie stimmen folgenden Lizenzbedingungen zu:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Texte, an denen Sie das Urheberrecht [„copyright“] halten:''' Wenn Sie einen Text übermitteln, an dem Sie das Urheberrecht [„copyright“] halten, dann stimmen Sie zu, ihn unter der
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative-Commons-Lizenz Namensnennung – Weitergabe unter gleichen Bedingungen 4.0 International] („CC BY-SA 4.0“) sowie der
* [//www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.de.html GNU-Lizenz für freie Dokumentation] („GFDL“) (ohne Versionsangabe und ohne unveränderbare Teile, Titelseiten- oder Rückseitentexte)
zu lizenzieren.

Weiternutzer können sich nach einer der Lizenzen oder beiden richten.&lt;br /&gt;
Eine Ausnahme besteht allein, wenn die Projektversion oder die Funktion eine andere Lizenz fordert. In diesem Fall stimmen Sie zu, jeden von Ihnen beigetragenen Text der bestimmten Lizenz zu unterstellen, die von der Projektversion oder der Funktion vorgeschrieben wird.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Lizenzen eine kommerzielle Nutzung Ihrer Beiträge erlauben, sofern bei der jeweiligen Nutzung die Bedingungen der entsprechenden Lizenzen eingehalten werden. Wenn Sie Sui-generis-Datenbankrechte besitzen, die durch CC BY-SA 4.0 abgedeckt sind, verzichten Sie auf diese Rechte. Dies bedeutet beispielsweise, dass Fakten, die Sie zu den Projekten beitragen, ohne Namensnennung frei weiterverwendet werden können.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Namensnennung:''' Die Namensnennung ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser Lizenzen. Wir betrachten dies als Anerkennung der Arbeit von Autoren wie Ihnen. Wenn Sie Texte beitragen, stimmen Sie zu, in einer der folgenden Weisen genannt zu werden:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Durch einen Hyperlink auf den Artikel (sofern möglich) oder die Angabe der URL des Artikels, zu dem Sie beigetragen haben (da jeder Artikel über eine Versionsgeschichte verfügt, in der sämtliche Beitragende, Autoren und Bearbeiter aufgeführt sind);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Durch Hyperlink (sofern möglich) oder URL auf eine andere, stabile Online-Kopie, die frei zugänglich ist, die relevante Lizenz erfüllt und die Namensnennung der Autoren auf eine Weise gewährleistet, die gleichwertig zu der auf den Projekt-Websites ist; oder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Durch eine Liste aller Autoren (bitte beachten Sie allerdings, dass jede Liste von Autoren gefiltert werden kann, um sie um sehr kleine oder irrelevante Beiträge zu bereinigen).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Import von Texten:''' Sie können Texte importieren, die Sie anderswo gefunden haben oder die von Ihnen in Miturheberschaft mit anderen geschaffen worden sind, wobei Sie in diesem Fall versichern und garantieren, dass die Texte unter Bedingungen verfügbar sind, die mit CC BY-SA vereinbar sind (oder, wie oben ausgeführt, mit einer anderen Lizenz, sofern dies ausnahmsweise von der Projektversion oder der Funktion gefordert wird). Eine Liste kompatibler Lizenzen findet sich bei [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Sie dürfen keine Inhalte importieren, die ausschließlich unter GFDL verfügbar sind.&lt;br /&gt;

Falls Sie Texte unter einer CC-Lizenz importieren, die eine Namensnennung erfordern, müssen Sie den Autor bzw. die Autoren auf angemessene Weise nennen. In Fällen, in denen die Namensnennung üblicherweise mittels der Versionsgeschichte erfolgt (wie beispielsweise bei der wikimediainternen Übernahme von Inhalten), genügt es, der Pflicht zur Namensnennung in der Bearbeitungszusammenfassung nachzukommen, die in der Versionsgeschichte gespeichert wird. Die Anforderungen an die Namensnennung sind (unabhängig von der jeweiligen Lizenz) unter bestimmten Bedingungen bisweilen zu restriktiv und es kann entsprechend Fälle geben, in denen die Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft zum Entschluss kommt, dass importierte Texte aus diesem Grund nicht genutzt werden können.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nicht textuelle Medien:''' Nicht textuelle Medien sind in den Projekten unter einer Vielzahl verschiedener Lizenzen verfügbar, die dem allgemeinen Ziel einer uneingeschränkten Weiternutzbarkeit und Weiterverbreitung förderlich sind. Wenn Sie nicht textuelle Medien beitragen, stimmen Sie zu, dabei in Einklang mit den Bedingungen solcher Lizenzen zu handeln, wie sie in unserer [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Lizenzrichtlinie]] beschrieben sind, und darüber hinaus die Anforderungen der spezifischen Projektversion oder Funktion zu erfüllen, zu der Sie beitragen. Sehen Sie auch die [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Lizenzrichtlinie von Wikimedia Commons]] für weiterführende Informationen zum Beitragen nicht textueller Medien zu Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Kein Widerruf der Lizenz:''' Außer in dem Umfang, in dem Ihre gewählte Lizenz dies zulässt, stimmen Sie zu, dass Sie eine von Ihnen unter diesen Nutzungsbedingungen gewährte Lizenz für Text oder nicht textuelle Inhalte, die Sie zu den Projekten oder Funktionen beigetragen haben, nicht einseitig widerrufen oder auf eine Außerkraftsetzung selbiger hinwirken werden, auch dann nicht, wenn Sie die Nutzung unserer Dienste einstellen.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Gemeinfreie Inhalte:''' Gemeinfreie Inhalte sind willkommen. Es ist allerdings wichtig, dass Sie die Gemeinfreiheit der Inhalte sowohl nach dem Recht der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika als auch jenen Rechtsordnungen anderer Staaten überprüfen, deren Berücksichtigung die spezifische Projektversion fordert. Wenn Sie Inhalte beitragen, die gemeinfrei sind, garantieren Sie, dass dieses Material tatsächlich gemeinfrei ist und stimmen zu, es auch entsprechend zu kennzeichnen.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Weiternutzung:''' Wir laden zur Weiternutzung der von uns bereitgehaltenen Inhalten ein, wenngleich es Ausnahmen für solche Inhalte gibt, die unter der „Fair Use“-Doktrin oder einer ähnlichen anwendbaren urheberrechtlichen Ausnahmeregelung beigetragen wurden. Jede Weiternutzungshandlung muss den Bestimmungen der zugrunde liegenden Lizenz(en) genügen.&lt;br /&gt;

Wenn Sie eine von der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft entwickelte Textseite weiternutzen oder weiterverbreiten, stimmen Sie zu, die Autoren in einer der folgenden Weisen zu nennen:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;durch einen Hyperlink auf die Seite(n) (sofern möglich) oder die Angabe der URL der Seite(n), die Sie weiternutzen (da jede Seite über eine Versionsgeschichte verfügt, in der sämtliche Beitragende, Autoren und Bearbeiter aufgeführt sind);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;durch Hyperlink (sofern möglich) oder URL auf eine andere, stabile Online-Kopie, die frei zugänglich ist, die Lizenz erfüllt und die Namensnennung der Autoren auf eine Weise gewährleistet, die gleichwertig zu der auf den Projekt-Websites ist; oder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;durch eine Liste aller Autoren (bitte beachten Sie allerdings, dass jede Liste von Autoren gefiltert werden kann, um sie um sehr kleine oder irrelevante Beiträge zu bereinigen).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Falls der Textinhalt aus einer anderen Quelle importiert wurde, besteht die Möglichkeit, dass der Inhalt unter einer kompatiblen CC-BY-SA-Lizenz, nicht jedoch unter GFDL, lizenziert ist (wie weiter oben unter „Import von Texten“ beschrieben). In diesem Fall stimmen Sie zu, die Lizenzbedingungen der kompatiblen CC-BY-SA-Lizenz einzuhalten und erkennen an, dass Sie nicht die Möglichkeit haben, den Inhalt unter der GFDL weiter zu lizenzieren. Um festzustellen, welcher Lizenz die Inhalte, die Sie weiternutzen oder weiterverbreiten möchten, unterstellt sind, sollten Sie die Fußleiste der Seite, die Versionsgeschichte sowie die Diskussionsseite auf diese Angaben hin überprüfen.

Weiterhin bitten wir Sie zu beachten, dass Textinhalte, die von einer externen Quelle stammen und in ein Projekt importiert wurden, gegebenenfalls unter einer Lizenz stehen können, die zusätzliche Erfordernisse an die Namensnennung stellt. Benutzer stimmen zu, deutlich auf solcherlei zusätzliche Anforderungen an die Namensnennung hinzuweisen. Je nach Projekt können derartige Hinweise beispielsweise mittels eines Banners oder mit einer anderen Darstellungsmethode geleistet werden, die anzeigt, dass einige oder sämtliche Inhalte ursprünglich an einem anderen Ort veröffentlicht wurden. Wo es solche sichtbaren Hinweise gibt, sollten Weiternutzer sie beibehalten.

Hinsichtlich sämtlicher nicht textueller Medien stimmen Sie zu, die anwendbare Lizenz zu befolgen, unter der das Werk verfügbar gemacht wurde (diese kann eingesehen werden, indem man auf das Werk klickt und auf der resultierenden Beschreibungsseite den Abschnitt zur Lizenzierung konsultiert oder indem man auf eine geeignete Quellseite des Werkes zurückgreift). Wenn Sie von uns bereitgehaltene Inhalte weiternutzen, stimmen Sie zu, den einschlägigen Anforderungen an die Namensnennung Folge zu leisten, soweit diese in der zugrunde liegenden Lizenz oder den zugrunde liegenden Lizenzen vorgesehen sind.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Bearbeitungen oder Ergänzungen von weitergenutztem Material:''' Wenn Sie Änderungen oder Ergänzungen an einem Text vornehmen, den Sie von einer Projekt-Website bezogen haben, stimmen Sie zu, den bearbeiteten oder hinzugefügten Inhalt unter CC BY-SA 4.0 oder einer späteren Lizenzversion (oder, wie oben ausgeführt, unter einer anderen Lizenz, sofern dies ausnahmsweise von der spezifischen Projektversion oder Funktion gefordert wird) zu lizenzieren.&lt;br /&gt;

Wenn Sie Änderungen oder Ergänzungen an einem nicht textuellen Inhalt vornehmen, den Sie von einer Projekt-Website bezogen haben, stimmen Sie zu, den bearbeiteten oder hinzugefügten Inhalt im Einklang mit einer Lizenz zu lizenzieren, unter der das Werk verfügbar gemacht worden ist.&lt;br /&gt;

Hinsichtlich sowohl textueller als auch nicht textueller Inhalte stimmen Sie zu, deutlich anzugeben, dass das ursprüngliche Werk verändert worden ist. Falls Sie Textinhalte in einem Wiki weiternutzen, ist es ausreichend, in der Versionsgeschichte der Seite anzugeben, dass Sie eine Änderung am importierten Text vorgenommen haben. Bezüglich jeder Kopie oder veränderten Version, die Sie verbreiten, stimmen Sie zu, einen Lizenzhinweis beizufügen, aus dem hervorgeht, welcher Lizenz das Werk unterstellt ist, und der darüber hinaus entweder einen Hyperlink oder eine URL beinhaltet, der bzw. die auf den Lizenztext oder eine Kopie der Lizenz selbst verweist.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Die Wikimedia Foundation will sicherstellen, dass die von uns bereitgehaltenen Inhalte von anderen Nutzern weitergenutzt werden können, ohne dass diese dabei haftungsrechtliche Folgen oder eine Verletzung fremder Eigentumsrechte befürchten müssen. Aus Fairness gegenüber unseren Benutzern sowie anderen Urhebern und Urheberrechtsinhabern [„copyright holders“] sieht unser Verfahren vor, auf Benachrichtigungen über mutmaßliche Rechtsverletzungen zu reagieren, die den formalen Anforderungen des [[:de:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|Digital Millennium Copyright Act]] (DMCA) genügen. Gemäß dem DMCA werden wir unter gegebenen Umständen Nutzer und Inhaber von Benutzerkonten von unserem System und Netzwerk verbannen, die wiederholt Rechtsverstöße in unseren Projekten und Diensten begangen haben.

Allerdings erkennen wir auch an, dass nicht jede Takedown-Notice gültig ist oder in guter Absicht erfolgt. In solchen Fällen ermutigen wir unsere Benutzer nachdrücklich, eine Gegenerklärung [„counter-notification“] einzureichen, falls sie in nachvollziehbarer Weise der Meinung sind, dass eine DMCA-Takedown-Forderung ungültig oder unberechtigt ist. Weitere Informationen darüber, was Sie tun können, wenn Sie der Meinung sind, dass eine DMCA-Notice zu Unrecht erfolgt ist, finden Sie auf der Website [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Wenn Sie der Rechteinhaber von Inhalten sind, die unberechtigterweise und ohne Ihre Erlaubnis auf einer der Projekt-Websites genutzt werden, können Sie durch eine Mitteilung gemäß dem DMCA verlangen, dass diese Inhalte entfernt werden. Um eine entsprechende Aufforderung an uns zu richten, senden Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail an {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} oder [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|wenden sich per Post an unseren zuständigen Vertreter (Designated Agent)]].

Alternativ können Sie sich auch mit einer Anfrage an die Benutzergemeinschaft wenden; dadurch können urheberrechtliche Probleme oftmals schneller und effektiver beseitigt werden, als dies nach dem Prozess gemäß DMCA-Verfahren der Fall ist. Hierzu können Sie einen Hinweis hinterlassen, in dem Sie auf Ihre urheberrechtlichen Bedenken aufmerksam machen. Eine unvollständige und unverbindliche Liste der entsprechenden Verfahrensweisen in den einzelnen Projektversionen [[:m:Copyright problems|finden Sie auf der Seite zu Urheberrechtsproblemen]]. Bevor Sie einen DMCA-Anspruch anmelden, können Sie die Gemeinschaft auch über die E-Mail-Adresse {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} kontaktieren.

== 9. Internetangebote und Ressourcen Dritter ==

Sie allein sind für Ihre Nutzung von Internetangeboten und Ressourcen Dritter verantwortlich. Auch wenn die Projekte und Projekt-Websites Links auf Internetangebote oder Ressourcen Dritter enthalten, heißen wir diese nicht gut und sind weder verantwortlich oder haftbar für deren Verfügbarkeit, Genauigkeit oder für damit verbundene Inhalte, Produkte oder Dienste (darunter, ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, eventuell vorhandene Viren oder andere unerwünschte Funktionen), noch sind wir in irgendeiner Weise dazu verpflichtet, solche Inhalte Dritter zu überwachen.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Verwaltung von Internetangeboten ==

Der Gemeinschaft kommt die wichtigste Rolle zu, wenn es darum geht, Regeln für die verschiedenen Projektversionen auszuarbeiten und durchzusetzen. Wir von der Wikimedia Foundation greifen selten in Entscheidungen der Gemeinschaft über Regeln und ihre Durchsetzung ein.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Es ist möglich, uns über illegale Inhalte oder Inhalte, die aus anderen Gründen gegen unsere Nutzungsbedingungen (einschließlich aller Richtlinien und anderer Dokumente, die durch Verweis aufgenommen wurden) verstoßen, zu informieren, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|indem man uns direkt kontaktiert]]. Sie können eine Anfrage in der Regel jedoch direkt an die Community des Projekts richten: Dies kann effizienter sein und steht besser mit dem Ziel unserer Projekte im Einklang, die Community der Benutzer zu stärken.
&lt;/div&gt;


Jedes Projekt verfügt in der Regel über „Hilfe“- oder „Kontakt“-Seiten für weitere Anleitungen oder über spezifische Tools zur Meldung von Problemen. Alternativ können Sie – im Zweifelsfall – Mitglieder der Community um Hilfe bitten, indem Sie eine E-Mail an {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} oder eine sprachspezifische Adresse von der [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Seite des Support-Teams]] senden. Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Postfächer von Benutzern der Projekte und nicht von der Foundation überwacht werden. Aufgrund dessen sollten über diese Adressen keine rechtlichen Schritte angedroht oder rechtlichen Forderungen gestellt werden.

Wenn Sie sich mit einem Problem an die Foundation wenden, werden wir in der Regel prüfen, ob und wie bestehende von der Community geleitete Mechanismen diese Probleme untersuchen und gegebenenfalls lösen können.

In außergewöhnlichen Fällen kann es notwendig werden oder einer Bitte der Gemeinschaft entsprechen, dass wir uns mit einem problematischen Benutzer oder besonders problematischen Inhalten beschäftigen, von denen erhebliche Projektstörungen ausgehen oder die durch gefährliches Verhalten auffallen. In solchen Fällen behalten wir uns das Recht vor, nach unserem eigenen Ermessen (oder wenn dies rechtlich erforderlich ist):

* zu untersuchen, wie Sie die Projekte oder unsere Dienste nuten, (a) um festzustellen, ob eine Verletzung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen, der Richtlinien der Projektversion oder anderer anwendbarer Gesetze oder Richtlinien erfolgt ist, oder (b) um einem anwendbaren Gesetz, einem Gerichtsverfahren oder einer angemessenen Anfrage einer Regierung nachzukommen;
* betrügerische, falsche oder nicht verifizierbare Informationen oder sicherheitsrelevante oder technische Problemlagen ausfindig zu machen, abzuwehren, ihnen anderweitig zu begegnen oder entsprechende Benutzeranfragen zu beantworten;
* den Zugriff auf Beiträge eines Nutzers, der diese Nutzungsbedingungen verletzt, zu verweigern, zurückzusetzen, unverfügbar zu machen oder einzuschränken;
* einem Benutzer die Berechtigung zu entziehen, Bearbeitungen oder Beiträge zu tätigen, oder ein Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrecht eines Benutzers aufgrund von Handlungen zu sperren, durch die diese Nutzungsbedingungen verletzt werden, darunter wiederholte Veröffentlichung von rechtswidrigem Material nach anwendbarem Recht im Einklang mit den Menschenrechtsgrundsätzen;
* juristisch gegen Nutzer vorzugehen, die diese Nutzungsbedingungen verletzen (einschließlich einer Meldung an Strafverfolgungsbehörden); und
* die Projekt-Websites auf eine andere Weise zu verwalten, die geeignet ist, ihr einwandfreies Funktionieren zu begünstigen und die Rechte, das Eigentum sowie die Sicherheit der Foundation und unserer Benutzer, Lizenznehmer, Partner sowie der Öffentlichkeit zu schützen.

Diese Moderationsaktivitäten der Foundation können sich auf Software stützen oder von Software ausgeführt werden (z. B. Schutz vor Flooding [„Denial of Service“]). In diesen Fällen ist [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|auf Anfrage]] normalerweise eine menschliche Prüfung möglich.

Für den außerordentlichen Fall, dass jemandes Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrechte aufgrund dieses Abschnitts gesperrt worden sind, ist es dieser Person ohne unsere ausdrückliche Genehmigung im Interesse unserer Nutzerschaft sowie der Projekte untersagt, im selben Projekt ein anderes Benutzerkonto zu erstellen, zu verwenden oder zu versuchen, sich Zugang zu demselben Projekt zu verschaffen. Ohne die Entscheidungskompetenz der Gemeinschaft einzuschränken, wird die Foundation keinem Benutzer nur deshalb die Berechtigung entziehen, Bearbeitung oder Beiträge zu tätigen, oder ein Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrecht eines Benutzers sperren, weil dieser in guter Absicht Kritik äußert, die nicht in Handlungen resultiert, die ansonsten eine Verletzung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen oder von Richtlinien der Gemeinschaft darstellen würden.

Die Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft und ihre Mitglieder können ebenfalls Maßnahmen ergreifen, die von den auf die spezifische Projektversion anwendbaren Richtlinien der Gemeinschaft oder der Foundation vorgesehen sind, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf, die Verwarnung, Untersuchung, Sperrung oder den Ausschluss von Benutzern, die diese Regeln verletzen. Sie willigen ein, den endgültigen Entscheidungen von Einrichtungen, die der Streitbeilegung dienen und von der Gemeinschaft für spezifische Projektversionen eingerichtet worden sind (beispielsweise Schiedsgerichten), Folge zu leisten; diese Entscheidungen können unter anderem in Sanktionen bestehen, deren Umfang sich nach den in der jeweiligen Projektversion geltenden Regeln richtet.

Besonders problematische Nutzer, deren Benutzerkonten oder Zugriffsrechte in verschiedenen Projektversionen gesperrt worden sind, können im Einklang mit der [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Richtlinie für globale Ausschlüsse]] von allen Projektversionen ausgeschlossen werden. Anders als Beschlüsse des Boards oder Bestimmungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen können Richtlinien, die von der Gemeinschaft erstellt worden sind und die sich auf eine einzelne Projektversion oder auch auf mehrere Projektversionen (wie bei der Richtlinie für globale Ausschlüsse) beziehen, durch die jeweils relevante Gemeinschaft nach eigener Maßgabe geändert werden.

Die Sperrung eines Benutzerkontos oder Zugriffsrechts oder der Ausschluss eines Nutzers unter dieser Bestimmung soll in Übereinstimmung mit Abschnitt 13 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen erfolgen.

Wenn Sie der Meinung sind, dass wir nicht zufriedenstellend auf eine Meldung von problematischen Inhalten reagiert haben, oder wenn Sie Gegenstand einer Moderationsmaßnahme der Foundation waren, die Sie anfechten möchten, können Sie [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|Einspruch einlegen]]. Weitere Informationen über Beschwerdewege erhalten Sie möglicherweise zu gegebener Zeit oder auf projektspezifischen Hilfeseiten.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Wir behalten uns das Recht vor, unsere Bearbeitung von Meldungen oder anderer Korrespondenz von Benutzern oder Dritten, ob bezüglich mutmaßlich illegaler oder anderweitig problematischer Inhalte oder Verhaltensweisen oder bezüglich Einsprüchen gegen Moderationsmaßnahmen (vorübergehend oder dauerhaft), einzustellen, wenn solche Korrespondenz in böser Absicht, wiederholt, unbegründet und/oder missbräuchlich erfolgt ist. Unter angemessenen Umständen kann Ihre E-Mail-Adresse sogar in unseren E-Mail-Systemen gesperrt werden, sodass Sie uns [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|über unsere Postanschrift kontaktieren]] müssen, wenn Sie während dieser Sperrzeit weiter mit uns korrespondieren möchten. Bei weniger schwerwiegenden Fällen (z. B. bis zu drei höflichen E-Mails über eine oder mehrere unbegründete Beschwerden) ist dies wahrscheinlich eine temporäre Maßnahme. Häufigere oder missbräuchlichere Korrespondenz führt mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit zu dauerhaften Maßnahmen.

&lt;span id=&quot;11._Resolutions_and_Project_Policies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 11. Richtlinien und Projektregeln ==

Das Board of Trustees der Wikimedia Foundation erlässt von Zeit zu Zeit [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|offizielle Richtlinien]]. Einige dieser Richtlinien können für bestimmte Projekte oder Projektversionen verbindlich sein. Wenn dies der Fall ist, willigen Sie ein, diese Regeln, soweit sie im Einzelnen anwendbar sind, zu befolgen.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. API-Bedingungen ==

Wir stellen eine Reihe von APIs zur Verfügung, die Dokumentation und zugehörige Tools umfassen, um Benutzern die Erstellung von Produkten zu ermöglichen, die freies Wissen fördern. Durch die Nutzung unserer APIs erklären Sie sich damit einverstanden, alle anwendbaren Richtlinien einzuhalten, die die Nutzung der APIs regeln, darunter die [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent-Richtlinie]], die [[wikitech:Robot policy|Roboter-Richtlinie]] und die [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etikette]] (zusammen „API-Dokumentation“), die durch Verweis in diese Nutzungsbedingungen einbezogen werden.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Beendigung ==

Auch wenn wir hoffen, dass Sie auf den Projekten verbleiben und weiterhin zu ihnen beitragen, können Sie jederzeit aufhören, unsere Dienste zu nutzen. Unter bestimmten (hoffentlich unwahrscheinlichen) Umständen kann es entweder für uns selbst, für die Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft oder ihre Mitglieder (wie in Abschnitt 10 beschrieben) erforderlich sein, unsere Dienste teilweise oder vollständig einzustellen, diese Nutzungsbedingungen aufzuheben, Ihr Benutzerkonto oder Ihre Zugriffsrechte zu sperren oder Sie als Benutzer auszuschließen. Wenn Ihr Benutzerkonto oder Zugriffsrecht gesperrt oder in anderer Weise eingestellt wird, bleiben Ihre Beiträge und eine Aufzeichnung Ihrer Aktivitäten an oder im Zusammenhang mit den Projekten (einschließlich jeglicher Korrespondenz, die Sie uns gesendet haben) davon unberührt (vorbehaltlich anwendbarer Richtlinien) und Sie können auf unsere öffentlichen Seiten zugreifen, sofern sich dieser Zugriff auf das Lesen öffentlich verfügbarer Inhalte beschränkt. Es kann unter diesen Umständen allerdings vorkommen, dass Sie nicht auf Ihr Benutzerkonto oder Ihre Einstellungen zugreifen können. Unabhängig von anderen Bestimmungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen behalten wir uns jedoch das Recht vor, unsere Dienste jederzeit auszusetzen oder einzustellen, mit oder ohne Grund und mit oder ohne Ankündigung. Auch nachdem Ihre Nutzung und Teilnahme durch Ausschluss, Sperrung oder eine andere Maßnahme ausgesetzt wird, bleiben diese Nutzungsbedingungen hinsichtlich der relevanten Bestimmungen in Kraft, einschließlich der Abschnitte 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9–16 und 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Streitigkeiten und Gerichtsstand&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Zur Verdeutlichung hervorgehoben''

Wir hoffen, dass es zu keinen ernsthaften Meinungsverschiedenheiten mit Ihnen kommt, ermuntern Sie jedoch für den Fall einer Streitigkeit zwischen Ihnen und uns dazu, eine Lösung durch Streitschlichtungsverfahren und -mechanismen, die von den Projekten und der Wikimedia Foundation bereitgestellt werden, anzustreben. Sofern Sie eine Klage gegen uns anstreben, so stimmen Sie zu, diese ausschließlich vor einem Staats- oder Bundesgericht im San Francisco County, Kalifornien, zu stellen und zu verhandeln. Sie stimmen des Weiteren zu, dass für diese Nutzungsbedingungen sowie jedweden Rechtsanspruch, der zwischen Ihnen und uns erwachsen könnte, die Gesetze des Staates Kalifornien und, sofern anwendbar, die Gesetze der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika gelten (abgesehen von Prinzipien des internationalen Privatrechts). Sie stimmen zu, sich für alle gerichtlichen Schritte oder Verhandlungen, die uns oder diese Nutzungsbedingungen betreffen, der persönlichen Gerichtsbarkeit der Gerichte, die im San Francisco County, Kalifornien, liegen, zu unterwerfen und stimmen überdies zu, dass dort der richtige Ort ist.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Um sicherzustellen, dass Streitigkeiten schnellstmöglich nach ihrem Aufkommen beigelegt werden, stimmen Sie unbeschadet jeglicher anderslautender Bestimmungen oder Gesetze zu, dass sämtliche Ansprüche oder Klagegründe, die Ihnen aus der Nutzung von oder im Zusammenhang mit unseren Diensten oder diesen Nutzungsbedingungen entstehen könnten, innerhalb der geltenden Verjährungsfrist oder, falls dies früher eintritt, ein (1) Jahr, nachdem die dem Anspruch oder dem Klagegrund zugrunde liegenden Fakten mit angemessener Sorgfalt hätten entdeckt werden können, geltend gemacht werden müssen (andernfalls verjähren sie endgültig).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Wie in Abschnitt 4 dieser Nutzungsbedingungen beschrieben, erklären Sie sich damit einverstanden, Verstöße gegen die Bestimmungen zu bezahltem Schreiben ohne Offenlegung im Rahmen einer Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen nach dem Ermessen der Foundation zu klären. Schlichtungen für Marketingunternehmen sind '''verbindliche''' Schlichtungen, bei denen am Ende einer halb- oder ganztägigen Sitzung strittige Punkte, die noch nicht gelöst wurden, vom Schlichter in einer rechtsverbindlichen Entscheidung entschieden werden. Sie werden in Meetings per Telefon- oder Videokonferenz durchgeführt. Wenn ein persönliches Treffen erforderlich ist, findet die Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen in San Francisco, Kalifornien, statt. Die Parteien bezahlen alle Gebühren und Ausgaben im Zusammenhang mit der Schlichtung zu gleichen Teilen.

Sie erklären sich damit einverstanden, im Rahmen einer Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen mit der Foundation zu kooperieren, indem Sie alle in Ihrem Besitz befindlichen Unterlagen über Ihre nicht offengelegten Aktivitäten im Rahmen des bezahlten Schreibens, einschließlich der verwendeten Konten, der betroffenen Artikel und der Kunden, die solche Dienstleistungen erworben haben, rechtzeitig zur Verfügung stellen.

Schlichtungen für Marketingunternehmen unterliegen dem Bundesschiedsgerichtsgesetz (Federal Arbitration Act), soweit der Schlichter zum Schiedsrichter wird. Die obsiegende Partei ist berechtigt, ihre Anwaltsgebühren (einschließlich aller Gebühren, die zur Bestimmung der Anwendbarkeit der Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen und zur Durchsetzung des verbindlichen Ergebnisses erforderlich sind) sowie alle Kosten im Zusammenhang mit der Untersuchung und der Durchsetzung ihrer Rechte zurückzufordern. Eine Partei kann auch dann als „obsiegende“ Partei gelten, wenn sie nicht bei jedem geltend gemachten Anspruch erfolgreich ist.

Wenn sich diese Anforderungen zur Schlichtung für Marketingunternehmen aus irgendeinem Grund als nicht durchsetzbar erweisen, stimmen Sie zu, sämtliche Streitigkeiten wie am Anfang dieses Abschnitts beschrieben beizulegen.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;15. Haftungsausschluss&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Bei der Wikimedia Foundation tun wir unser Bestes, ein sehr breites Publikum mit Bildungs- und Informationsinhalten zu versorgen; gleichwohl erfolgt Ihre Benutzung unserer Dienste auf Ihr alleiniges Risiko. Wir stellen diese Dienste ohne Mängelgewähr und auf Verfügbarkeitsbasis zur Verfügung und weisen explizit darauf hin, dass wir sämtliche ausdrückliche oder stillschweigende Gewährleistungen jedweder Art ausschließen, darunter stillschweigende Garantien für die Gebrauchstauglichkeit, die Verwendbarkeit für einen bestimmten Zweck oder die Nichtverletzung von Rechten. Wir geben keine Garantie, dass unsere Dienste deinen Bedürfnissen entsprechen, sicher sind, ohne Unterbrechung, zeitnah, genau oder fehlerfrei zur Verfügung stehen oder dass Ihre Informationen sicher sind.

Wir sind nicht verantwortlich für Inhalte, Daten oder Handlungen von Dritten und Sie stellen uns, unsere geschäftsführenden Direktoren, leitenden Angestellten, Mitarbeiter und Beauftragten von jeglichen – bekannten oder unbekannten – Ansprüchen und Schäden frei, die in irgendeiner Weise aus einem Anspruch, den Sie gegenüber einem Dritten haben, resultieren oder mit einem solchen in Zusammenhang stehen. Ratschläge oder Informationen, ungeachtet ob mündlich oder schriftlich, die Sie von uns oder über oder durch unsere Dienste erhalten haben, begründen in keinem Fall einen Gewährleistungsanspruch, der nicht ausdrücklich in diesen Nutzungsbedingungen festgehalten ist.

Das Herunterladen und der anderweitige Erhalt von Inhalten im Rahmen der Benutzung unserer Dienste erfolgt auf Ihr eigenes Risiko und Sie haften alleine für jegliche Schäden an Ihrem Computersystem oder für Datenverluste, die aus dem Herunterladen solcher Materialien resultieren. Sie sind einverstanden, dass wir keinerlei Verantwortung oder Haftung für die Löschung oder das fehlerhafte Speichern oder Übermitteln jedweder Inhalte oder Kommunikation, die von unseren Diensten unterhalten werden, tragen. Wir behalten uns das Recht vor, die Nutzung und Speicherung jederzeit nach unserem eigenen Ermessen einzuschränken, mit oder ohne vorherige Ankündigung.

Einige Staaten oder Gerichtsbarkeiten lassen die in diesem Abschnitt verwendeten Arten von Haftungsausschlussklauseln nicht zu, weshalb die Möglichkeit besteht, dass sie für Sie je nach gesetzlicher Regelung teilweise oder in Gänze nicht gelten.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;16. Beschränkung der Haftung&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Die Wikimedia Foundation haftet Ihnen oder einer anderen Partei gegenüber nicht für etwaige direkte, indirekte, zufällige, besondere, Folge- oder exemplarische Schäden, darunter entgangenen Gewinn, Verlust von Geschäftswert oder Nutzung, Datenverlust oder andere immaterielle Schäden, unabhängig davon, ob wir auf die Möglichkeit solcher Schäden hingewiesen wurden. In keinem Fall wird unsere Haftung insgesamt eintausend US-Dollar (USD 1000,00) übersteigen. Für den Fall, dass anzuwendende Gesetze die Beschränkung oder den Ausschluss von Haftungen oder Zufalls- oder Folgeschäden nicht erlauben, kann die obige Haftungsbeschränkung oder der obige Haftungsausschluss gegebenenfalls nicht auf Sie anwendbar sein, wenngleich unsere Haftung im größtmöglichen von den geltenden Gesetzen zugelassenen Maße beschränkt ist.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Änderungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen ==

Ebenso wie die Beteiligung der Wikimedia-Gemeinschaft notwendig für das Wachstum und die Pflege der Projekte ist, glauben wir, dass eine Beteiligung der Gemeinschaft notwendig ist, damit diese Nutzungsbedingungen unseren Benutzern angemessen nützen. Die Beteiligung ist auch notwendig für einen gerechten Vertrag. Daher werden wir dafür sorgen, dass diese Nutzungsbedingungen, ebenso wie jegliche wesentliche zukünftige Revisionen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen, der Gemeinschaft mindestens 30 Tage vor Ablauf der Kommentierungsphase vorgelegt werden. Bei zukünftigen, umfangreichen Revisionen werden wir zusätzlich 30 Tage für Kommentare vorsehen, nachdem eine Übersetzungen in mindestens drei (von uns ausgewählten) Sprachen bereitgestellt wurde. Die Gemeinschaft wird ermuntert, die vorgeschlagene Revision in andere Sprachen zu übersetzen. Bei Änderungen aus rechtlichen oder administrativen Gründen oder solchen, die dazu dienen, eine fehlerhafte Aussage zu berichtigen oder die in Reaktion auf Kommentare der Gemeinschaft erfolgen, werden wir die Änderung mindestens drei (3) Tage im Voraus ankündigen.

Weil es unter Umständen notwendig wird, diese Nutzungsbedingungen von Zeit zu Zeit zu verändern, werden wir versuchen, Sie über die Projekt-Websites und eine Ankündigung auf [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]] auf derartige Veränderungen hinzuweisen und Ihnen die Gelegenheit für Kommentare zu bieten. Dennoch bitten wir Sie, regelmäßig die aktuellste Version dieser Nutzungsbedingungen einzusehen. Die fortgesetzte Nutzung unserer Dienste nach Inkrafttreten der neuen Nutzungsbedingungen – also nach Ablauf der Ankündigungs- und Überarbeitungsphase – stellt eine Zustimmung Ihrerseits zu diesen Nutzungsbedingungen dar. Zum Schutz der Wikimedia Foundation und anderer Benutzer wie Ihnen dürfen Sie unsere Dienste nicht in Anspruch nehmen, wenn Sie unseren Nutzungsbedingungen nicht zustimmen.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Andere Bedingungen ==

Diese Nutzungsbedingungen begründen in keinem Fall ein Beschäftigungs-, Agentur- oder Partnerschaftsverhältnis oder eine Joint-Control- oder Joint-Venture-Beziehung zwischen Ihnen und uns, der Wikimedia Foundation. Im Sinne des Rechts des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums, des Rechts des Vereinigten Königreichs oder anderer Gesetze, die ein ähnliches Konzept beinhalten, handeln Sie nicht „unter der Autorität“ der Foundation, wenn Sie die Dienste nutzen. Sofern Sie keine separate Vereinbarung mit uns geschlossen haben, stellen diese Nutzungsbedingungen die vollständige Vereinbarung zwischen Ihnen und uns dar. Bei Widersprüchen zwischen diesen Nutzungsbedingungen und einer unterzeichneten schriftlichen Vereinbarung zwischen Ihnen und uns hat die unterzeichnete Vereinbarung Vorrang.

Sie willigen ein, dass wir Ihnen möglicherweise Mitteilungen via E-Mail, Briefpost oder Nachrichten in den Projekten oder auf Projekt-Websites zukommen lassen, einschließlich Hinweisen auf Änderungen der Nutzungsbedingungen.

Sollten wir unter Umständen irgendeine Bestimmung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen nicht anwenden oder durchsetzen, so stellt dies keine Einwilligung in den Verzicht auf diese Bestimmung dar.

Sie sind sich bewusst, dass Sie, sofern Ihnen von uns nichts anderes auf schriftlichem Wege zugesichert wurde, keinerlei Entschädigung für jedwede Aktivität, jedweden Beitrag oder jedwede Idee, die Sie uns, der Gemeinschaft, den Projekten oder den Projektversionen zur Verfügung stellen, erwarten können.

Unbeschadet anderslautender Bestimmungen in diesen Nutzungsbedingungen verpflichten wir (die Wikimedia Foundation) und Sie uns, die anwendbaren Begriffe und Anforderungen irgendeiner der in den Projekten oder Projektversionen verwendeten freien Lizenzen nicht zu ändern, solange die jeweilige Lizenz nach diesen Nutzungsbedingungen gestattet ist.

Diese Nutzungsbedingungen wurden in englischer Sprache verfasst (amerikanisches Englisch). Auch wenn wir hoffen, dass die Übersetzungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen korrekt sind, hat die englischsprachige Originalversion Vorrang, sofern es Bedeutungsunterschiede zwischen der originalen englischen Version und einer Übersetzung geben sollte.

Falls eine Bestimmung oder ein Teil einer Bestimmung dieser Nutzungsbedingungen für ungesetzlich, nichtig oder nicht anwendbar befunden wird, wird diese Bestimmung oder der Teil der Bestimmung getrennt von diesen Nutzungsbedingungen angesehen und im maximal möglichen Umfang durchgesetzt, wobei alle übrigen Bestimmungen dieser Nutzungsbedingungen weiterhin vollständig in Kraft bleiben.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Danke! ==

Wir bedanken uns, dass Sie sich Zeit für die Lektüre dieser Nutzungsbedingungen genommen haben und freuen uns sehr darüber, dass Sie zu den Projekten beitragen und unsere Dienste nutzen. Durch Ihre Beiträge helfen Sie dabei, etwas wirklich Großes aufzubauen – nicht nur eine bedeutende Sammlung von gemeinschaftlich erstellten Nachschlagewerken, die Bildungsinhalte und Informationen für Millionen von Menschen bereithält, denen dieser Zugang andernfalls mitunter verwehrt bliebe, sondern auch eine lebendige Gemeinschaft aus gleichgesinnten und engagierten Teilnehmern, die sich allesamt einem sehr edlen Ziel verschrieben haben.

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Dayena Wizyon dê Ma]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Serwise ma==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:

This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

==7. Zerreke lisans==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

'''''Imagu mondon en kiu ĉiuj w havas liberan aliron al la sumo de ĉiu scio. Ni celas krei tian mondon.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Ekspliko pri niaj misiojrxv]]

Bonvenon al Vikimedio! La Vikimedia Fondaĵo (The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.) estas bonfara organizaĵo sen profita celo, kun ĉefsidejo en San-Francisko, Kalifornio, Usono, kies [[:wmf:Mission statement|misio]] estas kapabligi kaj allogi homojn de la tuta mondo al la kolektado kaj disvolvado de enhavo sub [[w:en:Free content|libera]] aŭ  publika permesilo, kaj dissemi ĝin efektive kaj tutmonde, senpage.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Por subteni nian energian komunumon, ni provizas la necesan infrastrukturon kaj organizaĵan kadron por la vastigo de multilingvaj vikiprojektoj kaj ties eldownoj (eksplikataj [[wmf:Our projects|ĉi tie]]) kaj aliaj penoj kiuj servas ĉi-tiun mision. Ni penas rete alirebligi edukadan kaj informan enhavon de la projektoj senpage kaj senfine.
&lt;/div&gt;

Ni bonvenigas vin kiel leganto, redaktoro, aŭtoro, aŭ kontribuanto de la vikimediaj projektoj, kaj ni kuraĝigas vin kuniĝi al la komunumo de Vikimedio. Tamen antaŭ ol vi partoprenas, ni petas, ke vi legu kaj konsentu al la jenaj Uzkondiĉoj.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Ĉi tiuj uzkondiĉoj eksplikas al vi niajn publikajn servojn ĉe la Vikimedia Fondaĵo, nian interrilaton al vi kiel uzanto, kaj la rajtojn kaj respondecojn kiuj gvidas nin ambaŭ. Ni deziras, ke vi sciu ke ni retgastigas mirindan sumon de edukada kaj informa materialo, el kiu ĉio estas kontribuata kaj ebligata per uzantoj kiel vi mem. Ĝenerale ni ne kontribuas, ekzamenas, aŭ forigas enhavon (kun malofta escepto por politikoj kiel ĉi tiuj uzkondiĉoj aŭ por observi la avertoj de la [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|Akto pri Kopirajto en Cifereca Jarmilo (DMCA)]]). Tio signifas, ke redaktora forto estas kontrolata de vi, kaj de viaj kunuzantoj, kiuj kreas kaj administras la enhavon. Ni nur retgastigas tiun enhavon.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
La komunumo - t. e. la reto de uzantoj, kiuj ade konstruas kaj uzas la diversajn retejojn aŭ projektojn - estas la ĉefa rimedo per kiu la celoj de la misio plenumiĝas. La komunumo kontribuas al niaj retejoj kaj helpas regi ĝin. La komonumo enterprenas la gravan aferon de kreado kaj obeigo de reguloj por la specifaj projekto-eldonoj (ekzemple la diversaj lingvaj eldonoj por la Vikipedia projekto aŭ la multlingva Vikimedio-Komunejo).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ni bonvenigas vin kuniĝi kiel kontribuanto, redaktoro, aŭ aŭtoro, sed vi obeu la politikojn kiuj regas ĉiujn el la sendependaj projekto-eldonoj. La plej granda el niaj projektoj estas Vikipedio, sed ni ankaŭ retgastigas aliajn projektojn; ĉiu projekto havas malsamajn celojn kaj labormanierojn. Ĉiu eldono havas teamon de kontribuantoj, editoroj aŭ aŭtoroj kiuj kunlaboras por krei kaj administri la enhavon de tiu projekto. Ni bonvenigas vin kuniĝi al ĉi tiuj teamoj kaj labori kun ili por plibonigi ĉi tiujn projektojn. Ĉar ni klopodas igi enhavon libere alirebla por la publiko, ni kutime devigas ke ĉiu informo kontribuata de vi estu sub libera permesilo aŭ en la publikhavaĵo.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Bonvolu atenti ke vi havas juran respondecon pri ĉiuj viaj kontribuoj, redaktoj, kaj reuzoj de Vikimedia enhavo, laŭ la leĝoj de Usono kaj aliaj aplikeblaj leĝoj (kiuj povas inkludi la leĝojn de la nacio en kiu vi loĝas aŭ redaktas). Tio signifas ke vi estu singardema kiam vi aldonas enhavon.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Niaj servoj==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Ni ne prenas redaktoran rolon:''' Ĉar la Vikimediaj projektoj estas kunlabore redaktataj, ĉiu enhavo kiun ni retgastigas estas provizata de uzantoj similaj al vi. Tio signifas ke ni kutime ne taksas aŭ redaktas la enhavon de la projekto-retejoj, kaj ni ne prenas respondecon pri ĉi tiu enhavo. Simile ni ne subtenas iujn ajn opiniojn esprimitajn pere de niaj servoj, kaj ni ne reprezentas aŭ garantias la verecon, akuratecon, aŭ konfidindecon de komunume aldonita enhavo. Ni anstataŭe provizas aliron al la enhavo kiun viaj kunuzantoj kontribuis kaj redaktis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Vi havas respondecon pri viaj propraj agoj:''' Vi jure havas respondecon pri viaj redaktoj kaj kontribuoj ĉe projektoj Vikimediaj; do por via propra protekto vi estu singardema kaj evitu kontribui enhavon kiu povas rezulti je krima aŭ civila respondeco laŭ aplikeblaj leĝoj. Klarigante, aplikebla leĝo inkludas almenaŭ la leĝojn de Usono. Kvankam ni eble ne konsentas kun tiaj agoj, ni avertas redaktorojn kaj kontribuantojn, ke estraroj eble penas apliki alinaciajn leĝojn al vi, inklude lokajn leĝojn kie vi loĝas aŭ redaktas enhavon. La Fondaĵo kutime ne povas oferi iun ajn protekton, garantion, imunecon, aŭ kompenson.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
La projektoj retgastigataj de la Fondaĵo Vikimedia ekzistas nur danke al la energia komunumo de uzantoj similaj je vi, kiuj kunlaboras kune por skribi, redakti, kaj taksi la enhavon. Ni feliĉe bonvenigas vian partoprenon en ĉi tiu komunumo. Ni kuraĝigas vin esti civila kaj afabla en viaj interreagoj kun aliaj komunumanoj, agadi bonintence, kaj fari redaktojn kaj kontribuojn celantajn plivastigi la mision de la partoprenata projekto.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part.

'''''Imagina ezazu mundu bat non gizaki guztiek askatasunez zabaldu dezaketen jakinduria guztia. Hori da gure egitasmoa.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Gure zerbitzuak==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Pribatutasun politika==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==5. Pasahitzaren segurtasuna==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==6. Marka erregistratuak==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Edukiaren lizentzia==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Vores brugsbetingelser&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Forestil dig en verden, hvor hvert enkelt menneske frit kan bidrage til summen af al viden. Det er vores mål.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Vores vision]]

Velkommen til Wikimedia! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (“vi” eller “os” eller “Foundation”) er en almennyttig velgørende organisation med hovedkvarter i San Francisco, Californien, USA, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|hvis mission]] er at styrke og engagere mennesker over hele verden til at indsamle og udvikle indhold [[w:en:Free Content|under en gratis licens]] eller i det offentlige domæne, og til at udbrede det effektivt og globalt, gratis.

For at støtte vores levende fællesskab leverer vi den væsentlige infrastruktur og organisatoriske ramme for udviklingen af flersprogede wiki-projekter og deres udgaver (som forklaret på vores [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects-side]]) (herefter benævnt “projekter”) og andre bestræbelser, der tjener denne mission. Vi bestræber os på at lave og vedligeholde oplysende og informerende indhold fra de projekter, der er tilgængelige på internettet, uden beregning, i al evighed.

Vi byder dig (“dig” eller “brugeren”) velkommen som læser eller bidragsyder til projekterne, og vi opfordrer dig til at deltage i Wikimedia-fællesskabet. Før du deltager, beder vi dig dog læse og acceptere følgende brugsvilkår (“brugsvilkår”).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Disse brugsvilkår fortæller dig om vores offentlige tjenester hos Wikimedia-fonden, vores forhold til dig som bruger og de rettigheder og ansvarsområder, der vejleder os begge. Vi hoster en utrolig mængde oplysende og informerende indhold som alt sammen er bidraget og gjort muligt af brugere som dig selv. Generelt hverken bidrager, overvåger eller sletter vi indhold (med sjældne undtagelser, såsom i henhold til politikker såsom disse brugsvilkår, med henblik på juridisk overholdelse, eller når vi står over for presserende trusler om alvorlig skade). Det betyder, at den redaktionelle kontrol er i hænderne på dig og dine medbrugere, der opretter og administrerer indholdet.

Fællesskabet, dvs. netværket af brugere, der konstant bygger og bruger projekterne og/eller deres hjemmesider (som hermed benævnes “projekthjemmesider”), er det vigtigste middel til opnåelse af missionens mål. Fællesskabet bidrager til og hjælper med at styre vores projekter og projekthjemmesider. Fællesskabet påtager sig også den kritiske funktion at oprette og håndhæve politikker for de specifikke projektudgaver (såsom de forskellige sprogudgaver til Wikipedia-projektet eller den flersprogede udgave af Wikimedia Commons).

Du, brugeren, er velkommen til at deltage som bidragyder, redaktør eller forfatter, men du bør følge de politikker, der regulerer hver af de uafhængige projektudgaver, herunder det universelt adfærdskodeks [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]], (UCoC), som gælder for alle projektudgaver. Det største af vores projekter er Wikipedia, men vi hoster også andre projekter, som hver har forskellige mål og arbejdsmetoder. Hver projektudgave har et team af bidragsydere, redaktører eller forfattere, der arbejder sammen om at skabe og administrere indholdet på den pågældende projektudgave. Du er velkommen til at deltage i disse teams og samarbejde med dem om at forbedre disse projekter. Da vi er dedikeret til at gøre alt indhold frit tilgængeligt for offentligheden, gøres indhold, som du bidrager med, tilgængeligt i medfør af en gratis licens eller udgives i det offentlige domæne.

Vær opmærksom på, at du er juridisk ansvarlig for alle dine bidrag, redigeringer og genbrug af Wikimedia-indhold i henhold til lovgivningen i USA og anden gældende lovgivning (som kan omfatte lovgivning, hvor du eller genstanden for dine bidrag befinder sig). Det betyder, at det er vigtigt, at du udviser forsigtighed, når du poster, ændrer eller genbruger indhold. I lyset af dette ansvar har vi nogle regler om, hvad du ikke må gøre, hvoraf de fleste enten er for at beskytte dig selv eller for at beskytte andre brugere som dig selv. Vær opmærksom på, at det indhold, vi hoster, kun er til generel information, så hvis du har brug for ekspertrådgivning til et bestemt spørgsmål (såsom medicinske, juridiske eller økonomiske anliggender), skal du søge hjælp fra en passende faglig. Vi inkluderer også andre vigtige meddelelser og ansvarsfraskrivelser, så du bedes læse disse brugsvilkår i deres helhed.

Af hensyn til klarheden er andre organisationer, såsom [[wmf:Chapters|lokale Wikimedia-afdelinger]] og -foreninger, der kan have del i den samme mission, ikke desto mindre juridisk uafhængige og adskilt fra Wikimedia Foundation. Medmindre andet er angivet af fonden som en autoriseret part på et givet projekts hjemmeside, har disse andre organisationer intet ansvar for driften af projektets hjemmeside eller dets indhold.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Vores tjenester==

Wikimedia-fonden er dedikeret til at fremme vækst, udvikling og distribution af gratis flersproget indhold og til at hoste det fulde indhold af disse wiki-baserede projekter for offentligheden uden beregning. Vores rolle er at være vært for nogle af de største samarbejdsredigerede referenceprojekter i verden, som kan findes [http://www.wikimedia.org her]. Vi fungerer dog kun som hostingtjenesteudbyder, der opretholder infrastrukturen og de organisatoriske rammer. Denne infrastruktur og ramme giver vores brugere mulighed for at bygge projekterne ved selv at bidrage med og redigere indhold. De giver også vores brugere mulighed for at genbruge det pågældende indhold. Den infrastruktur, vi vedligeholder, omfatter specialiseret teknologisk infrastruktur, der gør det muligt for brugere at interagere med og genbruge indhold på projekter (kaldet “Application Programming Interface” eller “API’er”) og mobilapplikationer.

Som anvendt i resten af brugsvilkårene består vores tjenester af: De projekthjemmesider, vi er vært for, teknologisk infrastruktur, som vi vedligeholder, og eventuelle tekniske rum, som vi er vært for, til vedligeholdelse og forbedring af vores projekter.

På grund af vores unikke rolle er der et par ting, du skal være opmærksom på, når du overvejer vores forhold til dig, projekterne og andre brugere:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Vi påtager os ikke en redaktionel rolle:''' I og med at projekterne redigeres i fællesskab, leveres størstedelen af det indhold, vi hoster, af brugere, og vi påtager os ingen redaktionel rolle. Det betyder, at vi generelt ikke overvåger eller redigerer indholdet på projekthjemmesiderne, og vi påtager os intet ansvar for dette indhold. Tilsvarende gælder det, at medmindre vi udtrykkeligt har angivet andet, støtter vi ikke nogen meninger, der udtrykkes via vores tjenester, og vi hverken repræsenterer eller garanterer sandfærdigheden, nøjagtigheden eller pålideligheden af eventuelt indsendt fællesskabsindhold på projekterne.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Du er ansvarlig for dine egne handlinger:''' Du er juridisk ansvarlig for dine redigeringer og bidrag på projekterne, din genbrug af indhold på projekterne, din brug af API’erne og din brug af vores tjenester i almindelighed. For at beskytte dig selv, skal du udvise forsigtighed og undgå at foretage handlinger, der kan resultere i strafferetligt eller civilretligt ansvar i henhold til gældende lovgivning. For klarheds skyld omfatter gældende lovgivning som minimum lovgivningen i USA og staten Californien. For andre lande fastslås dette fra sag til sag. Selvom vi muligvis ikke er enige i sådanne handlinger, advarer vi brugere – især redaktører, bidragsydere og forfattere – om, at ikke-amerikanske myndigheder kan søge at anvende andre landes lovgivning over for dig, herunder lokal lovgivning, hvor du bor, eller hvor du ser eller redigerer indhold. Vi kan generelt ikke tilbyde nogen beskyttelse, garanti, immunitet eller skadesløsholdelse mod anvendelsen af en sådan lovgivning.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Privatlivspolitik==

Vi beder dig gennemgå [[:wmf:Privacy Policy|privatlivspolitik]] vilkårene i vores fortrolighedspolitik, så du er klar over, hvordan vi indsamler og bruger dine oplysninger.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==3. Indhold, som vi hoster==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Du kan finde noget materiale stødende eller fejlagtigt:'''  I og med at vi hoster en bred vifte af indhold, der produceres eller indsamles af andre brugere, kan du støde på materiale, som du finder krænkende, fejlagtigt, vildledende, fejlmærket eller på anden måde stødende. Vi beder dig derfor om at bruge sund fornuft og passende dømmekraft, når du bruger vores tjenester.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Projekternes indhold er kun til generelle oplysningsformål:''' Selvom vores projekter hoster en masse oplysninger, der vedrører faglige emner, herunder medicinske, juridiske eller økonomiske anliggender, præsenteres dette indhold kun til generel information. Det skal ikke opfattes som faglig rådgivning. Du bedes søge uafhængig faglig rådgivning fra en person, der er licenseret eller kvalificeret inden for det relevante område frem for at handle baseret på oplysninger, meninger eller råd, der forefindes på en af projekthjemmesiderne.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Afstå fra visse aktiviteter==

Projekterne, der hostes af Wikimedia-fonden, eksisterer kun på grund af det dynamiske fællesskab af brugere som dig, der samarbejder om at skrive, redigere og organisere indholdet. Vi glæder os over din deltagelse i dette fællesskab. Vi opfordrer dig til at være civil og høflig i dine interaktioner med andre i fællesskabet, til at handle i god tro og til at foretage redigeringer og komme med bidrag, der har til formål at fremme det fælles projekts mission. Vi beder alle brugere om at gennemgå og følge det [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universelt Adfærdskodeks]] (“UCoC”), som fastlægger krav til kollegialt, civilt samarbejde på tværs af alle projekter, som vi er værter for.

Visse aktiviteter, uanset om de er lovlige eller ulovlige i henhold til gældende lovgivning, kan være skadelige for andre brugere og overtræde vores regler, og nogle aktiviteter kan også pålægge dig ansvar. Derfor må du, af hensyn til din egen og andre brugeres beskyttelse, ikke deltage i sådanne aktiviteter på, eller på anden måde bruge, vores projekter. Disse aktiviteter omfatter:

:'''Chikanere og misbruge andre'''
::* Deltage i trusler, stalking, spam, hærværk eller chikane som beskrevet i UCoC.
::* Overføre kædepost, junkmail eller spam til andre brugere.
::* Poste eller ændre indhold med det formål at skade andre alvorligt, såsom bevidst tilskyndelse til selvskade eller bevidst udløsning af epilepsi.
:'''Overtrædelse af andres privatliv'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Krænke andres privatlivsrettigheder i henhold til lovgivningen i USA eller anden gældende lovgivning (som kan omfatte lovgivningen, hvor du bor, eller hvor du ser eller redigerer indhold);

::* Anmode om personligt identificerbare oplysninger fra personer under 18 år eller under myndighedsalderen, hvor du befinder dig, hvis denne er højere end 18 år, til et ulovligt formål eller overtrædelse af gældende lovgivning vedrørende mindreåriges sundhed eller velbefindende.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Deltagelse i falske erklæringer, efterligning eller svindel'''
::* Med overlæg eller bevidst poste indhold, der udgør injurier eller ærekrænkelse i henhold til lovgivningen i USA;
::* Poste eller ændre indhold med det formål at bedrage eller vildlede andre;
::* Forsøge at udgive dig for at være en anden bruger eller enkeltperson, fejlrepræsentere dit tilhørsforhold til en enkeltperson eller enhed, skjule dit tilhørsforhold til en enkeltperson eller enhed, når offentliggørelse er påkrævet i henhold til disse vilkår eller lokal projektpolitik, eller ved hjælp af en anden persons navn eller brugernavn med henblik på at bedrage, og
::* Deltage i svindel.
:'''Begå krænkelse af intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder'''
::* Krænke ophavsrettigheder, varemærker, patenter eller andre ejendomsrettigheder i henhold til gældende lovgivning.
:'''Misbrug af vores tjenester til andre ulovlige formål'''

::* Poste eller handle med uanstændigt materiale, der er ulovligt i henhold til gældende lovgivning; og
::* Bruge tjenesterne på en måde, der er uforenelig med gældende lovgivning.
:'''Deltagelse i forstyrrende og ulovlig misbrug af faciliteter'''
::* Poste eller distribuere indhold, der indeholder vira, malware, orme, trojanske heste, ondsindet kode eller anden enhed, der kan skade vores tekniske infrastruktur eller system eller andre brugere;
::* Deltage i automatiserede anvendelser af projekthjemmesiderne, der er misbrugende eller forstyrrende for tjenesterne, overtræder politikker for acceptabel brug, hvor de er tilgængelige, eller som ikke er blevet godkendt af Wikimedia-fællesskabet;
::* Afbryde tjenesterne ved at lægge en unødig byrde på en API, en projekthjemmeside eller de netværk eller servere, der er forbundet med en bestemt projekthjemmeside;
::* Afbryde tjenesterne ved at oversvømme nogen af projekthjemmesiderne med kommunikation eller anden trafik, der ikke antyder nogen alvorlig hensigt om at bruge projekthjemmesiden til dens angivne formål;
::* Bevidst at tilgå, manipulere med eller bruge nogen af vores ikke-offentlige områder i vores computersystemer uden tilladelse; og
::* Undersøge, scanne eller teste sårbarheden af nogen af vores tekniske systemer eller netværk, medmindre alle følgende betingelser er opfyldt:
:::*sådanne handlinger ikke i urimelig grad misbruger eller forstyrrer vores tekniske systemer eller netværk;
:::*sådanne handlinger ikke udføres for egen vindings skyld (udover at få æren for dit arbejde);
:::*du indberetter eventuelle sårbarheder til de relevante udviklere (eller løser dem selv); og
:::*du foretager ikke sådanne handlinger med ondsindede eller destruktive hensigter.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Betalte bidrag uden offentliggørelse'''

::Du skal oplyse hver og enhver arbejdsgiver, kunde, tilsigtet modtager og tilhørsforhold med hensyn til ethvert bidrag, du modtager eller forventer at modtage kompensation for. Du skal foretage denne offentliggørelse på mindst én af følgende måder:
::*en erklæring på din brugerside,
::*en erklæring på talesiden, der ledsager eventuelle betalte bidrag, eller
::*en erklæring i redigeringssammendraget, der ledsager eventuelle betalte bidrag.
Derudover skal du, hvis du laver et offentligt opslag på Wikipedia som kompensation af enhver art, oplyse alle Wikipedia-konti, du har brugt eller vil bruge til denne tjeneste i det offentlige opslag på tredjepartstjenesten.
::Gældende lovgivning eller projektspecifikke politikker og fondens politikker og retningslinjer, såsom dem, der omhandler interessekonflikter, kan yderligere begrænse betalte bidrag eller kræve mere detaljeret offentliggørelse. For eksempel krænkelse af Wikimedia-varemærker (defineret i det følgende i afsnit 6) for at annoncere betalte redigeringstjenester, fjerne offentliggørelser på tidligere tilstrækkeligt offentliggjorte betalte redigeringer eller udlogget betalt redigering på en måde, der gør tilstrækkelig offentliggørelse til en praktisk umulighed, der overtræder dette afsnit.
::Et Wikimedia-projektfællesskab kan indføre en alternativ politik for offentliggørelse af betalt bidrag, som kan supplere eller erstatte dette afsnit. Hvis et projekt indfører en alternativ offentliggørelsespolitik, kan du overholde den pågældende politik i stedet for kravene i dette afsnit (med titlen “Betalte bidrag uden offentliggørelse”), når du bidrager til det pågældende projekt.

:: For flere oplysninger, bedes du læse vores [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|ofte stillede spørgsmål om offentliggørelse af betalte bidrag]].


Uoplyst redigering af brugere, der modtager kompensation, skaber en urimelig byrde for frivillige redaktører, [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|der undersøger og håndhæver fællesskabspolitikker]]. For overtrædelser af dette afsnit relateret til ikke-oplyst betalt redigering accepterer du derfor at underkaste dig bindende såkaldt “Med-Arb” (en “markedsføringsvirksomhedsmægling”) som beskrevet i afsnit 14 i disse brugsvilkår.

Vi forbeholder os retten til at udøve vores håndhævelsesbeføjelse med hensyn til bestemmelserne i afsnit 4 i disse brugsvilkår. Hvor det er påkrævet, kan håndhævelse af disse vilkår omfatte handlinger, der ikke er angivet i Wikimedia Foundations [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|handlingspolitik]]. Hvis håndhævelse er påkrævet under nye omstændigheder, vil vi gøre en indsats inden for højst et (1) år for at opdatere handlingspolitikken for at katalogisere den nye type handling.

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==5. Sikkerhed med adgangskode ==

Du er ansvarlig for at beskytte din egen adgangskode og andre sikkerhedsoplysninger og bør aldrig videregive dem til nogen tredjepart.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==6. Varemærker==

Selvom du har betydelige friheder til at genbruge indholdet på projekthjemmesiderne, er det vigtigt, at vi i Wikimedia Foundation beskytter vores varemærkerettigheder, så vi kan beskytte vores brugere mod bedrageriske imitatorer. Derfor beder vi dig om at respektere vores varemærker. Alle Wikimedia Foundations varemærker tilhører Wikimedia Foundation, og enhver brug af vores handelsnavne, varemærker, servicemærker, logoer eller domænenavne skal være i overensstemmelse med disse brugsvilkår og i overensstemmelse med vores [[:wmf:Trademark Policy|varemærkeregler]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Licens til indhold ==

For at øge gratis offentligt tilgængelig viden og gratis kultur er alle brugere, der bidrager til projekterne eller projekthjemmesiderne, forpligtet til at give brede tilladelser til offentligheden til frit at videredistribuere og genbruge deres bidrag, så længe denne brug tilskrives korrekt, og samme frihed til at genbruge og videredistribuere gives til eventuelle afledte værker. I overensstemmelse med vores mål om at levere gratis oplysninger til det bredest mulige publikum, kræver vi, at alt indsendt indhold licenseres, når det er nødvendigt, så det frit kan genbruges af alle, der kan tilgå det.

Du accepterer følgende licenskrav:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Tekst, som du har ophavsretten til:''' Når du indsender tekst, som du har ophavsretten til, accepterer du at licensere den under:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.da Creative Commons Kreditering-DelPåSammeVilkår 3.0 Ikke-porteret-licensen] (&quot;CC BY-SA&quot;), og
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (&quot;uversioneret, uden invariante afsnit, for- eller bagsidetekster&quot;).

Genbrugere kan overholde den ene eller begge licenser.&lt;br /&gt;
Den eneste undtagelse er, hvis projektudgaven eller funktionen kræver en anden licens. I så fald accepterer du at licensere enhver tekst, du bidrager med under den særlige licens, der er foreskrevet af projektudgaven eller -funktionen.

Bemærk, at disse licenser tillader kommerciel brug af dine bidrag, så længe sådanne anvendelser er i overensstemmelse med vilkårene i de respektive licenser. Hvis du ejer Sui Generis-databaserettigheder, der er omfattet af CC BY-SA 4.0, giver du afkald på disse rettigheder. Det betyder f.eks., at de fakta, du bidrager til projekterne, kan genbruges frit uden attribution.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution er en vigtig del af disse licenser. Vi anser det for at give anerkendelse, hvor anerkendelse er berettiget – til forfattere som dig. Når du bidrager med tekst, accepterer du at blive attribueret på en af følgende måder:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gennem hyperlink (hvor det er muligt) eller URL til den artikel, du har bidraget til (da hver artikel har en historikside, der viser alle bidragsydere, forfattere og redaktører);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gennem hyperlink (hvor det er muligt) eller URL til en alternativ, stabil online-kopi, der er frit tilgængelig, som er i overensstemmelse med den relevante licens, og som anerkender forfatterne på en måde, der svarer til den anerkendelse, der gives på projekthjemmesiden; eller&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gennem en liste over alle forfattere (men vær opmærksom på, at enhver liste over forfattere kan filtreres for at udelukke meget små eller irrelevante bidrag).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Import af tekst:''' Du kan importere tekst, som du har fundet andetsteds, eller som du har været medforfatter til sammen med andre, men i så fald erklærer og garanterer du, at teksten er tilgængelig under vilkår, der er kompatible med CC BY-SA (eller, som forklaret ovenfor, en anden licens, når det undtagelsesvis kræves af projektudgaven eller funktionen). Se [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons] for at få en liste over kompatible licenser. Du må ikke importere indhold, der udelukkende er tilgængeligt under GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Du accepterer, at hvis du importerer tekst under en CC-licens, der kræver tilskrivning, skal du anerkende forfatteren/forfatterne på en rimelig måde. Hvor en sådan anerkendelse almindeligvis gives gennem sidehistorik (såsom Wikimedia-intern kopiering), er det tilstrækkeligt at tilskrive i redigeringssammendraget, som registreres i sidehistorikken, når teksten importeres. Tilskrivningskravene er nogle gange for indgribende under særlige omstændigheder (uanset licensen), og der kan være tilfælde, hvor Wikimedia-fællesskabet beslutter, at importeret tekst derfor ikke kan bruges.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ikke-tekstmæssige medier:''' Ikke-tekstbaserede medier på projekterne er tilgængelige under en række forskellige licenser, der understøtter det generelle mål om at tillade ubegrænset genbrug og videredistribution. Når du bidrager med ikke-tekstbaserede medier, accepterer du at overholde kravene til sådanne licenser som beskrevet i vores [[foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy|Licenspolitik]], og også at overholde kravene i den specifikke Projektudgave eller -funktion, som du bidrager til. Se også [[:commons:Commons:Licensing|Licenspolitikken for Wikimedia Commons]] for yderligere oplysninger om bidrag af ikke-tekstbaserede medier til Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ingen tilbagekaldelse af licens:'''  Medmindre det er i overensstemmelse med din licens, accepterer du, at du ikke ensidigt vil tilbagekalde eller søge ugyldiggørelse af eventuel licens, som du har tildelt i henhold til disse brugsvilkår for tekstindhold eller ikke-tekstbaserede medier, der er bidraget til projekterne eller funktionerne, selvom du opsiger brugen af vores tjenester.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Offentligt domæneindhold:''' Indhold, der er offentligt tilgængeligt, er modtages gerne. Det er dog vigtigt, at du bekræfter den offentlige domænestatus for indholdet i henhold til lovgivningen i USA samt lovgivningen i andre lande som påkrævet af den specifikke projektudgave. Når du bidrager med indhold, der er offentligt tilgængeligt, garanterer du, at materialet faktisk er offentligt tilgængeligt, og du accepterer at mærke det på passende vis.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Genbrug:''' Genbrug af indhold, som vi hoster, er velkommen, selvom der findes undtagelser for indhold, der er bidraget under “rimelig brug” eller lignende undtagelser i henhold til gældende ophavsretslovgivning. Enhver genbrug skal overholde de(n) underliggende licens(er).&lt;br /&gt;

Når du genbruger eller videredistribuerer en tekstside, der er udviklet af Wikimedia-fællesskabet, accepterer du at tilskrive forfatterne på en af følgende måder:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gennem hyperlink (hvor det er muligt) eller URL til den eller de sider, du genbruger (da hver side har en historikside, der angiver alle bidragsydere, forfattere og redaktører);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gennem hyperlink (hvor det er muligt) eller URL til en alternativ, stabil onlinekopi, der er frit tilgængelig, som er i overensstemmelse med licensen, og som anerkender forfatterne på en måde, der svarer til den anerkendelse, der gives på projekthjemmesiden; eller&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gennem en liste over alle forfattere (men vær opmærksom på, at enhver liste over forfattere kan filtreres for at udelukke meget små eller irrelevante bidrag).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Hvis tekstindholdet blev importeret fra en anden kilde, er det muligt, at indholdet er licenseret under en kompatibel CC BY-SA-licens, men ikke GFDL (som beskrevet i “Import af tekst” ovenfor). I så fald accepterer du at overholde den kompatible CC BY-SA-licens og har ikke mulighed for at genlicensere den under GFDL. For at fastslå hvilken licens, der gælder for det indhold, du søger at genbruge eller videredistribuere, skal du gennemgå sidefoden, sidehistorikken og diskussionssiden.

Derudover skal du være opmærksom på, at tekst, der stammer fra eksterne kilder og som blev importeret til et projekt, kan være under en licens, der indebærer yderligere tilskrivningskrav. Brugere accepterer at angive disse yderligere tilskrivningskrav tydeligt. Afhængigt af projektet kan sådanne krav f.eks. forekomme i et banner eller andre notationer, der påpeger, at noget af eller hele indholdet oprindeligt blev offentliggjort andetsteds. Hvor der er sådanne synlige notationer, bør genbrugere bevare dem.

For alle ikke-tekstbaserede medier accepterer du at overholde den gældende licens, hvorunder værket er blevet gjort tilgængeligt (som kan findes ved at klikke på værket og se på licensafsnittet på dets beskrivelsesside eller gennemgå en relevant kildeside for det pågældende værk). Når du genbruger indhold, som vi hoster, accepterer du at overholde de relevante tilskrivningskrav, som de vedrører den underliggende licens eller licenser.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Ændringer eller tilføjelser til materiale, som du genbruger:''' Når du ændrer eller foretager tilføjelser til tekst, som du har fået fra en projekthjemmeside, accepterer du at licensere det ændrede eller tilføjede indhold under CC BY-SA 4.0 eller senere (eller, som forklaret ovenfor, en anden licens, når det undtagelsesvis kræves af den specifikke projektudgave eller -funktion).&lt;br /&gt;

Når du ændrer eller foretager tilføjelser til et ikke-tekstbaseret medie, som du har fået fra en projekthjemmeside, accepterer du at licensere det ændrede eller tilføjede indhold i overensstemmelse med den licens, som værket er blevet gjort tilgængeligt under.&lt;br /&gt;

Med både tekstindhold og ikke-tekstbaserede medier accepterer du tydeligt at angive, at det oprindelige værk er blevet ændret. Hvis du genbruger tekstindhold på en wiki, er det tilstrækkeligt at angive i sidehistorikken, at du har foretaget en ændring af den importerede tekst. For hver kopi eller ændret version, som du distribuerer, accepterer du at inkludere en licensmeddelelse, der angiver, hvilken licens værket udgives under, sammen med enten et hyperlink eller en URL til teksten i licensen eller en kopi af selve licensen.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia-fonden ønsker at sikre, at det indhold, vi hoster, kan genbruges af andre brugere uden frygt for ansvar, og at det ikke krænker andres ejendomsrettigheder. Af hensyn til vores brugere, såvel som andre skabere og indehavere af ophavsrettigheder, er det vores politik at reagere på meddelelser om påstået krænkelse, der overholder formaliteterne i loven om digital millennium ophavsret (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA). I henhold til DMCA opsiger vi under passende omstændigheder brugere og kontoindehavere af vores system og netværk, som gentagne gange krænker vores projekter og tjenester.

Vi anerkender dog også, at ikke alle meddelelser om nedtagelse er gyldige eller i god tro. I sådanne tilfælde opfordrer vi på det kraftigste brugerne til at indsende indsigelser, når de på passende vis mener, at et DMCA-nedtagelseskrav er ugyldigt eller upassende. For yderligere oplysninger om, hvad du skal gøre, hvis du mener, at en DMCA-meddelelse er blevet ukorrekt arkiveret, kan du besøge [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database]-webstedet.

Hvis du ejer indhold, der bruges forkert på et af projekterne uden din tilladelse, kan du anmode om, at indholdet fjernes ved at indgive en meddelelse i henhold til DMCA. For at fremsætte en sådan anmodning bedes du sende os en e-mail på sende en e-mail til vores [[foundation:Designated agent|udpegede agent]].

Alternativt kan du fremsætte en anmodning til vores fællesskab, som ofte håndterer ophavsretlige anliggender hurtigere og mere effektivt end den proces, som foreskrives i medfør af DMCA. I så fald kan du poste en meddelelse, der forklarer dine bekymringer vedrørende ophavsret.  For en ikke-udtømmende og ikke-autoritativ liste over de relevante processer for de forskellige projektudgaver, [[meta:Copyright problems|besøg siden Ophavsretsproblemer]].  Før du indgiver et DMCA-krav, har du også mulighed for at sende en e-mail til fællesskabet på &lt;tt&gt;info&lt;/tt&gt;{{@}}&lt;tt&gt;wikimedia.org&lt;/tt&gt;.

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==9. Tredjepartshjemmesider og -ressourcer ==

Du er eneansvarlig for din brug af tredjepartshjemmesider eller -ressourcer. Selvom projekterne og projekthjemmesiderne indeholder links til tredjepartshjemmesider og -ressourcer, godkender vi ikke og er hverken ansvarlige eller erstatningsansvarlige for deres tilgængelighed, nøjagtighed eller relateret indhold, relaterede produkter eller tjenester (herunder, uden begrænsning, eventuelle vira eller andre deaktiveringsfunktioner), og vi er heller ikke forpligtet til at overvåge et sådant tredjepartsindhold.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Administration af hjemmesider ==

Fællesskabet har den primære rolle i at skabe og håndhæve politikker, der gælder for de forskellige projektudgaver. Hos Wikimedia-fonden griber vi sjældent ind i fællesskabsbeslutninger om politik og dens håndhævelse.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Det er muligt at underrette os om ulovligt indhold eller indhold, der overtræder vores brugsvilkår (herunder alle politikker og andre dokumenter, der er indarbejdet ved henvisning) af andre årsager ved at [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|kontakte os direkte]]. Du kan dog typisk fremsætte en anmodning direkte til projektets fællesskab: dette kan være mere effektivt og er mere i overensstemmelse med vores projekters mål om at styrke brugerfællesskabet.
&lt;/div&gt;


Hvert projekt vil normalt angive sider med “Hjælp” eller “Kontakt” for yderligere vejledning eller specifikke værktøjer til rapportering af problemer.  Alternativt – hvis du er i tvivl – kan du bede medlemmer af fællesskabet om hjælp ved at sende en e-mail til info@wikimedia.org eller en mere sprogspecifik adresse [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|fra siden Frivilligt responsteam]]. Bemærk, at disse postkasser overvåges af brugere af projekterne, ikke af fonden. Som følge heraf må de ikke trues og der må ikke udstedes juridiske krav mod dem.

Hvis du kontakter fonden med et problem, vil vi typisk undersøge, om og hvordan eksisterende fællesskabsledede mekanismer kan undersøge og, hvor det er relevant, løse problemet.

I usædvanlige tilfælde kan der opstå et behov, eller fællesskabet kan bede os om at tage os af en særligt problematisk bruger eller særligt problematisk indhold på grund af en væsentlig projektforstyrrelse eller farlig adfærd. I sådanne tilfælde forbeholder vi os retten til, efter eget skøn (eller hvor det er juridisk påkrævet), at:

* Undersøge din brug af projekterne eller vores tjenester (a) for at fastslå, om en overtrædelse af disse brugsvilkår, projektudgavepolitikken eller anden gældende lov eller politik har fundet sted, eller (b) for at overholde eventuel gældende lov, retsproces eller en passende offentlig anmodning;
* Opdage, forebygge eller på anden måde håndtere svig, falske eller uverificerbare oplysninger, sikkerhed eller tekniske problemer eller svare på anmodninger om brugersupport;
* Afvise, tilbageføre, deaktivere eller begrænse adgang til bidrag fra enhver bruger, der overtræder disse brugsvilkår;
* Forbyde en bruger at redigere eller bidrage med eller blokere en brugers konto eller adgang for handlinger, der overtræder disse brugsvilkår, herunder gentagne opslag af ulovligt materiale i henhold til gældende lov i overensstemmelse med menneskerettighedsprincipper;
* Anlægge sag mod brugere, der overtræder disse brugsvilkår (herunder indberetninger til retshåndhævende myndigheder);
* Administrere projekthjemmesiderne på en anden måde, der er beregnet til at formidle deres korrekte funktion og beskytte vores og vores brugeres, licensgiveres, partneres og offentlighedens rettigheder, ejendom og sikkerhed.

Disse af fondens moderationsaktiviteter kan være informeret eller udført af software (såsom beskyttelse mod trafikoversvømmelse (“Denial of Service”)). I disse tilfælde er menneskelig vurdering normalt tilgængelig [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|efter anmodning]].

Af hensyn til vores brugere og projekterne, i det ekstreme tilfælde, at en person har fået sin konto eller adgang blokeret i henhold til dette afsnit, er det forbudt for vedkommende at oprette eller bruge en anden konto på eller søge adgang til det samme projekt, medmindre vi giver udtrykkelig tilladelse til det. Uden at begrænse fællesskabets autoritet vil fonden ikke selv forbyde en bruger at redigere eller bidrage eller blokere en brugers konto eller adgang udelukkende på grund af kritik i god tro, der ikke resulterer i handlinger, der ellers overtræder disse brugsvilkår eller fællesskabspolitikker.

Wikimedia-fællesskabet og dets medlemmer kan også træffe foranstaltninger, når det er tilladt i henhold til fællesskabets eller fondens politikker, der gælder for den specifikke projektudgave, herunder, men ikke begrænset til, advarsel, undersøgelse, blokering eller forbud mod brugere, der overtræder disse politikker. Du accepterer at overholde de endelige beslutninger fra tvistbilæggelsesorganer, der er etableret af fællesskabet for de specifikke projektudgaver (såsom voldgiftsudvalg). Disse beslutninger kan omfatte sanktioner som angivet i politikken for den specifikke projektudgave.

Især problematiske brugere, der har haft konti eller adgang blokeret på flere projektudgaver, kan være underlagt et forbud fra alle projektudgaverne i overensstemmelse med den [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|globale forbudspolitik]]. I modsætning til bestyrelsesbeslutninger eller disse brugsvilkår kan politikker, der er oprettet af fællesskabet, og som kan dække en enkelt projektudgave eller flere projektudgaver (såsom den globale forbudspolitik), ændres af det relevante fællesskab i henhold til dets egne procedurer.

Blokering af en konto eller adgang eller forbud mod en bruger i medfør af denne bestemmelse skal være i overensstemmelse med afsnit 13 i disse brugsvilkår.

Hvis du mener, at vi ikke har handlet på tilfredsstillende vis i forhold til en problematisk indholdsrapport, eller hvis du har været udsat for en Foundation-moderation, som du ønsker at anfægte, kan du muligvis [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|indgive en appel]]. Du kan også blive forklaret om andre oplysninger om klageveje på det tidspunkt eller på projektspecifikke hjælpesider.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vi forbeholder os retten til at suspendere (midlertidigt eller permanent) vores håndtering af indberetninger eller anden korrespondance fra brugere eller tredjeparter, uanset om det drejer sig om påstået ulovligt eller på anden måde problematisk indhold eller adfærd, eller anmode om appeller mod moderationshandlinger, hvis en sådan korrespondance blev foretaget i ond tro, gentagen, ubegrundet og/eller krænkende. Under visse omstændigheder kan din e-mailadresse endda blive blokeret på vores e-mailsystem(er), og du skal derefter kontakte os [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|på vores postadresse]], hvis du ønsker at svare yderligere med os i løbet af denne blok. I mindre alvorlige tilfælde (f.eks. op til tre høflige e-mails om én eller flere grundløse klager) vil dette sandsynligvis være midlertidigt. Hyppigere eller mere misbrugende kommunikation er mere tilbøjelig til at føre til permanente foranstaltninger.

Vi stiller et sæt API’er til rådighed, som omfatter dokumentation og tilhørende værktøjer, så brugerne kan opbygge produkter, der fremmer gratis viden. Ved at bruge vores API’er accepterer du at overholde alle gældende politikker, der regulerer brugen af API’erne, som omfatter, men ikke er begrænset til, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|brugeragentpolitikken]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|robotpolitikken]] og [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API-etiketten]] (samlet benævnt “API-dokumentation”), som er indarbejdet med reference til disse brugsvilkår.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==12. Opsigelse ==

Selvom vi håber, at du vil blive og fortsætte med at bidrage til projekterne, kan du til enhver tid stoppe med at bruge vores tjenester. Under visse (forhåbentlig usandsynlige) omstændigheder kan det være nødvendigt for enten os selv eller Wikimedia-fællesskabet eller dets medlemmer (som beskrevet i afsnit 10) at opsige en del af eller alle vores tjenester, opsige disse brugsvilkår, blokere din konto eller adgang, eller forbyde dig som bruger. Hvis din konto eller adgang blokeres eller på anden måde opsiges af en eller anden grund, vil dine offentlige bidrag og en optegnelse over dine aktiviteter på eller i forbindelse med projekterne (herunder eventuel korrespondance, som du har sendt til os) ikke blive påvirket (med forbehold for gældende politikker), og du kan stadig tilgå vores offentlige sider med det ene formål at læse offentligt tilgængeligt indhold på projekterne. Under sådanne omstændigheder kan du dog muligvis ikke få adgang til din konto eller dine indstillinger. Men uanset enhver anden bestemmelse i disse brugsvilkår forbeholder vi os retten til at suspendere eller afslutte tjenesterne til enhver tid, med eller uden årsag, og med eller uden varsel. Selv efter din brug og deltagelse er forbudt, blokeret eller på anden måde suspenderet, vil disse brugsvilkår forblive i kraft med hensyn til relevante bestemmelser, herunder afsnit 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 og 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Tvister og jurisdiktion&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Fremhævet''

Vi håber, at der ikke opstår nogen alvorlige uoverensstemmelser, der involverer dig, men i tilfælde af en tvist opfordrer vi dig til at søge en løsning vha. tvistbilæggelsesprocedurerne eller vha. de mekanismer, der leveres af projekterne eller projektudgaverne og Wikimedia-fonden. Hvis du ønsker at anlægge sag mod os, accepterer du udelukkende at anlægge og løse det ved en statslig eller føderal domstol beliggende i distriktet San Francisco, Californien. Du accepterer også, at lovgivningen i staten Californien og, i det omfang det er relevant, lovgivningen i USA regulerer disse brugsvilkår, samt ethvert sagsanlæg, der måtte opstå mellem dig og os (uden henvisning til lovkonfliktprincipper). Du accepterer at underkaste dig den personlige jurisdiktion af, og accepterer, at værneting er korrekt i, domstolene i distriktet San Francisco, Californien, i enhver retssag eller procedure vedrørende os eller disse brugsvilkår.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
For at sikre, at tvister behandles hurtigt efter, at de opstår, accepterer du, at uanset eventuel vedtægt eller lov om det modsatte, skal et eventuelt krav eller søgsmål, som du måtte have, der er opstået som følge af eller relateret til brug af vores tjenester eller disse brugsvilkår, indgives inden for den gældende forældelsesfrist eller, hvis tidligere, ét (1) år efter at de relevante fakta, der ligger til grund for et sådant krav eller søgsmål, kunne være blevet opdaget med rimelig omhu (eller for evigt udelukket).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Som beskrevet i afsnit 4 i disse brugsvilkår accepterer du at løse overtrædelser af de betalte bidrag uden offentliggørelse i en markedsføringsvirksomhedsmægling efter fondens skøn. Markedsføringsvirksomhedsmæglinger er bindende mæglinger, hvor eventuelle omstridte genstande, der forbliver uløste, ved afslutningen af enten en halv eller hel dags session vil blive besluttet af mægleren i en juridisk bindende afgørelse. Disse afholdes på møder via telekonference eller videokonference. Hvis et personligt møde er påkrævet, vil markedsføringsvirksomhedsmæglingen finde sted i distriktet San Francisco, Californien. Parterne deler alle gebyrer og udgifter i forbindelse med mæglingen/voldgiften ligeligt.

Som en del af en markedsføringsvirksomhedsmægling accepterer du at samarbejde med fonden, herunder ved rettidigt at tilvejebringe eventuel dokumentation i din besiddelse vedrørende dine ikke-oplyste betalte redigeringsaktiviteter, herunder de anvendte konti, berørte artikler og kunder, der købte sådanne tjenester.

Markedsføringsvirksomhedsmæglinger er underlagt og reguleres af loven om føderal voldgift (Federal Arbitration Act) i et sådant omfang, at mægleren bliver en voldgiftsmand. Den vindende part er berettiget til at inddrive sine advokatsalærer (herunder alle gebyrer, der er nødvendige for at fastslå markedsføringsvirksomhedsmæglingen og håndhæve det bindende resultat) og alle omkostninger i forbindelse med undersøgelsen og håndhævelse af sine rettigheder. En part kan anses for at “vinde”, selvom det ikke lykkes i forbindelse med alle hævdede krav.

Hvis det af en eller anden grund viser sig, at ikke alle markedsføringsvirksomhedsmæglingens krav kan håndhæves, accepterer du at løse eventuelle tvister som beskrevet i begyndelsen af dette afsnit.

==17. Ændringer af disse brugsvilkår ==

Ligesom Wikimedia-fællesskabets input er afgørende for væksten og vedligeholdelsen af projekterne, mener vi, at input fra fællesskabet er afgørende for disse brugsvilkår for at kunne betjene vores brugere korrekt. Det er også vigtigt for en retfærdig kontrakt. Derfor stiller vi disse brugsvilkår samt eventuelle væsentlige fremtidige revisioner af disse brugsvilkår til rådighed for fællesskabet til kommentarer i mindst tredive (30) dage før udgangen af kommentarperioden. Hvis en fremtidig foreslået revision er væsentlig, giver vi yderligere 30 dage til kommentarer efter opslag af en oversættelse af den foreslåede revision på mindst tre sprog (udvalgt efter vores skøn). Fællesskabet vil blive opfordret til at oversætte den foreslåede revision til andre sprog, hvor det er relevant. Ved rettelser i en unøjagtig erklæring eller ændringer som svar på fællesskabskommentarer, giver vi af juridiske eller administrative årsager mindst tre (3) dages varsel.

Da det kan være nødvendigt at ændre disse brugsvilkår fra tid til anden, vil vi underrette om sådanne ændringer og muligheden for at kommentere via projektwebstederne og via en meddelelse på [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Vi beder dig dog om regelmæssigt at gennemgå den mest opdaterede version af disse brugsvilkår. Din fortsatte brug af vores tjenester efter at de nye brugsvilkår bliver officielle efter opsigelses- og gennemgangsperioden udgør din accept af disse brugsvilkår. For at beskytte Wikimedia-fonden og andre brugere som dig selv, kan du ikke bruge vores tjenester, hvis du ikke accepterer vores brugsvilkår.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==18. Andre vilkår ==

Disse brugsvilkår udgør ikke et ansættelses-, agentur-, partnerskabs-, fælles kontrol- eller joint venture-forhold mellem dig og os, Wikimedia-fonden. Med henblik på lovgivningen i Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde, lovgivningen i Storbritannien eller anden lovgivning, der involverer et lignende begreb, handler du ikke “efter bemyndigelse fra” fonden, når du bruger tjenesterne. Hvis du ikke har underskrevet en separat aftale med os, udgør disse brugsvilkår hele aftalen mellem dig og os. Hvis der er en uoverensstemmelse mellem disse brugsvilkår og en underskrevet skriftlig aftale mellem dig og os, gælder den underskrevne aftale.

Du accepterer, at vi kan give dig meddelelser, herunder dem, der vedrører ændringer til brugsvilkårene, via e-mail, almindelig post eller opslag på projekterne eller projekthjemmesiderne.

Hvis vi under nogen omstændigheder ikke anvender eller håndhæver nogen bestemmelse i disse brugsvilkår, udgør det ikke et afkald på den pågældende bestemmelse.

Du forstår, at medmindre andet er aftalt skriftligt af os, har du ingen forventning om kompensation for nogen aktivitet, noget bidrag eller nogen idé, du giver os, fællesskabet eller projekterne eller projektudgaverne.

Uanset en eventuel bestemmelse om det modsatte i disse brugsvilkår accepterer vi (Wikimedia-fonden) og du ikke at ændre de gældende vilkår og krav for eventuel gratis licens, der anvendes på projekterne eller projektudgaverne, når en sådan gratis licens er godkendt af disse brugsvilkår.

Disse brugsvilkår er skrevet på engelsk (USA). Selvom vi håber, at oversættelser af disse brugsvilkår er nøjagtige, har den originale engelske version forrang i tilfælde af eventuelle meningsforskelle mellem den originale engelske version og en oversættelse.

Hvis en bestemmelse eller del af en bestemmelse i disse brugsvilkår findes ulovlig, ugyldig eller uden retskraft, anses den pågældende bestemmelse eller den del af bestemmelsen for at være adskilt fra disse brugsvilkår og vil blive håndhævet i det maksimale omfang det er tilladt, og alle andre bestemmelser i disse brugsvilkår forbliver i fuld kraft og effekt.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Tak. ==

Vi sætter pris på, at du tager dig tid til at læse disse brugsvilkår, og vi er meget glade for, at du bidrager til projekterne og bruger vores tjenester. Gennem dine bidrag hjælper du med at opbygge noget virkelig stort – ikke kun en vigtig samling af fællesskabsredigerede referenceprojekter, der uddanner og informerer millioner, der måske ellers ikke ville have adgang, men også et dynamisk fællesskab af ligesindede og engagerede fagfæller, der er fokuseret på et særdeles nobelt mål.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;شرایط ما برای استفاده&lt;/span&gt;

'''''جهانی را تصور کنید که در آن هر انسانی بتواند آزادانه سهمی از کل دانش داشته باشد. این تعهد ماست.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|بیانیهٔ چشم‌انداز ما]]

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
به ویکی‌مدیا خوش آمدید! بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا («ما»)، سازمان خیریهٔ ناسودبری است که [[:wmf:Mission statement|مأموریتش]] فراهم ساختن این امکان برای مردم سرتاسر جهان است که بتوانند مطالب را تحت [[w:en:Free content|اجازه‌نامهٔ آزاد]] و یا در مالکیت عموم جمع‌آوری کنند و گسترش دهند و آن را در سطح جهان، به نحوی مؤثر و رایگان منتشر کنند.
&lt;/div&gt;

برای حمایت کردن از جامعهٔ پرجنب‌وجوشمان، ما زیرساخت‌های ضروری و چهارچوب‌های سازمانی برای توسعهٔ پروژه‌های ویکی چندزبانه و نسخه‌هایشان (در [[wmf:Our projects|اینجا]] توضیح داده شده) را فراهم می‌کنیم. ما تلاش می‌کنیم تا مطالب آموزنده و مفید پروژه‌ها را بر روی اینترنت رایگان و برای همیشه نگه داریم.{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}

ما از شما (شما یا کاربر) به عنوان:خواننده، ویرایشگر، پدیدآور ، یا مشارکت‌کننده در پروژه‌های ویکی‌مدیا استقبال می‌کنیم، و شما را ترغیب می‌کنیم که به جامعه ویکی‌مدیا(اگرچه پیش از مشارکت، از شما می‌خواهیم که لطفاً شرایط استفاده که در ذیل آمده را بخوانید و با آن‌ها موافقت کنید)(«شرایط استفاده»).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
این شرایط استفاده، اطلاعاتی دربارهٔ خدمات عمومی ما در بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا، رابطهٔ ما با شما به عنوان کاربر، و حقوق و مسئولیت‌های متقابل ما نسبت به یکدیگر در اختیار شما قرار می‌دهد. می‌خواهیم شما بدانید که ما مقادیر باورنکردنی از مطالب آگاه‌کننده و آموزشی را میزبانی می‌کنیم، که تمامی آن‌ها با مشارکت کاربرانی همچون خود شما به وجود آمده و امکان ‌پذیر شده‌است. معمولاً ما در تولید، حذف، یا بازبینی مطالب دخالت نمی‌کنیم (مگر در موارد استثنائی نادری چون سیاست‌ها مانند همین شرایط استفاده یا انطباق قانونی با بندهای [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|قانون حق تکثیر هزاره دیجیتال]]). این بدین معناست که کنترل ویراستاری متون در دستان خود شما و کاربرانی همچون شماست که مطالب را به وجود آورده و مدیریت می‌کنند. ما تنها این مطالب را میزبانی می‌کنیم.

جامعه - شبکه‌ای از کاربران که پیوسته در حال ساخت یا استفاده از سایت‌ها یا پروژه‌های گوناگون هستند - وسیلهٔ اصلی برای نیل به اهداف مأموریتمان است. جامعه در سایت‌های ما مشارکت می‌کند و در هدایت آن‌ها کمکمان می‌کند. جامعه وظیفهٔ خطیر به وجود آوردن و اجرا نمودن سیاست‌ها برای پروژه‌های معین (مثلاً زبان‌های مختلف پروژهٔ ویکی‌پدیا یا پروژهٔ چندزبانهٔ ویکی انبار) را برعهده دارد.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
از پیوستن شما به پروژه‌های مستقل به عنوان مشارکت‌کننده، ویرایشگر، یا پدیدآور استقبال می‌شود اما باید از سیاست‌های حاکم بر آن پروژه‌ها پیروی کنید. بزرگ‌ترین پروژهٔ ما ویکی‌پدیاست، اما پروژه‌های دیگری را نیز میزبانی می‌کنیم، که هر کدام هدف و شیوهٔ کار مختص به خود را دارد. هر پروژه تیمی از مشارکت‌کنندگان، ویرایشگران یا پدیدآورندگان دارد که با همدیگر کار می‌کنند تا به تولید و مدیریت محتوا در آن پروژه بپردازند. از پیوستن شما به این تیم‌ها و همکاری جهت بهبود آن‌ها استقبال می‌شود. از آنجا که هدف ما تولید محتوایی‌است که آزادانه در دسترس عموم باشد، معمولاً نیاز داریم که تمامی مطالبی که شما در آن مشارکت کرده‌اید تحت مجوزی آزاد و یا تحت مالکیت عموم در دسترس قرار بگیرد.
&lt;/div&gt;

آگاه باشید که از نظر قانونی شما خودتان مسئول تمام مشارکت‌ها، ویرایش‌ها، و استفاده‌تان از مطالب ویکی‌مدیا تحت قوانین ایالات متحده و سایر قوانین قابل اطلاق (که ممکن است شامل قوانین جایی که در آنجا زندگی می‌کنید یا جایی که مطالب را می‌بینید یا ویرایش می‌کنید نیز بشود) هستید. این بدین معنی‌است که باید به هنگام فرستادن مطالب احتیاط کنید. با توجه به این مسئولیت،ما قوانینی درباره ی  آنچه نمی‌توان فرستاد داریم، که بیشترشان برای محافظت از خود شما و یا محافظت از دیگر کاربرانی که همانند خود شما هستند می‌باشد. لطفاً به یاد داشته باشید که مطالبی که ما میزبانی می‌کنیم فقط برای مقاصد اطلاع‌رسانی عمومی‌است، بنابراین اگر در مورد یک موضوع خاص به توصیه یک متخصص نیاز دارید (مثلاً مسائل پزشکی، حقوقی یا اقتصادی)، باید از یک متخصص واجد شرایط و دارای جواز کمک بجویید. همچنین سایر تکذیب‌نامه‌ها و تذکرات مهم را در ادامه آورده‌ایم، بنابراین لطفاً این شرایط استفاده را کامل بخوانید.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
برای روشن شدن موضوع، سازمان‌های دیگر، از قبیل انجمن‌ها و [[wmf:Chapters/en|شعبه‌های محلی ویکی‌مدیا]]، با وجود آنکه ممکن است اهدافی مشابه ما داشته باشند، از نظر قانونی مستقل و مجزا از بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا هستند و مسئولیتی در قبال گرداندن وبگاه و یا محتوایش ندارند.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==۱. خدمات ما==

بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا به پیشبرد رشد، توسعه و توزیع محتوای آزاد چندزبانه، و میزبانی کردن تمامی این محتواهای برآمده از پروژه‌های مبتنی بر ویکی به صورت رایگان و برای عموم اختصاص دارد. نقش ما میزبانی کردن از برخی از بزرگ‌ترین پروژه‌های مرجع قابل ویرایش توسط عموم است که در [http://www.wikimedia.org اینجا] در دسترس هستند. با این وجود، ما تنها به عنوان میزبان عمل می‌کنیم و از زیرساخت‌ها و چهارچوب‌های سازمان نگهداری می‌کنیم که کاربران را قادر می‌سازد تا با مشارکت و ویرایش مطالب، خودشان پروژه‌های ویکی‌مدیا را بسازند. به خاطر این نقش منحصر به فردی که داریم، چند نکته است که به هنگام در نظر گرفتن رابطه‌ با شما، پروژه‌ها و دیگر کاربران باید از آن‌ها آگاه باشید:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''ما نقش سرویراستار را بر عهده نداریم:''' از آنجا که پروژه‌های ویکی‌مدیا از طریق همکاری افراد با یکدیگر ویرایش می‌شوند، تمامی مطالبی که ما میزبانی می‌کنیم توسط کاربرانی همچون خود شما فراهم آمده‌است، و ما نقش سرویراستار را بر عهده نداریم. این بدین معنی‌است که ما عموماً محتوای وبگاه‌های پروژه را بازبینی یا ویرایش نمی‌کنیم، و هیچ مسئولیتی نیز در قبال این مطالب نمی‌پذیریم. به طور مشابه، ما هیچ عقیده‌ای را که از طریق سرویس‌هایمان بیان شده، تأیید نمی‌کنیم، و صحت، دقت، یا موثق بودن هیچ یک از مطالبی که توسط جامعه ارائه شده را تضمین نمی‌کنیم یا وانمود نمی‌کنیم که چنان باشند. در عوض، ما فقط امکان دسترسی به مطالبی را فراهم می‌آوریم که کاربرانی همچون خود شما ویرایشش کرده‌اند و در آن مشارکت نموده‌اند.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''شما مسئول اعمال خود هستید:''' قانوناً شما مسئول ویرایش‌ها و مشارکت‌هایتان در پروژه‌های ویکی‌مدیا هستید، لذا برای حفاظت از خودتان باید احتیاط به خرج دهید و از مشارکت‌هایی که ممکن است به موجب هر قانون قابل اطلاقی منجر به پذیرفتن مسئولیت جزایی یا مدنی برایتان شود اجتناب کنید. برای روشن شدن قضیه، قوانین قابل اطلاق حداقل شامل قوانین ایالات متحده می‌شوند. گرچه با چنین اقداماتی موافق نیستیم، اما به ویرایشگران و مشارکت‌کنندگان هشدار می‌دهیم که ممکن است مسئولین قوانین سایر کشورها، از جمله قوانین محلی جایی که در آن زندگی می‌کنید یا مطالب را می‌بینید یا ویرایش می‌کنید، را بر شما اعمال کنند. بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا معمولاً قادر به ارائهٔ هیچ‌گونه پشتیبانی، ضمانت، مصونیت یا غرامتی نیست.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==۲. سیاست حفظ اسرار==

از شما می‌خواهیم که شرایط [[:wmf:سیاست حفظ اسرار|سیاست حفظ اسرار]]مان را بررسی کنید تا با نحوهٔ جمع‌آوری و استفاده از اطلاعاتتان توسط ما آشنا شوید. از آنجا که خدمات ما در سراسر جهان مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرد، اطلاعات شخصی‌ای که جمع‌آوری می‌کنیم ممکن است در ایالات متحدهٔ آمریکا یا هر کشور دیگری که ما یا نمایندگانمان تسهیلاتمان را در آنجا نگه می‌داریم ذخیره و پردازش شود. با استفاده از خدمات ما، شما با هرگونه از چنین انتقال‌های اطلاعاتی‌ای به بیرون از کشورتان موافقت می‌کنید.

==۳. مطالبی که میزبانی می‌کنیم==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''ممکن است با مطالب توهین‌آمیز یا اشتباه مواجه شوید:''' از آنجا که ما مطالبی را ارائه می‌دهیم که توسط کاربرانی همچون خود شما تولید یا گردآوری شده، ممکن است با مطالبی مواجه شوید که به نظرتان توهین‌آمیز، اشتباه، گمراه‌کننده، با عنوانی نادرست یا به هر نحو دیگری ایراد دار باشد. در نتیجه از شما می‌خواهیم که به هنگام استفاده از خدمات ما عقل سلیم و قضاوت صحیح را به کار ببرید.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''مطالب ما فقط برای مقاصد اطلاع‌رسانی عمومی‌است:''' اگرچه مقادیر معتنابهی از اطلاعات که مربوط به موضوعات تخصصی، نظیر مسائل پزشکی، حقوقی، یا اقتصای، هستند را میزبانی می‌کنیم، با این وجود این مطالب فقط برای مقاصد اطلاع‌رسانی عمومی ارائه می‌شوند. نباید این مطالب را به عنوان توصیه‌های تخصصی در نظر گرفت. لطفاً به جای عمل کردن بر اساس اطلاعات، نظرات، یا توصیه‌های موجود در هر یک از وبگاه‌های پروژه، با کسی که واجد شرایط یا دارای جواز در موضوع مربوطه می‌باشد مشاورهٔ مستقل تخصصی کنید.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==۴. خودداری از اعمال معین==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
پروژه‌هایی که توسط بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا میزبانی می‌شوند تنها به کمک جامعهٔ پرجنب‌وجوشی از کاربرانی همچون خود شما که در نوشتن، ویرایش، و نگهداری مطالب با یکدیگر همکاری می‌کنند ممکن شده‌است. ما با مسرت از مشارکت شما در این جامعه استقبال می‌کنیم و درعین حال شما را ترغیب می‌کنیم به اینکه در تعامل با سایر اعضای این جامعه، نزاکت و ادب را رعایت کنید، با حسن نیت رفتار کنید و ویرایش‌ها و مشارکت‌هایتان در راستای پیشبرد پروژه به سوی اهدافش باشد.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
برخی اعمال، چه قانونی و چه غیرقانونی، ممکن است برای سایر کاربران مضر باشد و قوانین ما را نقض کند و برخی دیگر ممکن است خود شما در معرض پذیرفتن مسسولیت قرار دهد. بنابراین، برای حفظات از خود شما و سایر کاربران، شما نمی‌توانید به برخی فعالیت‌ها در وبگاه‌های ما بپردازید. این فعالیت‌ها شامل موارد ذیل می‌باشند:
&lt;/div&gt;

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.

برای رشدِ دانش و فرهنگِ آزادِ مشترک، لازم است همهٔ کاربرانِ مشارکت‌کننده در پروژه‌ها، مجوزهای گسترده‌ای را برای مشارکت‌های خود به عموم مردم اعطا کنند تا همه بتوانند آنها را آزادانه بازتوزیع کرده و یا مجدداً استفاده کنند، به شرطی که این استفاده، مناسب محسوب شود و همان آزادی‌ها برای استفادهٔ دوباره و بازتوزیع به همهٔ آثارِ مشتق شده اعطا شود.  در راستای هدفمان یعنی ارائهٔ اطلاعات آزاد به گسترده‌ترین مخاطبان ممکن، نیاز داریم که در صورت نیاز، تمام محتوای ارائه شده دارای چنان مجوزی باشد که توسط هرکسی که مایل است، آزادانه قابل استفادهٔ مجدد باشد.

شما با شرایط اجازه‌نامه‌ای زیر موافقت می‌کنید:

'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==۱۰. مدیریت وب‌گاه‌ها==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Okkara Tænastur==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

==4. Afturhald frá ávísum virksemi==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:

This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* such actions do not unduly abuse or disrupt our technical systems or networks;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Merci ! ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==૧.‌ અમારી સેવાઓ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

==૧૦. વેબસાઇટોનું સંચાલન==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part.

For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;हमारे उपयोग की शर्तें&lt;/span&gt;

एक ऐसे विश्व की कल्पना कीजिये जिसमें प्रत्येक व्यक्ति निःशुल्क ज्ञान के हर अंश का सहभागी होगा| यही हमारी प्रतिबद्धता है। – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|हमारा संकल्प-पत्र]]

विकिमीडिया में आपका स्वागत है! विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन, इंक (&quot;हम&quot; या &quot;हमें&quot; या &quot;फ़ाउंडेशन&quot;), एक गैर-लाभकारी धर्मार्थ संगठन है, जिसका मुख्यालय सैन फ्रांसिस्को, कैलिफ़ोर्निया, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका में है,  [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|जिसका मिशन]] दुनिया भर के लोगों को [[w:en:Free content|मुफ्त लाइसेंस या सार्वजनिक डोमेन के तहत]] पाठ एकत्र करने और विकसित करने के लिए सशक्त बनाना और संलग्न करना है, और इसे प्रभावी ढंग से और वैश्विक रूप से प्रसारित करना है।

हमारे जीवंत समुदाय का समर्थन करने के लिए, हम बहुभाषी विकी परियोजनाओं और उनके संस्करणों (जैसा कि इसे हमारे [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|विकिमीडिया परियोजना पृष्ठ]] में समझाया गया है) (जिसे यहाँ &quot;परियोजनाओं&quot; के रूप में संदर्भित किया गया है) और अन्य प्रयासों के विकास के लिए इस मिशन के लिए आवश्यक बुनियादी ढांचा और संगठनात्मक ढांचा प्रदान करते हैं। हम निरंतर रूप से इंटरनेट पर उपलब्ध परियोजनाओं से शैक्षिक और सूचनात्मक पाठ बनाने और रखने का प्रयास करते हैं।

हम परियोजनाओं के पाठक, या योगदानकर्ता के रूप में आपका (“आप” या “उपयोगकर्ता”) स्वागत करते हैं, और हम आपको विकिमीडिया समुदाय में शामिल होने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करते हैं। आपके भाग लेने से पहले, हालांकि, हम आपसे अनुरोध करते हैं कि आप निम्नलिखित उपयोग की शर्तों (&quot;उपयोग की शर्तें&quot;) को पढ़ें और उनसे सहमत हों।
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
ये उपयोग की शर्तें आपको विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन में हमारी सार्वजनिक सेवाओं, उपयोगकर्ता के रूप में आपके साथ हमारे संबंध और उन अधिकारों और ज़िम्मेदारियों के बारे में बताती हैं, जो हम दोनों का मार्गदर्शन करते हैं। हम शैक्षिक और सूचनात्मक पाठ की एक अविश्वसनीय मात्रा की मेजबानी करते हैं, जो सभी आपके जैसे उपयोगकर्ताओं का योगदान हैं और इसे संभव बनाया है। आम तौर पर हम पाठ में योगदान, इसकी निगरानी या हटाते नहीं करते हैं (दुर्लभ अपवादों के साथ, जैसे कि उपयोग की इन शर्तों जैसी नीतियों  के तहत, कानूनी अनुपालन के लिए, जैसे डिजिटल मिलेनियम कॉपीराइट एक्ट (DMCA) नोटिस या जब गंभीर नुकसान के तत्काल खतरों का सामना करना पड़ता है)। इसका मतलब है कि संपादकीय नियंत्रण आपके और साथी उपयोगकर्ताओं के हाथों में है, जो पाठ का निर्माण और प्रबंधन करते हैं।

समुदाय - उपयोगकर्ताओं का नेटवर्क जो लगातार परियोजनाओं और/या उनकी वेबसाइटों (जिसे यहाँ &quot;परियोजना वेबसाइटें&quot; के रूप में संदर्भित किया गया है) का निर्माण और उपयोग कर रहे हैं- प्रमुख साधन हैं जिनके माध्यम से मिशन के लक्ष्य प्राप्त किए जाते हैं। समुदाय हमारी परियोजनाओं और परियोजना वेबसाइटों को शासित करने में योगदान देता है और मदद करता है। समुदाय विशिष्ट परियोजना संस्करणों (जैसे विकिपीडिया परियोजना या विकिमीडिया कॉमन्स बहुभाषी संस्करण के लिए विभिन्न भाषा संस्करण) के लिए नीतियों को बनाने और लागू करने में भी महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है।

एक योगदानकर्ता, संपादक या लेखक के रूप में शामिल होने के लिए आपका, उपयोगकर्ता, का स्वागत है, लेकिन आपको उन नीतियों का पालन करना चाहिए जो प्रत्येक स्वतंत्र परियोजना संस्करण को शासित करती हैं, जिसमें [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|सार्वभौमिक आचार संहिता]] (UCoC) शामिल है, जो सभी परियोजना संस्करणों पर लागू होती है। हमारी परियोजनाओं में से सबसे बड़ा विकिपीडिया है, लेकिन हम अलग-अलग उद्देश्यों और कार्य विधियों वाली अन्य परियोजनाओं की भी मेजबानी करते हैं। प्रत्येक परियोजना संस्करण में योगदानकर्ताओं, संपादकों या लेखकों की एक टीम होती है जो उस परियोजना संस्करण पर सामग्री बनाने और प्रबंधित करने के लिए मिलकर काम करते हैं। इन टीमों में शामिल होने और इन परियोजनाओं को बेहतर बनाने के लिए उनके साथ काम करने के लिए आपका स्वागत है। चूंकि हम सामग्री को जनता के लिए स्वतंत्र रूप से सुलभ बनाने के लिए समर्पित हैं, इसलिए आपके द्वारा योगदान की जाने वाली सभी सामग्री मुफ्त लाइसेंस के तहत या सार्वजनिक डोमेन में जारी की जाती है।

कृपया ध्यान रखें कि आप संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका और अन्य लागू कानूनों के कानूनों के तहत विकिमीडिया सामग्री के अपने सभी योगदानों, संपादनों और पुन:उपयोग के लिए कानूनी रूप से जिम्मेदार हैं (जिनमें वे कानून शामिल हो सकते हैं, जहाँ आप या आप जिस विषय के बारे में लिख रहे हैं वह स्थित हैं)। इसका मतलब है कि यह महत्त्वपूर्ण है कि आप सामग्री को पोस्ट करते, संशोधित करते या पुन: उपयोग करते समय सावधानी बरतें। इस जिम्मेदारी के आलोक में, हमारे कुछ नियम हैं कि आप क्या पोस्ट नहीं कर सकते हैं, जिनमें से अधिकांश या तो आपकी अपनी सुरक्षा के लिए या आपके जैसे अन्य उपयोगकर्ताओं की सुरक्षा के लिए हैं। कृपया ध्यान रखें कि हमारे द्वारा होस्ट की जाने वाली सामग्री केवल सामान्य सूचनात्मक उद्देश्यों के लिए है, इसलिए यदि आपको किसी विशेष प्रश्न (जैसे चिकित्सा, कानूनी या वित्तीय मुद्दों) के लिए विशेषज्ञ सलाह की आवश्यकता है, तो आपको उचित पेशेवर की मदद लेनी चाहिए। हम अन्य महत्त्वपूर्ण नोटिस और अस्वीकरण भी शामिल करते हैं, इसलिए कृपया इन उपयोग की शर्तों को उनकी संपूर्णता में पढ़ें।

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
स्पष्टता के लिए, अन्य संगठन, जैसे [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|स्थानीय विकिमीडिया खंड]] और संघ, जो एक ही मिशन में साझा कर सकते हैं, फिर भी कानूनी रूप से स्वतंत्र और विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन से अलग हैं। जब तक फ़ाउंडेशन द्वारा किसी दिए गए परियोजना की वेबसाइट पर अधिकृत पक्ष के रूप में अन्यथा नहीं कहा जाता है, तब तक उन अन्य संगठनों की परियोजना की वेबसाइट या इसकी सामग्री के संचालन के लिए कोई ज़िम्मेदारी नहीं है।
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== १. हमारी सेवायें ==

विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन मुफ्त बहुभाषी सामग्री के विकास, विकास और वितरण को प्रोत्साहित करने और जनता के लिए इन विकी-आधारित परियोजनाओं की पूरी सामग्री की मेजबानी करने के लिए समर्पित है। हमारी भूमिका दुनिया के कुछ सबसे बड़े सहयोगी रूप से संपादित संदर्भ परियोजनाओं की मेजबानी करना है, [//www.wikimedia.org जो यहां पाए जा सकते हैं]। हालांकि, हम केवल एक होस्टिंग सेवा प्रदाता के रूप में कार्य करते हैं, बुनियादी ढांचे और संगठनात्मक ढांचे को बनाए रखते हैं। यह बुनियादी ढांचा और ढांचा हमारे उपयोगकर्ताओं को स्वयं सामग्री का योगदान और संपादन करके परियोजनाओं का निर्माण करने देता है। वे हमारे उपयोगकर्ताओं को उस सामग्री का पुन: उपयोग करने की अनुमति भी देते हैं। हमारे द्वारा बनाए गए बुनियादी ढांचे में विशेष तकनीकी बुनियादी ढांचा शामिल है जो उपयोगकर्ताओं को परियोजनाओं पर सामग्री के साथ प्रोग्रामेटिक रूप से बातचीत करने और पुन: उपयोग करने में सक्षम बनाता है (जिसे &quot;एप्लिकेशन प्रोग्रामिंग इंटरफेस&quot; या &quot;एपीआई&quot; कहा जाता है), और मोबाइल एप्लिकेशन।

जैसा कि बाकी उपयोग शर्तों में उपयोग किया जाता है, हमारी सेवाओं में शामिल हैं: [//www.wikimedia.org जिन परियोजना वेबसाइटों को हम होस्ट करते हैं], तकनीकी बुनियादी ढांचे जो हम बनाए रखते हैं, और कोई भी तकनीकी स्थान, जिन्हें हम अपनी परियोजनाओं के रखरखाव और सुधार के लिए होस्ट करते हैं।

हमारी अनूठी भूमिका के कारण, जब आप, परियोजनाओं और अन्य उपयोगकर्ताओं के साथ हमारे संबंध पर विचार करते हैं, तो कुछ चीजें हैं जिनके बारे में आपको पता होना चाहिए:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''हम संपादकीय भूमिका का निर्वाह नहीं करते हैं:''' चूंकि परियोजनाओं को सहयोगी रूप से संपादित किया जाता है, इसलिए हमारे द्वारा होस्ट की जाने वाली व्यापक सामग्री उपयोगकर्ताओं द्वारा प्रदान की जाती है, और हम संपादकीय भूमिका का निर्वाह नहीं करते हैं। इसका मतलब यह है कि हम आम तौर पर परियोजना वेबसाइटों की सामग्री की निगरानी या संपादन नहीं करते हैं, और हम इस सामग्री के लिए कोई जिम्मेदारी नहीं लेते हैं। इसी तरह, जब तक हमने स्पष्ट रूप से अन्यथा नहीं कहा है, हम अपनी सेवाओं के माध्यम से व्यक्त किसी भी राय का समर्थन नहीं करते हैं, और हम परियोजनाओं पर किसी भी प्रस्तुत सामुदायिक सामग्री की सच्चाई, सटीकता या विश्वसनीयता का प्रतिनिधित्व या गारंटी नहीं देते हैं।&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''आप अपने कार्यों के लिए ज़िम्मेदार हैं:''' आप परियोजनाओं पर अपने संपादनों और योगदानों, परियोजनाओं पर सामग्री के आपके पुन: उपयोग, और API के आपके उपयोग और हमारी सेवाओं के आपके उपयोग के लिए कानूनी रूप से ज़िम्मेदार हैं। आपको अपनी सुरक्षा के लिए आपको सावधानी बरतनी चाहिए और किसी भी ऐसे कार्य को करने से बचना चाहिए, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप किसी भी लागू कानूनों के तहत आपराधिक या नागरिक देयता हो सकती है। स्पष्टता के लिए, लागू कानून में कम से कम संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका और कैलिफोर्निया राज्य के कानून शामिल हैं। अन्य देशों के लिए, यह मामला दर मामला आधार पर निर्धारित किया जाता है। यद्यपि हम इस तरह के कार्यों से सहमत नहीं हो सकते हैं, हम उपयोगकर्ताओं- खासकर संपादकों, योगदानकर्ताओं और लेखकों- को चेतावनी देते हैं कि गैर-अमेरिकी अधिकारी आपके लिए अन्य देश कानूनों को लागू करने की कोशिश कर सकते हैं, जिसमें वे स्थानीय कानून शामिल हैं, जहाँ आप रहते हैं या जहाँ आप सामग्री देखते हैं या संपादित करते हैं। हम आमतौर पर ऐसे कानूनों के आवेदन के खिलाफ कोई सुरक्षा, गारंटी, प्रतिरक्षा या क्षतिपूर्ति प्रदान नहीं कर सकते हैं।&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== २. गोपनीयता नीति ==

हम कहते हैं कि आप [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|हमारी निजता नीति की शर्तों की समीक्षा करें]], ताकि आप इस बात से अवगत हों कि हम आपकी जानकारी कैसे एकत्रित और उपयोग करते हैं।

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ३. हमारे द्वारा प्रदत्त सामग्री ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''आपको कुछ सामग्री आपत्तिजनक या गलत मिल सकती है:''' क्योंकि हम साथी उपयोगकर्ताओं द्वारा उत्पादित या एकत्र की गई सामग्री की एक विस्तृत श्रृंखला की मेजबानी करते हैं, आपको ऐसी सामग्री का सामना करना पड़ सकता है जो आपको आक्रामक, गलत, भ्रामक, गलत लेबल या अन्यथा आपत्तिजनक लगती है। इसलिए हम कहते हैं कि आप हमारी सेवाओं का उपयोग करते समय सामान्य ज्ञान और उचित निर्णय का उपयोग करें।&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''परियोजनाओं की सामग्री केवल सामान्य सूचनात्मक उद्देश्यों के लिए है:''' यद्यपि हमारी परियोजनाएं चिकित्सा, कानूनी या वित्तीय मुद्दों सहित पेशेवर विषयों से संबंधित बहुत सारी जानकारी होस्ट करती हैं, यह सामग्री केवल सामान्य सूचना उद्देश्यों के लिए प्रस्तुत की जाती है। इसे पेशेवर सलाह के रूप में नहीं लिया जाना चाहिए। परियोजना की किसी वेबसाइट में निहित किसी भी जानकारी, राय या सलाह पर कार्रवाई करने के बदले कृपया किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति से स्वतंत्र पेशेवर परामर्श लें, जो लागू क्षेत्र में लाइसेंस प्राप्त या योग्य है।&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ४. कुछ गतिविधियों से बचना ==

विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन द्वारा होस्ट की गई परियोजनाएं केवल आपके जैसे उपयोगकर्ताओं के जीवंत समुदाय के कारण अस्तित्व में हैं, जो सामग्री को लिखने, संपादित करने और क्यूरेट करने के लिए सहयोग करते हैं। हम इस समुदाय में आपकी भागीदारी का स्वागत करते हैं। हम आपको समुदाय में दूसरों के साथ अपनी बातचीत में सभ्य और विनम्र होने, अच्छे विश्वास में कार्य करने और साझा परियोजना के मिशन को आगे बढ़ाने के उद्देश्य से संपादन और योगदान करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करते हैं। हम कहते हैं कि सभी उपयोगकर्ता [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|सार्वभौमिक आचार संहिता]] (UCoC) की समीक्षा और पालन करते हैं, जो हमारे द्वारा होस्ट की जाने वाली सभी परियोजनाओं में कॉलेजियल, नागरिक सहयोग के लिए आवश्यकताओं को निर्धारित करता है।

कुछ गतिविधियां, जो लागू कानूनों के तहत चाहे कानूनी हों या अवैध, अन्य उपयोगकर्ताओं के लिए हानिकारक हो सकती हैं और हमारे नियमों का उल्लंघन कर सकती हैं, और कुछ गतिविधियां आपको देयता के अधीन भी ला सकती हैं। इसलिए, अपनी सुरक्षा के लिए और अन्य उपयोगकर्ताओं के लिए, आप हमारी परियोजनाओं में ऐसी गतिविधियों में संलग्न नहीं हो सकते हैं, या अन्यथा उपयोग नहीं कर सकते हैं। इन गतिविधियों में शामिल हैं:

:'''दूसरों को परेशान करना और उनके साथ गाली-गलौज करना'''
::* UCoC में वर्णित धमकियों, पीछा करने, स्पैमिंग, या बर्बरता, या उत्पीड़न में संलग्न होना;

::* उत्पीड़न, शोषण, या निजता के उल्लंघन के प्रयोजनों के लिए, या विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन द्वारा स्पष्ट रूप से अनुमोदित नहीं किए गए किसी भी प्रचार या वाणिज्यिक उद्देश्य के लिए व्यक्तिगत रूप से पहचान योग्य जानकारी मांगना; तथा
::* 18 वर्ष से कम उम्र के किसी भी व्यक्ति से, या वयस्कता की आयु के तहत जहाँ आप 18 वर्ष से अधिक हैं, अवैध उद्देश्य के लिए या नाबालिगों के स्वास्थ्य या कल्याण के संबंध में किसी भी लागू कानून का उल्लंघन करने के लिए व्यक्तिगत रूप से पहचान योग्य जानकारी मांगना।
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''प्रकटीकरण के बिना, भुगतान किए गए योगदान'''

::* आपको प्रत्येक नियोक्ता, ग्राहक, इच्छित लाभार्थी और किसी भी योगदान के संबंध में संबद्धता का खुलासा करना होगा, जिसके लिए आप मुआवजा प्राप्त करते हैं, या प्राप्त करने की उम्मीद करते हैं। आपको यह प्रकटीकरण निम्न में से कम से कम एक तरीके से करना चाहिए:
:::* आपके उपयोगकर्ता पृष्ठ पर एक बयान,
:::* किसी भी भुगतान किए गए योगदान के साथ वार्ता पृष्ठ पर एक बयान, या
:::* किसी भी भुगतान किए गए योगदान के साथ संपादन सारांश में एक बयान।
::* इसके अलावा, यदि आप किसी प्रकार के मुआवजे के बदले विकिपीडिया पर किसी परियोजना विज्ञापन संपादन सेवाओं पर सार्वजनिक पोस्टिंग करते हैं, तो आपको यह बताना होगा कि आप तृतीय पक्ष सेवा पर सार्वजनिक पोस्टिंग में इस सेवा के लिए किन विकिपीडिया खातों का उपयोग किया है या करेंगे।
::* लागू कानून, या परियोजना-विशिष्ट नीतियाँ और फ़ाउंडेशन की नीतियां और दिशानिर्देश, जैसे कि हितों के टकराव को संबोधित करने वाले, भुगतान किए गए योगदानों को और सीमित कर सकते हैं या अधिक विस्तृत प्रकटीकरण की आवश्यकता हो सकती है। उदाहरण के लिए, भुगतान संपादन सेवाओं का विज्ञापन करने के लिए विकिमीडिया ट्रेडमार्क्स (इसके बाद अनुभाग 6 पर परिभाषित) का उल्लंघन करना, पहले पर्याप्त रूप से प्रकट किए गए भुगतान संपादनों पर प्रकटीकरणों को हटाना, या इस तरह से लॉग-आउट किए गए संपादन को इस तरह से करना जो पर्याप्त प्रकटीकरण को व्यावहारिक असंभव बनाता है, इस खंड का उल्लंघन करता है।
::* एक विकिमीडिया परियोजना समुदाय एक वैकल्पिक भुगतान योगदान प्रकटीकरण नीति अपना सकता है, जो इस अनुभाग का पूरक हो सकता है या इसे बदल सकता है। यदि कोई खास परियोजना वैकल्पिक प्रकटीकरण नीति अपनाती है, तो आप उस परियोजना में योगदान करते समय इस खंड (शीर्षक &quot;प्रकटीकरण के बिना भुगतान योगदान&quot;) की आवश्यकताओं के बजाय उस नीति का पालन कर सकते हैं।

:: अधिक जानकारी के लिए, कृपया [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|भुगतान किए गए योगदानों के प्रकटीकरण पर हमारे अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न]] पढ़ें।


मुआवजा प्राप्त करने वाले उपयोगकर्ताओं द्वारा अघोषित संपादन, स्वयंसेवक संपादकों पर एक अनुचित बोझ पैदा करता है, [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|जो सामुदायिक नीतियों की जांच और लागू करते हैं]]। इसलिए, अघोषित भुगतान संपादन से संबंधित इस खंड के उल्लंघन के लिए, आप बाध्यकारी “Med-Arb” (&quot;विपणन कंपनी मध्यस्थता&quot;) को प्रस्तुत करने के लिए सहमत हैं, जैसा कि उपयोग की शर्तें के खंड 14 में वर्णन किया गया है।

हम इन उपयोग की शर्तों के अनुभाग 4 में प्रावधानों के संबंध में अपने प्रवर्तन विवेक का उपयोग करने का अधिकार सुरक्षित रखते हैं। जहाँ आवश्यक हो, इन शर्तों के प्रवर्तन में वे कार्य शामिल हो सकते हैं जो विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|कार्यालय कार्रवाई नीति]] में सूचीबद्ध नहीं हैं। यदि नई परिस्थितियों में प्रवर्तन की आवश्यकता होती है, तो हम नए प्रकार की कार्रवाई को सूचीबद्ध करने के लिए कार्यालय कार्रवाई नीति को अद्यतन करने के लिए अधिकतम एक (१) वर्ष के भीतर प्रयास करेंगे।

{{anchor|5}}

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ५. पासवर्ड की सुरक्षा ==

आप अपने खुद के पासवर्ड और अन्य सुरक्षा क्रेडेंशियल की सुरक्षा के लिए ज़िम्मेदार हैं, और उन्हें कभी भी किसी तृतीय पक्ष को इसका खुलासा नहीं करना चाहिए।

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ६. ट्रेडमार्क ==

यद्यपि आपके पास परियोजना वेबसाइटों पर सामग्री के पुन: उपयोग के लिए काफी स्वतंत्रता है, लेकिन यह महत्त्वपूर्ण है कि, विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन में, हम अपने ट्रेडमार्क अधिकारों की रक्षा करें ताकि हम अपने उपयोगकर्ताओं को धोखाधड़ी वाले प्रतिरूपणकर्ताओं से बचा सकें। इस वजह से, हम आपसे अनुरोध करते हैं कि कृपया हमारे ट्रेडमार्क का सम्मान करें। सभी विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन ट्रेडमार्क विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन से संबंधित हैं, और हमारे व्यापार नामों, ट्रेडमार्क, सेवा चिह्नों, लोगो, या डोमेन नामों का कोई भी उपयोग इन उपयोग की शर्तों के अनुपालन में और हमारी [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|ट्रेडमार्क नीति]] के अनुपालन में होना चाहिए।

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ७. सामग्री की लाइसेंसिंग ==

मुक्त ज्ञान और मुक्त संस्कृति के कॉमन्स को विकसित करने के लिए, परियोजनाओं या परियोजना वेबसाइटों में योगदान करने वाले सभी उपयोगकर्ताओं को आम जनता को अपने योगदान को फिर से वितरित करने और फिर से उपयोग करने के लिए व्यापक अनुमति देने की आवश्यकता होती है, जब तक कि उपयोग ठीक से जिम्मेदार ठहराया जाता है और फिर से उपयोग करने और किसी भी व्युत्पन्न कार्यों को फिर से वितरित करने की समान स्वतंत्रता दी जाती है। व्यापक संभव दर्शकों को मुफ्त जानकारी प्रदान करने के हमारे लक्ष्य को ध्यान में रखते हुए, हमें आवश्यकता होती है कि जब आवश्यक हो तो सभी प्रस्तुत सामग्री को लाइसेंस दिया जाए ताकि यह किसी भी ऐसे व्यक्ति द्वारा स्वतंत्र रूप से पुन: प्रयोज्य हो, जो इस तक पहुँच सकता है।

आप निम्नलिखित लाइसेंसिंग आवश्यकताओं से सहमत हैं:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''वह पाठ, जिसका आप कॉपीराइट रखते हैं:''' जब आप उस पाठ को सबमिट करते हैं जिसे आप कॉपीराइट रखते हैं, तो आप इसे निम्न के तहत लाइसेंस देने के लिए सहमत होते हैं:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (“CC BY-SA 4.0”), और
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU मुक्त प्रलेखन लाइसेंस] (“GFDL”) (बिना किसी परिवर्तनशील अनुभाग, फ्रंट-कवर ग्रंथ, या बैक-कवर पाठ के साथ)।

पुनः-उपयोगकर्ता किसी एक लाइसेंस या दोनों का अनुपालन कर सकते हैं।&lt;br /&gt;
एकमात्र अपवाद यह है कि परियोजना संस्करण या विशेषता के लिए एक अलग लाइसेंस की आवश्यकता होती है। उस स्थिति में, आप परियोजना संस्करण या विशेषता द्वारा निर्धारित खास लाइसेंस के तहत आपके द्वारा योगदान किए गए किसी भी पाठ को लाइसेंस देने के लिए सहमत हैं।

कृपया ध्यान दें कि ये लाइसेंस आपके योगदान के वाणिज्यिक उपयोग की अनुमति देते हैं, जब तक कि ऐसे उपयोग संबंधित लाइसेंसों की शर्तों के अनुरूप हों। जहाँ आपके पास CC BY-SA 4.0 द्वारा कवर किए गए Sui Generis डेटाबेस अधिकार हैं, आप इन अधिकारों को छोड़ देते हैं। एक उदाहरण के रूप में, इसका मतलब है कि परियोजनाओं में योगदान करने वाले तथ्यों को बिना आरोपण के स्वतंत्र रूप से पुनः उपयोग किया जा सकता है।&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''आरोपण:''' आरोपण इन लाइसेंसों का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। हम जहाँ क्रेडिट देय है, इसे क्रेडिट देने पर विचार करते हैं - आपके जैसे लेखकों के लिए। जब आप पाठ का योगदान करते हैं, तो आप निम्नलिखित में से किसी भी तरीके से जिम्मेदार होने के लिए सहमत होते हैं:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;हाइपरलिंक (जहां संभव हो) या URL के माध्यम से उस लेख के लिए जिसमें आपने योगदान दिया था, (चूंकि प्रत्येक लेख में एक इतिहास पृष्ठ है जो सभी योगदानकर्ताओं, लेखकों और संपादकों को सूचीबद्ध करता है);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;हाइपरलिंक (जहां संभव हो) या URL के माध्यम से एक वैकल्पिक, स्थिर ऑनलाइन प्रतिलिपि जो स्वतंत्र रूप से सुलभ है, जो प्रासंगिक लाइसेंस के अनुरूप है, और जो लेखकों को परियोजना वेबसाइट पर दिए गए क्रेडिट के बराबर तरीके से क्रेडिट प्रदान करता है; या&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;सभी लेखकों की एक सूची के माध्यम से (लेकिन कृपया ध्यान दें कि लेखकों की किसी भी सूची को बहुत छोटे या अप्रासंगिक योगदान को बाहर करने के लिए फ़िल्टर किया जा सकता है)।&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''पाठ आयात करना:''' आप उस पाठ को आयात कर सकते हैं, जो आपको कहीं और मिला है या जिसका आपने दूसरों के साथ सह-लेखन किया है, लेकिन ऐसे मामले में आप प्रतिनिधित्व और प्रस्तुत करते हैं कि पाठ उन शर्तों के तहत उपलब्ध है जो CC BY-SA लाइसेंस के साथ संगत हैं (या, जैसा कि ऊपर बताया गया है, एक और लाइसेंस जब परियोजना संस्करण या विशेषता को असाधारण रूप से आवश्यकता होती है )। संगत लाइसेंस की सूची के लिए, Creative Commons देखें। आप ऐसी सामग्री आयात नहीं करेंगे, जो केवल GFDL के तहत उपलब्ध है।&lt;br /&gt;

आप सहमत हैं कि, यदि आप एक CC लाइसेंस के तहत पाठ आयात करते हैं जिसके लिए आरोपण की आवश्यकता होती है, तो आपको लेखक(को) को उचित तरीके से श्रेय देना होगा। जहां इस तरह का क्रेडिट आमतौर पर पृष्ठ इतिहास (जैसे विकिमीडिया-आंतरिक प्रतिलिपि) के माध्यम से दिया जाता है, यह संपादन सारांश में आरोपण देने के लिए पर्याप्त है, जो पाठ आयात करते समय पृष्ठ इतिहास में दर्ज किया गया है। आरोपण आवश्यकताएं कभी-कभी विशेष परिस्थितियों (लाइसेंस की परवाह किए बिना) के लिए बहुत घुसपैठ करने वाली होती हैं, और ऐसे उदाहरण हो सकते हैं जहाँ विकिमीडिया समुदाय यह निर्णय लेता है कि आयातित पाठ का उपयोग उस कारण से नहीं किया जा सकता है।&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''गैर-पाठ मीडिया:''' परियोजनाओं पर गैर-पाठ मीडिया विभिन्न लाइसेंसों के तहत उपलब्ध हैं, जो अप्रतिबंधित पुन:उपयोग और पुन:वितरण की अनुमति देने के सामान्य लक्ष्य का समर्थन करते हैं। जब आप गैर-पाठ मीडिया का योगदान करते हैं, तो आप हमारी [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|लाइसेंसिंग नीति में वर्णित ऐसे लाइसेंसों की आवश्यकताओं का पालन करने के लिए सहमत होते हैं]], और विशिष्ट परियोजना संस्करण या सुविधा की आवश्यकताओं का भी पालन करते हैं, जिसमें आप योगदान दे रहे हैं। विकिमीडिया कॉमन्स में गैर-पाठ मीडिया के योगदान के बारे में अधिक जानकारी के लिए [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|विकिमीडिया कॉमन्स लाइसेंसिंग नीति]] भी देखें।&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''लाइसेंस रद्द नहीं करना:''' आपके लाइसेंस के अनुरूप होने के अलावा, आप सहमत हैं कि आप किसी भी लाइसेंस को एकतरफा रद्द नहीं करेंगे या अमान्य करने की मांग नहीं करेंगे, जिसे आपने इन उपयोग की शर्तों के तहत टेक्स्ट सामग्री या गैर-टेक्स्ट मीडिया के लिए परियोजनाओं या सुविधाओं में योगदान दिया है, भले ही आप हमारी सेवाओं का उपयोग समाप्त कर दें।&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''सार्वजनिक डोमेन सामग्री:''' सार्वजनिक डोमेन में जो सामग्री है, उसका स्वागत है। हालांकि, यह महत्त्वपूर्ण है कि आप संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका के कानून के तहत सामग्री की सार्वजनिक डोमेन स्थिति के साथ-साथ विशिष्ट परियोजना संस्करण द्वारा आवश्यक किसी भी अन्य देशों के कानूनों की पुष्टि करें। जब आप सार्वजनिक डोमेन में मौजूद सामग्री का योगदान करते हैं, तो आप गारंटी देते हैं कि सामग्री वास्तव में सार्वजनिक डोमेन में है, और आप इसे उचित रूप से लेबल करने के लिए सहमत हैं।&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''पुन: उपयोग:''' हमारे द्वारा होस्ट की जाने वाली सामग्री का पुनः उपयोग का स्वागत है, हालांकि लागू कॉपीराइट कानून के तहत &quot;उचित उपयोग&quot; या इसी तरह की छूट के तहत योगदान की गई सामग्री के लिए अपवाद मौजूद हैं। किसी भी पुन: उपयोग को अंतर्निहित लाइसेंस(सों) का अनुपालन करना होगा।&lt;br /&gt;

जब आप विकिमीडिया समुदाय द्वारा विकसित पाठ पृष्ठ का फिर से उपयोग या पुनः वितरित करते हैं, तो आप लेखकों को निम्नलिखित में से किसी भी तरीके से श्रेय देने के लिए सहमत होते हैं:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;हाइपरलिंक (जहां संभव हो) या URL के माध्यम से उस पृष्ठ या पृष्ठों पर जो आप फिर से उपयोग कर रहे हैं, (चूंकि प्रत्येक पृष्ठ में एक इतिहास पृष्ठ है जो सभी योगदानकर्ताओं, लेखकों और संपादकों को सूचीबद्ध करता है);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;हाइपरलिंक (जहां संभव हो) या URL के माध्यम से एक वैकल्पिक, स्थिर ऑनलाइन प्रतिलिपि जो स्वतंत्र रूप से सुलभ है, जो लाइसेंस के अनुरूप है, और जो लेखकों को परियोजना वेबसाइट पर दिए गए क्रेडिट के बराबर तरीके से क्रेडिट प्रदान करता है; या&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;सभी लेखकों की एक सूची के माध्यम से (लेकिन कृपया ध्यान दें कि लेखकों की किसी भी सूची को बहुत छोटे या अप्रासंगिक योगदान को बाहर करने के लिए फ़िल्टर किया जा सकता है)।&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

यदि पाठ सामग्री किसी अन्य स्रोत से आयात की गई थी, तो यह संभव है कि सामग्री को एक संगत CC BY-SA लाइसेंस के तहत लाइसेंस प्राप्त हो, लेकिन GFDL के तहत नहीं, (जैसा कि ऊपर &quot;आयात पाठ&quot; में वर्णित है)। उस स्थिति में, आप संगत CC BY-SA लाइसेंस का पालन करने के लिए सहमत हैं और GFDL के तहत इसके लिए फिर से लाइसेंस करने का विकल्प नहीं है। लाइसेंस को निर्धारित करने के लिए जो उस सामग्री पर लागू होता है जिसे आप फिर से उपयोग या फिर से वितरित करना चाहते हैं, आपको पृष्ठ फुटर, पृष्ठ इतिहास और चर्चा पृष्ठ की समीक्षा करनी चाहिए।

इसके अलावा, कृपया ध्यान रखें कि बाहरी स्रोतों से उत्पन्न पाठ और जिसे एक परियोजना में आयात किया गया था, वह एक लाइसेंस के तहत हो सकता है,जिसमें अतिरिक्त आरोपण आवश्यकताएँ हों। उपयोगकर्ता इन अतिरिक्त आरोपण आवश्यकताओं को स्पष्ट रूप से इंगित करने के लिए सहमत हैं। परियोजना के आधार पर, ऐसी आवश्यकताएं उदाहरण के लिए एक बैनर या अन्य नोटेशन में दिखाई दे सकती हैं, जो इंगित करती हैं कि कुछ या सभी सामग्री मूल रूप से कहीं और प्रकाशित हुई थी। जहां इस तरह के दृश्यमान संकेत हैं, पुनः- उपयोगकर्ताओं को उन्हें संरक्षित करना चाहिए।

किसी भी गैर-पाठ मीडिया के लिए, काम को लागू लाइसेंस तहत उपलब्ध कराया गया है, आप इसका पालन करने के लिए सहमत हैं (जिसे काम पर क्लिक करके और उसके विवरण पृष्ठ पर लाइसेंसिंग अनुभाग को देखकर या उस काम के लिए लागू स्रोत पृष्ठ की समीक्षा करके खोजा जा सकता है)। हमारे द्वारा होस्ट की जाने वाली किसी भी सामग्री का फिर से उपयोग करते समय, आप प्रासंगिक एट्रिब्यूशन आवश्यकताओं का पालन करने के लिए सहमत हैं, क्योंकि वे अंतर्निहित लाइसेंस या लाइसेंसों से संबंधित हैं।&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''आपके द्वारा पुनः उपयोग की जाने वाली सामग्री में संशोधन या परिवर्तन:''' किसी परियोजना वेबसाइट से प्राप्त पाठ को संशोधित या परिवर्तन करते समय, आप CC BY-SA 4.0 या बाद का (या, जैसा कि ऊपर बताया गया है, विशिष्ट परियोजना संस्करण या सुविधा द्वारा असाधारण रूप से आवश्यक होने पर एक और लाइसेंस) संशोधित या अतिरिक्त सामग्री को लाइसेंस देने के लिए सहमत हैं।&lt;br /&gt;

किसी भी गैर-पाठ मीडिया को संशोधित करते या परिवर्तन करते समय जिसे आपने किसी परियोजना वेबसाइट से प्राप्त किया है, आप संशोधित या अतिरिक्त सामग्री को उस लाइसेंस के अनुसार लाइसेंस देने के लिए सहमत हैं, जिसके तहत काम उपलब्ध कराया गया है।&lt;br /&gt;

पाठ सामग्री और गैर-पाठ मीडिया दोनों के साथ, आप स्पष्ट रूप से इंगित करने के लिए सहमत हैं कि मूल कार्य को संशोधित किया गया है। यदि आप विकी में पाठ सामग्री का पुन: उपयोग कर रहे हैं, तो पृष्ठ इतिहास में यह इंगित करना पर्याप्त है कि आपने आयोजित पाठ में परिवर्तन किया है। आपके द्वारा वितरित प्रत्येक प्रतिलिपि या संशोधित संस्करण के लिए, आप एक लाइसेंसिंग नोटिस को शामिल करने के लिए सहमत हैं जिसमें कहा गया है कि किस लाइसेंस के तहत काम जारी किया गया है, साथ ही लाइसेंस के पाठ या लाइसेंस की एक प्रति के लिए हाइपरलिंक या URL भी शामिल है।&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहता है कि हमारे द्वारा होस्ट की जाने वाली सामग्री का अन्य उपयोगकर्ताओं द्वारा दायित्व के डर के बिना पुन: उपयोग किया जा सके और यह दूसरों के मालिकाना अधिकारों का उल्लंघन नहीं कर रहा है। हमारे उपयोगकर्ताओं के साथ-साथ अन्य रचनाकारों और कॉपीराइट धारकों के लिए निष्पक्षता में, हमारी नीति कथित उल्लंघन की सूचनाओं का जवाब देना है जो डिजिटल मिलेनियम कॉपीराइट अधिनियम (DMCA) की औपचारिकताओं का पालन करते हैं। DMCA के अनुसार, हम अपने सिस्टम और नेटवर्क के उचित परिस्थितियों में, उपयोगकर्ताओं और खाताधारकों को समाप्त कर देंगे, जो हमारी परियोजनाओं और सेवाओं पर दोहराए गए उल्लंघन हैं।

हालांकि, हम यह भी मानते हैं कि हर टेकडाउन नोटिस वैध या अच्छे विश्वास में नहीं है। ऐसे मामलों में, हम उपयोगकर्ताओं को काउंटर-नोटिफिकेशन दर्ज करने के लिए दृढ़ता से प्रोत्साहित करते हैं जब वे उचित रूप से मानते हैं कि DMCA टेकडाउन मांग अमान्य या अनुचित है। यदि आपको लगता है कि DMCA नोटिस अनुचित रूप से दायर किया गया है, तो क्या करना है, इस बारे में अधिक जानकारी के लिए, आप [//lumendatabase.org/ लुमेन डेटाबेस] वेबसाइट से परामर्श करना चाह सकते हैं।

यदि आप ऐसी सामग्री के मालिक हैं जिसका आपकी अनुमति के बिना किसी परियोजना पर अनुचित रूप से उपयोग किया जा रहा है, तो आप अनुरोध कर सकते हैं कि सामग्री को DMCA के तहत नोटिस दाखिल करके हटा दिया जाए। ऐसा अनुरोध करने के लिए, कृपया हमें {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} पर ईमेल करें या [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|हमारे नामित एजेंट को डाक से पत्र भेजें]]।

वैकल्पिक रूप से, आप हमारे समुदाय से अनुरोध कर सकते हैं, जो अक्सर DMCA के तहत निर्धारित प्रक्रिया की तुलना में कॉपीराइट मुद्दों को तेजी से और अधिक प्रभावी ढंग से संभालता है। उस स्थिति में, आप अपनी कॉपीराइट चिंताओं को समझाते हुए एक नोटिस पोस्ट कर सकते हैं। गविभिन्न परियोजना संस्करणों के लिए प्रासंगिक प्रक्रियाओं की एक गैर-विस्तार पूर्ण और गैर-प्राधिकृत सूची के लिए, [[:m:Copyright problems|कॉपीराइट समस्या पृष्ठ पर जाएँ]]। DMCA दावा दायर करने से पहले, आपके पास समुदाय को {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} पर ईमेल भेजने का विकल्प भी है।

== ९. तृतीय-पक्ष वेबसाइटें और संसाधन ==

आप किसी भी तृतीय पक्ष वेबसाइटों या संसाधनों के उपयोग के लिए पूरी तरह से जिम्मेदार हैं। यद्यपि परियोजनाओं और परियोजना वेबसाइटों में तृतीय-पक्ष वेबसाइटों और संसाधनों के लिंक होते हैं, हम उनकी उपलब्धता, सटीकता, या संबंधित सामग्री, उत्पादों या सेवाओं (बिना किसी सीमा के, किसी भी वायरस या अन्य अक्षम सुविधाओं सहित) के लिए जिम्मेदार या उत्तरदायी नहीं हैं और न ही हमारे पास ऐसी तृतीय-पक्ष सामग्री की निगरानी करने का कोई दायित्व है।

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== १०. वेबसाइटों का प्रबंधन ==

विभिन्न परियोजना संस्करणों में लागू होने वाली नीतियों को बनाने और लागू करने में समुदाय की प्राथमिक भूमिका है। विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन में, हम नीति और इसके प्रवर्तन के बारे में सामुदायिक निर्णयों में शायद ही कभी हस्तक्षेप करते हैं।

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
अन्य कारणों से हमें अवैध सामग्री, या ऐसी सामग्री के बारे में [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|हमसे सीधे संपर्क कर के]] सूचित करना संभव है जो हमारी उपयोग की शर्तों (संदर्भ द्वारा शामिल सभी नीतियों और अन्य दस्तावेजों सहित) का उल्लंघन करती है।  हालांकि, आप आम तौर पर सीधे हमारी परियोजना के समुदाय से एक अनुरोध कर सकते हैं: यह अधिक कुशल हो सकता है, और उपयोगकर्ता समुदाय को सशक्त बनाने के लिए हमारी परियोजनाओं के उद्देश्य के साथ अधिक संगत है।
&lt;/div&gt;


प्रत्येक परियोजना आमतौर पर आगे के मार्गदर्शन के लिए &quot;सहायता&quot; या &quot;संपर्क&quot; पृष्ठ प्रदान करेगी, या मुद्दों की रिपोर्टिंग के लिए विशिष्ट उपकरण प्रदान करेगी।   वैकल्पिक रूप से - यदि संदेह हो - तो आप समुदाय के सदस्यों से मदद के लिए पूछ सकते हैं, {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} पर एक ईमेल भेजकर या [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|स्वयंसेवी प्रतिक्रिया दल पृष्ठ]] से अधिक भाषा-विशिष्ट पता भेज सकते हैं।  कृपया ध्यान दें कि इन मेलबॉक्सों की निगरानी परियोजनाओं के उपयोगकर्ताओं द्वारा की जाती है, फ़ाउंडेशन द्वारा नहीं।  परिणामस्वरूप उन्हें धमकी नहीं दी जानी चाहिए या कानूनी मांगों को जारी नहीं किया जाना चाहिए।

यदि आप किसी समस्या के साथ फ़ाउंडेशन से संपर्क करते हैं, तो हम आम तौर पर यह पता लगाएंगे कि क्या और कैसे मौजूदा समुदाय-नेतृत्व तंत्र जांच कर सकते हैं और, जहाँ उपयुक्त हो, इसे हल कर सकते हैं या नहीं।

एक असामान्य मामले में, महत्त्वपूर्ण परियोजना अशांति या खतरनाक व्यवहार के कारण आवश्यकता उत्पन्न हो सकती है, या समुदाय हमें विशेष रूप से समस्याग्रस्त उपयोगकर्ता या विशेष रूप से समस्याग्रस्त सामग्री को संबोधित करने के लिए कह सकता है। ऐसे मामलों में, हम अपने विवेकाधिकार (या जहाँ कानूनी रूप से मजबूर) पर अधिकार सुरक्षित रखते हैं, कि:

* यह निर्धारित करने के लिए कि क्या इन उपयोग की शर्तों, परियोजना संस्करण नीति, या अन्य लागू कानून या नीति का उल्लंघन हुआ है, या (ख) किसी लागू कानून, कानूनी प्रक्रिया या उपयुक्त सरकारी अनुरोध का पालन करने के लिए परियोजनाओं या हमारी सेवाओं के आपके उपयोग की जांच करने के लिए;
* धोखाधड़ी, झूठी या सत्यापन योग्य जानकारी, सुरक्षा, या तकनीकी मुद्दों का पता लगाना, रोकना या अन्यथा संबोधित करने या उपयोगकर्ता समर्थन अनुरोधों का जवाब देने के लिए;
* इन उपयोग की शर्तों का उल्लंघन करने वाले किसी भी उपयोगकर्ता के योगदान को अस्वीकार, वापस, अक्षम या प्रतिबंधित करने के लिए;
* किसी उपयोगकर्ता को इन उपयोग की शर्तों का उल्लंघन करने वाली कार्रवाइयों के संपादन या योगदान या पहुँच को अवरुद्ध करने से प्रतिबंधित करने के लिए, मानवाधिकार सिद्धांतों के अनुरूप लागू कानून के तहत गैरकानूनी सामग्री को बार-बार पोस्ट करना शामिल है;
* उपयोग की इन शर्तों का उल्लंघन करने वाले उपयोगकर्ताओं के खिलाफ कानूनी कार्रवाई करने के लिए (कानून प्रवर्तन अधिकारियों को रिपोर्ट सहित); और
* अन्यथा परियोजना वेबसाइटों को उनके उचित कामकाज को सुविधाजनक बनाने और स्वयं और हमारे उपयोगकर्ताओं, लाइसेंसदाताओं, भागीदारों और जनता के अधिकारों, संपत्ति और सुरक्षा की रक्षा के लिए डिज़ाइन किए गए तरीके से प्रबंधित करने के लिए।

उन फ़ाउंडेशन मॉडरेशन गतिविधियों को सॉफ्टवेयर (जैसे ट्रैफिक बाढ़ (&quot;सेवा प्रदान करने से मनाही&quot;) सुरक्षा द्वारा सूचित या निष्पादित किया जा सकता है)। उन मामलों में मानव समीक्षा आमतौर पर [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|अनुरोध पर]] उपलब्ध होती है।

हमारे उपयोगकर्ताओं और परियोजनाओं के हितों में, चरम परिस्थिति में  इस प्रावधान के तहत कि किसी व्यक्ति के उनके खाते या पहुँच को अवरुद्ध कर दिया है, उन्हें उसी परियोजना पर किसी अन्य खाते को बनाने या उपयोग करने या पहुँच मांगने से प्रतिबंधित किया गया है, जब तक कि हम स्पष्ट अनुमति प्रदान नहीं करते हैं। समुदाय के अधिकार को सीमित किए बिना, फ़ाउंडेशन स्वयं किसी उपयोगकर्ता को केवल सद्भावना आलोचना के कारण, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप इन उपयोग की शर्तों या सामुदायिक नीतियों का अन्यथा उल्लंघन नहीं होता है, उपयोगकर्ता के खाते को संपादित करने या योगदान करने या अवरुद्ध करने या पहुँच से प्रतिबंधित नहीं करेगा।

विकिमीडिया समुदाय और उसके सदस्य विशिष्ट परियोजना संस्करण पर लागू समुदाय या फ़ाउंडेशन नीतियों द्वारा अनुमति दिए जाने पर भी कार्रवाई कर सकते हैं, जिसमें उन नीतियों का उल्लंघन करने वाले उपयोगकर्ताओं को चेतावनी, जांच, अवरुद्ध करना या प्रतिबंधित करना शामिल है, लेकिन इन्हीं तक सीमित नहीं है। आप विशिष्ट परियोजना संस्करणों (जैसे मध्यस्थता समितियों) के लिए समुदाय द्वारा स्थापित विवाद समाधान निकायों के अंतिम निर्णयों का पालन करने के लिए सहमत हैं; इन निर्णयों में विशिष्ट परियोजना संस्करण की नीति द्वारा निर्धारित प्रतिबंधों को शामिल किया जा सकता है।

विशेष रूप से समस्याग्रस्त उपयोगकर्ता जिनके कई परियोजना संस्करणों पर खाते या पहुँच अवरुद्ध है, वे [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|वैश्विक प्रतिबंध नीति]] के अनुसार सभी परियोजना संस्करणों से प्रतिबंध के अधीन हो सकते हैं। बोर्ड के प्रस्तावों या इन उपयोग की शर्तों के विपरीत, समुदाय द्वारा स्थापित नीतियां, जो एकल परियोजना संस्करण या कई परियोजनाओं के संस्करण (जैसे वैश्विक प्रतिबंध नीति) को कवर कर सकती हैं, को संबंधित समुदाय द्वारा अपनी प्रक्रियाओं के अनुसार संशोधित किया जा सकता है।

इस प्रावधान के तहत किसी खाते या पहुँच को अवरुद्ध करना या उपयोगकर्ता पर प्रतिबंध लगाना इन उपयोग की शर्तों के अनुभाग {{formatnum:13}} के अनुसार होगा।

यदि आपको लगता है कि हमने किसी समस्याग्रस्त सामग्री रिपोर्ट पर संतोषजनक ढंग से काम नहीं किया है, या यदि आपको [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|एक फ़ाउंडेशन]] मॉडरेशन कार्रवाई के अधीन किया गया है जिसे आप चुनौती देना चाहते हैं, तो आप एक निवेदन कर सकते हैं। अपील के मार्गों के बारे में अन्य जानकारी आपको उस समय, या परियोजना-विशिष्ट सहायता पृष्ठों में भी प्रदान की जा सकती है।

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
हम उपयोगकर्ताओं या तृतीय पक्ष से रिपोर्ट या अन्य पत्राचार के हमारे संचालन को निलंबित (अस्थायी रूप से, या स्थायी रूप से) करने का अधिकार सुरक्षित रखते हैं, चाहे वह कथित रूप से अवैध या अन्यथा समस्याग्रस्त सामग्री या आचरण के बारे में हो, या मॉडरेशन कार्यों के खिलाफ अपील का अनुरोध करना, यदि ऐसा पत्राचार खराब विश्वास, दोहराव, निराधार और / या अपमानजनक तरीके से किया गया था।  उचित परिस्थितियों में, आपका ईमेल पता हमारे ईमेल सिस्टम (सिस्टमों) पर भी अवरुद्ध हो सकता है, और यदि आप उस ब्लॉक के दौरान हमारे साथ आगे बढ़ना चाहते हैं तो आपको [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|हमारे डाक पते पर]] हमसे संपर्क करना होगा। कम गंभीर मामलों के लिए (उदाहरण के लिए एक या अधिक योग्यता शिकायतों के बारे में तीन विनम्र ईमेल तक), इसके अस्थायी होने की संभावना है।  अधिक बार या अधिक अपमानजनक संचार स्थायी उपायों का कारण बनने की अधिक संभावना है।

हालांकि हमें उम्मीद है कि आप परियोजनाओं में योगदान देना जारी रखेंगे और जारी रखेंगे, आप किसी भी समय हमारी सेवाओं का उपयोग करना बंद कर सकते हैं। कुछ (उम्मीद है कि ऐसा नहीं होगा) परिस्थितियों में, हमारे या विकिमीडिया समुदाय या इसके सदस्यों (जैसा कि अनुभाग 10 में वर्णित है) के लिए हमारी सेवाओं के कुछ हिस्सों या सभी को समाप्त करना, इन उपयोग की शर्तों को समाप्त करना, आपके खाते या पहुँच को अवरुद्ध करना या उपयोगकर्ता के रूप में आपको प्रतिबंधित करना आवश्यक हो सकता है। यदि आपका खाता या पहुँच किसी भी कारण से अवरुद्ध या अन्यथा समाप्त हो जाती है, तो आपके सार्वजनिक योगदान और परियोजनाओं पर या उनके संबंध में आपकी गतिविधियों का रिकॉर्ड (आपके द्वारा हमें भेजे गए किसी भी पत्राचार सहित) अप्रभावित रहेगा (लागू नीतियों के अधीन), और, आप अभी भी हमारे सार्वजनिक पृष्ठों तक पहुँच सकते हैं। हालांकि, ऐसी परिस्थितियों में, आप अपने खाते या सेटिंग्स तक पहुँचने में सक्षम नहीं हो सकते हैं। हालांकि, इन उपयोग की शर्तों में किसी भी अन्य प्रावधान की परवाह किए बिना, हम किसी भी समय, कारण के साथ या बिना, और नोटिस के साथ या बिना सेवाओं को निलंबित या समाप्त करने का अधिकार सुरक्षित रखते हैं। आपके उपयोग और भागीदारी पर प्रतिबंध लगाने, अवरुद्ध करने या अन्यथा निलंबित करने के बाद भी, ये उपयोग की शर्तें संबंधित प्रावधानों के संबंध में प्रभावी रहेंगी, जिनमें धारा १, ३, ४, ६, ७, ९-१६ और १८ शामिल हैं।

हम आशा करते हैं कि आपके बीच कोई गंभीर असहमति उत्पन्न न हो, लेकिन, यदि कोई विवाद होता है, तो हम आपको परियोजनाओं या परियोजना संस्करणों और विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन द्वारा प्रदान की गई विवाद समाधान प्रक्रियाओं या तंत्रों के माध्यम से समाधान प्राप्त करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करते हैं। यदि आप हमारे खिलाफ कानूनी दावा दायर करना चाहते हैं, तो आप इसे विशेष रूप से सैन फ्रांसिस्को काउंटी, कैलिफ़ोर्निया में स्थित राज्य या संघीय अदालत में दायर करने और समाधान करने के लिए सहमत हैं। आप इस बात से भी सहमत हैं कि  कैलिफोर्निया राज्य के कानून और, लागू सीमा तक, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका के कानून इन उपयोग की शर्तों को नियंत्रित करेंगे, साथ ही साथ आपके और हमारे बीच उत्पन्न होने वाले कोई भी कानूनी दावे (कानून के सिद्धांतों के टकराव के संदर्भ के बिना)। आप किसी भी कानूनी कार्रवाई या हमारे या इन उपयोग की शर्तों से संबंधित कार्यवाही में सैन फ्रांसिस्को काउंटी, कैलिफोर्निया में स्थित अदालतों के व्यक्तिगत अधिकार क्षेत्र में दर्ज करने के लिए सहमत हैं, और सहमत हैं कि स्थान उचित है।

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि विवाद उत्पन्न होने के तुरंत बाद निपटा जाता है, आप सहमत हैं कि इसके विपरीत किसी भी कानून या कानून की परवाह किए बिना, हमारी सेवाओं के उपयोग या इन उपयोग की शर्तों से उत्पन्न या संबंधित कोई भी दावा या कार्रवाई का कारण सीमाओं के लागू क़ानून के भीतर दायर किया जाना चाहिए या, यदि पहले, तो इस तरह के दावे या कार्रवाई के कारण के उचित तथ्यों के साथ खोजे जा सकने के एक ({{formatnum:1}}) वर्ष के बाद तक।

विपणन कंपनी मध्यस्थता संघीय मध्यस्थता अधिनियम के अधीन और नियंत्रित होती है, इस हद तक कि मध्यस्थ आर्ब्रिटेटर बन जाता है। प्रचलित पक्ष अपने वकीलों की फीस (विपणन कंपनी मध्यस्थता की प्रयोज्यता को निर्धारित करने और बाध्यकारी परिणाम को लागू करने के लिए आवश्यक सभी फीस सहित) और अपने अधिकारों की जांच और प्रवर्तन से संबंधित सभी लागतों को पुनर्प्राप्त करने का हकदार होगा। एक पार्टी को &quot;प्रचलित&quot; माना जा सकता है, भले ही वह हर दावे पर सफल न हो।

यदि किसी कारण से इन विपणन कंपनी मध्यस्थता आवश्यकताओं की संपूर्णता अप्रवर्तनीय पाई जाती है, तो आप इस अनुभाग की शुरुआत में यथा वर्णित किसी भी विवाद को हल करने के लिए सहमत हैं।

== १७. इन उपयोग की शर्तों में संशोधन ==

जिस तरह परियोजनाओं के विकास और रखरखाव के लिए विकिमीडिया समुदाय का इनपुट आवश्यक है, उसी तरह हमारा मानना है कि हमारे उपयोगकर्ताओं को ठीक से सेवा करने के लिए इन उपयोग की शर्तों के लिए सामुदायिक इनपुट आवश्यक है। यह एक समुचित अनुबंध के लिए भी आवश्यक है। इसलिए, हम इन उपयोग की शर्तों के साथ-साथ इन उपयोग की शर्तों के किसी भी महत्वपूर्ण भविष्य के संशोधन को समुदाय को टिप्पणी अवधि के अंत से कम से कम तीस (30) दिन पहले टिप्पणी के लिए प्रदान करेंगे। यदि भविष्य में प्रस्तावित संशोधन पर्याप्त है, तो हम कम से कम तीन भाषाओं (हमारे विवेक पर चयनित) में प्रस्तावित संशोधन के अनुवाद को पोस्ट करने के बाद टिप्पणियों के लिए अतिरिक्त 30 दिन प्रदान करेंगे। समुदाय को अन्य भाषाओं में प्रस्तावित संशोधन का अनुवाद करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जाएगा। कानूनी या प्रशासनिक कारणों से परिवर्तनों के लिए, गलत वक्तव्य को सही करने के लिए, या सामुदायिक टिप्पणियों के जवाब में परिवर्तन के लिए, हम कम से कम तीन (3) दिनों का नोटिस प्रदान करेंगे।

चूंकि समय-समय पर इन उपयोग की शर्तों को संशोधित करना आवश्यक हो सकता है, इसलिए हम इस तरह के संशोधनों और परियोजना वेबसाइटों के माध्यम से और [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]] पर एक अधिसूचना के माध्यम से टिप्पणी करने का अवसर प्रदान करेंगे। हालांकि, हम कहते हैं कि आप समय-समय पर इन उपयोग की शर्तों के सबसे अद्यतित संस्करण की समीक्षा करें। नई उपयोग की शर्तों के आधिकारिक होने के बाद आपकी सेवाओं का निरंतर उपयोग नोटिस और समीक्षा अवधि के बाद आप पर इन उपयोग की शर्तों की स्वीकृति देने का गठन करता है। विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन और आपके जैसे अन्य उपयोगकर्ताओं की सुरक्षा के लिए, यदि आप हमारे उपयोग की शर्तों से सहमत नहीं हैं, तो आप हमारी सेवाओं का उपयोग नहीं कर सकते हैं।

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== १८. अन्य शर्त ==

ये उपयोग की शर्तें आपके और हमारे, विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन के बीच रोजगार, एजेंसी, साझेदारी, संयुक्त नियंत्रण या संयुक्त उद्यम संबंध नहीं बनाती हैं।  यूरोपीय आर्थिक क्षेत्र कानून, यूनाइटेड किंगडम कानून, या अन्य कानून, जो एक समान अवधारणा को शामिल करते हैं, के लिए, जब आप सेवाओं का उपयोग करते हैं, तो आप फ़ाउंडेशन के अधिकार के तहत &quot;कार्य&quot; नहीं कर रहे हैं। यदि आपने हमारे साथ एक अलग समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर नहीं किए हैं, तो ये उपयोग की शर्तें आपके और हमारे बीच संपूर्ण समझौता हैं। यदि इन उपयोग की शर्तों और आपके और हमारे बीच हस्ताक्षरित लिखित समझौते के बीच कोई संघर्ष है, तो हस्ताक्षरित समझौता नियंत्रित करेगा।

आप सहमत हैं कि हम आपको ईमेल, नियमित मेल, परियोजनाओं या परियोजना वेबसाइटों पर पोस्टिंग द्वारा उपयोग की शर्तों में परिवर्तन के बारे में नोटिस प्रदान कर सकते हैं।

यदि किसी भी परिस्थिति में, हम इन उपयोग की शर्तों के किसी भी प्रावधान को लागू या प्रवर्तित नहीं करते हैं, तो यह उस प्रावधान की छूट नहीं है।

आप समझते हैं कि, जब तक अन्यथा हमारे द्वारा लिखित रूप में सहमति नहीं दी जाती है, तब तक आपको किसी भी गतिविधि, योगदान या विचार, जो आप हमें, समुदाय या परियोजनाओं या परियोजना संस्करणों को प्रदान करते हैं, के लिए मुआवजे की कोई उम्मीद नहीं रखते है।

इन उपयोग की शर्तों में विपरीत किसी भी प्रावधान के बावजूद, हम (विकिमीडिया फ़ाउंडेशन) और आप किसी भी मुफ्त लाइसेंस के लागू नियमों और आवश्यकताओं को संशोधित नहीं करने के लिए सहमत हैं जो परियोजना या परियोजना संस्करणों पर नियोजित है, जब ऐसा मुफ्त लाइसेंस इन उपयोग की शर्तों द्वारा अधिकृत किया गया है।

ये उपयोग की शर्तें अंग्रेजी (यू.एस.) में लिखी गई थीं। जबकि हम आशा करते हैं कि इन उपयोग की शर्तों के अनुवाद सटीक हैं, मूल अंग्रेजी संस्करण और अनुवाद के बीच अर्थ में किसी भी अंतर की स्थिति में, मूल अंग्रेजी संस्करण को प्राथमिकता दी जाएगी।

यदि इन उपयोग की शर्तों के प्रावधान का कोई प्रावधान या हिस्सा गैरकानूनी, शून्य या अप्रवर्तनीय पाया जाता है, तो उस प्रावधान या प्रावधान का हिस्सा इन उपयोग की शर्तों से अलग माना जाता है और अधिकतम सीमा तक लागू किया जाएगा, और इन उपयोग की शर्तों के अन्य सभी प्रावधान पूरी तरह से लागू और प्रभावी रहेंगे।

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==धन्यवाद!==

हम इन उपयोग की शर्तों को पढ़ने के लिए समय निकालने की सराहना करते हैं, और हमें आपको परियोजनाओं में योगदान देने और हमारी सेवाओं का उपयोग करने के लिए बहुत खुशी है। अपने योगदान के माध्यम से, आप वास्तव में कुछ बड़ा बनाने में मदद कर रहे हैं – न केवल सहयोगी रूप से संपादित संदर्भ परियोजनाओं का एक महत्त्वपूर्ण संग्रह जो लाखों लोगों को शिक्षा और जानकारी प्रदान करता है, जिनकी अन्यथा पहुँच में कमी हो सकती है, बल्कि समान विचारधारा वाले और व्यस्त साथियों का एक जीवंत समुदाय भी है।

'''''Imagine yon mond kote chak grenn moun ka pataje libebè tout konesans alawonnbadè. Se angajman nou.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Vizyon nou]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

Üdvözli a Wikimédia! A Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. („mi” vagy „minket” vagy „Alapítvány”) egy nonprofit jótékonysági szervezet, amelynek központja San Franciscóban, Kaliforniában, az Egyesült Államokban található, és [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|amelynek küldetése]], hogy világszerte támogassa és bevonja az embereket tartalmak gyűjtésébe és fejlesztésébe [[w:hu:Szabad licenc|térítésmentes licenc]] alapján vagy nyilvánosan hozzáférhető módon, és azokat hatékony módon és globális szinten, térítésmentesen terjessze.

Sokszínű közösségünk támogatása érdekében biztosítjuk a többnyelvű wiki projekteknek és azok kiadásainak (ahogyan azt a [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimédia projektek oldalunkon]] ismertetjük) (a továbbiakban: „Projektek”), valamint az ezen küldetést szolgáló más erőfeszítések fejlesztéséhez szükséges infrastruktúrát és szervezeti keretrendszert. Arra törekszünk, hogy a Projektek oktatási és információs tartalmait térítésmentesen, örökké elérhetővé tegyük és fenntartsuk az interneten.

Üdvözöljük Önt („Ön” vagy „felhasználó”) mint a Projektek olvasóját vagy közreműködőjét, és arra bátorítjuk, hogy csatlakozzon a Wikimédia közösséghez. Mielőtt azonban részt venne e kezdeményezésben, kérjük, olvassa el és fogadja el a következő Felhasználási feltételeket („Felhasználási feltételek”).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
A jelen Felhasználási feltételek ismertetik a Wikimédia Alapítványnál nyújtott nyilvános szolgáltatásainkat, az Önnel, mint felhasználóval fennálló kapcsolatunkat, valamint a mindkettőnk számára irányadó jogokat és kötelezettségeket. Hihetetlen mennyiségű ismeretterjesztő és tájékoztató tartalmat hosztolunk, amelyek mindegyikét az Önhöz hasonló felhasználók közreműködése teszi lehetővé. Mi általában nem működünk közre, nem kísérjük figyelemmel, illetve nem töröljük a tartalmakat (ritka kivételekkel, mint például a jelen Felhasználási feltételekhez hasonló szabályzatok szerint, jogi megfelelőség érdekében, vagy ha komoly ártalmat okozni képes közvetlen fenyegetéssel szembesülünk). Ez azt jelenti, hogy a szerkesztői ellenőrzés az Ön és a tartalmat létrehozó és kezelő többi felhasználó kezében van.

A közösség – azaz azon felhasználók hálózata, akik folyamatosan építik és használják a Projekteket és/vagy azok webhelyeit (a továbbiakban: „Projektwebhelyek”) – jelenti azt az elsődleges eszközt, amelyen keresztül a küldetés céljait elérjük. A közösség hozzájárul Projektjeinkhez és Projektwebhelyeinkhez, és segít azok irányításában. A közösség látja el azt a létfontosságú funkciót is, hogy szabályzatokat alkot és érvényesít az egyes Projekt kiadásokhoz (például a Wikipédia Projekt különböző nyelvű kiadásai vagy a Wikimédia Commons többnyelvű kiadása).

Örömmel fogadjuk az Ön, mint felhasználó csatlakozását közreműködőként, szerkesztőként vagy szerzőként, azonban Önnek be kell tartania az egyes független Projekt kiadásokra vonatkozó szabályzatokat, beleértve az [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Általános viselkedési szabályzatot]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), amely minden Projekt kiadásra vonatkozik. Legnagyobb projektünk a Wikipédia, de más Projekteket is hosztolunk, amelyek mindegyike különböző célkitűzésekkel és munkamódszerekkel rendelkezik. Minden egyes Projekt kiadás rendelkezik egy közreműködőkből, szerkesztőkből és szerzőkből álló csapattal, akik együttműködnek az adott Projekt kiadásban lévő tartalom létrehozásában és kezelésében. Örömmel vesszük, ha csatlakozik ezekhez a csapatokhoz, és együttműködik velük e Projektek fejlesztése érdekében. Mivel elkötelezettek vagyunk amellett, hogy a tartalmat szabadon elérhetővé tegyük a nyilvánosság számára, az Ön által szolgáltatott tartalmat térítésmentes licenc alapján elérhetővé tesszük vagy nyilvánosan hozzáférhetővé tesszük.

Kérjük, vegye figyelembe, hogy az Amerikai Egyesült Államok törvényei és más alkalmazandó törvények (beleértve az Ön vagy a hozzájárulás tárgyának tartózkodási helye szerinti törvényeket is) értelmében Ön jogi felelősséggel tartozik minden hozzájárulásáért, szerkesztéséért és a Wikimédia-tartalom újrafelhasználásáért. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a tartalom közzététele, módosítása vagy újrafelhasználása során körültekintően kell eljárnia. Ennek a felelősségnek a fényében van néhány szabályunk arra vonatkozóan, hogy Ön mit nem tehet, amely szabályok többsége vagy az Ön saját védelmét, vagy az Önhöz hasonló más felhasználók védelmét szolgálja. Kérjük, ne feledje, hogy az általunk hosztolt tartalom általános tájékoztatási célokat szolgál, ezért ha egy adott kérdésben (például orvosi, jogi vagy pénzügyi kérdésekben) szakértői tanácsra van szüksége, forduljon megfelelő szakemberhez. Más fontos közleményeket és jogi nyilatkozatokat is mellékelünk, ezért kérjük, teljes egészében olvassa el a jelen Felhasználási feltételeket.

Az egyértelműség kedvéért: előfordulhatnak más szervezetek, mint például [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|helyi Wikimédia szervezetek]] és egyesületek, amelyek ugyanabban a küldetésben osztoznak, ettől függetlenül azok jogilag mégis önállóak és függetlenek a Wikimédia Alapítványtól. Hacsak az Alapítvány egy adott Projektwebhelyen jogosult félként másként nem rendelkezik, ezek az egyéb szervezetek nem felelősek a Projektwebhely működéséért vagy annak tartalmáért.

==1. Szolgáltatásaink==

A Wikimédia Alapítvány elkötelezett amellett, hogy ösztönözze a térítésmentesen elérhető többnyelvű tartalom terjedelmének növelését, fejlesztését és terjesztését, valamint, hogy térítésmentesen hosztolja a wiki alapú Projektek teljes tartalmát a nyilvánosság számára. A mi szerepünk az, hogy a világ legnagyobb, együttműködő alapon szerkesztett referenciaprojektjeit hosztoljuk, [//www.wikimedia.org amelyek itt találhatók]: . Mi azonban csak hoszting szolgáltatóként járunk el, amely fenntartja az infrastruktúrát és a szervezeti keretrendszert. Ez az infrastruktúra és keretrendszer lehetővé teszi felhasználóink számára a Projektek fejlesztését azáltal, hogy ők saját maguk tartalmakat szolgáltatnak és szerkesztenek. Lehetővé teszi továbbá, hogy felhasználóink újrafelhasználják ezt a tartalmat. Az általunk fenntartott infrastruktúra magában foglal egy olyan speciális technológiai infrastruktúrát, amely lehetővé teszi a felhasználók számára, hogy programozásszerűen kommunikáljanak és újrafelhasználják a projektek tartalmát (a továbbiakban: „Alkalmazásprogramozási Felület” vagy „API-k”), valamint mobilalkalmazásokat.

Szolgáltatásaink a Felhasználási feltételek további részében használt értelmük szerint a következőkből állnak: [//www.wikimedia.org A Projektwebhelyek, amelyeket hosztolunk], az általunk fenntartott technológiai infrastruktúra, valamint minden olyan műszaki terület, amelyet Projektjeink karbantartása és fejlesztése céljából üzemeltetünk.

Egyedi szerepünk miatt van néhány dolog, amelyekre oda kell figyelnie a mi Önnel, a Projektekkel és más felhasználókkal fennálló kapcsolatunk tekintetében:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Mi nem vállalunk szerkesztői szerepet:''' Mivel a Projektek szerkesztése együttműködő alapon történik, az általunk hosztolt tartalom túlnyomó részét a felhasználók biztosítják, és mi nem vállalunk szerkesztői szerepet. Ez azt jelenti, hogy általában nem kísérjük figyelemmel és nem szerkesztjük a Projektwebhelyek tartalmát, és nem vállalunk felelősséget ezért a tartalomért. Hasonlóképpen, hacsak kifejezetten másként nem rendelkezünk, nem hagyjuk jóvá a szolgáltatásainkon keresztül kifejezett véleményeket, továbbá nem képviseljük és nem garantáljuk a Projekteken keresztül benyújtott közösségi tartalom hitelességét, pontosságát vagy megbízhatóságát.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Saját cselekedeteiért Ön a felelős''' Ön jogilag felelős a Projektekben végzett szerkesztéseiért és hozzájárulásaiért, a Projektekben található tartalmak újrafelhasználásáért, az API-k Ön általi használatáért, illetve általánosabban szólva a szolgáltatásaink használatáért. Az Ön saját védelme érdekében legyen óvatos, és kerülje az olyan cselekményeket, amelyek bármely alkalmazandó jogrendszer alapján büntetőjogi vagy polgári jogi felelősséget vonhatnak maguk után. Az egyértelműség kedvéért: az alkalmazandó jogszabályok közé legalább az Amerikai Egyesült Államok és Kalifornia állam jogszabályai tartoznak. Más országok esetében ezt eseti alapon lehet meghatározni. Bár előfordulhat, hogy nem értünk egyet az ilyen intézkedésekkel, mi figyelmeztetjük a felhasználókat – különösen a szerkesztőket, közreműködőket és szerzőket –, hogy a nem USA-beli hatóságok más országbeli jogszabályokat is megpróbálhatnak alkalmazni Önre, beleértve az Ön lakóhelye szerinti, illetve a tartalom megtekintésének vagy szerkesztésének helye szerinti helyi jogszabályokat. Mi általában nem tudunk semmilyen védelmet, garanciát, mentességet vagy kártalanítást nyújtani az ilyen jogszabályok alkalmazása ellen.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

==4. Tartózkodás bizonyos tevékenységektől==

A Wikimédia Alapítvány által üzemeltetett Projektek csak az Önhöz hasonló felhasználók sokszínű közösségének köszönhetően léteznek, akik együttműködnek a tartalom írásában, szerkesztésében és gondozásában. Örömmel üdvözöljük az Ön részvételét ebben a közösségben. Javasoljuk, hogy legyen kulturált és udvarias a közösségben másokkal folytatott interakciói során, cselekedjen jóhiszeműen, és a közös Projekt küldetésének előmozdítása érdekében végezze szerkesztéseit és hozzájárulásait. Arra kérjük a felhasználókat, hogy tanulmányozzák és kövessék az [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Általános viselkedési szabályzatot]] („UCoC”), amely meghatározza a kollegiális, udvarias együttműködés követelményeit az általunk üzemeltetett összes projekt vonatkozásában.

Bizonyos tevékenységek – legyenek azok akár jogszerűek, akár jogellenesek az alkalmazandó jogszabályok szerint –, ártalmasak lehetnek más felhasználókra nézve, és sérthetik szabályainkat, egyes tevékenységek miatt pedig Önt felelősségre is vonhatják. Ezért az Ön saját védelme és más felhasználók védelme érdekében Ön nem vehet részt ilyen tevékenységekben Projektjeinkben, illetve Projektjeink egyéb módon történő felhasználásával. Ezek a tevékenységek többek között a következők:

:'''Mások zaklatása és bántalmazása'''
::* Fenyegetések, üldözés, spamelés, vandalizmus vagy zaklatás az UCoC-ban leírtak szerint;
::* Lánclevél, levélszemét vagy spam továbbítása más felhasználóknak;
::* Tartalom közzététele vagy módosítása azzal a szándékkal, hogy súlyos kárt okozzon másoknak, mint például szándékos önkárosításra való ösztönzés vagy epilepszia szándékos kiváltása.
:'''Mások magánszférájának megsértése'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Mások adatvédelmi jogainak megsértése az Amerikai Egyesült Államok jogszabályai vagy más alkalmazandó jogszabályok szerint (amelyek magukban foglalhatják azon joghatóságok jogszabályait, ahol Ön él, vagy ahol tartalmat tekint meg vagy szerkeszt);
::* Személyazonosításra alkalmas adatok kérése zaklatás, hasznosítás vagy a magánszféra megsértése céljából, illetve a Wikimédia Alapítvány által kifejezetten jóvá nem hagyott bármely promóciós vagy kereskedelmi célból; és
::* Személyazonosításra alkalmas adatok kérése bárkitől, aki 18 év alatti vagy az Ön tartózkodási helye szerint a nagykorúsági korhatár alatti személy, ha az 18 évnél idősebb korhatárt jelent, jogellenes célból, vagy a kiskorúak egészségére vagy jóllétére vonatkozó bármely alkalmazandó jogszabály megsértésével.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Hamis nyilatkozatok, megszemélyesítés vagy csalás alkalmazása'''
::* Az Amerikai Egyesült Államok jogszabályai szerint becsületsértésnek vagy rágalmazásnak minősülő tartalom szándékos vagy tudatos közzététele;
::* Tartalom közzététele vagy módosítása mások megtévesztése vagy félrevezetése céljából;
::* Más felhasználó vagy magánszemély megszemélyesítésének megkísérlése, bármely személlyel vagy szervezettel való kapcsolatának megtévesztő módon történő bemutatása, az Ön és bármely személy vagy szervezet közötti kapcsolat elrejtése, ha ennek közlését a jelen feltételek vagy helyi Projektszabályzat előírja, illetve másik személy nevének vagy felhasználónevének felhasználása megtévesztés céljából; és
::* Csalásban való részvétel.
:'''Szellemi tulajdonjogok megsértésének elkövetése'''
::* Az alkalmazandó jogszabályok alapján fennálló szerzői jogok, védjegyek, szabadalmak vagy egyéb tulajdonjogok megsértése.

::* Gyermekpornográfia vagy bármely más olyan tartalom közzététele, amely sérti a gyermekpornográfiára vagy a gyermekek szexuális kizsákmányolására vonatkozó jogszabályokat, vagy mások ilyen anyagok létrehozására vagy megosztására való ösztönzése, befolyásolása vagy támogatása;
::* Olyan obszcén anyagok közzététele vagy az azokkal való kereskedés, amely az alkalmazandó jogszabályok szerint jogellenes; és
::* A szolgáltatásoknak az alkalmazandó jogszabályokkal ellentétes módon történő használata.
:'''Létesítmények használatával való zavaró és jogellenes visszaélés'''
::* Olyan tartalom közzététele vagy terjesztése, amely vírusokat, rosszindulatú programokat, férgeket, trójai programokat, rosszindulatú kódokat vagy olyan egyéb eszközöket tartalmaz, amelyek kárt tehetnek műszaki infrastruktúránkban vagy rendszerünkben, illetve más felhasználók rendszerében;
::* A Projektwebhelyek olyan automatizált használata, amely sértő vagy zavaró a szolgáltatásokat illetően, sérti az elfogadható használatra vonatkozó szabályzatokat, ha vannak ilyenek, vagy amelyet a Wikimédia közösség nem hagyott jóvá;
::* A szolgáltatások megzavarása oly módon, hogy indokolatlan terhelést helyeznek egy API-ra, Projektwebhelyre vagy egy adott Projektwebhelyhez kapcsolódó hálózatokra vagy kiszolgálókra;
::* A szolgáltatások megzavarása a Projektwebhelyek bármelyikének olyan mértékű kommunikációval vagy egyéb forgalommal való elárasztásával, amely arra utal, hogy a Projektwebhelyet nem annak rendeltetésszerű céljára szándékozzák használni;
::* Számítógépes rendszereinkben bármely nem nyilvános területünk tudatos elérése, manipulálása vagy használata engedély nélkül; és
::* Műszaki rendszereink vagy hálózataink sebezhetőségének mérése, szkennelése vagy tesztelése, kivéve, ha az alábbi feltételek mindegyike teljesül:

:::*az ilyen intézkedések nem személyes haszonszerzésre irányulnak (kivéve az Ön munkájáért járó elismerést);
:::*Ön minden sebezhetőséget jelent az érintett fejlesztőknek (vagy saját maga javítja ki azokat); és
:::*Ön az ilyen intézkedéseket nem rosszindulatú vagy romboló szándékkal teszi.

::*egy nyilatkozat az Ön felhasználói oldalán,
::*a fizetett közreműködéseket kísérő nyilatkozat a vitaoldalon, vagy
::*a fizetett közreműködéseket kísérő nyilatkozat a szerkesztési összefoglalóban.

::Az alkalmazandó jogszabályok, illetve a Projektspecifikus szabályzatok és az Alapítvány szabályzatai és irányelvei, például az összeférhetetlenségek kezelésére vonatkozó irányelvek tovább korlátozhatják a fizetett hozzájárulásokat, vagy részletesebb közzétételt igényelhetnek. Például a Wikimédia Védjegyek (meghatározását lásd később a 6. szakaszban) megsértése fizetett szerkesztési szolgáltatások reklámozása céljából, a korábban megfelelően közzétett, fizetett szerkesztésekkel, vagy a kijelentkezett, fizetett szerkesztéssel kapcsolatos közzétételek oly módon történő eltávolítása, amely a megfelelő közzétételt gyakorlatilag lehetetlenné teszi, sérti ezt a szakaszt.
::* A Wikimédia Projekt közössége elfogadhat egy alternatív fizetett hozzájárulás közzétételi szabályzatot, amely kiegészítheti ezt a szakaszt, vagy annak helyébe léphet. Ha egy Projekt alternatív közzétételi szabályzatot fogad el, akkor az adott Projektben való közreműködés esetén Ön a jelen („Fizetett közreműködések közzététel nélkül” című) szakaszban foglalt követelmények helyett azon szabályzat szerint járhat el.

Bár Ön jelentős szabadsággal rendelkezik a Projektwebhelyek tartalmának újrafelhasználása tekintetében, fontos, hogy mi a Wikimédia Alapítványnál védjük védjegyjogainkat annak érdekében, hogy megvédhessük felhasználóinkat a csalárd megszemélyesítőktől.

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Tartalom licencelése==

A szabad tudás és a szabad kultúra közbirtokosságának gyarapítása érdekében a Projektekhez vagy a Projektwebhelyekhez hozzájáruló összes felhasználónak széles körű engedélyt kell adnia a nyilvánosság számára ahhoz, hogy az általuk szolgáltatott tartalmat szabadon továbbterjeszthessék és újra felhasználhassák, feltéve, hogy a felhasználáshoz megfelelő forrásmegjelölést fűznek, és minden származtatott mű újrafelhasználása és továbbterjesztése vonatkozásában ugyanazt a szabadságot megadják. Annak érdekében, hogy a lehető legszélesebb közönség számára térítésmentes információkat juttathassunk, megköveteljük, hogy szükség esetén minden beküldött tartalom licencelése úgy történjen, hogy azok bárki számára szabadon újrafelhasználhatók legyenek.

Ön elfogadja a következő licencelési követelményeket:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Szöveg, melyre vonatkozóan a szerzői jog Önt illeti:''' Amikor olyan szöveget küld be, melyre vonatkozóan a szerzői jog Önt illeti, Ön vállalja, hogy a következő feltételek szerint licenceli azt:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), és
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (verzió nélküli, invariáns szakaszok, első borító vagy hátsó borító szövegek nélkül).

Az újrafelhasználók bármelyik licencnek vagy mindkettőnek megfelelhetnek.&lt;br /&gt;
Az egyetlen kivétel az, ha a Projekt kiadás vagy funkció más licencet ír elő. Ebben az esetben Ön vállalja, hogy az Ön által szolgáltatott szöveget a Projekt kiadás vagy a funkció által előírt konkrét licenc alapján licenceli.

Felhívjuk figyelmét, hogy ezek a licencek lehetővé teszik az Ön hozzájárulásainak kereskedelmi célú felhasználását, feltéve, hogy ezek a felhasználások megfelelnek az adott licencek feltételeinek. Amennyiben Ön a CC BY-SA 4.0 hatálya alá tartozó Sui Generis Adatbázis jogok tulajdonosa, Ön lemond ezekről a jogokról. Például ez azt jelenti, hogy a projektekhez Ön által szolgáltatott tények szabadon újra felhasználhatók forrásmegjelölés nélkül.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Forrásmegjelölés:''' A forrásmegjelölés fontos részét képezi ezeknek a licenceknek. Úgy gondoljuk, hogy illik elismerést adni ott, ahol elismerés jár – az Önhöz hasonló szerzőknek. Amikor szöveget szolgáltat, Ön beleegyezik abba, hogy az alábbi módok valamelyike szerint forrásmegjelöléssel feltüntessék:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hiperlinken (ha lehetséges) vagy URL-en keresztül, amely arra a cikkre mutat, amelyhez Ön hozzájárult (mivel minden cikkhez tartozik egy előzményoldal, amely felsorolja az összes közreműködőt, szerzőt és szerkesztőt);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hiperlinken (ha lehetséges) vagy URL-en keresztül, amely egy alternatív, stabil online másolatra mutat, amely szabadon elérhető, és amely megfelel a vonatkozó licencnek, és amely a Projektwebhelyen megadott elismeréssel egyenértékű elismerést nyújt a szerzőknek; vagy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Az összes szerzőt felsoroló lista útján (azonban kérjük, vegye figyelembe, hogy a szerzők bármely listája szűrhető a nagyon kicsi vagy irreleváns hozzájárulások kizárása érdekében).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Szöveg importálása:'''  Ön importálhat olyan szöveget, amelyet máshol talált, vagy amelyet társszerzőként jegyez másokkal, de ebben az esetben Ön kijelenti és szavatolja, hogy a szöveg a CC BY-SA-val kompatibilis feltételek szerint elérhető (vagy a fent ismertetettek szerint egy másik licenc alapján, ha a Projekt kiadása vagy funkció kivételesen azt írja elő). A kompatibilis licencek listáját lásd: [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Ön nem importálhat olyan tartalmat, amely kizárólag a GFDL alapján érhető el.&lt;br /&gt;

Ön elfogadja, hogy ha olyan CC licenc alapján importál szöveget, amely forrásmegjelölést ír elő, akkor észszerű módon fel kell tüntetnie a szerzőt(ket). Ha az ilyen elismerés általában oldalelőzmények (például Wikimédia-belső másolás) útján történik, elegendő a szöveg importálásakor a szerkesztési összefoglalóban elvégezni a forrásmegjelölést, amely az előzményoldalon kerül rögzítésre. A forrásmegjelölési követelmények néha túlságosan tolakodóak bizonyos körülmények között (licenctől függetlenül), és előfordulhatnak olyan esetek, amikor a Wikimédia közösség úgy dönt, hogy az importált szöveg ezen okból nem használható fel.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nem szöveges média:''' A Projektek nem szöveges médiái számos különböző licenc alapján érhetők el, amelyek támogatják a korlátlan újrafelhasználás és továbbterjesztés általános célját. Amikor nem szöveges médiát ad hozzá, Ön vállalja, hogy betartja az ilyen licencekre vonatkozó követelményeket a [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licencelési szabályzatunkban]] leírtak szerint, és betartja az Ön közreműködésével érintett konkrét Projekt kiadás vagy funkció követelményeit is. A nem szöveges média Wikimédia Commons részére való szolgáltatásával kapcsolatban további információkért tekintse meg a [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimédia Commons licencelési szabályzatát]] is.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''A licenc visszavonásának kizárása:''' Kivéve azon eseteket, amikor ez az Ön licencével összhangban áll, Ön vállalja, hogy a jelen Felhasználási feltételek alapján a Projektekhez vagy funkciókhoz szolgáltatott szöveges tartalomra vagy nem szöveges médiára vonatkozóan Ön által megadott licenceket nem vonja vissza egyoldalúan, illetve nem kéri azok érvénytelenítését, még akkor sem, ha abbahagyja szolgáltatásaink használatát.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Köztulajdonban lévő tartalom:''' A köztulajdonban lévő tartalmakat szívesen fogadjuk. Fontos azonban, hogy Ön megerősítse a köztulajdonban lévő tartalom ilyen státuszát az Amerikai Egyesült Államok jogszabályai, valamint bármely más ország jogszabályai alapján, az adott Projekt kiadás előírásai szerint. Amikor Ön köztulajdonban lévő tartalmakat szolgáltat, Ön szavatolja, hogy az anyag ténylegesen nyilvánosan hozzáférhető, és vállalja, hogy megfelelően felcímkézi azt.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Újrafelhasználás:''' Az általunk hosztolt tartalmak újrafelhasználását örömmel vesszük, bár léteznek kivételek a „tisztességes felhasználás” vagy az alkalmazandó szerzői jogi jogszabályok által biztosított hasonló kivételek alapján szolgáltatott tartalmakra vonatkozóan. Minden újrafelhasználásnak meg kell felelnie az alapul szolgáló licenc(ek)nek.&lt;br /&gt;

A Wikimédia közösség által létrehozott szöveges oldal újrafelhasználása vagy továbbterjesztése esetén Ön vállalja, hogy a szerzőket bármely alábbi módon forrásmegjelölés útján feltünteti:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hiperlinken (ha lehetséges) vagy URL-en keresztül, amely arra az oldalra vagy oldalakra mutat, amelyet Ön újrafelhasznál (mivel minden oldalhoz tartozik egy előzményoldal, amely felsorolja az összes közreműködőt, szerzőt és szerkesztőt);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hiperlinken (ha lehetséges) vagy URL-en keresztül, amely egy alternatív, stabil online másolatra mutat, amely szabadon elérhető, és amely megfelel a licencnek, és amely a Projektwebhelyen megadott elismeréssel egyenértékű elismerést nyújt a szerzőknek; vagy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Az összes szerzőt felsoroló lista útján (azonban kérjük, vegye figyelembe, hogy a szerzők bármely listája szűrhető a nagyon kicsi vagy irreleváns hozzájárulások kizárása érdekében).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Ha a szöveges tartalmat más forrásból importálták, lehetséges, hogy a tartalom egy kompatibilis CC BY-SA licenc alapján, de nem a GFDL alapján van licencelve (a fenti „Szöveg importálása” szakaszban leírtak szerint). Ebben az esetben Ön vállalja, hogy betartja a kompatibilis CC BY-SA licencet, és nem rendelkezik azzal a lehetőséggel, hogy azt a GFDL alapján újralicencelje. Az újrafelhasználni vagy továbbterjeszteni kívánt tartalomra vonatkozó licenc meghatározásához tanulmányozza az oldal láblécét, az oldalelőzményeket és a vitaoldalt.

Továbbá kérjük, vegye figyelembe, hogy a külső forrásokból származó és egy Projektbe importált szöveg olyan licenc alá is tartozhat, amely további forrásmegjelölési követelményeket is tartalmaz. A felhasználók vállalják, hogy egyértelműen feltüntetik ezeket a további forrásmegjelölési követelményeket. Az adott Projekttől függően ezek a követelmények megjelenhetnek például egy szalagcímben vagy más olyan jelölésekben, amelyek rámutatnak arra, hogy a tartalom egy része vagy egésze eredetileg máshol jelent meg. Ahol ilyen látható jelölések találhatók, az újrafelhasználóknak meg kell őrizniük azokat.

Ön vállalja, hogy minden nem szöveges média esetében betartja azt a vonatkozó licencet, amely alapján a művet elérhetővé tették (amelyet a műre kattintva és a leírási oldalon lévő licenc szakaszban vagy az adott mű vonatkozó forrásoldalának áttekintésével találhat meg). Az általunk hosztolt bármely tartalom újrafelhasználása során Ön vállalja, hogy betartja a mögöttes licencre vagy licencekre vonatkozóan releváns forrásmegjelölési követelményeket.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Az Ön által újrafelhasznált anyag módosításai vagy kiegészítései:''' Amikor a Projektwebhelyről beszerzett szöveget módosítja vagy kiegészíti, Ön vállalja, hogy a módosított vagy hozzáadott tartalmat a CC BY-SA 4.0 vagy újabb verziója szerint licenceli (vagy a fent ismertetettek szerint egy másik licenc szerint, ha az adott Projekt kiadás vagy funkció kivételesen azt követeli meg).&lt;br /&gt;

Amikor a Projektwebhelyről beszerzett nem szöveges médiát módosít vagy egészít ki, Ön vállalja, hogy a módosított vagy hozzáadott tartalmat azon licenc szerint licenceli, amely alapján a művet elérhetővé tették.&lt;br /&gt;

Ön vállalja, hogy mind a szöveges tartalom, mind a nem szöveges média esetében egyértelműen feltünteti, hogy az eredeti mű módosult. Ha szöveges tartalmat újrafelhasznál egy wikiben, elegendő jelezni az oldalelőzményekben, hogy módosította az importált szöveget. Ön vállalja, hogy minden Ön által terjesztett másolathoz vagy módosított verzióhoz mellékel egy licencelési közleményt, amely meghatározza, hogy a mű kiadása mely licenc alapján történt, valamint a licenc szövegére vagy magára a licencre mutató hiperlinket vagy URL-t.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

A Wikimédia Alapítvány biztosítani kívánja, hogy az általunk tárolt tartalmakat más felhasználók is újra felhasználhassák anélkül, hogy felelősségre vonástól kellene tartaniuk, és hogy azok ne sértsék mások tulajdonosi jogait. A felhasználóinkkal, valamint más alkotókkal és szerzői jog jogosultakkal szembeni méltányosság jegyében az a politikánk, hogy válaszolunk a Digitális Millennium Szerzői Jogi Törvény (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA) rendelkezéseinek megfelelő, állítólagos jogsértésekre vonatkozó értesítésekre. A DMCA-val összhangban és megfelelő körülmények között megszüntetjük a rendszerünk és hálózatunk azon felhasználói és fióktulajdonosait, akik ismételten megsértik a projektjeinket és szolgáltatásainkat.

Ugyanakkor azt is elismerjük, hogy nem minden eltávolításról szóló értesítés érvényes vagy jóhiszemű. Ilyen esetekben nyomatékosan bátorítjuk a felhasználókat arra, hogy nyújtsanak be ellenértesítéseket, ha úgy vélik, hogy a DMCA szerinti levételi igény érvénytelen vagy nem helyénvaló. Ha többet szeretne megtudni arról, hogy mit kell tennie, ha úgy gondolja, hogy nem helyénvaló módon nyújtottak be DMCA szerinti értesítést, tekintse meg a [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen adatbázis] webhelyet.

Ha Ön olyan tartalom tulajdonosa, amelyet valamely Projekten az Ön engedélye nélkül, nem helyénvaló módon használtak fel, akkor a DMCA szerint benyújtott értesítés útján kérheti a tartalom eltávolítását. Ilyen kérés benyújtása érdekében küldjön e-mailt a {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} címre, vagy küldjön [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|postai levelet kijelölt képviselőnknek]].

Másik megoldásként kérést nyújthat be közösségünkhöz, amely gyakran gyorsabban és hatékonyabban kezeli a szerzői jogi ügyeket, mint a DMCA keretében előírt eljárás. Ebben az esetben közzétehet egy értesítést, amelyben kifejti szerzői jogi aggályait. A különböző Projekt kiadások releváns folyamatainak nem teljes és nem hivatalos listája a [[:m:Copyright problems|Szerzői jogi problémák oldalon]] található. A DMCA szerinti igény benyújtása előtt lehetősége van arra is, hogy e-mailt küldjön a közösségnek az {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} címre.

== 9. Harmadik felek webhelyei és erőforrásai ==

A harmadik felek webhelyeinek vagy erőforrásainak Ön által felhasználásáért kizárólag Ön felelős. Bár a Projektek és a Projektwebhelyek harmadik felek webhelyeire és erőforrásaira mutató linkeket tartalmaznak, mi nem támogatjuk ezeket, és nem vállalunk felelősséget azok elérhetőségéért, pontosságáért vagy a kapcsolódó tartalmakért, termékekért vagy szolgáltatásokért (korlátozás nélkül beleértve bármely vírust vagy más letiltó funkciót), és nem vagyunk kötelesek figyelemmel kísérni az ilyen harmadik fél tartalmakat.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Webhelyek kezelése ==

A különböző projektkiadásokra vonatkozó szabályzatok megalkotásában és betartatásában a közösségnek van elsődleges szerepe. Mi a Wikimédia Alapítványnál ritkán avatkozunk be a szabályzatokkal és azok végrehajtásával kapcsolatos közösségi döntésekbe.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ön értesíthet minket a jogellenes tartalmakról, illetve a Felhasználási feltételeinket (beleértve az összes szabályzatot és a hivatkozás útján beépített egyéb dokumentumokat is) más okból sértő tartalmakról, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|ha közvetlenül kapcsolatba lép velünk]]. Általában azonban közvetlenül a Projekt közössége felé is benyújthat kérést: ez hatékonyabb lehet, és jobban összeegyeztethető a Projektjeink azon céljával, hogy a felhasználói közösségnek hatásköröket biztosítsunk.
&lt;/div&gt;


Az egyes Projektek általában „Súgó” vagy „Kapcsolat” oldalakkal rendelkeznek, ahol további útmutatás vagy konkrét eszközök találhatók a problémák jelentése céljából. Másik lehetőségként – ha kétségei vannak – segítséget kérhet a közösség tagjaitól, ha e-mailt küld az {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} címre, vagy egy nyelvspecifikusabb címre, amelyet az [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Önkéntes ügyfélszolgálat oldalán talál]]. Felhívjuk figyelmét, hogy ezeket a postafiókokat a Projektek felhasználói, nem pedig az Alapítvány felhasználói felügyelik. Ennek eredményeként nem szabad őket jogi követelésekkel fenyegetni, vagy ellenük ilyet benyújtani.

Ha egy probléma miatt kapcsolatba lép az Alapítvánnyal, általában megvizsgáljuk, hogy a probléma a közösség által vezérelt meglévő mechanizmusok útján kivizsgálható-e, és adott esetben megoldható-e.

Ritka esetekben a közösség megkövetelhet vagy kérhet tőlünk, hogy foglalkozzunk egy különösen problémás felhasználóval vagy különösen problémás tartalommal a projekt jelentős fennakadása vagy veszélyes viselkedése miatt. Ilyen esetekben fenntartjuk a jogot, hogy saját belátásunk szerint (vagy ahol a törvény előírja):

* Kivizsgáljuk a Projektek vagy szolgáltatásaink Ön általi használatát (a) annak megállapítása érdekében, hogy a jelen Felhasználási feltételek, a Projekt kiadás szabályzata vagy más alkalmazandó jogszabály vagy szabályzat megsértése történt-e, vagy (b) bármely alkalmazandó jogszabálynak, jogi eljárásnak vagy megfelelő kormányzati kérésnek való megfelelés érdekében;
* Észleljük, megelőzzük vagy egyéb módon kezeljük a csalást, hamis vagy ellenőrizhetetlen információkat, biztonsági vagy műszaki problémákat, illetve reagáljunk a felhasználói támogatási kérésekre;
* Megtagadjuk, visszavonjuk, letiltsuk vagy korlátozzuk bármely olyan felhasználó által szolgáltatott tartalmakhoz való hozzáférést, aki megsérti a jelen Felhasználási feltételeket;
* Megtiltsuk valamely felhasználónak a szerkesztést vagy közreműködést, vagy blokkoljuk valamely felhasználó fiókját vagy hozzáférését a jelen Felhasználási feltételeket sértő cselekmények miatt, beleértve a vonatkozó jogszabályok értelmében jogellenes anyagok ismételt közzétételét, az emberi jogi elvekkel összhangban;
* Jogi lépéseket tegyünk azon felhasználók ellen, akik megsértik a jelen Felhasználási feltételeket (beleértve a bűnüldöző hatóságoknak tett bejelentéseket is); és
* A Projektwebhelyeket egyébként oly módon kezeljük, amely elősegíti azok megfelelő működését, és védi saját magunk, felhasználóink, licencbeadóink, partnereink és a nyilvánosság jogait, tulajdonát és biztonságát.

Az Alapítvány ezen moderálási tevékenységeinek információval való ellátása vagy végrehajtása szoftverekkel is történhet (például a forgalommal való elárasztás („Denial of Service”) támadások elleni védelem). Ezekben az esetekben általában emberi felülvizsgálat is elérhető [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|kérésre]].

Felhasználóink és a Projektek érdekében abban a szélsőséges esetben, ha a jelen szakasz alapján bármely egyén fiókja vagy hozzáférése zárolásra kerül, tilos másik fiókot létrehoznia vagy használnia, illetve hozzáférést kérnie ugyanazon projekthez, kivéve, ha erre kifejezett engedélyt adunk. A közösség jogosultságának korlátozása nélkül maga az Alapítvány nem fog eltiltani valamely felhasználót a szerkesztéstől vagy közreműködéstől, illetve nem fogja blokkolni valamely felhasználó fiókját vagy hozzáférését kizárólag olyan jóhiszemű kritika miatt, amely nem eredményez a jelen Felhasználási feltételek vagy a közösségi szabályzatok egyébként történő megsértését jelentő cselekményeket.

A Wikimédia közösség és annak tagjai is tehetnek intézkedéseket, ha azt a közösség vagy az adott Projekt kiadásra vonatkozó vagy Alapítványi szabályzatok megengedik, beleértve többek között az ezen szabályzatokat megsértő felhasználók figyelmeztetését, kivizsgálását, blokkolását vagy letiltását. Ön vállalja, hogy betartja azon vitarendezési testületek végleges döntéseit, amelyeket a közösség hozott létre az adott projekt kiadásokra vonatkozóan (például választottbírósági bizottságok); ezek a döntések szankciókat is tartalmazhatnak az adott Projekt kiadás szabályzatában meghatározottak szerint.

Különösen az olyan problémás felhasználók, akiknek fiókját vagy hozzáférését több Projekt kiadásban zárolták, eltilthatók az összes Projekt kiadásra vonatkozóan, a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Globális letiltási szabályzattal]] összhangban. Az igazgatóság határozataival vagy a jelen Felhasználási feltételekkel ellentétben a közösség által létrehozott, egyetlen Projekt kiadásra vagy akár több Projekt kiadásra kiterjedő szabályzatokat (mint például a Globális letiltási szabályzat), az érintett közösség saját eljárásai szerint módosíthatja.

Valamely fiók vagy hozzáférés blokkolása vagy valamely felhasználó letiltása e rendelkezés szerint a jelen Felhasználási feltételek 13. szakaszával összhangban kell történjen.

Ha úgy gondolja, hogy nem jártunk el kielégítően egy problémás tartalom bejelentésével kapcsolatban, vagy ha az Alapítvány olyan moderációs intézkedést alkalmazott Ön ellen, amelyet kifogásolni kíván, lehetséges, hogy [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|fellebbezést nyújthat be]]. A fellebbezési útvonalakkal kapcsolatos egyéb információkról tájékoztatást kaphat az adott időpontban, vagy a Projektspecifikus súgóoldalakon.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Fenntartjuk a jogot arra, hogy (ideiglenesen vagy véglegesen) felfüggesszük a felhasználóktól vagy harmadik felektől kapott olyan jelentések vagy egyéb levelezések kezelését, amelyek állítólagosan jogellenes vagy más módon problémás tartalomról vagy magatartásról szólnak, vagy moderálási intézkedések elleni fellebbezést kérnek, ha az ilyen levelezést rosszhiszeműen, ismétlődően, megalapozatlanul és/vagy visszaélésszerűen végezték. Megfelelő körülmények között e-mail-címét akár blokkolhatjuk is az e-mail rendszerünkben (rendszereinkben), és ezt követően Önnek a [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|postacímünkön]] keresztül kell kapcsolatba lépnie velünk, ha a blokkolást követően továbbra is levelezni szeretne velünk. Kevésbé súlyos esetekben (pl. legfeljebb három udvarias e-mail egy vagy több megalapozatlan panaszra vonatkozóan) ez valószínűleg átmeneti lesz. A gyakoribb vagy visszaélésszerűbb kommunikáció nagyobb valószínűséggel vezet végleges intézkedésekhez.

Az API-k használatával Ön vállalja, hogy betartja az API-k használatát szabályozó összes alkalmazandó szabályzatot, beleértve többek között a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Felhasználó-ügynök szabályzatot]], a [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot szabályzatot]] és az [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etikettet]] (együttesen „API Dokumentáció”), amelyek hivatkozás útján a jelen Felhasználási feltételek részét képezik.

== 13. Megszűnés ==

Bár reméljük, hogy továbbra is hozzájárul a Projektekhez, Ön bármikor abbahagyhatja szolgáltatásaink használatát. Bizonyos (remélhetőleg valószínűtlen) körülmények között szükségessé válhat, hogy akár saját magunk, akár a Wikimédia közösség vagy annak tagjai (a 10. szakaszban leírtak szerint) megszüntessék szolgáltatásaink egy részét vagy egészét, megszüntessék a jelen Felhasználási feltételeket, blokkolják az Ön fiókját vagy hozzáférését, vagy letiltsák Önt, mint felhasználót. Ha az Ön fiókját vagy hozzáférését bármilyen okból blokkolják vagy más módon megszüntetik, ez (az alkalmazandó szabályzatoktól függően) nem érinti az Ön által szolgáltatott nyilvános tartalmakat és a Projektekkel kapcsolatos tevékenységeiről szóló nyilvántartást (beleértve az Ön által nekünk küldött levelezéseket is), és Ön továbbra is hozzáférhet nyilvános oldalainkhoz, kizárólag a Projektek nyilvánosan elérhető tartalmainak olvasása céljából. Ilyen körülmények között azonban előfordulhat, hogy nem tud hozzáférni fiókjához vagy beállításaihoz. A jelen Felhasználási feltételek bármely más rendelkezésétől függetlenül azonban fenntartjuk a jogot arra, hogy a szolgáltatásokat bármikor, indoklással vagy anélkül, értesítéssel vagy anélkül felfüggesszük vagy megszüntessük. A jelen Felhasználási feltételek az Ön általi használat és részvétel letiltása, blokkolása vagy egyéb módon történő felfüggesztése után is érvényben maradnak a vonatkozó rendelkezések tekintetében, beleértve az 1., 3., 4., 6., 7., 9-16. és 18. szakaszt.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Kiemelve a hangsúly kedvéért''

Reméljük, hogy nem merül fel Önnel semmiféle komoly nézeteltérés, de vitás kérdés esetén javasoljuk, hogy a Projektek vagy a Projekt kiadások és a Wikimédia Alapítvány által biztosított vitarendezési eljárások vagy mechanizmusok útján keressen megoldást. Ha Ön jogi követelést kíván benyújtani ellenünk, akkor vállalja, hogy kizárólag a kaliforniai San Francisco megyében található állami vagy szövetségi bíróságon nyújtja be és oldja meg azt. Ön azt is elfogadja, hogy Kalifornia állam jogszabályai, valamint – amennyiben alkalmazandó – az Amerikai Egyesült Államok jogszabályai az irányadók a jelen Felhasználási feltételekre, valamint az Ön és vállalatunk között esetlegesen felmerülő bármely jogi követelésre vonatkozóan (a nemzetközi magánjogi alapelvekre való hivatkozás nélkül). Ön vállalja, hogy aláveti magát a kaliforniai San Francisco megyében található bíróságok személyes joghatóságának, és elfogadja, hogy azok a jogvita rendezésének megfelelő fórumát jelentik a velünk vagy a jelen Felhasználási feltételekkel kapcsolatos bármely jogi cselekmény vagy eljárás során.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Annak biztosítása érdekében, hogy a vitás ügyeket a felmerülésük után hamarosan kezeljük, elfogadod, hogy bármilyen ellentétes törvénytől vagy jogszabálytól függetlenül, a szolgáltatásaink vagy a jelen Felhasználási feltételek használatából eredő vagy azzal kapcsolatos bármilyen igényt vagy keresetindítási okot a vonatkozó elévülési időn belül kell benyújtanod, vagy ha ez korábbi, akkor egy (1) évvel azt követően, hogy az ilyen igény vagy keresetindítási ok alapjául szolgáló releváns tényeket elfogadható gondosság mellett fel lehetett volna fedezni (vagy örökre elévül).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
A jelen Felhasználási feltételek 4. szakaszában leírtak szerint Ön beleegyezik abba, hogy az Alapítvány belátása szerint a közzététel nélkül történő fizetett közreműködésekre vonatkozó szabályok megsértését egy Marketing Vállalati Mediációs eljárás keretében oldják meg. A Marketing Vállalati Mediációk olyan kötelező érvényű mediációk, ahol a félnapos vagy teljes napos ülés végén a mediátor jogilag kötelező érvényű döntést hoz a megoldatlan vitatott ügyekben. Ezeket az üléseket telekonferencián vagy videókonferencián keresztül tartják. Ha személyes találkozóra van szükség, akkor a Marketing Vállalati Mediációra a kaliforniai San Francisco megyében kerül sor. A felek egyenlően osztják el maguk között a mediációhoz/választottbíráskodáshoz kapcsolódó összes díjat és költséget.

A Marketing Vállalati Mediáció részeként Ön vállalja, hogy együttműködik az Alapítvánnyal, beleértve az Ön birtokában lévő, fizetett szerkesztési tevékenységével kapcsolatos bármely nem közölt dokumentáció megfelelő időben történő átadását, ideértve a használt számlákat, az érintett cikkeket és az ilyen szolgáltatásokat megvásároló ügyfeleket.

A Marketing Vállalati Mediációra a Szövetségi Választottbírósági Törvény vonatkozik és annak hatálya alá tartozik, amennyiben a közvetítő választottbíróvá válik. A pernyertes félnek jogában áll az ügyvédi munkadíjait (beleértve a Marketing Vállalati Mediáció alkalmazhatóságának meghatározásához és a kötelező erejű eredmény érvényesítéséhez szükséges összes díjat), valamint a kivizsgálással és jogai érvényesítésével kapcsolatos összes költséget megtéríttetni. Egy fél akkor is „pernyertesnek” tekinthető, ha nem minden követelést érvényesített sikeresen.

Ha valamilyen okból a jelen Marketing Vállalati Mediációra vonatkozó követelmények teljes egészében végrehajthatatlannak bizonyulnak, Ön vállalja, hogy minden jogvitát a jelen szakasz elején leírtak szerint rendez.

A Wikimédia Alapítványnál mi mindent megteszünk annak érdekében, hogy ismeretterjesztő és tájékoztató tartalmat biztosítsunk nagyon széles közönség számára, azonban szolgáltatásaink Ön általi használata kizárólag az Ön kockázatára történik. Ezeket a szolgáltatásokat „adott állapotukban” és „adott elérhetőségük szerint” nyújtjuk, és kifejezetten kizárunk minden kifejezett vagy vélelmezett szavatosságot, beleértve többek között a forgalmazhatóságra, az adott célra való alkalmasságra és a jogsértő jellegtől való mentességre vonatkozó vélelmezett szavatosságokat. Nem vállalunk garanciát arra, hogy szolgáltatásaink megfelelnek az Ön igényeinek, biztonságosak, megszakítás nélküliek, időszerűek, pontosak vagy hibamentesek lesznek, illetve hogy adatai biztonságban lesznek.

Nem vállalunk felelősséget harmadik felek tartalmaiért, adataiért vagy cselekedeteiért, és Ön felment minket, igazgatóinkat, tisztviselőinket, alkalmazottainkat és ügynökeinket minden olyan ismert és ismeretlen igény és kártérítési követelés alól, amely az Önnek ilyen harmadik felekkel szembeni bármely igényéből ered vagy azzal bármilyen módon kapcsolatos. Az Ön által tőlünk, illetve a szolgáltatásainkon keresztül vagy azokból kapott semmiféle szóbeli vagy írásbeli tanács vagy információ nem keletkeztet semmiféle olyan garanciát, amely jelen Felhasználási feltételekben kifejezetten nem szerepel.

A szolgáltatásaink Ön általi használata során letöltött vagy más módon megszerzett minden anyag az Ön saját belátása szerint és kockázatára történik, és Ön kizárólagos felelősséggel tartozik a számítógépes rendszerében bekövetkezett bármely olyan kárért vagy adatvesztésért, amely az ilyen anyagok letöltéséből ered. Ön elfogadja, hogy mi nem vállalunk felelősséget a szolgáltatás által fenntartott bármely tartalom vagy kommunikáció törléséért, illetve annak tárolására vagy továbbítására való képtelenségért. Fenntartjuk a jogot arra, hogy saját belátásunk szerint bármikor, értesítéssel vagy anélkül korlátozásokat vezessünk be a használatra és a tárolásra vonatkozóan.

Egyes államok vagy joghatóságok nem engedélyezik az ebben a szakaszban szereplőhöz hasonló típusú jogi nyilatkozatok tételét, így előfordulhat, hogy a jogszabályoktól függően ezek vagy részben, vagy egészben nem alkalmazhatók Önre.&lt;/div&gt;

Felelősségünk semmilyen esetben sem haladhatja meg az ezer USA dollárt (1000,00 USD) összesen. Abban az esetben, ha az alkalmazandó jogszabályok esetleg nem engedik meg a felelősség, illetve a járulékos vagy következményes károkért járó kártérítés korlátozását vagy kizárását, a fenti korlátozás vagy kizárás esetleg nem vonatkozik Önre, azonban a mi felelősségünk az alkalmazandó jogszabályok által megengedett legteljesebb mértékben korlátozott lesz.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Ezen Felhasználási Feltételek módosítása ==

Ahogyan a Wikimédia közösség hozzájárulása elengedhetetlen a Projektek fejlődéséhez és fenntartásához, úgy hisszük, hogy a közösség hozzájárulása elengedhetetlen a jelen Felhasználási feltételek szempontjából is a felhasználóink megfelelő kiszolgálása érdekében. Ez a tisztességes szerződéshez is elengedhetetlen. Ezért a jelen Felhasználási feltételeket, valamint a jelen Felhasználási feltételek bármely lényeges jövőbeni átdolgozását véleményezés céljából legalább harminc (30) nappal a véleményezési időszak vége előtt a közösség rendelkezésére bocsátjuk. Ha valamely jövőbeni javasolt átdolgozás lényegesnek tekinthető, további 30 napot biztosítunk a véleményezésre, miután a javasolt átdolgozás fordítását legalább három (saját belátásunk szerint kiválasztott) nyelven közzétettük. A közösséget arra ösztönözzük, hogy a javasolt átdolgozást szükség szerint fordítsák le más nyelvekre. Jogi vagy adminisztratív okokból bekövetkező változások, pontatlan nyilatkozat kijavítása, illetve a közösségi megjegyzésekre válaszul történő módosítások esetén legalább három (3) nappal korábban értesítést küldünk.

Mivel időről időre szükség lehet a jelen Felhasználási feltételek módosítására, az ilyen módosításokról és a véleményezésre való lehetőségről értesítést küldünk a Projektwebhelyeken keresztül, valamint [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]] értesítés útján. Kérjük azonban, hogy rendszeresen tekintse át a jelen Felhasználási feltételek legfrissebb változatát. Amennyiben Ön tovább használja szolgáltatásainkat az új Felhasználási feltételeknek az értesítést és a véleményezési időszakot követő hivatalossá válása után, az a jelen Felhasználási feltételek elfogadását jelenti az Ön részéről. A Wikimédia Alapítvány és az Önhöz hasonló más felhasználók védelme érdekében, ha Ön nem fogadja el a Felhasználási feltételeinket, nem használhatja szolgáltatásainkat.

A jelen Felhasználási feltételek nem keletkeztetnek munkaviszonyt, megbízási jogviszonyt, partnerséget, közös irányítást vagy közös vállalkozási kapcsolatot Ön és mi, a Wikimédia Alapítvány között. Az Európai Gazdasági Térség jogszabályai, az Egyesült Királyság jogszabályai és a hasonló koncepciót használó más jogszabályok alkalmazásában Ön nem „az Alapítvány felügyelete alatt” jár el a szolgáltatások Ön általi használata során. Ha nem írt alá külön megállapodást velünk, a jelen Felhasználási feltételek képezik az Ön és közöttünk létrejött teljes megállapodást. Ha a jelen Felhasználási feltételek és az Ön és közöttünk aláírt valamely írásos megállapodás között ellentmondás áll fenn, az aláírt megállapodás az irányadó.

Ön hozzájárul ahhoz, hogy mi értesítéseket küldhetünk Önnek e-mailben, postai úton, illetve a Projektekben vagy Projektwebhelyeken közzétett nyilatkozatok útján, beleértve a Felhasználási feltételek módosításaival kapcsolatos értesítéseket is.

Ha a jelen Felhasználási feltételek bármely rendelkezését bármilyen körülmények között nem alkalmazzuk vagy nem érvényesítjük, az nem minősül az adott rendelkezésről való lemondásnak.

Ön tudomásul veszi, hogy hacsak írásban másként nem állapodunk meg, Ön nem várhat el semmilyen díjazást semmilyen tevékenységért, hozzájárulásért vagy ötletért cserébe, amelyet Ön nekünk, a közösségnek, a Projekteknek vagy a Projekt kiadásoknak nyújt.

A jelen Felhasználási feltételek bármely ellenkező értelmű rendelkezésére való tekintet nélkül mi (a Wikimédia Alapítvány) és Ön megállapodunk, hogy nem módosítjuk a projektekben vagy a projekt kiadásokban használt ingyenes licenc alkalmazandó feltételeit és követelményeit, ha az ilyen ingyenes licencet a jelen Felhasználási feltételek megengedik.

A jelen Felhasználási feltételek (USA) angol nyelven készültek. Bár reméljük, hogy a jelen Felhasználási feltételek fordításai pontosak, az eredeti angol nyelvű változat és a fordítás közötti bármely jelentésbeli különbség esetén az eredeti angol nyelvű változat az irányadó.

Ha a jelen Felhasználási feltételek bármely rendelkezése vagy rendelkezésének egy része jogellenesnek, semmisnek vagy végrehajthatatlannak bizonyul, akkor az adott rendelkezés vagy rendelkezés egy része a jelen Felhasználási feltételektől elválaszthatónak minősül, azt a megengedett legteljesebb mértékben érvényesíteni kell, a jelen Felhasználási feltételek összes többi rendelkezése pedig teljes mértékben érvényes és hatályos marad.

Köszönjük! ==

Nagyra értékeljük, hogy időt szán a jelen Felhasználási feltételek elolvasására, és nagyon örülünk, hogy hozzájárul a Projektekhez és használja szolgáltatásainkat. Hozzájárulásai révén egy igazán nagyszerű dolgot segít megteremteni – nem csak együttműködő módon szerkesztett referenciaprojektek fontos gyűjteményét, amelyek ismeretterjesztést végeznek és tájékoztatást nyújtanak azoknak a millióknak, akik ilyenhez egyébként nem férnének hozzá, hanem a hasonló gondolkodású és elkötelezett munkatársak sokszínű közösségét is, akik egy különösen nemes célnak szentelik erőfeszítéseiket.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Terms of Use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

კეთილი იყოს თქვენი მობრძანება ვიკიმედიაში! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. („ჩვენ“ ან „ფონდი“), არის არაკომერციული საქველმოქმედო ორგანიზაცია, რომლის [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|მისიაა]] გააძლიეროს და ჩართოს ადამიანები მთელს მსოფლიოში, რათა მათ შეაგროვონ და განავითარონ შინაარსის შემცველი ინფორმაცია [[w:en:Free content|თავისუფალი ლიცენზიით]] ან საჯარო საკუთრებაში, რათა მსოფლიო მასშტაბით უფასოდ გაავრცელონ იგი.

ჩვენი აქტიური საზოგადოების მხარდასაჭერად, ჩვენ ვუზრუნველყოფთ აუცილებელ ინფრასტრუქტურას და ორგანიზაციულ ჩარჩოს მრავალენოვანი ვიკიპროექტებისა და მათი გამოცემების განვითარებისთვის (როგორც არის [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|განმარტებული ვიკიმედიის პროექტების გვერდზე]]) (შემდგომში მოცემულია როგორც „პროექტები“) და სხვა მცდელობებითაც, რომლებიც ემსახურება ამ მისიას. ჩვენ ვცდილობთ, რომ პროექტებიდან მიღებული საგანმანათლებლო და საინფორმაციო შინაარსი გავხადოთ და შევინახოთ ინტერნეტში უფასოდ - სამუდამოდ.

ჩვენ მოგესალმებით თქვენ („თქვენ“ ან „მომხმარებელს“), როგორც ვიკიმედიის პროექტების მკითხველს, [[w:Help:Editing|რედაქტორს]], ავტორს ან წვლილის შემტანს და მოგიწოდებთ შეუერთდეთ ვიკიმედიის საზოგადოებას. თუმცა, სანამ მონაწილეობას მიიღებთ, გთხოვთ, წაიკითხოთ და დაეთანხმოთ გამოყენების შემდეგ წესებს („გამოყენების პირობები“).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
გამოყენების ეს წესები გეტყვით ფონდ ვიკიმედიის საჯარო სერვისების შესახებ, თქვენთან, როგორც მომხმარებელთან ურთიერთობის იმ უფლებებსა და მოვალეობებზე, რომლებიც ორივეს გზამკვლევია. გვსურს იცოდეთ, რომ ჩვენ ვმასპინძლობთ წარმოუდგენელი რაოდენობის საგანმანათლებლო და საინფორმაციო შინაარსს, ამ ყველაფერში კი წვლილი შეიტანეს და შესაძლებელი გახდეს მსგავსმა მომხმარებლებმა, როგორებიც თქვენ ხართ. როგორც წესი, ჩვენ არ ვაკეთებთ კონტრიბუციას, არ ვაკვირდებით ან არ ვშლით შინაარს (იშვიათი გამონაკლისის გარდა ისეთი
პოლიტიკისა, როგორიცაა გამოყენების პირობები ან [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]] შეტყობინებების სამართლებრივი შესაბამისობა). ეს ნიშნავს, რომ სარედაქციო კონტროლი თქვენი და თქვენი თანამოაზრეების ხელშია, რომლებიც ქმნიან და მართავენ შინაარსს. ჩვენ მხოლოდ ვმასპინძლობთ ამ შინაარსს.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
საზოგადოება - მომხმარებელთა ქსელი, რომლებიც მუდმივად აშენებენ და იყენებენ სხვადასხვა საიტებსა თუ პროექტებს არის მისიის მიზნების მიღწევის ძირითადი საშუალება. საზოგადოება ხელს უწყობს და ეხმარება ჩვენი საიტების მართვას. საზოგადოებას ეკისრება კრიტიკული ფუნქცია, რათა შექმნას და განახორციელოს კონკრეტული პროექტის გამოცემების პოლიტიკა (როგორიცაა ვიკიპედიის პროექტის სხვადასხვა ენობრივი გამოცემები ან ვიკისაწყობი (Wikimedia Commons) მრავალენოვანი გამოცემა).

შეგიძლიათ შეუერთდეთ როგორც წვლილის შემტანი, რედაქტორი ან ავტორი, მაგრამ თქვენ უნდა დაიცვათ პოლიტიკა, რომელიც არეგულირებს პროექტის თითოეულ დამოუკიდებელ გამოცემას. ჩვენი პროექტებიდან ყველაზე დიდი არის ვიკიპედია, მაგრამ ჩვენ ვმასპინძლებთ სხვა პროექტებსაც, თითოეულს განსხვავებული მიზნებითა და მუშაობის მეთოდებით. პროექტის თითოეულ გამოცემას ჰყავს წვლილის შემტანების, რედაქტორების ან ავტორების გუნდი, რომლებიც ერთად მუშაობენ ამ პროექტის გამოცემის შინაარსის შესაქმნელათა და სამართავად. შეგიძლიათ შეუერთდეთ ამ გუნდებს და იმუშაოთ მათთან ამ პროექტების გასაუმჯობესებლად. იმის გამო,
რომ ჩვენ ვიღწვით შინაარსის თავისუფლად ხელმისაწვდომობისათვის, ზოგადად მოვითხოვთ, რომ ყველა შინაარსი, რომელსაც თქვენ გვაწვდით, ხელმისაწვდომი იყოს თავისუფალი ლიცენზიით ან საჯარო საკუთრებაში.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
გთხოვთ გაითვალისწინოთ, რომ თქვენ იურიდიულად პასუხისმგებელი ბრძანდებით თქვენს ყველა წვლილზე თუ რედაქტირებაზე. ასევე, ვიკიმედიის შინაარსის ხელახლა გამოყენებაზე ამერიკის შეერთებული შტატებისა და სხვა მოქმედი კანონების შესაბამისად (რომლებიც შეიძლება მოიცავდეს იმ კანონებს, სადაც ცხოვრობთ, სადაც ხედავთ ან არედაქტირებთ შინაარსს). ეს ნიშნავს, რომ მნიშვნელოვანია სიფრთხილე გამოიჩინოთ შინაარსის გამოქვეყნებისას. ამ პასუხისმგებლობის გათვალისწინებით, ჩვენ გვაქვს გარკვეული წესები იმის შესახებ, თუ რისი გამოქვეყნება არ შეგიძლიათ, რომელთა უმეტესობა არის თქვენი ან სხვა თქვენნაირი მომხმარებლების დასაცავად. გთხოვთ, გახსოვდეთ, რომ შინაარსი, რომელსაც ჩვენ ვმასპინძლობთ, მხოლოდ ზოგადი საინფორმაციო მიზნებისთვისაა, ასე რომ, თუ გჭირდებათ ექსპერტის რჩევა კონკრეტული კითხვისთვის (როგორიცაა სამედიცინო, იურიდიული ან ფინანსური საკითხები), უნდა მიმართოთ ლიცენზირებულ ან კვალიფიციურ პროფესიონალს. ჩვენ ასევე მოვიცავთ სხვა მნიშვნელოვან შენიშვნებს და პასუხისმგებლობისაგან უარყოფას. ამიტომ გთხოვთ, სრულად წაიკითხოთ აღნიშნული გამოყენების პირობები.

მხოლოდ თქვენ ხართ პასუხისმგებელი მესამე მხარის ვებსაიტების ან რესურსების გამოყენებაზე. მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ პროექტები შეიცავს ბმულებს მესამე მხარის ვებსაიტებზე და რესურსებზე, ჩვენ არც ვადასტურებთ და არც პასუხისმგებელობას ვკისრულობთ მათ
ხელმისაწვდომობაზე, სიზუსტეზე, დაკავშირებულ შინაარსზე, პროდუქტებზე ან მასთან დაკავშირებულ სერვისებზე (შეზღუდვის გარეშე, ნებისმიერი ვირუსის ან სხვა გამორთვის ფუნქციების ჩათვლით), არც ჩვენ გვაქვს რაიმე ვალდებულება, დავაკვირდეთ მესამე მხარის შინაარსს.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
საზოგადოებას აქვს უპირველესი როლი პროექტის სხვადასხვა გამოცემებზე გამოყენებული პოლიტიკის შექმნასა და განხორციელებაში. ფონდ ვიკიმედიაში ჩვენ იშვიათად ვერევით საზოგადოების პოლიტიკისა და მისი აღსრულების შესახებ გადაწყვეტილებებში. უჩვეულო შემთხვევაში, შეიძლება გაჩნდეს საჭიროება, ან საზოგადოებამ მოგვთხოვოს, რომ მივმართოთ განსაკუთრებით პრობლემურ მომხმარებელს პროექტის მნიშვნელოვანი დარღვევის ან საშიში ქცევის გამო. ასეთ შემთხვევებში ჩვენ ვიტოვებთ უფლებას, მაგრამ არ გვაქვს ვალდებულება:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:

* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.

If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
თქვენ ეთანხმებით, რომ ჩვენ შეიძლება მოგაწოდოთ შეტყობინებები, მათ შორის გამოყენების პირობების ცვლილებების შესახებ - როგორც ელექტრონული ფოსტით, ისე, რეგულარული ფოსტით ან პროექტის ვებსაიტებზე გამოქვეყნებით.
&lt;/div&gt;

თუ რაიმე ვითარებაში, ჩვენ არ გამოვიყენებთ ან არ აღვასრულებთ ამ გამოყენების პირობების რომელიმე დებულებას, ეს არ ნიშნავს ამ დებულებაზე უარის თქმას.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
თქვენ აცნობიერებთ რომ, ჩვენს მიერ სხვაგვარი წერილობითი შეთანხმების გარეშე, თქვენ არ გაქვთ კომპენსაციის მოლოდინი ნებისმიერი აქტივობის, წვლილის ან იდეისათვის, რომელსაც თქვენ მოაწვდით ამ საზოგადოებას ან ვიკიმედიის პროექტებს ან პროექტების გამოცემებს.
&lt;/div&gt;

წინამდებარე გამოყენების პირობებში საპირისპირო დებულების მიუხედავად, ჩვენ (ფონდი ვიკიმედია) და თქვენ თანახმა ვართ, არ შეცვალოთ ნებისმიერი უფასო ლიცენზიის მოქმედი პირობები და მოთხოვნები, რომლებიც გამოიყენება პროექტებსა და პროექტების გამოცემებზე, როდესაც ასეთი უფასო ლიცენზია ავტორიზებულია ამ წესების მოხმარების პირობებით.

აღნიშნული გამოყენების პირობები დაიწერა ინგლისურ ენაზე (აშშ). მიუხედავად იმისა, ვიმედოვნებთ, რომ ამ გამოყენების პირობების თარგმანები ზუსტია, ორიგინალ ინგლისურ ვერსიასა და თარგმანს შორის რაიმე განმასხვავებელი მნიშვნელობების წამოჭრის შემთხვევაში უპირატესობა ენიჭება ორიგინალ - ინგლისურ ვერსიას.

თუ წინამდებარე გამოყენების პირობების რომელიმე დებულება ან დებულების ნაწილი აღმოჩნდება არაკანონიერი, ბათილი ან არააღსრულებადი, ეს დებულება ან დებულების ნაწილი განიხილება წინამდებარე გამოყენების პირობებისგან განცალკევებით და შესრულდება მაქსიმალური დასაშვები ზომით და წინამდებარე გამოყენების პირობების ყველა სხვა დებულება დარჩება სრულ ძალაში.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==მადლობა!==

ჩვენ ვაფასებთ თქვენს მიერ გამოყოფილ დროს ამ გამოყენების პირობების წასაკითხად და მოხარული ვართ, რომ თქვენ წვლილი შეიტანეთ პროექტებში და იყენებთ ჩვენს სერვისებს. თქვენი წვლილის მეშვეობით თქვენ ეხმარებით რაღაც მართლაც დიდის შექმნას - არა მხოლოდ ერთობლივად რედაქტირებული საცნობარო პროექტების მნიშვნელოვან კოლექციას, რომელიც უზრუნველყოფს განათლებას და ინფორმაციაზე წვდომას მილიონობით ადამიანისათვის, რომლებსაც სხვაგვარად შეიძლება არ ჰქონდეთ წვდომა, არამედ ასევე კეთილშობილურ საქმეს თქვენივე თანამოაზრეებთან ერთად.

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  សេវាកម្មរបស់យើង==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Ons Deensde ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

==4. De Fenger vun beschtemmpte Saache lohße==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section.

Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Övver ene Hüpperlengk, woh dat jeiht, udder en &lt;i lang=&quot;en&quot;&gt;URL&lt;/i&gt;, dä op di Sigg udder di Sigge zeisch, di de aam bruche bes, weil jeede Sigg en Leß met de verjange Versjohne derbei hät, di alle Schriiver zesije deiht;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.
&lt;/div&gt;

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Xizmetên Me==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:

This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).

These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Eis Servicer ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Passwuertsécherheet ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Gestioun vun den Internet-Siten ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

'''''Įsivaizduokite pasaulį, kuriame kiekvienas žmogus gali laisvai dalytis visų žinių visuma. Tai mūsų įsipareigojimas.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Mūsų vizija]]

Sveiki atvykę į Vikimedijos! „Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.” (toliau – mes, mus arba Fondas) yra ne pelno siekianti labdaros organizacija, kurios būstinė yra San Franciske, Kalifornijoje, Jungtinėse Amerikos Valstijose, ir [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|kurios misija]] suteikti žmonėms visame pasaulyje galimybę rinkti ir kurti turinį pagal [https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laisvasis_turinys|nemokamą licenciją] arba paskelbiant jį viešai, ir veiksmingai bei nemokamai jį platinti visame pasaulyje.

Siekdami palaikyti gyvybingą bendruomenę, mes teikiame pagrindinę infrastruktūrą ir organizacinę struktūrą daugiakalbiams „Wiki” projektams ir jų leidiniams (kaip paaiškinta mūsų [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Vikimedijos projektų puslapyje]]) (toliau – Projektai) bei kitiems šiai misijai tarnaujantiems projektams kurti. Siekiame, kad Projektų edukacinis ir informacinis turinys internete būtų prieinamas nemokamai ir neribotą laiką.

Sveikiname jus (toliau – jūs arba naudotojas) kaip Projektų skaitytoją ar autorių ir kviečiame prisijungti prie „Vikimedijos” bendruomenės. Tačiau prieš dalyvaudami prašome perskaityti ir sutikti su šiomis naudojimo sąlygomis (toliau – Naudojimo sąlygos).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Šiose Naudojimosi sąlygose pasakojama apie Vikimedijos fondo viešąsias paslaugas, mūsų santykius su jumis, kaip naudotojais, taip pat apie mūsų abiejų teises ir pareigas. Mes talpiname neįtikėtinai daug mokomojo ir informacinio turinio, prie kurio kūrimo prisideda tokie naudotojai kaip jūs. Paprastai prie turinio neprisidedame, jo nestebime ir netriname (išskyrus retas išimtis, pvz., pagal tokias politikas kaip šios naudojimo sąlygos, dėl teisinės atitikties, arba iškilus neatidėliotinai didelės žalos grėsmei). Tai reiškia, kad už redakciją esate atsakingi tik jūs ir kiti naudotojai, kurie kuria ir tvarko turinį.

Bendruomenė – naudotojų, nuolat kuriančių ir naudojančių projektus ir (arba) jų svetaines (toliau – projektų svetainės), tinklas – yra pagrindinė priemonė misijos tikslams pasiekti. Bendruomenė prisideda prie mūsų projektų ir projektų svetainių kūrimo ir padeda juos valdyti. Bendruomenė taip pat atlieka labai svarbią funkciją – kuria ir įgyvendina konkrečių projekto leidinių (pavyzdžiui, Vikipedija projekto skirtingų kalbų leidinių arba Vikiteka daugiakalbių leidinių) politiką.

Jūs, naudotojas, esate kviečiamas prisijungti kaip autorius, redaktorius ar sudarytojas, tačiau turėtumėte laikytis kiekvienai nepriklausomai projekto redakcijai taikomos politikos, įskaitant [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Visuotinį elgesio kodeksą]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), kuris taikomas visoms projekto redakcijoms. Didžiausias mūsų projektas yra Vikipedija, tačiau vykdome ir kitus projektus, kurių tikslai ir darbo metodai skiriasi. Kiekvienas projekto leidinys turi bendradarbių, redaktorių ar autorių komandą, kurie kartu kuria ir tvarko to projekto leidinio turinį. Kviečiame prisijungti prie šių komandų ir kartu su jomis tobulinti šiuos projektus. Kadangi siekiame, kad turinys būtų laisvai prieinamas visuomenei, jūsų pateiktas turinys yra prieinamas pagal nemokamą licenciją arba skelbiamas viešai.

Atminkite, kad esate teisiškai atsakingi už visus savo teikinius, redagavimus ir pakartotinį Vikimedijos turinio naudojimą pagal Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų įstatymus ir kitus galiojančius įstatymus (įskaitant įstatymus, galiojančius jūsų arba jūsų teikinio objekto buvimo vietoje). Tai reiškia, kad skelbdami, keisdami ar pakartotinai naudodami turinį turite būti atsargūs. Vykdydami tokią mums numatytą atsakomybę, nustatėme tam tikras taisykles dėl to, ko mes negalime daryti, kurių dauguma yra skirtos jūsų pačių arba kitų naudotojų, tokių kaip jūs, apsaugai. Atminkite, kad mūsų talpinamas turinys yra skirtas tik bendriems informaciniams tikslams, todėl, jei jums reikia specialisto patarimo konkrečiu klausimu (pvz., medicininiais, teisiniais ar finansiniais klausimais), turėtumėte kreiptis pagalbos į atitinkamą specialistą. Mes taip pat pateikiame kitus svarbius pranešimus ir atsisakymus, todėl perskaitykite visą šių Naudojimo sąlygų tekstą.

Aiškumo dėlei, kitos organizacijos, pavyzdžiui, [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|vietiniai Vikimedijos skyriai]] ir asociacijos, kurios gali vykdyti tą pačią misiją, yra teisiškai nepriklausomos ir atskirtos nuo fondo Vikimedijos fondo. Jei Fondas, kaip įgaliota šalis, kitaip nenurodo tam tikroje Projekto interneto svetainėje, tos kitos organizacijos nėra atsakingos už Projekto interneto svetainės veiklą ar jos turinį.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Mūsų paslaugos ==

Vikimedijos fondo siekia skatinti nemokamo daugiakalbio turinio augimą, plėtrą ir platinimą, taip pat nemokamai talpina visą šių Vikipedija grindžiamų projektų turinį visuomenei. Mūsų pareiga yra talpinti didžiausius pasaulyje bendrai redaguojamus nuorodų projektus, [//www.wikimedia.org kuriuos galima rasti čia]. Tačiau mes veikiame tik kaip prieglobos paslaugų teikėjas, esame atsakingi už infrastruktūros ir organizacinės struktūros priežiūrą. Ši infrastruktūra ir sistema leidžia mūsų naudotojams patiems kurti projektus kuriant ir redaguojant turinį. Jie taip pat leidžia naudotojams pakartotinai naudoti šį turinį. Mūsų prižiūrima infrastruktūra apima specializuotą technologinę infrastruktūrą, leidžiančią naudotojams programiškai sąveikauti su Projektų turiniu ir jį pakartotinai naudoti (vadinama „Programų programavimo sąsaja” arba API), ir mobiliąsias programas.

Kaip naudojama toliau šiose Sąlygose teikiame tokias paslaugas: [//www.wikimedia.org Mūsų prižiūrimos projektų svetainės], mūsų palaikoma technologinė infrastruktūra, bet kokios techninės erdvės, kurias talpiname siekdami palaikyti ir tobulinti mūsų projektus.

Kadangi mūsų vaidmuo yra unikalus, turėtumėte žinoti kelis dalykus, susijusių su mūsų santykiais su jumis, projektais ir kitais naudotojais:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Mes nevykdome redaktoriaus darbo:''' Kadangi Projektų redagavimas yra kolektyvinis darbas, didžiąją daugumą mūsų talpinamo turinio pateikia naudotojai, o mes jo neredaguojame. Tai reiškia, kad mes paprastai nekontroliuojame ir neredaguojame Projekto svetainių turinio ir neprisiimame jokios atsakomybės už šį turinį. Panašiai, jei aiškiai nenurodėme kitaip, nepatvirtiname jokių nuomonių, išreikštų per mūsų paslaugas, ir netvirtiname bei negarantuojame jokio projektuose pateikto bendruomenės turinio teisingumo, tikslumo ar patikimumo.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Jūs esate patys atsakingi už savo veiksmus:''' Esate teisiškai atsakingi už teikinių redagavimą ir teikimą Projektams, pakartotinį Projektų turinio naudojimą, API naudojimą ir naudojimąsi mūsų paslaugomis apskritai. Dėl savo pačių apsaugos turėtumėte būti atsargūs ir vengti bet kokių veiksmų, kurie gali užtraukti baudžiamąją ar civilinę atsakomybę pagal galiojančius įstatymus. Aiškumo dėlei galiojantys įstatymai yra bent jau Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų ir Kalifornijos valstijos įstatymai. Kitos šalyse taikomi teisės aktai nustatomi kiekvienu atveju atskirai. Nors galime nesutikti, įspėjame naudotojus, ypač redaktorius, bendradarbius ir autorius, kad ne JAV valdžios institucijos gali bandyti jums taikyti kitų šalių įstatymus, įskaitant vietos, kurioje gyvenate arba kurioje peržiūrite ar redaguojate turinį, įstatymus. Paprastai negalime pasiūlyti jokios apsaugos, garantijos, imuniteto ar kompensacijos dėl tokių įstatymų taikymo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Privatumo Politika ==

Prašome susipažinti su [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|mūsų Privatumo taisyklių sąlygomis]], kad žinotumėte, kaip renkame ir naudojame jūsų duomenis.

&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Turinys, kurį mes talpiname ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Kai kuri medžiaga jums gali būti nepriimtina arba klaidinga:''' Kadangi talpiname įvairų kitų naudotojų sukurtą ar surinktą turinį, galite susidurti su medžiaga, kuri jums gali pasirodyti įžeidžianti, klaidinga, klaidinanti, neteisingai pažymėta ar kitaip nepriimtina. Todėl prašome, kad naudodamiesi mūsų paslaugomis vadovautumėtės sveika nuovoka ir priimtumėte tinkamus sprendimus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Projektų turinys skirtas tik bendriems informaciniams tikslams:''' Nors mūsų projektuose pateikiama daug informacijos, susijusios su profesinėmis temomis, įskaitant medicinos, teisės ar finansinius klausimus, šis turinys pateikiamas tik bendrais informaciniais tikslais. Tokia informacija neturėtų būti laikoma profesiniu patarimu. Prieš veikdami vadovaudamiesi kokia nors informacija, nuomone ar patarimais, pateiktais vienoje iš Projekto interneto svetainių, kreipkitės nepriklausomos profesionalios konsultacijos į asmenį, turintį licenciją ar kvalifikaciją atitinkamoje srityje.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Susilaikymas nuo tam tikros veiklos ==

Vikimedijos fondo rengiami projektai egzistuoja tik dėka energingų naudotojų, tokių kaip jūs, bendruomenės, kurios nariai bendradarbiauja, kad rašytų, redaguotų ir kurtų turinį. Sveikiname jus tapus šios bendruomenės nariu. Raginame jus elgtis draugiškai ir mandagiai bendrauti su kitais bendruomenės nariais, elgtis sąžiningai, redaguoti ir daryti teikinius prisidedant prie bendro projekto misijos įgyvendinimo. Visų naudotojų prašome peržiūrėti ir laikytis [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Visuotinio elgesio kodekso]] (toliau – UCoC), kuriame nustatyti kolegialaus ir mandagaus bendradarbiavimo reikalavimai vykdant visus mūsų talpinamus projektus.

Tam tikra veikla, tiek teisėta, tiek neteisėta pagal galiojančius įstatymus, gali pakenkti kitiems naudotojams ir pažeisti mūsų taisykles, taip pat gali būti taikoma jums atsakomybė. Todėl, siekdami apsaugoti save ir kitus vartotojus, negalite užsiimti tokia neleistina veikla mūsų Projektuose arba naudodamiesi jais. Neteisėta veikla laikoma:

: '''Priekabiavimas prie kitų asmenų ar jų bauginimas'''
::* Grasinimas, persekiojimas, nepageidaujamų elektroninių laiškų siuntinėjimas, vandalizmas ar priekabiavimas, kaip aprašyta UCoC;
::* grandininių laiškų, nepageidaujamų laiškų ar šlamšto siuntimas kitiems naudotojams;
::* turinio skelbimas ar keitimas siekiant rimtai pakenkti kitiems, pavyzdžiui, tyčinis skatinimas save žaloti arba tyčinis epilepsijos sukėlimas.
: '''Kitų asmenų privatumo pažeidimas'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Kitų asmenų privatumo teisių pažeidimas pagal Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų įstatymus ar kitus taikomus įstatymus (įskaitant įstatymus, galiojančius ten, kur gyvenate arba kur peržiūrite ar redaguojate turinį);
::* asmens tapatybę nustatančios informacijos rinkimas priekabiavimo, išnaudojimo ar privatumo pažeidimo tikslais, arba bet kokiais reklaminiais ar komerciniais tikslais, kurių aiškiai nepatvirtino Vikimedijos fondo; ir
::* asmens tapatybę nustatančios informacijos rinkimas iš jaunesnių nei 18 metų asmenų arba jaunesnių nei pilnametystės amžius, jei esate vyresnis nei 18 metų, siekiant neteisėtų tikslų arba pažeidžiant bet kokius galiojančius įstatymus, susijusius su nepilnamečių sveikata ar gerove.
&lt;/div&gt;
: '''Melagingų pareiškimų skleidimas, apsimetinėjimas kitu asmeniu arba sukčiavimas'''
::* Sąmoningas turinio, kuris pagal Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų įstatymus yra šmeižtas arba įžeidimas, skelbimas;
::* turinio siekiant apgauti ar suklaidinti kitus, skelbimas ar keitimas;
::* bandymas apsimesti kitu naudotoju ar asmeniu, neteisingas duomenų apie savo priklausomybę kokiam nors asmeniui ar subjektui pateikimas, savo priklausomybės kokiam nors asmeniui ar subjektui slėpimas, kai to reikalaujama šiose sąlygose ar vietos projekto politikoje, arba kito asmens vardo ar naudotojo vardo siekiant apgauti naudojimas; ir
::* sukčiavimas.
: '''Intelektinės nuosavybės teisių pažeidimas'''
::* Autorių teisių, prekių ženklų, patentų ar kitų nuosavybės teisių pažeidimas pagal galiojančius įstatymus.
: '''Piktnaudžiavimas mūsų paslaugomis kitiems neteisėtiems tikslams'''
::* Vaikų pornografijos ar bet kokio kito turinio, kuris pažeidžia galiojančius įstatymus dėl vaikų pornografijos ar seksualinės prievartos prieš vaikus, skelbimas arba kitų asmenų skatinimas, įkalbinėjimas ar propagavimas kurti tokią medžiagą ar ja dalytis;
::* pagal galiojančius įstatymus neteisėtos nepadorios medžiagos skelbimas arba prekyba ja; ir
::* naudojimasis paslaugomis pažeidžiant galiojančius teisės aktus.
: '''Neteisėtas naudojimasis priemonėmis trukdant kitiems'''
::* Turinio, kuriame yra virusų, kenkėjiškų programų, kirminų, Trojos arklių, kenkėjiškų kodų ar kitų įrenginių, galinčių pakenkti mūsų ar kitų naudotojų techninei infrastruktūrai ar sistemai, skelbimas ar platinimas;
::* automatizuotas naudojimasis Projekto svetainėmis, kuriuo piktnaudžiaujama ar trikdoma paslaugų kokybė, pažeidžiamos priimtinos naudojimo taisyklės, jei tokios yra, arba kurio nepatvirtino Vikimedijos bendruomenė;
::* paslaugų teikimo sutrikdymas nepagrįstai apkraunant API, Projekto interneto svetainę arba su konkrečia Projekto interneto svetaine sujungtus tinklus ar serverius;

::* sąmoningas prisijungimas prie neviešų mūsų kompiuterių sistemų sričių, jų klastojimas ar naudojimasis jomis be leidimo; ir
::* bet kurios mūsų techninės sistemos ar tinklo pažeidžiamumo testavimas, skenavimas ar tikrinimas, išskyrus atvejus, kai tenkinamos visos toliau nurodytos sąlygos:
:::* tokiais veiksmais nebūtų nepagrįstai piktnaudžiaujama mūsų techninėmis sistemomis ar tinklais ir nebūtų sutrikdyta jų veikla;
:::* tokiais veiksmais nesiekiama asmeninės naudos (išskyrus jūsų darbo įvertinimą);
:::* pranešate apie bet kokį pažeidžiamumą atitinkamiems kūrėjams (arba patys jį pašalinate); ir
:::* tokių veiksmų imatės ne turėdami piktavališkų ar destruktyvių ketinimų.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
: '''Apmokami teikiniai neatskleidžiant tapatybės'''

::* Privalote atskleisti visus darbdavius, klientus, numatomus naudos gavėjus ir sąsajas su bet kokiu teikiniu, už kurį gaunate arba tikitės gauti kompensaciją. Tokią informaciją turite atskleisti bent vienu iš šių būdų:
:::* pareiškimą savo naudotojo puslapyje,
:::* pareiškimas pokalbių puslapyje prie mokamų teikinių; arba
:::* pareiškimas redagavimo santraukoje, pridedamas prie visų mokamų teikinių.
::* Be to, jei už bet kokį atlygį viešai skelbiate viešą pranešimą apie Vikipedija redagavimo paslaugas ne projektuose, viešame pranešime trečiosios šalies tarnyboje turite atskleisti visas Vikipedija paskyras, kurias naudojote arba naudosite šiai paslaugai teikti.
::* Pagal galiojančius teisės aktus arba konkretaus projekto politiką ir Fondo politiką bei gaires, pavyzdžiui, susijusias su interesų konfliktais, gali būti taikomi papildomi mokamų teikinių naudojimo apribojimai ar reikalaujama išsamesnio informacijos atskleidimo. Pavyzdžiui, „Vikimedijos” prekių ženklų pažeidimas (kaip apibrėžta toliau 6 skirsnyje), siekiant reklamuoti mokamas redagavimo paslaugas, pašalinant informaciją apie anksčiau tinkamai atskleistus mokamus redagavimus arba išregistruojant mokamus redagavimus taip, kad tinkamai atskleisti informaciją tampa praktiškai neįmanoma, laikomas šio skirsnio pažeidimu.
::* Vikimedijos projekto bendruomenė gali priimti alternatyvią informacijos apie mokamus teikinius atskleidimo politiką, kuri gali papildyti arba pakeisti šį skyrių. Jei Projektas patvirtina alternatyvią informacijos atskleidimo politiką, prisidėdami prie konkretaus Projekto galite laikytis šios politikos, o ne šiame skyriuje (pavadinimu „Apmokami teikiniai neatskleidžiant tapatybės”) nurodytų reikalavimų.

:: Daugiau informacijos rasite [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|DUK apie informacijos apie mokamus teikinius atskleidimas]].


Atlyginimą gaunantiems naudotojams neatskleidžiant informacijos apie redagavimą sukuriama nepagrįsta našta savanoriams redaktoriams, [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|kurie tiria ir įgyvendina bendruomenės politiką]]. Todėl už šio skyriaus pažeidimus, susijusius su neatskleistu mokamu redagavimu, sutinkate vykdyti privalomą „Med-Arb” („Rinkodaros bendrovės mediacija”) sprendimą, kaip aprašyta šių Naudojimo sąlygų 14 skyriuje.

Pasiliekame teisę savo nuožiūra vykdyti šių Naudojimo sąlygų 4 skyriaus nuostatas. Prireikus vykdant šias sąlygas gali būti vykdomi ir veiksmai, nenurodyti Vikimedijos fondo Biuro veiksmų politikoje. Jei, atsiradus naujoms aplinkybėms, prireiks priverstinio vykdymo, ne vėliau kaip per vienerius (1) metus stengsimės atnaujinti [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Biuro veiksmų politiką]], kad ji būtų įtraukta į naujos rūšies veiksmų katalogą.

== 5. Slaptažodžio saugumas ==

Jūs esate atsakingi už savo slaptažodžio ir kitų saugos kredencialų apsaugą ir niekada neturėtumėte jų atskleisti jokiai trečiajai šaliai.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 6. Prekių Ženklai ==

Nors galite pakankamai laisvai pakartotinai naudoti projekto svetainių turinį, svarbu, kad Vikimedijos fondo saugotų savo prekių ženklų teises, kad galėtume apsaugoti savo naudotojus nuo nesąžiningų apsimetėlių. Todėl prašome gerbti mūsų prekių ženklus. Visi Vikimedijos fondo prekių ženklai priklauso Vikimedijos fondo, todėl visus mūsų prekių pavadinimus, prekių ženklus, paslaugų ženklus, logotipus ar domenų pavadinimus galima naudoti tik vadovaujantis šiomis Naudojimo sąlygomis ir mūsų [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Prekių ženklų politika]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Turinio licencijavimas ==

Siekiant plėsti laisvųjų žinių ir laisvosios kultūros bendriją, reikalaujama, kad visi naudotojai, prisidedantys prie projektų ar projektų svetainių, suteiktų plačiajai visuomenei plačius leidimus laisvai platinti ir pakartotinai naudoti jų teikinius, tik jeigu tai tinkamai nurodoma; taip pat pakartotinai naudojami ir laisvai platinami gali būti ir bet kokie išvestiniai kūriniai. Siekdami mūsų tikslo teikti nemokamą informaciją kuo platesnei auditorijai, reikalaujame, kad prireikus visas pateiktas turinys būtų licencijuotas, kad jį galėtų laisvai pakartotinai naudoti visi, kurie turi galimybes su juo susipažinti.

Jūs sutinkate su tokiais licencijavimo reikalavimais:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Tekstas, kurio autorių teisės priklauso jums:'' Pateikdami tekstą, kurio autorių teisės priklauso jums, sutinkate jį licencijuoti pagal:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (CC BY-SA 4.0), ir
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (GFDL) (be versijų, be nekintamų skyrių, priekinio viršelio tekstų ir galinio viršelio tekstai).

Pakartotiniai vartotojai gali laikytis vienos arba abiejų licencijų.&lt;br /&gt;
Vienintelė išimtis yra, jei projekto versijai ar leidimui reikalinga kita licencija. Tokiu atveju sutinkate licencijuoti bet kokį tekstą, kurį pateikiate pagal konkrečią licenciją, nurodytą projekto versijoje arba funkcijoje.

Atminkite, kad šios licencijos leidžia kitiems naudoti jūsų Pateikimą komerciniais tikslais, jei toks naudojimas atitinka taikomų licencijų sąlygas. Jei jums priklauso Sui Generis duomenų bazės teisės pagal CC BY-SA 4.0, jūs atsisakote šių teisių. Pavyzdžiui, tai reiškia, kad faktai, kuriuos prisidedate prie projektų, gali būti laisvai pakartotinai naudojami be priskyrimo.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Priskyrimas:''' Priskyrimas yra svarbi šių licencijų dalis. Manome, kad tai yra padėka tokiems autoriams kaip jūs. Kai pateikiate tekstą, sutinkate, kad jis būtų priskiriamas bet kuriuo iš toliau nurodytų būdų:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per hipersaitą (jei įmanoma) arba URL į straipsnį, prie kurio prisidėjote (kadangi kiekvienas straipsnis turi istorijos puslapį, kuriame išvardyti visi bendradarbiai, autoriai ir redaktoriai);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per hipersaitą (jei įmanoma) arba URL adresą prie alternatyvios, stabilos internetinės kopijos, kuri yra laisvai prieinama, atitinka atitinkamą licenciją ir suteikia autoriams kreditas tokiu būdu, kuris prilygsta Projekto svetainėje pateiktam kreditu; arba&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Teksto importavimas:''' Galite importuoti tekstą, kurį radote kitur arba kurio bendraautoriai yra kiti asmenys, tačiau tokiu atveju pareiškiate ir garantuojate, kad tekstas yra prieinamas CC BY-SA (arba, kaip paaiškinta pirmiau, kita licencija, kai to išimties tvarka reikalauja projekto redakcija arba funkcija) sąlygomis. Atitinkamų licencijų sąrašas pateiktas [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Negalite importuoti turinio, kuris yra prieinamas tik pagal GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Sutinkate, kad jei importuojate tekstą pagal CC licenciją, kuriai reikalingas priskyrimas, turite tinkamai nurodyti autorius. Kai toks kreditas paprastai suteikiamas per puslapio istoriją (pvz., Vikipedijos vidinis kopijavimas), pakanka nurodyti priskyrimą redagavimo santraukoje, kuri įrašoma į puslapio istoriją, kai tekstas importuojamas. Priskyrimo reikalavimai kartais yra pernelyg įkyrūs tam tikromis aplinkybėmis (nepriklausomai nuo licencijos), todėl gali būti atvejų, kai Vikipedijos bendruomenė nusprendžia, kad importuotas tekstas negali būti naudojamas dėl šios priežasties.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Netekstinės laikmenos:''' Netekstinės laikmenos Projektuose prieinamos pagal įvairias licencijas, kuriomis siekiama bendro tikslo – leisti neribotą pakartotinį naudojimą ir platinimą. Jeigu teikiate netekstines laikmenas, sutinkate laikytis tokioms licencijoms taikomų reikalavimų, kaip aprašyta mūsų [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy| Licencijavimo politikoje]], taip pat laikytis konkretaus Projekto redakcijos ar funkcijos, prie kurios prisidedate, reikalavimų. Taip pat žr. [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Vikiteka licencijavimo politiką]], kurioje rasite daugiau informacijos apie netekstinių laikmenų teikimą Vikiteka.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Draudimas atšaukti licenciją:''' Išskyrus jeigu leidžiama pagal jūsų licenciją, sutinkate, kad vienašališkai neatšauksite ir nesieksite pripažinti negaliojančia jokios licencijos, kurią suteikėte pagal šias naudojimo sąlygas dėl tekstinio turinio ar netekstinių laikmenų, teiktų Projektams ar funkcijoms, net jei nutrauksite naudojimąsi mūsų paslaugomis.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Viešai prieinamas turinys:''' Viešai prieinamas turinys yra sveikintinas. Tačiau svarbu, kad patvirtintumėte, jog turinys yra viešai prieinamas pagal Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų įstatymus ir kitų šalių įstatymus, kaip reikalaujama konkrečioje projekto redakcijoje. Kai prisidedate prie viešai prieinamo turinio, garantuojate, kad medžiaga iš tikrųjų yra viešai prieinama, ir sutinkate ją tinkamai pažymėti.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Pakartotinis naudojimas:''' Pakartotinis mūsų talpinamo turinio naudojimas yra sveikintinas, tačiau pagal galiojančius autorių teisių įstatymus galioja išimtys dėl turinio, naudojamo pagal „sąžiningo naudojimo” ar panašias išimtis. Bet koks pakartotinis naudojimas turi atitikti pagrindinę (-es) licenciją (-as).&lt;br /&gt;

Kai pakartotinai naudojate ar platinate Vikimedijos bendruomenės sukurtą teksto puslapį, sutinkate nurodyti autorius bet kuriuo iš toliau nurodytų būdų:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per hipersaitą (jei taikoma) arba URL į puslapį ar puslapius, kuriuos pakartotinai naudojate (kadangi kiekvienas puslapis turi istorijos puslapį, kuriame išvardyti visi bendradarbiai, autoriai ir redaktoriai);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per hipersaitą (jei įmanoma) arba URL į alternatyvią, stabilią, laisvai prieinamą internetinę kopiją, atitinkančią licenciją ir kurioje autoriai priskiriami taip pat, kaip ir Projekto svetainėje; arba&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per visų autorių sąrašą (bet atkreipkite dėmesį, kad bet kuris autorių sąrašas gali būti filtrojamas, kad būtų neįtrauktos labai mažos ar nereikalingos įnašos).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Jei teksto turinys importuotas iš kito šaltinio, gali būti, kad jo licencija yra suderinama su CC BY-SA licencija, bet ne GFDL (kaip aprašyta skyriuje „Teksto importavimas”). Tokiu atveju sutinkate laikytis suderinamos CC BY-SA licencijos ir neturite galimybės ją perlicencijuoti pagal GFDL. Norėdami nustatyti, kokia licencija taikoma turiniui, kurį norite pakartotinai naudoti ar platinti, peržiūrėkite puslapio poraštę, puslapio istoriją ir diskusijų puslapį.

Be to, turėkite omenyje, kad iš išorinių šaltinių gautam ir į projektą importuotam tekstui gali būti taikoma licencija, pagal kurią taikomi papildomi autorystės reikalavimai. Naudotojai sutinka aiškiai nurodyti šiuos papildomus priskyrimo reikalavimus. Priklausomai nuo Projekto, tokie reikalavimai gali būti pateikiami, pavyzdžiui, reklaminiame skydelyje arba kitose nuorodose, kuriose nurodoma, kad dalis arba visas turinys iš pradžių buvo paskelbtas kitur. Jei yra tokių matomų užrašų, pakartotinis naudotojas turėtų juos išsaugoti.

Bet kokios netekstinės laikmenos atveju sutinkate laikytis taikytinos licencijos, pagal kurią kūrinys tapo prieinamas (ją galima sužinoti spustelėjus ant kūrinio ir peržiūrėjus licencijavimo skyrių jo aprašymo puslapyje arba peržiūrėjus taikytiną to kūrinio šaltinio puslapį). Pakartotinai naudodamiesi bet kokiu mūsų talpinamu turiniu, jūs sutinkate laikytis atitinkamų autorystės reikalavimų, susijusių su pagrindine licencija ar licencijomis.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Jūsų pakartotinai naudojamos medžiagos pakeitimai ar papildymai:''' Keisdami arba papildydami tekstą, kurį gavote iš Projekto svetainės, sutinkate modifikuotą arba pridėtą turinį licencijuoti CC BY-SA 4.0 arba vėlesne licencija (arba, kaip paaiškinta pirmiau, kita licencija, kai to išimties tvarka reikalauja konkretaus Projekto redakcija arba funkcija).
Keisdami ar papildydami bet kokią netekstinę laikmeną, kurią gavote iš Projekto svetainės, sutinkate pakeistą ar papildytą turinį licencijuoti pagal bet kokią licenciją, pagal kurią kūrinys buvo pateiktas.&lt;br /&gt;

Keisdami ar papildydami bet kokią netekstinę laikmeną, kurią gaunate iš projekto svetainės, sutinkate licencijuoti pakeistą ar papildomą turinį pagal bet kurią licenciją, pagal kurią buvo pateiktas darbas.&lt;br /&gt;

Sutinkate aiškiai nurodyti, kad tiek tekstinis turinys, tiek netekstinė laikmena buvo pakeisti. Jei pakartotinai naudojate teksto turinį Vikipedija, pakanka puslapio istorijoje nurodyti, kad atlikote importuoto teksto pakeitimą. Kiekvienoje platinamoje kopijoje ar pakeistojoje versijoje sutinkate pateikti pranešimą apie licenciją, kuriame būtų nurodyta, pagal kokią licenciją kūrinys išleistas, ir nuorodą arba URL į licencijos tekstą arba pačios licencijos kopiją.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Vikimedijos fondo nori užtikrinti, kad mūsų talpinamas turinys galėtų būti pakartotinai naudojamas kitų naudotojų nebijant atsakomybės ir kad jis nepažeidžia kitų asmenų nuosavybės teisių. Siekdami būti sąžiningi savo naudotojų, taip pat kitų kūrėjų ir autorių teisių turėtojų atžvilgiu, laikomės politikos atsakyti į pranešimus apie tariamą pažeidimą, atitinkančius Skaitmeninio tūkstantmečio autorių teisių akto (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA) formalumus. Vadovaudamiesi DMCA, atitinkamomis aplinkybėmis nutrauksime mūsų sistemos ir tinklo naudotojų ir paskyrų turėtojų, kurie pakartotinai pažeidžia mūsų projektus ir paslaugas, veiklą.

Tačiau taip pat pripažįstame, kad ne kiekvienas pranešimas apie pašalinimą yra galiojantis ar sąžiningas. Tokiais atvejais primygtinai raginame naudotojus pateikti priešpriešinius pranešimus, jei jie mano, kad reikalavimas pašalinti pagal DMCA yra negaliojantis arba netinkamas.

Bendruomenei tenka pagrindinis vaidmuo kuriant ir įgyvendinant skirtingoms projekto redakcijoms taikomą politiką. Vikimedijos fondo retai kišasi į bendruomenės sprendimus dėl politikos ir jos įgyvendinimo.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Apie neteisėtą turinį arba turinį, kuris pažeidžia mūsų naudojimo sąlygas (įskaitant visas taisykles ir kitus dokumentus, į kuriuos daroma nuoroda) dėl kitų priežasčių, galima mums pranešti [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}| susisiekus tiesiogiai su mumis]]. Tačiau paprastai galite pateikti užklausą tiesiogiai projekto bendruomenei: tai gali būti veiksmingiau ir labiau atitinka mūsų projektų tikslą suteikti naudotojų bendruomenei daugiau galių.
&lt;/div&gt;


Kiekviename projekte paprastai pateikiami „Pagalbos” arba „Kontaktų” puslapiai, kuriuose galima rasti išsamesnių nurodymų arba konkrečių įrankių, skirtų pranešti apie problemas. Taip pat, jei abejojate, galite paprašyti bendruomenės narių pagalbos el. paštu {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, arba kitu konkrečiai kalbai taikomu adresu, kurį rasite [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Savanorių atsako komandos puslapyje]]. Atkreipkite dėmesį, kad šias pašto dėžutes stebi projektų naudotojai, o ne Fondas. Todėl jiems neturėtų būti grasinama ar keliami teisiniai reikalavimai

Jei kreipiatės į fondą dėl problemos, mes paprastai ištirsime, ar esami bendruomenės vadovaujami mechanizmai gali ją ištirti ir, jei reikia, išspręsti.

Kai kuriais retais atvejais gali kilti poreikis arba bendruomenė gali paprašyti atkreipti dėmesį į konkrečią problemą dėl naudotojo Projekto trikdžių ar pavojingo elgesio. Tokiais atvejais pasiliekame teisę savo nuožiūra (arba jei to reikalauja įstatymai):

* tirti, kaip naudojatės Projektais ar mūsų paslaugomis, siekdami: (a) nustatyti, ar nebuvo pažeistos šios Naudojimo sąlygos, Projekto redakcijos politika ar kitas taikytinas įstatymas ar politika, arba (b) įvykdyti bet kokį taikytiną įstatymą, teisinį procesą ar atitinkamą vyriausybės prašymą;
* aptikti sukčiavimo, klaidingos ar nepatikrinamos informacijos, saugumo ar techninių problemų, užkirsti joms kelią ar kitaip jas spręsti arba atsakyti į naudotojų pagalbos užklausas;
* atsisakyti, grąžinti, išjungti arba apriboti prieigą prie bet kurio naudotojo, kuris pažeidžia šias naudojimo sąlygas, teikinių;
* uždrausti naudotojui redaguoti ar prisidėti arba užblokuoti naudotojo paskyrą ar prieigą už veiksmus, pažeidžiančius šias naudojimo sąlygas, įskaitant pakartotinį neteisėtos medžiagos skelbimą pagal galiojančius įstatymus, laikantis žmogaus teisių principų;
* imtis teisinių veiksmų prieš naudotojus, kurie pažeidžia šias Naudojimo sąlygas (įskaitant pranešimus teisėsaugos institucijoms); ir
* kitaip tvarkyti Projekto svetaines siekiant lengviau užtikrinti jų tinkamą veikimą, ir apsaugoti mūsų ir mūsų naudotojų, licencijos davėjų, partnerių bei visuomenės teises, nuosavybę ir saugumą.

Tokie fondo moderavimo veiksmai gali būti informuojami arba atliekami naudojant programinę įrangą (pvz., apsaugą nuo duomenų srauto užtvindymo („atsisakymo aptarnauti”)). Tokiais atvejais [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|gavus prašymą]] situaciją gali peržiūrėti žmogus.

Mūsų naudotojų ir projektų labui ekstremaliomis aplinkybėmis, kai kieno nors paskyra ar prieiga yra užblokuota pagal šį skyrių, jiems draudžiama kurti ar naudoti kitą paskyrą tame pačiame projekte arba siekti prieigos prie to paties projekto, nebent mes jiems aiškiai leidžiame tai padaryti. Neribodamas Bendruomenės galių, pats Fondas netrukdys vartotojui redaguoti ar prisidėti, arba neblokuos jo paskyros ar prieigos tik už teisingą kritiką, dėl kurios nebus imtasi veiksmų, kitaip pažeidžiančių šias Naudojimosi sąlygas ar Bendrijos politiką.

Vikipedijos  bendruomenė ir jos nariai taip pat gali imtis veiksmų, kuriuos leidžia bendruomenės ar fondo politika, taikoma konkrečiam projektui, įskaitant įspėjimą, tyrimą, blokavimą arba draudimą vartotojams, kurie pažeidžia šią politiką. Jūs sutinkate laikytis galutinių bendruomenės Projektui įsteigtų ginčų sprendimo organų sprendimų konkrečioje situacijoje (pvz., arbitražo komitetų); šie sprendimai gali apimti sankcijas, nustatytas konkrečios Projekto versijos politikoje.

Ypač problemiškiems vartotojams, kurių paskyros arba prieiga buvo užblokuota keliose projekto versijose, gali būti uždrausta naudotis visomis projekto versijomis pagal [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Visuotinio uždraudimo politiką]]. Skirtingai nuo valdybos nutarimų ar šių naudojimo sąlygų, bendruomenės nustatytas politikos kryptis, kurios gali būti taikomos vienai projekto versijai arba kelioms projekto versijoms (pvz., Visuotinio draudimo politika), atitinkama Bendruomenė gali keisti pagal savo procedūras.

Paskyros ar prieigos blokavimas arba naudotojo uždraudimas pagal šią nuostatą vykdomas pagal šių naudojimo sąlygų 13 skirsnį.

Jei manote, kad netinkamai reagavome į pranešimą apie probleminį turinį, arba jei jums buvo pritaikytas fondo moderavimo veiksmas, kurį norite užginčyti, galite [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|pateikti apeliaciją]]. Kita informacija apie apskundimo būdus taip pat gali būti paaiškinta tuo metu arba konkretaus projekto pagalbos puslapiuose.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pasiliekame teisę (laikinai arba visam laikui) sustabdyti vartotojų ar trečiųjų šalių pranešimų ar kitokio susirašinėjimo apdorojimą dėl tariamai neteisėto ar kitaip probleminio turinio ar elgesio, arba prašymų apskųsti moderavimo veiksmus, jeigu toks susirašinėjimas buvo nesąžiningas, pasikartojantis, arba neprotinga. ir (arba) įžeidžiantis. Atitinkamomis aplinkybėmis jūsų el. pašto adresas gali būti užblokuotas mūsų el. pašto sistemoje (-ose) ir tuomet turėsite susisiekti su mumis mūsų [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|pašto adresu]], jei norite ir toliau su mumis susirašinėti, kol esate užblokuotas. . Mažiau rimtais atvejais (pvz., iki trijų mandagių el. laiškų dėl vieno ar kelių nepagrįstų skundų) tai gali būti laikina. Tikėtina, kad dažnesni ar įžeidžiantys pranešimai lems nuolatinius veiksmus.

Jei norite pateikti mums teisinį ieškinį, sutinkate jį pateikti ir spręsti tik San Francisko apygardoje, Kalifornijoje, esančiame valstijos arba federaliniame teisme. Taip pat sutinkate, kad šioms naudojimo sąlygoms, taip pat bet kokiems teisiniams reikalavimams, kurie gali kilti tarp jūsų ir mūsų, bus taikomi Kalifornijos valstijos įstatymai ir, kiek tai taikytina, Jungtinių Amerikos Valstijų įstatymai (neatsižvelgiant į įstatymų kolizijos principus). Sutinkate paklusti San Francisko apygardoje, Kalifornijoje, esančių teismų asmeninei jurisdikcijai ir sutinkate, kad bet koks su mumis ar šiomis Naudojimo sąlygomis susijęs teisminis veiksmas ar procesas būtų vykdomas San Francisko apygardoje, Kalifornijoje, esančiuose teismuose.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Siekdami užtikrinti, kad ginčai būtų sprendžiami netrukus po to, kai jie kyla, sutinkate, kad nepriklausomai nuo priešingo įstatymo ar teisės akto, bet kokia pretenzija ar ieškinys, kurį galite pareikšti dėl naudojimosi mūsų paslaugomis ar šiomis Naudojimo sąlygomis, turi būti pateiktas per taikomą senaties terminą arba, jei jis ankstesnis, per vienerius (1) metus po to, kai atitinkami faktai, kuriais grindžiama tokia pretenzija ar ieškinys, galėjo būti nustatyti dedant protingas pastangas (arba jis bus visam laikui nutrauktas).

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Kaip aprašyta šių Naudojimo sąlygų 4 skyriuje, jūs sutinkate išspręsti informacijos apie mokamus teikinius atskleidimo reikalavimų pažeidimus pagal Rinkodaros įmonės mediacijos procedūrą Fondo nuožiūra. Rinkodaros įmonės mediacija – tai '''privaloma''' mediacija, kai, pasibaigus pusės arba visos dienos sesijai, tarpininkas teisiškai privalomu sprendimu išsprendžia visus neišspręstus ginčytinus klausimus. Jie bus rengiami telekonferencijos arba vaizdo konferencijos posėdžiuose. Jei reikia asmeninio susitikimo, tarpininkavimas rinkodaros bendrovėje vyks San Francisko apygardoje, Kalifornijoje. Visas su mediacija ir (arba) arbitražu susijusias rinkliavas ir išlaidas šalys pasidalys lygiomis dalimis.

Vykstant rinkodaros įmonės mediacija procedūrai, sutinkate bendradarbiauti su Fondu, be kita ko, laiku pateikti visus turimus dokumentus, susijusius su jūsų neatskleista mokama redagavimo veikla, įskaitant naudojamas paskyras, straipsnius ir klientus, kurie pirko tokias paslaugas.

Rinkodaros bendrovės mediacijos procedūroms taikomas ir reglamentuojamas Federalinis arbitražo įstatymas tiek, kiek tarpininkas tampa arbitru. Bylą laimėjusi šalis turi teisę susigrąžinti išlaidas advokato pagalbai apmokėti (įskaitant visas išlaidas, reikalingas rinkodaros bendrovės mediacijai taikymui nustatyti ir privalomam rezultatui užtikrinti) ir visas išlaidas, susijusias su jos teisių tyrimu ir įgyvendinimu. Šalis gali būti laikoma laimėjusia bylą, net jei buvo patenkintos ne visos jos pateiktos pretenzijos.

Jei dėl kokių nors priežasčių visi šie Rinkodaros įmonės mediacijos reikalavimai būtų pripažinti neįgyvendinamais, sutinkate visus ginčus spręsti taip, kaip aprašyta šio skyriaus pradžioje.

Pasiliekame teisę savo nuožiūra bet kuriuo metu nustatyti naudojimo ir saugojimo apribojimus, apie tai pranešdami arba nepranešdami.

Kai kuriose valstijose ar jurisdikcijose neleidžiama taikyti šiame skyriuje nurodytų atsakomybės atsisakymo tipų, todėl, atsižvelgiant į įstatymus, jie jums gali būti iš dalies arba visiškai netaikomi.&lt;/div&gt;

Vikimedijos fondo nebus atsakingas nei jums, nei jokiai kitai šaliai už bet kokią tiesioginę, netiesioginę, atsitiktinę, specialią, netiesioginę ar pavyzdinę žalą, be kita ko, žalą dėl prarasto pelno, geros reputacijos, naudojimo, duomenų ar kitų nematerialių nuostolių, netgi jeigu mums buvo pranešta apie tokios žalos galimybę. Mūsų atsakomybė jokiu atveju neviršija vieno tūkstančio JAV dolerių (1000,00 USD). Jei pagal galiojančius įstatymus negalima apriboti ar netaikyti atsakomybės už atsitiktinę ar netiesioginę žalą, pirmiau nurodytas apribojimas ar netaikymas jums gali būti netaikomas, nors mūsų atsakomybė bus apribota tiek, kiek leidžia galiojantys įstatymai.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Šių Naudojimo sąlygų pakeitimas ==

Kaip Vikimedijos bendruomenės indėlis yra labai svarbus plečiant ir prižiūrint projektus, taip ir mes manome, kad bendruomenės indėlis yra labai svarbus, kad šios Naudojimo sąlygos tinkamai tarnautų mūsų naudotojams. Tai taip pat labai svarbu siekiant sudaryti sąžiningą sutartį. Todėl šias Naudojimo sąlygas, taip pat bet kokius esminius būsimus šių Naudojimo sąlygų pakeitimus pateiksime bendruomenei, kad ji galėtų pateikti pastabas likus ne mažiau kaip trisdešimčiai (30) dienų iki pastabų teikimo laikotarpio pabaigos. Jei būsima siūloma peržiūra bus esminė, paskelbę siūlomos peržiūros vertimą į bent tris kalbas (pasirinktas mūsų nuožiūra), suteiksime papildomas 30 dienų pastaboms pateikti. Jeigu reikia, bendruomenė bus skatinama išversti siūlomą peržiūrą į kitas kalbas. Jei pakeitimai atliekami dėl teisinių ar administracinių priežasčių, siekiant ištaisyti netikslų teiginį arba reaguojant į bendruomenės pastabas, apie tai pranešame ne vėliau kaip prieš tris (3) dienas.

Kadangi kartais gali prireikti keisti šias Naudojimosi sąlygas, apie tokius pakeitimus ir galimybę pateikti pastabas pranešime Projekto svetainėse ir pranešime [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Tačiau prašome jus periodiškai peržiūrėti naujausią šių Naudojimosi sąlygų redakciją. Jeigu naujoms Naudojimo sąlygoms tapus oficialioms po atitinkamo pranešimo ir pasibaigus peržiūros laikotarpiui toliau naudojatės mūsų paslaugomis, reiškia, sutinkate su šiomis Naudojimo sąlygomis. Jei nesutinkate su mūsų Naudojimo sąlygomis, negalite naudotis mūsų paslaugomis, kad apsaugotumėte Vikimedijos fondo fondą ir kitus naudotojus, tokius kaip jūs.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Kitos sąlygos ==

Šios naudojimo sąlygos nesukuria darbo, atstovavimo, partnerystės, bendros kontrolės ar bendros įmonės santykių tarp jūsų ir mūsų, Vikimedijos fondo. Pagal Europos ekonominės erdvės teisę, Jungtinės Karalystės teisę ar kitus įstatymus, kuriuose vartojama panaši sąvoka, kai naudojatės paslaugomis, jūs neveikiate „pagal Fondo įgaliojimą”. Jei su mumis nepasirašėte atskiros sutarties, šios Naudojimo sąlygos sudaro visą susitarimą tarp jūsų ir mūsų. Jei kyla prieštaravimų tarp šių Naudojimo sąlygų ir jūsų ir mūsų pasirašytos rašytinės sutarties, vadovaujamasi pasirašyta sutartimi.

Sutinkate, kad pranešimus, įskaitant tuos, kurie susiję su naudojimo sąlygų pakeitimais, galime jums teikti el. paštu, paprastu paštu arba skelbti Projekte ar Projektų svetainėse.

Jei bet kokiomis aplinkybėmis netaikysime ar nevykdysime kurios nors šių Naudojimo sąlygų nuostatos, tai nereiškia, kad tos nuostatos atsisakoma.

Suprantate, kad nesant kitokio mūsų raštiško susitarimo, nesitikite jokio atlygio už bet kokią veiklą, teikinį ar idėją, kurią pateikiate mums, bendruomenei, Projektams ar Projektų redakcijoms.

Nepaisant jokių priešingų šių Naudojimo sąlygų nuostatų, mes (Vikimedijos fondo) ir jūs susitariame nekeisti taikomų nemokamos licencijos, kuri naudojama Projektuose ar Projektų leidiniuose, sąlygų ir reikalavimų, kai tokią nemokamą licenciją leidžia šios Naudojimo sąlygos.

Šios Naudojimo sąlygos parengtos anglų (JAV) kalba. Nors tikimės, kad šių Naudojimosi sąlygų vertimai yra tikslūs, jei originali angliška versija ir vertimas skiriasi, pirmenybė teikiama originaliai versijai anglų kalba.

Jei kuri nors šių Naudojimo sąlygų nuostata ar jos dalis pripažįstama neteisėta, negaliojančia ar neįgyvendinama, ta nuostata ar jos dalis laikoma atskirta nuo šių Naudojimo sąlygų ir bus įgyvendinama maksimaliai leistina apimtimi, o visos kitos šių Naudojimo sąlygų nuostatos lieka galioti.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Ačiū! ==

Džiaugiamės, kad skyrėte laiko perskaityti šias naudojimo sąlygas, ir labai džiaugiamės, kad prisidedate prie projektų ir naudojatės mūsų paslaugomis. Savo teikiniais padedate kurti kažką tikrai didingo – ne tik svarbų bendrai redaguojamų informacinių projektų rinkinį, kuris lavina ir teikia informaciją milijonams žmonių, kuriems kitu atveju ji būtų neprieinama, bet ir buria gyvybingą bendraminčių bendruomenę, siekiančią labai kilnaus tikslo.

'''''Iedomājieties pasauli, kurā katrs cilvēks var brīvi dalīties ar visu zināšanu kopumu. Tā ir mūsu apņemšanās.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Mūsu vīzijas paziņojums]]

Laipni lūdzam Wikimedia! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (“mēs” vai “mums”, vai “Foundation”), ir bezpeļņas labdarības organizācija, kuras galvenā mītne atrodas Sanfrancisko, Kalifornijā, Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs un [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|kuras misija]] ir dot iespēju un iesaistīt cilvēkus visā pasaulē apkopot un izstrādāt saturu [[{{lwp|Free content}}|ar bezmaksas licenci]] vai publiskajā domēnā un bez maksas to izplatīt efektīvi un globāli.

Lai atbalstītu mūsu dinamisko kopienu, mēs nodrošinām būtisko infrastruktūru un organizatorisko ietvaru daudzvalodu Wikimedia projektiem un to izdevumiem (kā paskaidrots mūsu [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects lapā]]) (turpmāk tekstā — “Projekti”) un citu centienu izstrādei, kas palīdz virzīties uz šīs misijas īstenošanu. Mēs cenšamies padarīt un pastāvīgi uzturēt internetā pieejamo Projektos esošo izglītojošo un informatīvo saturu bez maksas.

Mēs sveicam tevi (&quot;tu&quot; vai &quot;lietotājs&quot;) kā Projektus lasītāju vai ieguldītāju un aicinām tev pievienoties Vikimedjas kopienā. Tomēr pirms dalības lūdzam izlasīt un piekrist turpmāk minētos lietošanas noteikumus (&quot;lietošanas noteikumi&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Šie Lietošanas noteikumi sniedz jums informāciju par mūsu publiski pieejamajiem pakalpojumiem Wikimedia Foundation, mūsu attiecībām ar jums kā lietotāju un tiesībām un pienākumiem, kas palīdz gan mums, gan jums. Mēs viesojam neticami daudz izglītojoša un informatīva satura, ko veido un padara iespējamu tādi lietotāji kā jūs. Parasti mēs paši neveidojam, neuzraugām un neizdzēšam saturu (ar retiem izņēmumiem, piemēram, saskaņā ar tādām politikām kā šie Lietošanas noteikumi, juridiskas atbilstības nodrošināšana vai steidzama nopietna kaitējuma draudi).Tas nozīmē, ka rediģēšanas kontrole ir jūsu un jums līdzīgu satura ieguldītāju rokās, kuri veido un pārvalda saturu.

Kopiena – to lietotāju tīkls, kuri pastāvīgi veido un izmanto Projektus un/vai to tīmekļa vietnes (turpmāk tekstā – “Projektu tīmekļa vietnes”) – ir galvenais veids, kā tiek sasniegti misijas mērķi. Kopiena sniedz ieguldījumu un palīdz pārvaldīt mūsu Projektus un Projektu tīmekļa vietnes. Kopiena arī uzņemas būtisko funkciju izstrādāt un īstenot politikas konkrētiem Projekta izdevumiem (piemēram, Wikipedia Project vai Wikimedia Commons daudzvalodu izdevumam paredzētiem dažādu valodu izdevumiem).

Jūs (lietotājs) esat laipni aicināts pievienoties kā satura ieguldītājs, redaktors vai autors, bet jums ir jāievēro politikas, kas regulē katru no neatkarīgajiem Projektu izdevumiem, tostarp [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Vispārējo rīcības kodeksu]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), kas attiecas uz visiem Projektu izdevumiem. Lielākais no mūsu Projektiem ir Wikipedia, bet mēs viesojam arī citus Projektus, no kuriem katram ir dažādi mērķi un darba metodes. Katrā Projektu izdevumā ir satura ieguldītāju, redaktoru vai autoru komanda, kas sadarbojas, lai izveidotu un pārvaldītu saturu konkrētā Projekta izdevumā. Jūs esat laipni aicināts pievienoties šīm komandām un strādāt ar tām, lai uzlabotu šos Projektus. Tā kā mēs esam apņēmušies padarīt saturu brīvi pieejamu sabiedrībai, jūsu sniegtais saturs ir pieejams ar bezmaksas licenci vai tiek izdots publiskā domēnā.

Lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka jūs esat juridiski atbildīgs par visu savu ieguldījumu, rediģēšanu un Wikimedia satura atkārtotu izmantošanu saskaņā ar Amerikas Savienoto Valstu likumiem un citiem piemērojamiem tiesību aktiem (kas var ietvert jurisdikciju, kurā atrodas jūs vai jūsu ieguldījuma subjekts). . Tas nozīmē, ka ir svarīgi ievērot piesardzību, publicējot, pārveidojot vai atkārtoti izmantojot saturu. Šīs atbildības dēļ mums ir daži noteikumi par to, ko jūs nedrīkstat darīt, un lielākā daļa no tiem ir paredzēti, lai aizsargātu jūs vai citus lietotājus, piemēram, jūs. Lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka mūsu mitinātajam saturam ir tikai vispārīgi informatīvi nolūki, tādēļ, ja jums ir nepieciešams eksperta padoms par konkrētu jautājumu (piemēram, saistībā ar medicīniskiem, juridiskiem vai finanšu jautājumiem), jums ir jāmeklē atbilstošs profesionāls padoms. Mēs iekļaujam arī citus svarīgus paziņojumus un atrunas, tāpēc, lūdzu, izlasiet šos lietošanas noteikumus pilnībā.

Skaidrības labad citas organizācijas, piemēram, [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|vietējās Wikimedia nodaļas]] un asociācijas, kam var būt kopīga misija, tomēr ir juridiski neatkarīgas un nošķirtas no Wikimedia Foundation. Ja vien Wikimedia Foundation nav norādījis citādi kā pilnvarotā persona konkrētā Projekta Tīmekļa vietnē, šīs citas organizācijas nav atbildīgas par Projekta Tīmekļa vietnes darbību vai tās saturu.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Mūsu pakalpojumi ==

Wikimedia Foundation ir apņēmies izstrādāt, attīstīt un izplatīt bezmaksas daudzvalodu saturu un nodrošināt sabiedrībai visu šo wiki projektu saturu bez maksas. Mūsu uzdevums ir uzņemt dažus no lielākajiem kopīgi rediģētajiem atsauces Projektiem pasaulē, [//www.wikimedia.org kurus var atrast šeit]. Tomēr mēs darbojamies tikai kā hostinga pakalpojumu sniedzējs, uzturot infrastruktūru un organizatorisko ietvaru. Šī infrastruktūra un sistēma ļauj mūsu lietotājiem veidot Projektus, pašiem pievienojot un rediģējot saturu. Tie arī ļauj mūsu lietotājiem atkārtoti izmantot šo saturu. Mūsu uzturētā infrastruktūra ietver specializētu tehnoloģisko infrastruktūru, kas lietotājiem ļauj programmēt un atkārtoti izmantot saturu Projektos (“Aplikāciju programmēšanas interfeiss” vai “API”) un mobilajās lietojumprogrammās.

Mūsu pakalpojumi, kas minēti turpmāk Lietošanas noteikumos, sastāv no: [//www.wikimedia.org Savās Projektu Tīmekļa vietnēs mēs viesojam] mūsu uzturēto tehnoloģisko infrastruktūru un visas tehniskās telpas, kuras mēs viesojam savu Projektu uzturēšanai un uzlabošanai.

Mūsu unikālās lomas dēļ ir pāris lietas, kas jums būtu jāzina, attiecībā uz mūsu attiecībām ar jums, mūsu Projektiem un citiem lietotājiem:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Mēs neuzņemamies redakcionālu lomu:''' Tā kā Projekti tiek kopīgi rediģēti, lielāko daļu mūsu viesotā satura nodrošina lietotāji, un mēs nepildām redakcionālu lomu. Tas nozīmē, ka mēs parasti neuzraugām un nerediģējam Projektu Tīmekļa vietņu saturu, un mēs neuzņemamies nekādu atbildību par šo saturu. Līdzīgi, ja vien mēs neesam skaidri norādījuši citādi, mēs neatbalstām nekādus viedokļus, kas izteikti, izmantojot mūsu pakalpojumus, un mēs nepārstāvam un negarantējam nekāda Projektos iesniegtā kopienas satura patiesumu, precizitāti vai uzticamību.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Jūs esat atbildīgs par savām darbībām:''' Jūs esat juridiski atbildīgs par saviem labojumiem un ieguldījumiem Projektos, satura atkārtotu izmantošanu Projektos, API izmantošanu un mūsu pakalpojumu izmantošanu vispārīgā nozīmē. Jūsu pašu aizsardzībai jums jāievēro piesardzība un jāizvairās no jebkādu darbību veikšanas, kuru rezultātā saskaņā ar piemērojamiem tiesību aktiem var tikt piemērota kriminālatbildība vai civiltiesiska atbildība. Skaidrības labad piemērojamie tiesību akti ietver vismaz Amerikas Savienoto Valstu un Kalifornijas štata tiesību aktus. Citām valstīm to nosaka katrā gadījumā atsevišķi. Lai gan mēs varam nepiekrist šādām darbībām, mēs brīdinām lietotājus, jo īpaši redaktorus, satura ieguldītājus un autorus, ka ārpus ASV esošas varas iestādes var jums piemērot citus valsts tiesību aktus, tostarp vietējos tiesību aktus, jurisdikcijās, kurās dzīvojat, skatāt vai rediģējat saturu. Parasti mēs nevaram piedāvāt nekādu aizsardzību, garantijas, atbrīvojumus vai zaudējumu atlīdzināšanu pret šādu tiesību aktu piemērošanu.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Privātuma politika ==

Mēs lūdzam jūs pārskatīt [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|mūsu Privātuma politikas noteikumus]], lai jūs zinātu, kā mēs vācam un izmantojam jūsu informāciju.

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Iespējams, ka kāds materiāls ir apšaubāms vai kļūdains:''' Tā kā mēs viesojam plašu satura klāstu, ko veido vai apkopo citi lietotāji, jūs varat saskarties ar materiāliem, kurus jūs uzskatāt par aizskarošiem, kļūdainiem, maldinošiem, nepareizi marķētiem vai citādi apšaubāmiem. Tādēļ, izmantojot mūsu pakalpojumus, lūdzam darīt to ar veselo saprātu un pieņemot saprātīgus lēmumus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Projektu saturs ir paredzēts tikai vispārīgiem informatīviem nolūkiem:''' Lai gan mūsu Projektos ir daudz informācijas, kas attiecas uz profesionālām tēmām, tostarp medicīniskiem, juridiskiem vai finansiāliem jautājumiem, šis saturs tiek piedāvāts tikai vispārīgiem informatīviem nolūkiem. To nevajadzētu uzskatīt par profesionālu padomu. Lūdzu, meklējiet neatkarīgas profesionālas konsultācijas no kādas personas, kas ir licencēta vai kvalificēta attiecīgajā jomā, lai rīkotos saskaņā ar jebkuru informāciju, viedokli vai padomu, kas ietverts kādā no Projektu tīmekļa vietnēm.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

== 4. Atturēšanās no noteiktām darbībām ==

Wikimedia Foundation viesotie Projekti pastāv tikai tāpēc, ka pastāv dinamiska lietotāju kopiena, piemēram, jūs, kuri sadarbojas satura rakstīšanā, rediģēšanā un organizēšanā. Mēs ar prieku atzinīgi vērtējam jūsu dalību šajā kopienā. Mēs aicinām jūs būt laipniem un pieklājīgiem savā mijiedarbībā ar citiem kopienas locekļiem, rīkoties godprātīgi un veikt labojumus un satura ieguldījumus, kuru mērķis ir veicināt kopīgā Projekta misiju. Mēs lūdzam visus lietotājus pārskatīt un ievērot [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Vispārējo rīcības kodeksu]] (“UCoC”), kurā noteiktas prasības koleģiālai, cilvēciskai sadarbībai visos mūsu vadītajos Projektos.

Noteiktas darbības, vai tās ir likumīgas vai nelikumīgas saskaņā ar piemērojamiem tiesību aktiem, var kaitēt citiem lietotājiem un pārkāpt mūsu noteikumus, un dažu darbību veikšanas rezultātā jūs varat arī tikt saukts pie atbildības. Tāpēc jūsu un citu lietotāju aizsardzības labad jūs nedrīkstat iesaistīties šādās aktivitātēs mūsu Projektos vai kā citādi saistībā ar tiem. Šīs darbības ietver tālāk minēto.

::* jums ir jāatklāj katrs darba devējs, klients, paredzētais labuma guvējs un saistītās personas attiecībā uz jebkuru satura ieguldījumu, par kuru jūs saņemat vai plānojat saņemt kompensāciju. Jums šī informācija jāizpauž vismaz vienā no šiem veidiem:
:::* paziņojums jūsu lietotāja lapā;
:::* paziņojums sarunu lapā, kas pievienota jebkuram apmaksātam satura ieguldījumam, vai
:::* rediģēšanas kopsavilkumā iekļauts paziņojums, kas pievienots jebkuram apmaksātam satura ieguldījumam.
::* turklāt, ja ievietojat publisku ziņu ārpus Projektu reklāmas rediģēšanas pakalpojumiem Wikipedia apmaiņā pret jebkāda veida kompensāciju, jums ir jāatklāj visi Wikimedia konti, kurus esat izmantojis vai izmantosiet šim pakalpojumam publiskajā ziņā trešās puses pakalpojumā;
::* piemērojamie tiesību akti vai Projektam specifiskas politikas un Wikipedia Foundation politikas un vadlīnijas, piemēram, tās, kas risina interešu konfliktus, var vēl vairāk ierobežot apmaksātos satura ieguldījumus vai pieprasīt detalizētāku informācijas izpaušanu. Piemēram, Wikimedia preču zīmju (definētas turpmāk 6. sadaļā) pārkāpšana, lai reklamētu maksas rediģēšanas pakalpojumus, atbrīvošana no informācijas izpaušanas attiecībā uz iepriekš apmaksātiem rediģēšanas darbiem ar pietiekami izpaustu informāciju vai apmaksāta rediģēšana bezsaistē tādā veidā, kas padara pietiekamu informācijas izpaušanu par praktiski neiespējamu, pārkāpj šajā sadaļā minēto;
::* Wikimedia Project kopiena var pieņemt alternatīvu apmaksāto satura ieguldījumu informācijas izpaušanas politiku, kas var papildināt vai aizstāt šo sadaļu. Ja Projekts pieņem alternatīvu informācijas izpaušanas politiku, jūs varat ievērot šo politiku, nevis šīs sadaļas prasības (t.i. ar nosaukumu — “Apmaksāti satura ieguldījumi bez informācijas izpaušanas”), veicot satura ieguldījumu šajā konkrētajā Projektā.

Lai iegūtu plašāku informāciju, lūdzu, izlasiet mūsu [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|BUJ par apmaksāto satura ieguldījumu informācijas izpaušanu]].


Neatklāta rediģēšana, ko veic lietotāji, kas saņem atlīdzību, rada nesamērīgu slogu brīvprātīgajiem redaktoriem, [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|kuri izpēta un īsteno kopienas politikas]]. Tādēļ, ja tiek pārkāpta šī sadaļa saistībā ar neatklātu apmaksātu rediģēšanu, jūs piekrītat iesniegt saistošu “Med-Arb” (“Mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācija”), kā aprakstīts šo Lietošanas noteikumu 14. sadaļā.

Mēs paturam tiesības īstenot savu rīcības brīvību attiecībā uz šo Lietošanas noteikumu 4. sadaļas noteikumiem. Ja nepieciešams, šo noteikumu izpilde var ietvert darbības, kas nav uzskaitītas Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Biroja darbības politikā]]. Ja noteikumu izpilde ir veicama nebijušos apstākļos, mēs centīsimies ne vairāk kā viena (1) gada laikā atjaunināt Biroja darbības politiku, lai dokumentētu jauno darbības veidu.

== 6. Preču zīmes ==

Lai gan jums ir ievērojama rīcības brīvība atkārtoti izmantot Projektu Tīmekļa vietnēs esošo saturu, ir svarīgi, lai Wikimedia Foundation aizsargātu savas preču zīmju tiesības, lai mēs varētu aizsargāt savus lietotājus no krāpnieciskiem atdarinātājiem. Tāpēc mēs lūdzam jūs cienīt mūsu preču zīmes. Visas Wikimedia Foundation preču zīmes pieder Wikimedia Foundation, un jebkurai mūsu tirdzniecības nosaukumu, preču zīmju, pakalpojumu zīmju, logotipu vai domēnu nosaukumu izmantošanai ir jāatbilst šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem un jābūt saskaņā ar mūsu [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Preču zīmju politiku]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Satura licencēšana ==

Lai vairotu brīvo zināšanu un brīvās kultūras kopumu, visiem lietotājiem, kas sniedz satura ieguldījumu Projektos vai Projektu tīmekļa vietnēs, ir jāpiešķir visaptverošas atļaujas plašai sabiedrībai brīvi izplatīt un atkārtoti izmantot viņu satura ieguldījumus, ja vien šāda izmantošana ir pienācīgi attiecināta un visiem atvasinātajiem darbiem tiek piešķirta vienāda atkalizmantošanas un tālākizplatītības brīvība. Saskaņā ar mūsu mērķi sniegt bezmaksas informāciju visplašākajai iespējamajai auditorijai, mēs pieprasām, lai nepieciešamības gadījumā viss iesniegtais saturs tiktu licencēts tā, lai to varētu brīvi atkārtoti izmantot ikviens, kas tam var piekļūt.

Jūs piekrītat tālāk minētajām licencēšanas prasībām:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Teksts, attiecībā pret kuru jums pastāv autortiesības:''' Iesniedzot tekstu, attiecībā pret kuru jums pastāv autortiesības, jūs piekrītat to licencēt saskaņā ar:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 starptautiskā licence] (“CC BY-SA 4.0”) un
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html  GNU Brīvās Dokumentācijas Licence] (“GFDL”) (nepārveidota, bez nemainīgām sadaļām, priekšvāka tekstiem vai aizmugures vāka tekstiem).

Lietotāji var ievērot vai nu vienu licenci, vai abas.&lt;br /&gt;
Vienīgais izņēmums ir tad, ja Projekta izdevumam vai funkcijai ir nepieciešama cita licence. Šādā gadījumā jūs piekrītat licencēt jebkuru tekstu, ko iesniedzat, saskaņā ar konkrēto licenci, kas noteikta Projekta izdevumā vai funkcijā.

Lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka šīs licences atļauj jūsu satura ieguldījumu komerciālu izmantošanu, ja vien šāda izmantošana atbilst attiecīgo licenču nosacījumiem. Ja jums pieder Sui Generis datu bāzes tiesības, uz kurām attiecas CC BY-SA 4.0, jūs atsakāties no šīm tiesībām. Piemēram, fakti, kurus jūs iesniedzat Projektos, var tikt brīvi izmantoti bez attiecinājuma.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Attiecinājums:''' Attiecinājums ir svarīga šo licenču daļa. Par to mēs uzskatām atsauču sniegšanu, vietās tekstā, kur tas nepieciešams – atsaukties uz tādiem autoriem kā jūs. Iesniedzot tekstu, jūs piekrītat tikt attiecināts jebkurā no šādiem veidiem:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Izmantojot hipersaiti (ja iespējams) vai URL uz rakstu, kurā esat sniedzis satura ieguldījumu (jo katrā rakstā ir vēstures lapa, kurā uzskaitīti visi satura ieguldītāji, autori un redaktori).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Izmantojot hipersaiti (ja iespējams) vai URL uz alternatīvu, stabilu tiešsaistes kopiju, kas ir brīvi pieejama un atbilst attiecīgajai licencei un kas atsaucas uz autoriem tādā veidā, kas ir līdzvērtīgs Projekta Tīmekļa vietnē sniegtajām atsaucēm; vai&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Veidojot visu autoru sarakstu (bet, lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka jebkurš autoru saraksts var tikt filtrēts, lai izslēgtu ļoti nelielus vai nebūtiskus saturiskus ieguldījumus).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Teksta importēšana:''' Jūs varat importēt tekstu, ko esat atradis citur vai kuram esat bijis līdzautors, bet šādā gadījumā jūs apliecināt un garantējat, ka teksts ir pieejams saskaņā ar noteikumiem, kas ir saderīgi ar CC BY-SA (vai, kā paskaidrots iepriekš, citu licenci, ja izņēmuma kārtā to pieprasa Projekta izdevums vai funkcija).Saderīgo licenču sarakstu skatiet tīmekļa vietnē [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Jūs nedrīkstat importēt saturu, kas ir pieejams tikai saskaņā ar GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Jūs piekrītat, ka, ja importējat tekstu saskaņā ar CC licenci, kurai nepieciešams attiecinājums, jums ir jāatsaucas uz autoru(-iem) saprātīgā veidā. Ja šāda atsauce parasti tiek piešķirta, izmantojot lapu vēsturi (piemēram, Wikimedia iekšējo kopēšanu), pietiek ar attiecinājumu rediģēšanas kopsavilkumā, kas tiek ierakstīts lapu vēsturē, importējot tekstu. Attiecinājuma prasības dažkārt ir pārāk traucējošas konkrētiem apstākļiem (neatkarīgi no licences), un var būt gadījumi, kad Wikimedia kopiena nolemj, ka importēto tekstu nevar izmantot šī iemesla dēļ.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Informācijas līdzekļi, kas nav teksts:''' Informācijas līdzekļi, kas nav teksts, Projektos ir pieejami ar dažādām licencēm, kas atbalsta vispārējo mērķi atļaut neierobežotu atkārtotu izmantošanu un izplatīšanu. Iesniedzot informācijas līdzekļus, kas nav teksts, jūs piekrītat ievērot prasības attiecībā uz licencēm, kā aprakstīts mūsu [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licencēšanas politikā]], kā arī ievērot konkrētā Projekta izdevuma vai funkcijas, kurā jūs sniedzat savu saturisko ieguldījumu, prasības. Lai iegūtu plašāku informāciju par tādu informācijas līdzekļu, kas nav teksts, ievietošanu Wikimedia Commons, skatiet arī [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons licencēšanas politiku]].&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Licences neatcelšana:''' Izņemot gadījumus, kas atbilst jūsu licencei, jūs piekrītat, ka neatcelsiet vai neprasīsiet anulēt nevienu licenci, ko esat piešķīris saskaņā ar šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem attiecībā uz teksta saturu vai tādiem informācijas līdzekļiem, kas nav teksts, ko sniedzat Projektos vai funkcijās, pat ja pārtraucat mūsu pakalpojumu izmantošanu.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Publiskā domēna saturs:''' Saturs, kas izvietots publiskā domēnā, ir pieņemams. Tomēr ir svarīgi, lai jūs apliecinātu satura publiskā domēna statusu saskaņā ar Amerikas Savienoto Valstu tiesību aktiem, kā arī citu valstu tiesību aktiem, kā to pieprasa konkrētais Projekta izdevums. Kad jūs sniedzat saturu, kas izvietots publiskā domēnā, jūs garantējat, ka materiāls faktiski ir publiskā domēnā, un jūs piekrītat to atbilstoši marķēt.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Atkārtota lietošana:''' Mēs atzinīgi vērtējam mūsu viesotā satura atkalizmantošanu, lai gan pastāv izņēmumi attiecībā uz saturu, kas saskaņā ar piemērojamajiem autortiesību tiesību aktiem ir sniegts saskaņā ar “godīgu izmantošanu” vai līdzīgiem izņēmumiem. Jebkurai atkārtotai izmantošanai jāatbilst pamata licencei(-ēm).&lt;br /&gt;

Atkārtoti lietojot vai izplatot Wikimedia kopienas izstrādāto teksta lapu, jūs piekrītat attiecināt autorus kādā no šiem veidiem.
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Izmantojot hipersaiti (ja iespējams) vai URL uz lapu vai lapām, kuras jūs atkārtoti izmantojat (jo katrā lapā ir vēstures lapa, kurā uzskaitīti visi satura ieguldītāji, autori un redaktori);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Izmantojot hipersaiti (ja iespējams) vai URL uz alternatīvu, stabilu tiešsaistes kopiju, kas ir brīvi pieejama un atbilst licencei un kas atsaucas uz autoriem tādā veidā, kas ir līdzvērtīgs Projekta Tīmekļa vietnē sniegtajām atsaucēm; vai&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Veidojot visu autoru sarakstu (bet, lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka jebkurš autoru saraksts var tikt filtrēts, lai izslēgtu ļoti nelielus vai nebūtiskus saturiskus ieguldījumus).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Ja teksta saturs tika importēts no cita avota, ir iespējams, ka saturs ir licencēts ar saderīgu CC BY-SA licenci, bet ne GFDL (kā aprakstīts iepriekš sadaļā “Teksta importēšana”).Šādā gadījumā jūs piekrītat ievērot saderīgo CC BY-SA licenci un jums nav iespējas to atkārtoti licencēt saskaņā ar GFDL. Lai noteiktu licenci, kas attiecas uz saturu, ko mēģināt atkārtoti izmantot vai tālākizplatīt, ir jāpārskata lapas kājene, lapas vēsture un diskusiju lapa.

Turklāt, lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka tekstam, kas iegūts no ārējiem avotiem un tiek importēts Projektā, var būt licence, kas pievieno papildu attiecinājuma prasības. Lietotāji piekrīt skaidri norādīt šīs papildu attiecinājuma prasības. Atkarībā no Projekta šādas prasības var parādīties, piemēram, reklāmkarogā vai citās indeksācijās, norādot, ka daļa vai viss saturs sākotnēji tika publicēts citur. Ja ir redzama šāda indeksācija, atkārtotiem izmantotājiem tā jāsaglabā.

Attiecībā uz jebkuru tādu informācijas līdzekli, kas nav teksts, jūs piekrītat ievērot piemērojamo licenci, saskaņā ar kuru darbs ir padarīts pieejams (to var atrast, noklikšķinot uz darba un aplūkojot licencēšanas sadaļu tā apraksta lapā vai pārskatot šim darbam piemērojamo avota lapu).Atkārtoti izmantojot mūsu viesoto saturu, jūs piekrītat ievērot attiecīgās attiecinājuma prasības, kas attiecas uz pamatā esošo licenci vai licencēm.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Materiāla, kuru atkārtoti izmantojat, izmaiņas vai papildinājumi:''' Veicot izmaiņas vai papildinājumus tekstam, ko esat ieguvis no Projekta Tīmekļa vietnes, jūs piekrītat licencēt mainīto vai pievienoto saturu saskaņā ar CC BY-SA 4.0 vai jaunāku versiju (vai, kā paskaidrots iepriekš, citu licenci, ja to izņēmuma kārtā pieprasa konkrētais Projekta izdevums vai funkcija).&lt;br /&gt;

Veicot izmaiņas vai papildinājumus jebkuram tādam informācijas līdzeklim, kas nav teksts, ko esat ieguvis no Projekta Tīmekļa vietnes, jūs piekrītat licencēt modificēto vai pievienoto saturu saskaņā ar jebkuru licenci, saskaņā ar kuru darbs ir padarīts pieejams.&lt;br /&gt;

Izmantojot gan teksta saturu, gan tādus informācijas līdzekļus, kas nav teksts, jūs piekrītat skaidri norādīt, ka sākotnējais darbs ir pārveidots. Ja atkārtoti izmantojat teksta saturu wikivietnē, pietiek norādīt lapas vēsturē, ka esat veicis izmaiņas importētajā tekstā. Katrā jūsu izplatītajā kopijā vai pārveidotajā versijā jūs piekrītat iekļaut licencēšanas paziņojumu, kurā norādīts, ar kuru licenci darbs tiek izlaists, kā arī hipersaiti vai URL uz licences tekstu vai pašas licences kopiju.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation vēlas nodrošināt, ka mūsu viesoto saturu var atkārtoti izmantot citi lietotāji, nebaidoties no atbildības, un ka tas nepārkāpj citu personu īpašumtiesības. Esot godīgiem pret mūsu lietotājiem, kā arī citiem satura radītājiem un autortiesību īpašniekiem, mūsu politika paredz atbildēt uz paziņojumiem par iespējamu pārkāpumu, kas atbilst Digitālās tūkstošgades autortiesību likuma (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA) formalitātēm. Saskaņā ar DMCA attiecīgos apstākļos mēs pārtrauksim tādu mūsu sistēmas un tīkla lietotāju un kontu turētāju darbību, kuri atkārtoti veic pārkāpumus mūsu Projektos un pakalpojumos.

Tomēr mēs arī apzināmies, ka ne katrs paziņojums par izslēgšanu ir derīgs vai labticīgs. Šādos gadījumos mēs stingri aicinām lietotājus iesniegt atbildes paziņojumus, ja viņi pienācīgi uzskata, ka ar DMCA pārkāpumu saistītais izslēgšanas pieprasījums ir nederīgs vai nepamatots. Lai iegūtu papildinformāciju par to, kā rīkoties, ja uzskatāt, ka DMCA paziņojums ir nepareizi iesniegts, iespējams, vēlēsities apmeklēt [//lumendatabase.org/Lumen Database] tīmekļa vietni.

Ja esat satura īpašnieks, kas tiek neatbilstoši izmantots kādā no Projektiem bez jūsu atļaujas, varat pieprasīt satura dzēšanu, iesniedzot paziņojumu saskaņā ar DMCA. Lai iesniegtu šādu pieprasījumu, lūdzu, rakstiet mums uz e-pasta adresi {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} vai [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|nosūtiet to pa pastu mūsu ieceltajam aģentam]].

Alternatīvi, jūs varat iesniegt pieprasījumu mūsu kopienai, kas bieži strādā ar autortiesību jautājumiem ātrāk un efektīvāk, nekā tas notiek saskaņā ar DMCA noteikto procesu. Šādā gadījumā varat publicēt paziņojumu, kurā izskaidrotas jūsu bažas par autortiesībām. Lai iegūtu nepilnīgu un neoficiālu sarakstu ar attiecīgajiem procesiem, kas attiecas uz dažādiem Projektu izdevumiem, apmeklējiet lapu [[:m:Copyright problems|Ar autortiesībām saistītās problēmas]]. Pirms DMCA prasības iesniegšanas jums ir arī iespēja nosūtīt e-pasta paziņojumu kopienai uz adresi {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 10. Tīmekļa vietņu pārvaldība ==

Kopienai ir galvenā loma dažādu Projektu izdevumu politikas veidošanā un īstenošanā. Wikimedia Foundation reti iesaistās kopienas lēmumos par politiku un tās izpildi.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ir iespējams mums paziņot par nelikumīgu saturu vai saturu, kas pārkāpj mūsu Lietošanas noteikumus (tostarp visas politikas un citus dokumentus, kas iekļauti ar atsauci) citu iemeslu dēļ, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|sazinoties tieši ar mums]]. Tomēr parasti jūs varat iesniegt pieprasījumu tieši Projekta kopienai: tas var būt efektīvāk un vairāk atbilst mūsu Projektu mērķim pilnvarot lietotāju kopienu.
&lt;/div&gt;


Katrs Projekts parasti nodrošina lapas “Palīdzība” vai “Kontakti”, kas sniedz papildu norādījumus vai konkrētus rīkus ziņošanai par problēmām. Ja rodas šaubas, varat lūgt palīdzību kopienas locekļiem, nosūtot e-pasta ziņojumu uz adresi {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} vai saziņai konkrētā valodā paredzētu adresi, ko iespējams atrast [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Brīvprātīgo atbilžu komandas lapā]]. Lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka šīs pastkastes uzrauga Projektu lietotāji, nevis Wikimedia Fondation. Tāpēc lietotājiem nedrīkst draudēt vai izsniegt tiem juridiskas prasības.

Ja jūs sazināties ar Wikimedia Fondation, lai risinātu problēmu, mēs parasti izpētīsim, vai un kā esošie kopienas vadītie mehānismi var to izmeklēt un, ja nepieciešams, to atrisināsim.

Retos gadījumos var rasties nepieciešamība vai kopiena var lūgt mums vērsties pie īpaši problemātiska lietotāja vai īpaši problemātiska satura, jo pastāv būtiski Projekta traucējumi vai bīstama uzvedība. Šādos gadījumos mēs paturam tiesības pēc saviem ieskatiem (vai gadījumos, kad tas ir likumā noteikts):

* izpētīt, kā jūs izmantojat Projektus vai mūsu pakalpojumus, (a) lai noteiktu, vai nav noticis šo Lietošanas noteikumu, Projekta izdevumu politikas vai citu piemērojamo tiesību aktu vai politikas pārkāpums, vai (b) lai ievērotu piemērojamos tiesību aktus, juridisko procesu vai atbilstošu valdības pieprasījumu;
* atklāt, novērst vai citādi apkarot krāpniecību, nepatiesu vai nepārbaudāmu informāciju, drošības vai tehniskas problēmas vai atbildēt uz lietotāju atbalsta pieprasījumiem;
* atteikt, atspējot vai ierobežot piekļuvi jebkura tāda lietotāja satura ieguldījumiem, kurš pārkāpj šos Lietošanas noteikumus;
* aizliegt lietotājam rediģēt vai sniegt satura ieguldījumu vai bloķēt lietotāja kontu vai piekļūt darbībām, kas pārkāpj šos Lietošanas noteikumus, tostarp atkārtoti publicēt nelikumīgu materiālu saskaņā ar piemērojamiem tiesību aktiem saskaņā ar cilvēktiesību principiem;
* veikt tiesvedību pret lietotājiem, kuri pārkāpj šos Lietošanas noteikumus (tostarp ziņot tiesībsargājošajām iestādēm); un
* citādi pārvaldīt Projektu Tīmekļa vietnes tādā veidā, kas paredzēts, lai veicinātu to pareizu darbību un aizsargātu mūsu un mūsu lietotāju, licences devēju, partneru un sabiedrības tiesības, īpašumu un drošību.

Par šīm Wikimedia Foundation moderācijas darbībām var tikt ziņots vai tās var tikt veiktas ar programmatūras palīdzību (piemēram, datplūsmas pārpludināšanas (“Pakalpojuma atteikums”) aizsardzību).Šādos gadījumos cilvēku veikta pārskatīšana parasti ir pieejama [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|pēc pieprasījuma]].

Mūsu lietotāju un Projektu interesēs ārkārtējos apstākļos, kad jebkurai personai ir bloķēts konts vai piekļuve saskaņā ar šo sadaļu, tai ir aizliegts izveidot vai izmantot citu kontu tajā pašā Projektā vai iegūt piekļuvi tam, ja vien mēs nesniedzam nepārprotamu atļauju. Neierobežojot kopienas pilnvaras, Wikimedia Foundation neaizliedz lietotājam rediģēt vai papildināt saturu un nebloķēs lietotāja kontu vai piekļuvi tikai labticīgas kritikas dēļ, kas neizraisa darbības, kas citādi pārkāpj šos Lietošanas noteikumus vai kopienas politikas.

Wikimedia kopiena un tās dalībnieki var rīkoties arī tad, ja to atļauj konkrētā Projekta izdevumam piemērojamās kopienas vai Wikimedia Foundation politikas, tostarp, bet ne tikai, brīdinot, izmeklējot, bloķējot vai aizliedzot piekļuvi lietotājiem, kuri pārkāpj šīs politikas. Jūs piekrītat izpildīt galīgos strīdu izšķiršanas iestāžu lēmumus, ko kopiena izveidojusi konkrētiem Projekta izdevumiem (piemēram, arbitrāžas komitejām); šie lēmumi var ietvert sankcijas, kas noteiktas konkrētā Projekta izdevuma politikā.

Saskaņā ar [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Globālo aizlieguma politiku]] uz īpaši problemātiskiem lietotājiem, kuriem ir bloķēti konti vai piekļuve vairākiem Projektu izdevumiem, var attiekties aizliegums piekļūt visiem Projektu izdevumiem. Pretstatā Padomes rezolūcijām vai šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem kopienas izveidotās politikas, kas var attiekties uz vienu Projekta izdevumu vai vairākiem Projektu izdevumiem (piemēram, Globālo aizlieguma politiku), attiecīgā kopiena var mainīt saskaņā ar savām procedūrām.

Konta vai piekļuves bloķēšana vai lietotāja aizliegšana saskaņā ar šo noteikumu notiek saskaņā ar šo lietošanas noteikumu 13. sadaļu.

Ja jūs uzskatāt, ka mēs neesam apmierinoši rīkojušies saistībā ar problemātiska satura ziņojumu vai ja jūs esat tikuši pakļauti Wikimedia Foundation moderācijas darbībai, ko vēlaties apstrīdēt, jūs varat [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|iesniegt pārsūdzību]]. Tajā brīdī jums var tikt izskaidrota arī cita informācija par pārsūdzības procesiem vai sniegta projektam specifiskās palīdzības lapās.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Mēs paturam tiesības apturēt (pagaidām vai pastāvīgi) mūsu saņemto ziņojumu vai citas lietotāju vai trešo personu korespondences vai pārsūdzības pieprasījumu saistībā ar moderācijas darbībām izskatīšanu neatkarīgi no tā, vai tur minētais saturs vai rīcība ir nelikumīga vai citādi problemātiska, ja šāda korespondence ir veikta ļaunprātīgi, atkārtoti, nepamatoti un/vai aizskaroši. Attiecīgos apstākļos jūsu e-pasta adrese var pat tikt bloķēta mūsu e-pasta sistēmā(-ās), un jums būs jāsazinās ar mums, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|izmantojot mūsu pasta adresi]], ja vēlaties turpmāk sazināties ar mums šīs bloķēšanas periodā. Mazāk smagos gadījumos (piemēram, līdz trim pieklājīgiem e-pasta ziņojumiem par vienu vai vairākām nenozīmīgām sūdzībām) tas, visticamāk, būs īslaicīgi. Biežāka vai aizvainojošāka saziņa, visticamāk, novedīs pie pastāvīgiem ierobežojošiem pasākumiem.

== 11. Rezolūcijas un projektu politikas ==

Wikimedia Foundation Pilnvarnieku padome laiku pa laikam [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|izdod oficiālas politikas]]. Dažas no šīm politikām var būt obligātas konkrētam Projektam vai Projekta izdevumam, un, ja tas tā ir, jūs piekrītat tās ievērot, kā piemērojams.

&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. API noteikumi ==

Mēs piedāvājam API komplektu, kas ietver dokumentāciju un saistītos rīkus, lai lietotāji varētu veidot produktus, kas veicina bezmaksas zināšanas. Izmantojot mūsu API, jūs piekrītat ievērot visas piemērojamās politikas, kas regulē API izmantošanu, tostarp, bet ne tikai, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Lietotāja-Aģenta politiku]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robotu politiku]] un [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API: etiķeti]] (kopā saukti – “API dokumentācija”), kas ir iekļauti šajos Lietošanas noteikumos pie atsaucēm.

== 13. Izbeigšana ==

Lai gan mēs ceram, ka jūs paliksiet un turpināsiet sniegt ieguldījumu Projektos, jūs jebkurā laikā varat pārtraukt izmantot mūsu pakalpojumus. Noteiktos (cerams, maz ticamos) apstākļos vai nu mums, vai Wikimedia kopienai, vai tās dalībniekiem (kā aprakstīts 10. sadaļā) var būt nepieciešams izbeigt daļu vai visus mūsu pakalpojumus, izbeigt šos Lietošanas noteikumus, bloķēt jūsu kontu vai piekļuvi, vai aizliegt jums piekļuvi kā lietotājam. Ja jūsu konts vai piekļuve jebkāda iemesla dēļ tiek bloķēta vai citādi izbeigta, jūsu publiskie saturiskie ieguldījumi un jūsu veikto darbību uzskaite Projektos vai saistībā ar tiem (tostarp jebkāda korespondence, ko esat mums nosūtījis) netiks ietekmēta (saskaņā ar piemērojamajām politikām), un jūs joprojām varēsiet piekļūt mūsu publiskajām lapām tikai ar mērķi lasīt publiski pieejamu saturu Projektos. Tomēr šādos gadījumos, iespējams, nevarēsiet piekļūt savam kontam vai iestatījumiem. Tomēr neatkarīgi no citiem šo Lietošanas noteikumu nosacījumiem mēs paturam tiesības pārtraukt vai izbeigt pakalpojumus jebkurā laikā, ar vai bez iemesla, un ar vai bez iepriekšēja brīdinājuma. Pat pēc tam, kad jūsu lietošana un dalība ir aizliegta, bloķēta vai citādi apturēta, šie Lietošanas noteikumi paliek spēkā attiecībā uz attiecīgajiem noteikumiem, tostarp 1., 3., 4., 6., 7., 9.-16. un 18. sadaļu.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Izcelts uzsvaram''

Mēs ceram, ka ar jums neradīsies nopietnas domstarpības, bet strīda gadījumā aicinām jūs meklēt risinājumu, izmantojot strīdu risināšanas procedūras vai mehānismus, ko nodrošina Projekti vai Projektu izdevumi un Wikimedia Foundation. Ja jūs vēlaties iesniegt prasību pret mums, jūs piekrītat to iesniegt un atrisināt tikai štata vai federālajā tiesā, kas atrodas Sanfrancisko apgabalā, Kalifornijā. Jūs arī piekrītat, ka Kalifornijas štata likumi un, ciktāl tas ir piemērojams, Amerikas Savienoto Valstu tiesību akti regulēs šos Lietošanas noteikumus, kā arī visas juridiskās prasības, kas var rasties starp jums un mums (neņemot vērā tiesību normu kolīzijas principus).Jūs piekrītat pakļauties jurisdikcijai, kas ir spēkā Sanfrancisko apgabalā, Kalifornijā, un, ka tiesas norises vieta atrodas Sanfrancisko apgabalā, Kalifornijā, jebkurā ar mums vai šiem lietošanas noteikumiem saistītā tiesvedībā vai procesā.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Lai nodrošinātu, ka strīdi tiek risināti drīz pēc to rašanās, jūs piekrītat, ka neatkarīgi no jebkādiem tiesību aktiem, kas paredz pretējo, jebkura prasība vai rīcības iemesls, kas jums varētu rasties saistībā ar mūsu pakalpojumu izmantošanu vai šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem, ir jāiesniedz piemērojamajā noilgumā vai, ja agrāk, vienu (1) gadu pēc tam, kad attiecīgie fakti, kas ir pamatā šādai prasībai vai rīcības iemeslam, varētu būt atklāti ar saprātīgu rūpību (vai tikt uz visiem laikiem noslēgti).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Kā aprakstīts šo Lietošanas noteikumu 4. sadaļā, jūs piekrītat novērst pārkāpumus, kas saistīti ar apmaksātiem satura ieguldījumiem bez informācijas izpaušanas mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācijas ceļā pēc Wikimedia Foundation ieskatiem. Mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācijas ir '''saistošas''' mediācijas, kurās pus dienas vai pilnas dienas sesijas beigās par visiem apstrīdētajiem jautājumiem, kas paliek neatrisināti, mediators lemj juridiski saistošā lēmumā. Tās tiks rīkotas sanāksmēs ar telekonferenci vai videokonferenci. Ja ir nepieciešama klātienes sanāksme, tad Mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācija notiks Sanfrancisko apgabalā, Kalifornijā. Puses sadalīs visas ar mediāciju/arbitrāciju saistītās izmaksas un izdevumus vienādi.

Jūs piekrītat Mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācijas ietvaros sadarboties ar Wikimedia Foundation, tostarp savlaicīgi sniedzot jebkādu jūsu rīcībā esošo dokumentāciju saistībā ar jūsu neatklātajām maksas rediģēšanas darbībām, tostarp izmantotajiem kontiem, ietekmētajiem rakstiem un klientiem, kuri iegādājušies šādus pakalpojumus.

Mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācijas ir pakļautas un tās regulē Federālais Šķīrējtiesas likums, attiecībā uz to ciktāl mediators kļūst par šķīrējtiesnesi. Pusei, kam lēmums ir labvēlīgs, ir tiesības pieprasīt atlīdzināt advokātu izdevumus (tostarp visas maksas, kas nepieciešamas, lai noteiktu Mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācijas piemērojamību un īstenotu saistošo rezultātu) un visas izmaksas, kas saistītas ar tās tiesību izmeklēšanu un īstenošanu. Var uzskatīt, ka pusei lēmums bijis labvēlīgs, pat ja tas tā nav katrā izvirzītajā prasībā.

Ja kāda iemesla dēļ tiek konstatēts, ka visas šīs Mārketinga uzņēmumu mediācijas risināmās prasības nav izpildāmas, jūs piekrītat atrisināt visus strīdus, kā aprakstīts šīs sadaļas sākumā.

== 17. Lietošanas noteikumu izmaiņas ==

Tāpat kā Wikimedia kopienas ieguldījums ir būtisks Projektu izaugsmei un uzturēšanai, mēs uzskatām, ka šo Lietošanas noteikumu ievērošanai ir būtiska kopienas iesaiste, lai pienācīgi apkalpotu mūsu lietotājus. Tas ir arī svarīgi, lai panāktu taisnīgu vienošanos. Tāpēc mēs sniegsim šos Lietošanas noteikumus, kā arī jebkādus būtiskus turpmākus šo Lietošanas noteikumu grozījumus kopienai komentēšanai vismaz trīsdesmit (30) dienas pirms komentāru sniegšanas perioda beigām. Ja tālāk ierosinātie pārskatījumi būs būtiski, mēs nodrošināsim papildu 30 dienas komentāru sniegšanai pēc ierosinātās pārskatīšanas tulkojuma publicēšanas vismaz trīs valodās (pēc mūsu ieskatiem).Kopiena tiks mudināta attiecīgā gadījumā tulkot ierosinātos pārskatījumus citās valodās. Lai veiktu izmaiņas juridisku vai administratīvu iemeslu dēļ, labotu neprecizitātes vai ieviestu izmaiņas balstoties uz kopienas komentāriem, mēs sniegsim paziņojumu vismaz trīs (3) dienas iepriekš.

Tā kā laiku pa laikam var būt nepieciešams mainīt šos Lietošanas noteikumus, mēs sniegsim paziņojumu par šādām izmaiņām un iespēju sniegt komentārus, izmantojot Projektu tīmekļa vietnes, un nosūtot paziņojumu [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Tomēr mēs lūdzam jūs periodiski pārskatīt jaunāko šo Lietošanas noteikumu versiju. Turpinot izmantot mūsu pakalpojumus pēc tam, kad jaunie Lietošanas noteikumi ir stājušies spēkā pēc paziņojuma un pārskatīšanas perioda, jūs piekrītat šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem. Wikimedia Foundation un citu tādu lietotāju kā jūs aizsardzībai, ja nepiekrītat mūsu Lietošanas noteikumiem, jūs nevarat izmantot mūsu pakalpojumus.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Citi noteikumi ==

Šie Lietošanas noteikumi nerada nodarbinātības, aģentūras, partnerības, kopīgas kontroles vai kopuzņēmuma attiecības starp jums un mums (Wikimedia Foundation).Eiropas Ekonomikas zonas tiesību aktu, Apvienotās Karalistes tiesību aktu vai citu tiesību aktu, kas ietver līdzīgu jēdzienu, skaidrības nolūkos, kad izmantojat pakalpojumus, jūs “nerīkojaties Wikimedia Foundation pakļautībā”. Ja neesat parakstījis atsevišķu līgumu ar mums, šie Lietošanas noteikumi ir pilna apjoma vienošanās starp jums un mums. Ja pastāv pretrunas starp šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem un parakstītu rakstisku līgumu starp jums un mums, noteicošais ir parakstītais līgums.

Jūs piekrītat, ka mēs varam jums sniegt paziņojumus, tostarp par izmaiņām Lietošanas noteikumos, pa e-pastu, parasto pastu vai publikācijām Projektos vai Projektu tīmekļa vietnēs.

Ja kādā gadījumā mēs nepiemērojam vai neīstenojam kādu no šo Lietošanas noteikumu nosacījumiem, tas nenozīmē atteikšanos no šī nosacījuma.

Jūs saprotat, ka, ja vien mēs neesam rakstiski vienojušies citādi, jums nepienākas kompensācija par jebkādām darbībām, satura ieguldījumiem vai idejām, kuras jūs sniedzat mums, kopienai vai Projektiem vai Projektu izdevumiem.

Neņemot vērā jebkādus nosacījumus, kas paredz citādi kā šie Lietošanas noteikumi, mēs (Wikimedia Foundation) un jūs piekrītat nemainīt piemērojamos noteikumus un prasības jebkurai bezmaksas licencei, kas tiek izmantota Projektos vai Projektu izdevumos, ja šāda bezmaksas licence ir atļauta ar šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem.

Šie Lietošanas noteikumi ir rakstīti angļu valodā (ASV).Lai gan mēs ceram, ka šo Lietošanas noteikumu tulkojumi ir precīzi, gadījumā, ja ir jebkādas atšķirības nozīmē starp oriģinālo angļu valodas versiju un tulkojumu, priekšroka ir oriģinālajai angļu valodas versijai.

Ja kāds no šo Lietošanas noteikumu nosacījumiem vai daļa tiek atzīta par nelikumīgu, spēkā neesošu vai neizpildāmu, šis nosacījums vai daļa no šī noteikuma tiek uzskatīta par atdalāmu no šiem Lietošanas noteikumiem un tiek īstenota maksimāli pieļaujamā apmērā, un visi pārējie šo Lietošanas noteikumu nosacījumi paliek pilnā spēkā.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Paldies! ==

Mēs augstu vērtējam to, ka veltāt laiku, lai izlasītu šos Lietošanas noteikumus, un esam ļoti priecīgi, ka jūs sniedzat savu ieguldījumu Projektos un izmantojat mūsu pakalpojumus. Sniedzot savu ieguldījumu, jūs palīdzat veidot kaut ko patiešām lielu – ne tikai svarīgu kopīgi rediģētu uzziņu Projektu kopumu, kas nodrošina izglītību un informāciju miljoniem cilvēku, kuriem citādi varētu nebūt piekļuves tai, bet arī dinamisku līdzīgi domājošo un aktīvi iesaistīto cilvēku kopienu, kas vērsta uz ļoti cēlu mērķi.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

अधिक स्पष्टतेसाठी, जसे की [[wmf:Chapters/en|स्थानिक विकिमिडीया चाप्टर्स]] आणि इतर संघटना, जरी त्यांचा आणि विकिमिडीया प्रतिष्ठानचे उद्देश समानच असले तरीही त्या सर्व संघटना कायद्याच्या व्याख्येत प्रतिष्ठानपेक्षा वेगळ्या आहेता आणि त्यांच्यावर विकिमिडीया प्रतिष्ठानचे ना त्यांच्या संकेतस्थळांवर वा त्यांच्या प्रकल्पांवर कसलेही नियंत्रण नाही.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

==१०. संकेतस्थळांचे संयोजन==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.

We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Guán-ê ho̍k-bū==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Tuì ti̍k-tīng hîng-uî ê hān-tsè==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

==7. Lāi-iông ê Hia̍p-gī==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

==10. Bāng-tsām ê Kuán-lí==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.

Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part.

For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Våre bruksvilkår&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Forestill deg en verden hvor hvert eneste menneske får fri tilgang til all samlet menneskelig kunnskap. Dette kjennetegner vårt engasjement.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Vår visjon]]

Velkommen til Wikimedia! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. («vi» eller «oss») er en ideell organisasjon. Vårt [[:wmf:Mission statement|oppdrag]] er å styrke og engasjere mennesker rundt om i verden for å samle og utvikle informasjon, og gjøre den tilgjengelig for allmenheten under en [[w:en:Free content|fri lisens]] eller som kunnskapsmessig allemanseie, samt å gjøre slik kunnskap tilgjengelig for hele verden, gratis og effektivt. Vår organisasjon har hovedkontor i San Francisco i California i USA.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
For å støtte vårt levende fellesskap, stiller vi den grunnleggende infrastrukturen og det organisatoriske rammeverket til disposisjon, for utvikling av flerspråklige Wiki-prosjekter (som forklart [[wmf: Våre prosjekter | her]]) og andre prosjekter som tjener dette formålet. Vi streber etter å lage og oppbevare pedagogisk og informativt prosjekt-materiale, som skal være gratis tilgjengelig på internett, for alltid.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vi ønsker deg («du» eller «brukeren») som leser, redigerer, skribent eller bidragsyter på annen måte, velkommen til Wikimedia-prosjektene, og vi vil oppfordre deg til å bli med i Wikimedia-samfunnet. Før du begynner å bidra, ber vi deg om å lese og akseptere de etterfølgende bruksbetingelsene («Vilkår for bruk»).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Disse bruksbetingelsene forteller deg om Wikimedia Foundations tjenester mot offentligheten, vårt forhold til deg som bruker, og de rettigheter og plikter, som gjelder for begge parter. Vi vil at du skal vite at vi har en utrolig mengde undervisnings- og informasjonsinnhold, som brukere som deg selv har bidratt med og gjort mulig. Generelt verken bidrar, overvåker eller sletter vi innhold (med noen få unntak for retningslinjer slik som disse bruksbetingelsene eller overholdelse av juridiske [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]]-krav). Det betyr at redigeringsoppgaven er i hendene på deg og dine medskribenter, som skaper og forvalter innholdet. Vi lagrer kun innholdet.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Nettsamfunnet – nettverket av bidragsytere (brukere), som stadig bygger og bruker de ulike nettsider eller prosjekter – er de viktigste midler for å oppnå våre formål. Fellesskapet bidrar til og hjelper med styringen av våre nettsteder. Fellesskapet påtar seg å løse den avgjørende oppgave med å lage og håndheve reglene som gjelder for de enkelte prosjekter (så som de ulike sprokutgaver av Wikipedia-prosjektet eller Wikimedia Commons' flerspråklige utgave).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Du er velkommen som bidragsyter, redigerer eller skribent, men du må følge de reglene som gjelder for hvert enkelt prosjekt. Vårt største prosjekt er Wikipedia, men vi har også andre prosjekter som har særskilte formål og arbeidsmetoder. Hvert prosjekt har sin gruppe av bidragsytere, som samarbeider om å skape og forvalte det aktuelle innholdet av prosjektet. Du er velkommen til å delta i denne gruppen og samarbeide med de øvrige om å forbedre prosjektene. Da vi ønsker å gjøre innholdet fritt tilgjengelig for allmennheten, har vi det alminnelige krav at alt det du bidrar med er tilgjengelig under en fri lisens, eller ikke er underlagt opphavsrett i det hele tatt (allment tilgjengelig).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vær oppmerksom på at du er juridisk ansvarlig for alle dine bidrag, redigeringer og gjenbruk av innhold fra Wikimedia i henhold til lovgivningen i USA samt anden relevant lovgivning (det kan omfatte lovgivningen hvor du bor, eller hvor du leser og redigerer innhold). Det betyr at det er viktig at du utviser forsiktighet, når du bidrar til innholdet. På bakgrunn av dette ansvaret, har vi noen regler for, hva du ikke må bidra med, hvor det meste enten er for å beskytte deg eller for å beskytte andre brukere som deg. Vær oppmerksom på at det innholdet vi lagrer, kun er beregnet til generell orientering, så hvis du har bruk for ekspertrådgivning vedrørende et bestemt emne (som for eksempel medisinske, juridiske eller økonomiske spørsmål), bør du søke hjelp fra autoriserte eller utdannede rådgivere. Vi har også tatt med andre viktige opplysninger og ansvarsfraskrivelser, så les igjennom disse bruksbetingelsene i sin helhet.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
For å gjøre det helt klart, er andre organisasjoner, slik som [[wmf:Chapters|lokale Wikimedia-avdelinger]] og foreninger som har det samme formålet, men som er juridisk uavhengig og adskilt fra Wikimedia Foundation, uten ansvar for driften av nettstedet eller nettstedets innhold.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Våre tjenester ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Wikimedia Foundations målsetting er å fremme vekst, utvikling og utbredelse av fritt flersproglig innhold, og gjøre innholdet fra disse wiki-prosjektene fritt tilgjengelig og gratis for offentligheden. Vår rolle er å være vertskap for noen av verdenens største dugnadskapte oppslagsverk, som kan finnes [http://www.wikimedia.org her]. Merk at vi utelukkende fungerer som en webhostingtjenste, som vedlikeholder infrastruktur og den organisatoriske ramme som gjør det mulig for våre brukere å lage Wikimedia-prosjektene, ved at de selv bidrar til og redigerer innholdet. På grunn av vår unike rolle, er det par ting du må være oppmerksom på i forbindelse med vårt forhold til deg, prosjektene og de øvrige brukerne.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Vi påtar oss ikke rollen som redaksjon:''' Da Wikimedia-prosjektene redigeres i samarbeid, leveres alt innholdet som vi lagrer, av brukerne selv, og vi påtar oss ikke noen redaksjonell rolle. Det betyr at vi generelt ikke overvåker eller redigerer innholdet av prosjektenes nettsteder, og vi påtar oss intet ansvar for innholdet. På tilsvarende måte støtter vi ingen oppfatning som kommer til uttrykk gjennom våre kanaler, og vi verken representerer eller garanterer sannhetsinnholdet, nøyaktigheten eller påliteligheten av noe innhold levert av fellesskapet. Vi gir bare adgang til det innholdet som du og de øvrige brukerne har bidratt med og redigert.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Du er ansvarlig for dine egne handlinger:''' Du er juridisk ansvarlig for dine redigeringer og bidrag på Wikimedia-prosjektene, så for din egen del bør du vise forsiktighet og unngå å bidra med innhold som kan føre til strafferettslig eller sivilrettslig ansvar etter relevant lovgivning. For å være tydelig, så omfatter relevant lovgivning minimum lovene i USA. Selv om vi kanskje ikke er enige i slike handlinger, advarer vi bidragsytere mot at myndighetene kan tenkes å anvende andre lands lovgivning mot deg, herunder lovgivning i det landet du leser eller redigerer innhold. WMF kan ikke tilby noen form for beskyttelse, garanti, immunitet eller skadesløsholdelse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Personvern==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vi ber deg gjennomlese betingelsene i vår [[:wmf:Privacy Policy|personvernerklæring]], slik at du vet hvordan vi samler inn og bruker dine opplysninger. Da våre tjenester anvendes av mennesker i hele verden, kan de personlige opplysningene vi samler inn, bli lagret og behandlet i USA eller ethvert annet land, hvor vi eller våre representanter er etablert. Ved å bruke våre tjenester, gir du ditt samtykke til enhver overførsel av slike opplysninger utenfor ditt land.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==3. Innhold vi tilbyr==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Kanskje synes du at noe materiale er anstøtelig eller mangelfullt:''' Da vi har et bredt spekter av innhold, som er produsert eller samlet inn av brukere som deg, kan du støte på materiale, som du synes er frastøtende, mangelfullt, villedende, på feil sted eller på annen måte anstøtelig. Vi ber derfor om at du bruker sunn fornuft og god dømmekraft, når du benytter våre tjenester.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Vårt innhold er kun for generelle informasjonsformål:''' Selv om vi har en stor mengde opplysninger, som handler om profesjonelle emner, herunder medisinske, juridiske eller økonomiske problemstillinger, så presenteres det kun for generell opplysning. Det skal ikke forstås som profesjonell rådgivning. Søk uavhengig profesjonell rådgivning, fra noen som er autorisert eller er kvalifisert innenfor det aktuelle område, istedenfor å handle på grunnlag av opplysninger, meninger eller råd, som finnes på nettsiden til et av våre prosjekter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Avstå fra visse aktiviteter==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Prosjektene, som Wikimedia Foundation tjener, finnes kun på grunn av det aktive fellesskapet av brukere som deg, som skriver i samarbeide, redigerer og organiserer innholdet. Vi er glade for å ønske din deltagelse velkommen i fellesskapet. Vi oppfordrer deg til å være vennlig og høflig i samspill med andre i fellesskapet, å være i god tro og foreta redigeringer og bidrag med det formål å fremme det felles prosjekts målsetting.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Noen aktiviteter, lovlige eller ikke lovlige, kan være skadelige for andre brukere og bryte med våre regler, og enkelt aktiviteter kan også medføre ansvar for deg. Derfor er det for din egen beskyttelse og for å beskytte andre at du ikke må delta i slike aktiviteter på våre nettsteder. Disse aktivitetene er blant annet:
&lt;/div&gt;

:'''Sjikane og misbruk av andre'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Deltakelse i sjikane, trusler, forfølgelse, spam eller vandalisme; og

&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Gi falske påstander, utgi seg for å være andre, og svindel'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::*Bevisst eller forsettlig offentliggjøring av innhold som er injurierende eller ærekrenkende

::*Medvirkning til svindel.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
:'''Begå rettighetsbrudd'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Delta i forstyrrende og ulovlig misbruk av våre tjenester'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Offentliggjørelse eller distribuering av innhold, som inneholder virus, skadelig mykvare, ormer, trojanske hester, skadelig kode eller annet utstyr, der kan skade vår tekniske infrastruktur eller system eller våre brukeres system;
::* Deltagelse i automatisert anvendelse av nettstedet, som misbruker eller forstyrrer våre tjenester og som ikke er godkjent av Wikimedias fellesskap;
::* Forstyrrelse av tjenestene ved urimelig å belaste prosjektets nettsted eller det nettverk og de servere, som er forbundet med et prosjekts nettsted;

:'''Betalte bidrag uten redegjørelse'''

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Disse bruksbetingelsene forbyr deltakelse i villedende virksomhet, herunder uriktig fremstilling av tilknytning, utgivelse av å være en annen person og svindel. Som en del av kravene skal du redegjøre for hvem som er din arbeidsgiver, din klient og tilknytning, med hensyn til alt vederlag du mottar. Du skal redegjøre for det på minst en av følgende måter:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::en erklæring på din brukerside,
::en erklæring på diskusjonssiden for alle betalte bidrag, eller
::en erklæring i redigeringssammendraget for alle betalte bidrag.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::Gjeldende lovgivning, eller regler og retningslinjer fra fellesskapet eller Foundation, som for eksempel de som omhandler interessekonflikter, kan ytterligere begrense muligheten for å foreta betalte redigeringer eller kreve en mer detaljert redegjørelse.
::Et av Wikimedias prosjekter kan innføre alternative regler for redegjørelse for betalte bidrag. Hvis et prosjekt innfører alternative regler for redegjørelse, kan du overholde disse regler istedenfor det som følger av dette avsnittet, når du bidrar til det aktuelle prosjektet. Alternative regler for betalte bidrag erstatter kun nærværende krav, hvis de er vedtatt av det aktuelle prosjektfellesskapet og anført på [[:m:Alternative_paid_contribution_disclosur_policies|listen over alternative regler for redegjørelse]].
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::For mer informasjon kan du lese vår [[:m:Terms_of_use/FAQ_on_paid_contributions_without_disclosur|OSS om deklarasjon av betalte bidrag]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vi forbeholder oss retten til å håndheve ovennevnte betingelser etter eget skjønn.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|5}}

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==5. Passordsikkerhet==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Du er ansvarlig for å beskytte ditt passord, og du skal aldri gi det til noen tredjepart.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==6. Varemerker==

Selv om du har betydelig frihet til gjenbruke innholdet fra prosjektenes nettsteder, er det viktig for Wikimedia Foundation at vi beskytter våre varemerkerettigheter, slik at vi kan beskytte våre brukere mot svindlere. Derfor ber vi deg om å respektere våre varemerker. Alle Wikimedia Foundations varemerker tilhører Wikimedia Foundation, og enhver anvendelse av våre uregistrerte varemerker, varemerker, servicemerker, logoer/bumerker eller domenenavn, skal overholde disse bruksbetingelsene samt overholde vår [[:wmf:Trademark Policy|varemerkeregler]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Lisensiering av innhold==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
For å få den felles fri viten og frie kultur til å øke, er alle brukere, som bidrar til prosjektene, forpliktet til å gi vidtrekkende tillatelser til den offentligheten med henblikk på fri videre distribuering og gjenbruk av brukernes bidrag, så lenge denne anvendelse er korrekt angitt med kilder og den samme frihet til å gjenbruke og videre distribuere gis til alle avledede verker. I samsvar med vårt mål om å levere frie tilgjengelige opplysninger til det bredest mulige publikum, krever vi at når det er nødvendig, skal alt bidratt innhold være lisensert, slik at det er fritt for gjenbruk for alle, som ønsker til det.
&lt;/div&gt;

Du aksepterer følgende lisenskrav:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
'''Tekst hvor du har kopiretten:''' Når du overfører tekst hvor du har kopiretten, så godtar du å lisensiere den med:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.no Creative Commons Navngivelse-DelPåSammeVilkår 3.0 Unported] (“CC BY-SA”), og
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU fri dokumentasjonslisens] (“GFDL”) (uversjonert, uten invariante seksjoner, forsidetekst eller baksidetekst).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Den eneste unntak er hvis prosjektutgaven eller funksjonaliteten krever en annen lisens. I så fall aksepterer du å lisensiere enhver tekst, som du bidrar med, under den særlige lisens. Eksempelvis krevde det engelskspråklige Wikinews ved utgivelsen av disse bruksbetingelsene at alt tekstinnhold er lisensert under Creative Commons Attribution #2.5 Generisk-lisensen (CC BY #2.5) uten å kreve en felles lisensering med GFDL.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Bemerk at disse lisensene tillater kommersiell gjenbruk av dine bidrag, så lenge anvendelsene er i samsvar med betingelsene.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Navngivelse:''' Kreditering er en viktig del av lisensene. Vi anser det viktig å gi kreditering der kreditering er berettiget – til forfattere som deg selv. Når du bidrar med tekst, aksepterer du at bli navngitt på en hvilken som helst av følgende måter:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Gjennom hyperlenke (der det er mulig) eller URL til artikkelen hvor du har bidratt (da hver artikkel har en historikk som lister alle forfattere og redaktører);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Gjennom hyperlenke (der det er mulig) eller URL til en alternativ, stabil kopi som er online, som er i samsvar med lisensen, og som krediterer forfatterne på en måte som er lik med krediteringen som brukes på prosjektets netstet; eller&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ved hjelp av en liste over alle forfattere (men bmerk at listen kan filtreres for å utelukke veldig små eller ubetydelige bidrag).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Import av tekst:''' Du kan importere tekst som du har funnet et annet sted, eller som du har skrevet i fellesskap med en annen, men i slike tilfeller må du garantere at teksten er tilgjengelig under betingelser som er kompatible med CC BY-SA 3.0-lisensen (eller, som forklart ovenfor, en annen lisens når det unntagsvis er nødvendig i en prosjektutgave eller funksjonalitet)(&quot;CC BY-SA&quot;). Innhold kun tilgjengelig under GFDL er ikke tillatt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Du godtar at om du importerer tekst under en CC BY-SA-lisens som krever navngivelse, så skal du navngi forfatteren(e) på en rimelig måte. Hvor slik kreditering er valig ved hjelp av sidehistorikker (slik som intern kopiering mellom Wikimedias prosjekt), er det tilstrekkelig å oppgi dette i sammendraget som lagres i historikken, når tekst blir importert tekst. Kravet til navngivelse kan være for forstyrrende i vise situasjoner (uansett lisens), og det kan være situasjoner hvor Wikimedias nettsamfunn bestemmer at importert tekst av den grunnen ikke kan anvendes.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Når du gjenbruker eller videredistribuerer en tekstside forfattet av Wikimedias nettsamfunn, aksepterer du å navngi forfatterne på en av følgende måter:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Ved hjelp av hyperlink (hvis mulig) eller URL til den eller de sider, du gjenbruker (da hver side har en historikk som viser en liste over alle forfattere og skribenter);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gjennom hyperlenke (der det er mulig) eller URL til en alternativ, stabil kopi som er fritt tilgjengelig, som er i samsvar med lisensen, og som krediterer forfatterne på en måte som er lik med krediteringen som brukes på prosjektets netsted; eller&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ved hjelp av en liste over alle forfattere (men bemerk at listen kan filtreres for å utelukke veldig små eller ubetydelige bidrag).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Når du endrer eller gjør tilføyelser til alle former for ikke-tekstlig media som du har fått fra et prosjekts nettsted, så samtykker du til å lisensiere det du har endret eller lagt til av innhold i samsvar med lisensen som er brukt når verket ble gjort tilgjengelig.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Forvaltning av nettsteder==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Blokkering av en konto eller adgang eller bannlysning av en bruker under dette vilkåret, skal overholde avsnitt 12 i disse bruksbetingelsene.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

'''''एक यस्तो संसारको कल्पना गर्नुहोस् जहाँ प्रत्येक मानवले सबै ज्ञानको योगमा स्वतन्त्र रूपमा साझेदारी गर्न सक्दछ। यो हाम्रो प्रतिबद्धता हो ''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|हाम्रो दर्शन कथन]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==१. हाम्रा सेवाहरू ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''हामी सम्पादकीय भूमिका लिँदैनौँ:''' किनभने परियोजनाहरू सहयोगी रूपमा सम्पादन गरिन्छ, हामीले आयोजना गर्ने सामग्रीको विशाल बहुमत प्रयोगकर्ताहरूद्वारा प्रदान गरिएको छ, त्यसैले हामी सम्पादकीय भूमिका लिन सक्दैनौँ। यसको अर्थ हामी सामान्यतया परियोजना वेबसाइटहरूको सामग्री निगरानी वा सम्पादन गर्दैनौँ, र हामी यस सामग्रीको लागि कुनै जिम्मेवारी लिन्नौँ। त्यस्तै गरी, जबसम्म हामीले स्पष्ट रूपमा अन्यथा उल्लेख गरेका छैनौँ, हामी हाम्रो सेवाहरू मार्फत व्यक्त कुनै पनि रायलाई समर्थन गर्दैनौँ, र हामी परियोजनाहरूमा कुनै पनि प्रस्तुत सामुदायिक सामग्रीको सत्यता, सटीकता वा विश्वसनीयताको प्रतिनिधित्व वा ग्यारेन्टी गर्दैनौँ।&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ४. केही क्रियाकलापहरूबाट टाढै रहनुहोस् ==

विकिमिडिया फाउन्डेसनद्वारा सञ्चालित परियोजनाहरू तपाई जस्ता प्रयोगकर्ताहरूको जीवन्त समुदायको कारण मात्र अस्तित्वमा छन् जसले सामग्री लेख्न, सम्पादन गर्न र परिक्षण गर्न सहयोग गर्दछन्। हामी यस समुदायमा तपाईको सहभागितालाई खुशीसाथ स्वागत गर्दछौँ। हामी तपाईलाई समुदायमा अरूसँग तपाईको अन्तरक्रियामा सभ्य र विनम्र हुन, राम्रो विश्वासमा कार्य गर्न, र साझा परियोजनाको उद्देश्यलाई अगाडि बढाउने ध्यले सम्पादन र योगदान गर्न प्रोत्साहित गर्दछौँ। हामी सबै प्रयोगकर्ताहरूलाई  [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|विश्वव्यापी आचार संहिता]] समीक्षा गर्न सल्लाह दिन्छौँ, जसले हामीले आयोजना गर्ने सबै परियोजनाहरूमा आपसी नागरिक सहयोगको लागि आवश्यकताहरू प्रदान गर्दछ।

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability.

::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.

The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.

We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures.

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== १८. अन्य सर्तहरू ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Nòstra vision.]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Nòstres servicis ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Politica de confidencialitat ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Restriccions de certanas activitats ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licéncias aplicablas al contengut ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Gestion dels sites Internet ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

ਇੱਕ ਅਜਿਹੀ ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਕਲਪਨਾ ਕਰੋ ਜਿਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਰ ਇੱਕ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਸਮੁੱਚੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਤੱਕ ਮੁਫ਼ਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ। ਇਹ ਸਾਡੀ ਵਚਨਬੱਧਤਾ ਹੈ। – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|ਸਾਡਾ ਉਦੇਸ਼ ਵਾਕ]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ੧.  ਸਾਡੀਆਂ ਸੇਵਾਵਾਂ ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

== ੪. ਕੁਝ ਕਾਰਵਾਈਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਪਰਹੇਜ਼ ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

==1.  زموږ چوپړونه==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:

This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability.

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

==7. د مېنځپانگې منښتليک==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. د وېبپاڼو سمبالښت==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

'''''Imagine um mundo em que todos os seres humanos possam partilhar livremente a soma de todo o conhecimento. É esse o nosso compromisso.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|A nossa Declaração de Visão]]

Bem-vindo(a) à Wikimedia! A Fundação Wikimedia (&quot;nós&quot; ou &quot;nos/conosco&quot;, “nosso(a)(s)” ou “Fundação”) é uma organização filantrópica sem fins lucrativos, com sede em São Francisco, Califórnia, Estados Unidos, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|cuja missão]] é capacitar e engajar pessoas de todo o mundo para coletar e desenvolver conteúdo [[{{lwp|Free content}}|sob uma licença livre]] ou no domínio público e disseminá-lo de maneira eficiente e global, e sem custos.

Para apoiar a nossa vibrante comunidade, proporcionamos a infraestrutura e estrutura organizacional básicas para o desenvolvimento de projetos wiki multilíngues e suas edições (conforme explicado na nossa [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|página de Projetos Wikimedia]]) (doravante referido como “Projetos”) e outros empreendimentos que atendem a essa missão. Nós nos esforçamos para disponibilizar e manter conteúdos educacionais e informativos dos projetos na internet sem custos, em caráter perpétuo.

Nós lhe damos boas-vindas (a &quot;você&quot; ou &quot;usuário(a)&quot;) como leitor(a) ou contribuidor(a) dos Projetos, e encorajamos você a fazer parte da comunidade Wikimedia. Contudo, antes de participar, solicitamos que você leia e concorde com os Termos de Uso (&quot;Termos de Uso&quot;) a seguir.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Estes Termos de Uso informam sobre nossos serviços públicos na Fundação Wikimedia, nosso relacionamento com você como usuário(a) e os direitos e responsabilidades que nos guiam. Hospedamos uma quantidade incrível de conteúdo educacional e informativo, todo ele contribuído e viabilizado por pessoas como você. Em geral, não contribuímos, monitoramos ou excluímos conteúdo (com raras exceções, como em políticas como estes Termos de Uso, para conformidade legal ou quando confrontados com ameaças urgentes de danos graves). Isso significa que o controle editorial está nas suas mãos e nas mãos de outras pessoas que criam e gerenciam o conteúdo.

A comunidade - a rede de usuário(a)s que constantemente criam e usam os Projetos e/ou seus sites (aqui denominados “Sites dos Projetos”) - é o principal meio pelo qual os objetivos da missão são alcançados. A comunidade contribui e ajuda a administrar nossos Projetos e Sites dos Projetos. A comunidade também assume a função fundamental de criar e aplicar políticas para as edições de Projetos específicas (como as edições em diferentes idiomas do Projeto Wikipédia ou a edição multilíngue do Wikimedia Commons).

Você, usuário(a), pode participar como colaborador(a), editor(a) ou autor(a), mas deve seguir as políticas que regem cada uma das edições independentes do projeto, incluindo o [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), que se aplica a todas as edições do projeto. Nosso maior projeto é a Wikipédia, mas também hospedamos outros projetos, cada um com objetivos e métodos de trabalho diferentes. Cada edição de projeto tem uma equipe de colaboradores, editores ou autores que trabalham juntos para criar e gerenciar o conteúdo dessa edição de projeto. Você pode participar dessas equipes e trabalhar com elas para aprimorar esses projetos. Como nos dedicamos a tornar o conteúdo livremente acessível ao público, o conteúdo com o qual você contribui é disponibilizado sob uma licença gratuita ou liberado em domínio público.

Saiba que você é legalmente responsável por todas as suas contribuições, edições e reutilização do conteúdo da Wikimedia de acordo com as leis dos Estados Unidos da América e outras leis aplicáveis ( incluindo as leis do local onde você ou o tema de suas contribuições estão localizados). Isso significa que é importante que você tenha cuidado ao postar, modificar ou reutilizar conteúdo. Tendo em vista essa responsabilidade, temos algumas regras a respeito do que você não pode fazer, a maioria delas para sua própria proteção ou para a proteção de outros usuários como você. Lembre-se de que o conteúdo que hospedamos é apenas para fins informativos gerais, portanto, se precisar de orientação especializada para uma questão específica (como questões médicas, jurídicas ou financeiras), procure a ajuda de um profissional adequado. Também incluímos outros avisos e isenções de responsabilidade importantes, portanto, leia estes Termos de Uso em sua totalidade.

Para que fique claro, outras organizações, como [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|capitulos da Wikimedia]] e associações locais, que podem compartilhar a mesma missão, são, ainda assim, legalmente independentes e separadas da Fundação Wikimedia. Salvo disposição em contrário pela Fundação como uma parte autorizada em um Site do Projeto, essas outras organizações não têm responsabilidade pelas operações do Site do Projeto ou por seu conteúdo.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  Nossos serviços==

A Fundação Wikimedia se dedica a encorajar o crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a distribuição de conteúdo multilíngue livre e a hospedar o conteúdo completo desses Projetos baseados em wikis sem custos para o público. Nosso papel é hospedar alguns dos maiores projetos de referência editados de maneira colaborativa do mundo, [//www.wikimedia.org que podem ser encontrados aqui]. No entanto, atuamos apenas como provedor de serviços de hospedagem, mantendo a infraestrutura e a estrutura organizacional. Essa infraestrutura e estrutura permitem que nossos usuários construam os Projetos editando e contribuindo com conteúdo por conta própria. Também permitem que nossos usuários reutilizem esse conteúdo. A infraestrutura que mantemos inclui infraestrutura tecnológica especializada, que permite a usuários interagirem programaticamente e reutilizarem conteúdo em Projetos [denominados “Interface de Programação de Aplicativos” ou “APIs” (Application Programming Interface)] e aplicativos móveis.

Conforme utilizado nas demais cláusulas dos Termos de Uso, nossos serviços consistem em: [//www.wikimedia.org Os sites de projetos que hospedamos], a infraestrutura tecnológica que mantemos e quaisquer espaços técnicos que hospedamos para a manutenção e o aprimoramento de nossos projetos.

Devido ao nosso papel único, há algumas coisas das quais você deve estar ciente ao considerar a nossa relação com você, com os Projetos e outros usuários:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Não assumimos o papel editorial:''' uma vez que os Projetos são editados colaborativamente, a grande maioria do conteúdo que hospedamos provêm de usuário(a)s como você, e nós não assumimos o papel editorial. Isso significa que geralmente não monitoramos nem editamos o conteúdo dos sites dos projetos e não assumimos nenhuma responsabilidade por esse conteúdo. De maneira similar, salvo se tivermos declarado expressamente o contrário, não endossamos nenhuma opinião expressada através dos nossos serviços e não oferecemos representação ou garantias quanto à veracidade, precisão ou confiabilidade de qualquer conteúdo enviado pela comunidade nos Projetos.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Você é responsável pelas suas próprias ações:''' Você é legalmente responsável por suas edições e contribuições nos Projetos, sua reutilização de conteúdo nos Projetos, seu uso das APIs e seu uso de nossos serviços de modo geral. Para sua própria proteção, você deve ter cuidado e evitar tomar quaisquer ações que possam resultar em responsabilidade civil ou criminal de acordo com as leis aplicáveis. Para fins de clareza, a legislação aplicável inclui, no mínimo, as leis dos Estados Unidos da América e do Estado da Califórnia. Para outros países, isso é determinado caso a caso. Embora possamos não concordar com tais ações, alertamos os usuário(a)s - especialmente editores, contribuidores e autores - que autoridades não americanas podem tentar aplicar as leis de outros países a você, incluindo as leis municipais de onde você mora ou visualiza ou edita conteúdo. Em geral, não podemos oferecer nenhuma proteção, garantia, imunidade ou indenização contra a aplicação de tais leis.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Política de privacidade==

Pedimos que você examine os [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|termos da nossa Política de Privacidade]], para que esteja ciente de como coletamos e usamos suas informações.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. O conteúdo que hospedamos ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Você pode encontrar alguns materiais questionáveis ou errôneos:''' Como hospedamos uma grande variedade de conteúdo produzido ou coletado por outro(a)s usuário(a)s, você pode encontrar materiais que considere ofensivos, errôneos, enganosos, incorretamente rotulados ou de outra forma questionáveis. Portanto, pedimos que você use o bom senso e o julgamento adequado ao usar nossos serviços.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''O conteúdo dos Projetos é apenas para fins informativos gerais:''' Embora nossos Projetos hospedem uma grande quantidade de informações relacionadas a temas profissionais, inclusive questões médicas, jurídicas ou financeiras, esse conteúdo é apresentado apenas para fins informativos gerais. Ele não deve ser considerado como aconselhamento profissional. Procure aconselhamento profissional independente de alguém que seja licenciado ou qualificado na área aplicável em vez de agir com base em qualquer informação, opinião ou conselho contido em um dos Sites dos Projetos.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Atividades a serem evitadas==

Os projetos hospedados pela Fundação Wikimedia só existem graças à vibrante comunidade de usuário(a)s, como você, que colaboram para escrever, editar e fazer a curadoria do conteúdo. Sua participação nessa comunidade é muito bem-vinda. Incentivamos você a ser cordial e polido(a) em suas interações com outras pessoas na comunidade, a agir de boa-fé e a fazer edições e contribuições destinadas a promover a missão do projeto compartilhado. Pedimos que todos os usuários revisem e sigam o [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Código Universal de Conduta]] (“UCoC”), que estabelece requisitos para a colaboração civil e colegial em todos os projetos que hospedamos.

Certas atividades, sejam elas legais ou ilegais de acordo com a legislação aplicável, podem ser prejudiciais a outro(a)s usuário(a)s e violar nossas regras, e algumas atividades também podem sujeitá-lo(a) a responsabilização civil. Portanto, para sua própria proteção e para a proteção de outro(a)s usuário(a)s, você não poderá participar de tais atividades em nossos Projetos ou usá-los de outra forma. Essas atividades incluem:

:'''Assediar terceiros e tratá-los de maneira abusiva'''
::* participar de ameaças, perseguição, spam, vandalismo ou assédio, conforme descrito no UCoC;
::* transmitir e-mails com correntes, publicidade ou spam para outro(a)s usuário(a)s;
::* publicar ou modificar conteúdo com a intenção de prejudicar gravemente outras pessoas, como incentivos deliberados a automutilação ou desencadeamento deliberado de epilepsia;
:'''Violar a privacidade de terceiros'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* infringir os direitos de privacidade de terceiros segundo as leis dos Estados Unidos da América ou outras leis aplicáveis (inclusive as leis municipais de onde você vive ou visualiza ou edita conteúdo);
::* solicitar informações pessoalmente identificáveis com o fim de assédio, exploração, violação da privacidade ou qualquer fim promocional ou comercial não explicitamente aprovado pela Fundação Wikimedia; e
::* solicitar informações pessoalmente identificáveis de qualquer pessoa com menos de 18 anos de idade, ou menor de idade na sua jurisdição se a maioridade for superior a 18 anos, para fins ilegais ou violação de lei aplicável referente à saúde ou ao bem-estar de menores.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Realizar afirmações falsas, se fazer passar por terceiros ou realizar fraude'''
::* publicar conteúdo, de forma intencional ou voluntária, que configure difamação por meio oral ou escrito segundo as leis dos Estados Unidos da América;
::* publicar ou modificar conteúdo com a intenção de enganar ou induzir a erro outras pessoas;
::* tentar se passar por outro(a) usuário(a) ou pessoa, indicar, de maneira enganosa, sua afiliação com qualquer pessoa física ou jurídica, ocultar sua afiliação com qualquer pessoa física ou jurídica quando a divulgação for exigida por estes termos ou pela política local do Projeto, ou usar o nome ou nome de usuário(a) de outra pessoa com a intenção de enganar; e
::* participar de fraudes.
: '''Cometer violação de direitos de propriedade intelectual'''
::* infringir direitos autorais, marcas registradas, patentes ou outros direitos de propriedade de acordo com a legislação aplicável.
:'''Fazer mau uso dos nossos serviços para outros fins ilegais'''
::* publicar pornografia infantil ou qualquer outro conteúdo que viole as leis sobre pornografia infantil ou material de abuso sexual infantil, ou incentivar, aliciar ou defender a criação ou a divulgação por outras pessoas desse tipo de material;
::* postar ou transmitir materiais obscenos que sejam ilegais segundo as leis aplicáveis; e
::* usar os serviços de maneira que seja inconsistente com a lei aplicável.
:'''Realizar uso disruptivo ou mau uso ilegal de instalações'''

::* interromper os serviços colocando uma carga indevida em uma API, no Site de um Projeto ou nas redes ou servidores conectados ao Site de um Projeto;
::* Interromper os serviços saturando qualquer dos sites do projecto com comunicações ou outro tráfico que não sugira uma intenção séria de utilizar o site do projeto para seu propósito declarado;
::* Aceder de forma consciente, manipular ou utilizar qualquer de nossas áreas não públicas de nossos sistemas informáticos sem autorização; e
::* Provar, analisar ou testar a vulnerabilidade de qualquer de nossos sistemas técnicos ou redes, a não ser que se cumpram todas as condições seguintes:
:::*tais ações não abusem de maneira indevida ou interrompam nossos sistemas técnicos ou redes;
:::*tais ações não visem o ganho pessoal (exceto para o crédito do seu trabalho);
:::*você relate as vulnerabilidades a desenvolvedores do MediaWiki (ou as corrija você mesmo); e
:::*você não realize tais ações com intenção maliciosa ou destrutiva.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Contribuições pagas sem divulgação'''

::* É obrigatório divulgar todo(a) empregador(a), cliente, beneficiário(a) pretendido(a) e afiliação com relação a qualquer contribuição pela qual você receba ou espere receber remuneração. Essa divulgação deve ser feita de pelo menos uma das seguintes maneiras:
:::* uma declaração na sua página de usuário(a),
:::* uma declaração na página de discussão que acompanhe contribuições pagas, ou
:::* uma declaração no resumo de edição que acompanhe contribuições pagas.
::* Além disso, se você fizer uma publicação pública fora dos Projetos anunciando serviços de edição na Wikipédia em troca de compensação de qualquer tipo, você deve divulgar todas as contas da Wikipédia que você usou ou usará para este serviço na publicação pública no serviço de terceiros.
::* A lei aplicável ou as políticas específicas do Projeto, bem como as políticas e diretrizes da Fundação, como as que tratam de conflitos de interesse, podem limitar ainda mais as contribuições pagas ou exigir uma divulgação mais detalhada. Por exemplo, infringir as marcas registradas Wikimedia (definidas a seguir na Seção 6) para anunciar serviços de edição pagos, remover divulgações em edições pagas anteriormente divulgadas de forma adequada, ou edição paga desconectada de uma maneira que torne a divulgação adequada uma impossibilidade prática violam esta seção.
::* A comunidade de um Projeto Wikimedia pode adotar uma política alternativa de divulgação de contribuições pagas que pode complementar ou substituir esta seção. Se um Projeto adotar uma política de divulgação alternativa, você poderá cumprir com essa política em vez dos requisitos desta seção (intitulada “Contribuições pagas sem divulgação”) ao contribuir para esse Projeto específico.

:: Para obter mais informações, leia as nossas [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|perguntas frequentes sobre a divulgação de contribuições pagas]].


A edição não divulgada por usuário(a)s que recebem remuneração cria uma carga excessiva sobre o(a)s editor(a)es voluntário(a)s [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|que investigam e aplicam as políticas da comunidade]]. Portanto, para violações desta seção relacionadas à edição paga não divulgada, o(a) usuário(a) concorda em submeter-se à “Med-Arb” vinculativa (uma “Mediação da empresa de marketing&quot;), conforme descrito na seção 14 destes Termos de Uso.

Reservamos o direito de exercer nosso critério de aplicação com relação às disposições da seção 4 destes Termos de Uso. Quando necessário, a aplicação destes termos pode incluir ações não enumeradas na [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Política de Office Action]] da Fundação Wikimedia. Se a aplicação for necessária em novas circunstâncias, faremos um esforço dentro de no máximo um (1) ano para atualizar a Política de Office Action para catalogar o novo tipo de ação.

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==5. Segurança de senhas==

Você é responsável por proteger sua própria senha e outras credenciais de segurança, e nunca deve divulgá-las a terceiros.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==6. Marcas comerciais==

Ainda que você tenha liberdade considerável para reutilizar o conteúdo dos websites dos projetos, é importante que, na Wikimedia Foundation, protejamos nossos direitos de marcas comerciais de forma que possamos proteger nossos usuários de fraudadores. Por isso, solicitamos que você respeite nossas marcas comerciais. Todas as marcas comerciais da Wikimedia Foundation pertencem à Wikimedia Foundation e toda utilização dos nossos nomes comerciais, marcas comerciais, marcas de serviço, logotipos ou nomes de domínio deve ocorrer em conformidade com estes termos de uso e em conformidade com nossa [[:wmf:Trademark Policy|Política de marcas comerciais]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Licenciamento do conteúdo==

Para expandir os bens comuns do conhecimento e da cultura livres, todos os usuários que contribuem para os Projetos ou para os Sites de Projetos devem conceder amplas permissões ao público em geral para redistribuir e reutilizar suas contribuições livremente, desde que esse uso seja devidamente atribuído e que a mesma liberdade de reutilização e redistribuição seja concedida a quaisquer trabalhos derivados. Para manter nossa meta de fornecer informações gratuitas ao mais amplo público possível, exigimos que, quando necessário, todo o conteúdo enviado seja licenciado para que possa ser reutilizado livremente por qualquer pessoa que possa acessá-lo.

Você concorda com as seguintes exigências de licenciamento:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Textos sobre os quais você detém os direitos autorais:''' quando você envia um texto sobre o qual detém os direitos autorais, você concorda em licenciá-lo sob:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (“CC BY-SA 4.0”), e
* [//www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.pt-br.html Licença GNU de Documentação Livre] (“GFDL”) (não versionada, sem seções invariantes, sem textos de capa ou contra-capa).

Reusuário(a)s podem estar em conformidade com uma das licenças ou com ambas.&lt;br /&gt;
A única exceção é se a edição ou o recurso do Projeto exigir uma licença diferente. Nesse caso, você concorda em licenciar qualquer texto com o qual contribua de acordo com a licença específica determinada pela edição do Projeto ou pelo recurso.

Observe que essas licenças permitem o uso comercial de suas contribuições, desde que esse uso esteja em conformidade com os termos das respectivas licenças. Quando você possui os Direitos de Banco de Dados Sui Generis cobertos pela CC BY-SA 4.0, você renuncia a esses direitos. Por exemplo, isso significa que os fatos com os quais você contribui para os projetos podem ser reutilizados livremente sem atribuição.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Atribuição:''' a atribuição é uma parte importante dessas licenças. Consideramos isso dando crédito onde o crédito é devido – a autores como você. Quando você contribui com texto, concorda que o mesmo lhe seja atribuído de qualquer uma das seguintes maneiras:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Por meio de hiperlink (quando possível) ou URL para o artigo para o qual você contribuiu (já que cada artigo tem uma página de histórico que lista todos os contribuidores, autores e editores);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Por meio de hiperlink (quando possível) ou URL para uma cópia on-line alternativa e estável que seja de livre acesso, que esteja em conformidade com a licença relevante e que forneça crédito aos autores de maneira equivalente ao crédito dado no site do projeto; ou&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Por meio de uma lista de todos os autores (mas observe que qualquer lista de autores pode ser filtrada para excluir contribuições muito pequenas ou irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importação de texto:''' Você pode importar texto que tenha encontrado em outro lugar ou que tenha sido escrito em coautoria com outros, mas nesse caso, você declara e garante que o texto está disponível sob termos compatíveis com a CC BY-SA (ou, como explicado acima, outra licença quando excepcionalmente exigido pela edição ou recurso do projeto). Para obter uma lista de licenças compatíveis, consulte [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Você não deve importar conteúdo que esteja disponível somente sob a GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Você concorda que, se importar texto sob uma licença CC que exija atribuição, você deverá creditar o(s) autor(es) de maneira razoável. Nos casos em que esse crédito é normalmente dado por meio de históricos de páginas (como cópia interna da Wikimedia), será suficiente dar a atribuição no resumo da edição, que é registrado no histórico da página, ao importar o texto. Os requisitos de atribuição são, às vezes, muito intrusivos para circunstâncias específicas (independentemente da licença), e pode haver casos em que a comunidade Wikimedia decida que o texto importado não pode ser usado por esse motivo.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Mídia não textual:''' A mídia não textual nos Projetos está disponível sob uma variedade de licenças diferentes que apoiam o objetivo geral de permitir a reutilização e a redistribuição irrestritas. Ao contribuir com mídia não textual, você concorda em cumprir os requisitos de tais licenças, conforme descrito em nossa [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Política de Licenciamento]], e também em cumprir os requisitos da edição ou recurso específico do Projeto para o qual você está contribuindo. Consulte também a [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Política de Licenciamento da Wikimedia Commons]] para obter mais informações sobre como contribuir com mídia não textual para a Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Não revogação da licença:''' Exceto se for consistente com sua licença, você concorda que não revogará unilateralmente nem buscará invalidar qualquer licença que tenha concedido de acordo com estes Termos de Uso para conteúdo de texto ou mídia não textual contribuídos para os Projetos ou recursos, mesmo que você interrompa o uso de nossos serviços.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Conteúdo em domínio público:''' conteúdo em domínio público é bem-vindo! É importante, contudo, que você confirme o status de domínio público do conteúdo sob a lei dos Estados Unidos da América assim como sob as leis de quaisquer outros países, conforme exigido pela edição do projeto específico. Quando você contribuir com conteúdo que está em domínio público, garante que o material está realmente em domínio público e concorda em rotulá-lo de maneira apropriada.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Reutilização:''' A reutilização do conteúdo que hospedamos é bem-vinda, embora existam exceções para o conteúdo contribuído de acordo com o “uso justo” ou isenções semelhantes de acordo com a lei de direitos autorais aplicável. Qualquer reutilização deve estar em conformidade com a(s) licença(s) subjacente(s).&lt;br /&gt;

Quando você reutilizar ou redistribuir uma página de texto desenvolvida pela comunidade Wikimedia, você concorda fazer atribuição aos autores de qualquer uma das seguintes maneiras:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Por meio de hiperlink (quando possível) ou URL para a página ou páginas que você está reutilizando (já que cada página tem uma página de histórico que lista todos os colaboradores, autores e editores);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Por meio de hyperlink (quando possível) ou URL a uma cópia on-line estável e alternativa, que seja livremente acessível e esteja em conformidade com a licença, e que ofereça crédito aos autores de uma maneira equivalente ao crédito dado no website do projeto; ou&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Por meio de uma lista de todos os autores (mas observe que qualquer lista de autores pode ser filtrada para excluir contribuições muito pequenas ou irrelevantes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Caso o conteúdo tenha sido importado de outra fonte, é possível que ele tenha sido licenciado sob uma licença CC BY-SA compatível, mas não a GFDL (como descrito em &quot;importação de texto&quot;, acima). Nesse caso, você concorda em respeitar a licença CC BY-SA compatível e não tem a opção de relicenciá-lo sob a GFDL. Para determinar a licença aplicável ao conteúdo que você deseja reutilizar ou redistribuir, você deverá analisar o rodapé da página, o histórico da página e a página de discussão.

Além disso, esteja ciente de que textos originados de fontes externas e importados para um Projeto podem estar sob uma licença que inclui requisitos adicionais de atribuição. O(a)s usuário(a)s concordam em indicar claramente esses requisitos de atribuição adicionais. Dependendo do Projeto, esses requisitos podem aparecer, por exemplo, em um banner ou em outras anotações que indiquem que parte ou todo o conteúdo foi originalmente publicado em outro lugar. Quando houver tais anotações visíveis, o(a)s reusuário(a)s devem preservá-las.

Para qualquer mídia não textual, você concorda em cumprir a licença aplicável sob a qual o trabalho foi disponibilizado (que pode ser descoberta clicando no trabalho e observando a seção de licenciamento em sua página de descrição ou verificando uma página de origem aplicável para esse trabalho). Ao reutilizar qualquer conteúdo que hospedamos, o(a) usuário(a) concorda em cumprir os requisitos de atribuição relevantes, conforme pertinentes à licença ou às licenças subjacentes.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modificações ou adições a materiais que você reutiliza:''' ao modificar ou fazer adições a texto que você obteve de um website do projeto, você concorda em licenciar o conteúdo modificado ou adicionado sob uma licença CC BY-SA 3.0 ou posterior (ou, como explicado acima, outra licença, quando excepcionalmente exigido pela edição do projeto ou recurso específico).&lt;br /&gt;

Ao modificar ou fazer adições a qualquer mídia não textual que você tiver obtido de um website do projeto, você concorda em licenciar o conteúdo modificado ou adicionado de acordo com qualquer licença sob a qual a obra tiver sido disponibilizada.&lt;br /&gt;

Tanto no caso de conteúdo textual quanto no de qualquer outro tipo de mídia não textual, você concorda em indicar claramente que a obra original foi modificada. Caso você esteja reutilizando conteúdo de uma wiki, será suficiente indicar no histórico da página que você fez uma alteração no texto importado. Para cada cópia ou versão modificada que você distribuir, você concorda em incluir uma notificação de licença declarando sob qual licença o trabalho foi divulgado, junto com um hyperlink ou URL para o texto da licença ou uma cópia da própria licença.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

A Fundação Wikimedia quer garantir que o conteúdo que hospedamos possa ser reutilizado por outro(a)s usuário(a)s sem medo de responsabilização e que não esteja infringindo os direitos de propriedade de terceiros. Para sermos justos com nosso(a)s usuário(a)s, bem como com o(a)s demais criadore(a)s e detentore(a)s de direitos autorais, nossa política é responder a notificações de supostas infrações que estejam em conformidade com as formalidades da Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). De acordo com a DMCA, encerraremos, em circunstâncias apropriadas, usuário(a)s e titulares de contas de nosso sistema e rede que reincidam em infrações em nossos Projetos e serviços.

Entretanto, também reconhecemos que nem toda notificação de remoção é válida ou de boa-fé. Nesses casos, incentivamos o(a)s usuário(a)s a apresentarem contranotificações quando acreditarem adequadamente que uma solicitação de remoção DMCA é inválida ou imprópria. Para obter mais informações sobre o que fazer se você achar que uma notificação de DMCA foi registrada indevidamente, consulte o site [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Se você for o(a) proprietário(a) do conteúdo que está sendo usado indevidamente em um dos Projetos sem a sua permissão, poderá solicitar que o conteúdo seja removido por meio de uma notificação nos termos da DMCA. Para fazer essa solicitação, envie-nos um e-mail para {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} ou [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|correio postal para nosso agente designado]].

Alternativamente, você pode fazer uma solicitação à nossa comunidade, que geralmente lida com questões de direitos autorais de forma mais rápida e eficaz do que o processo prescrito pela DMCA. Nesse caso, você pode publicar um aviso explicando suas preocupações com direitos autorais. Para obter uma lista não exaustiva e não oficial dos processos relevantes para as diferentes edições do Projeto, [[:m:Copyright problems|visite a página Problemas de direitos autorais]]. Antes de registrar uma reclamação DMCA, você também tem a opção de enviar um e-mail para a comunidade a {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

No entanto, normalmente você pode fazer uma solicitação diretamente à comunidade do projeto: isso pode ser mais eficiente e é mais consistente com o objetivo dos nossos projetos de capacitar a comunidade de usuários.
&lt;/div&gt;


Cada projeto geralmente fornecerá páginas de “Ajuda” ou “Contato” para obter mais orientações ou ferramentas específicas para relatar problemas. Como alternativa, em caso de dúvida, você pode pedir ajuda aos membros da comunidade, enviando um e-mail para {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} ou para um endereço de idioma específico da [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|página da Equipe de resposta voluntária]]. Observe que essas mensagens são monitoradas pelos usuários dos Projetos e não pela Fundação. Por isso, elas não devem ser ameaçadas ou receber solicitações jurídicas.

Se você entrar em contato com a Fundação com um problema, normalmente exploraremos se e como os mecanismos existentes liderados pela comunidade podem investigar e, quando apropriado, resolvê-lo.

Em casos incomuns, pode surgir a necessidade, ou a comunidade pode nos solicitar que abordemos um(a) usuário(a) especialmente problemático(a) ou um conteúdo especialmente problemático devido a perturbações consideráveis no Projeto ou comportamento perigoso. Nesses casos, reservamo-nos o direito, a nosso critério exclusivo (ou quando legalmente obrigados), de:

* investigar seu uso dos Projetos ou de nossos serviços (a) para determinar se ocorreu uma violação destes Termos de Uso, da política de edição do Projeto ou de outra lei ou política aplicável, ou (b) para cumprir qualquer lei aplicável, processo legal ou solicitação governamental apropriada;
* detectar, impedir ou, de outra forma, resolver fraudes, informações falsas ou não verificáveis, problemas técnicos ou de segurança ou responder a solicitações de suporte a usuários;
* recusar, reverter, desativar ou restringir o acesso a contribuições de qualquer usuário(a) que viole estes Termos de Uso;
* proibir um(a) usuário(a) de editar ou contribuir, ou bloquear a conta ou o acesso de um(a) usuário(a) por ações que violem estes Termos de Uso, incluindo a publicação repetida de material ilegal de acordo com a legislação aplicável e em conformidade com os princípios de direitos humanos;
* tomar medidas legais contra usuários que violarem estes Termos de Uso (inclusive denúncias a autoridades policiais); e
* gerenciar os Sites dos Projetos de outra forma, de modo a facilitar seu funcionamento adequado e proteger os direitos, a propriedade e a segurança de nós mesmos e de nossos usuários, licenciadores, parceiros e o público.

Essas atividades de moderação da Fundação podem ser informadas ou realizadas por software (como proteção contra inundação de tráfego (“ Negação de Serviço”)). Nesses casos, a revisão humana está normalmente disponível [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|mediante solicitação]].

No interesse de nossos usuários e dos Projetos, na circunstância extrema de um indivíduo ter sua conta ou acesso bloqueado de acordo com esta seção, ele estará proibido de criar ou usar outra conta no mesmo Projeto ou de buscar acesso a ele, a menos que forneçamos permissão explícita. Sem limitar a autoridade da comunidade, a própria Fundação não proibirá um(a) usuário(a) de editar ou contribuir, nem bloqueará a conta ou o acesso de um(a) usuário(a) somente por causa de críticas de boa-fé que não resultem em ações que violem estes Termos de Uso ou as políticas da comunidade.

A comunidade Wikimedia e seus membros também podem tomar medidas quando isso for autorizado pela comunidade ou pelas políticas da fundação aplicáveis à edição específica de projeto, incluindo, entre outras, alertar, investigar, bloquear ou banir usuários que violarem essas políticas. Você concorda em respeitar as decisões finais de corpos de resolução de disputas que forem estabelecidos pela comunidade para as edições de projeto específicas (tais como comitês de arbitramento). Essas decisões poderão incluir sanções conforme definido pela política da edição específica do projeto.

Usuários especialmente problemáticos que tiverem suas contas ou acesso bloqueado em múltiplas edições de projetos podem ficar sujeitos a banimento de todas as edições de projeto, de acordo com a [[meta:Global bans|Política global de banimento]]. Em contraste com resoluções do conselho ou estes termos de uso, as políticas estabelecidas pela comunidade, que podem cobrir uma única edição de projeto ou múltiplas edições de projeto (como a Política global de banimento), podem ser modificadas pela comunidade relevante de acordo com os seus próprios procedimentos.

O bloqueio de uma conta ou acesso ou o banimento de usuários de acordo com esta disposição deverá estar em conformidade com a Seção 13 destes Termos de Uso.

Se você acredita que não agimos satisfatoriamente em um relatório de conteúdo problemático, ou se você foi submetido(a) a uma ação de moderação da Fundação que deseja contestar, você poderá [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|enviar uma apelação]].  Outras informações sobre as vias de apelação também podem ser explicadas a você no momento ou nas páginas de ajuda específicas do projeto.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Reservamo-nos o direito de suspender (temporariamente ou permanentemente) o tratamento de denúncias ou outras correspondências de usuários ou terceiros, seja sobre conteúdo ou conduta supostamente ilegal ou problemática, ou solicitando recursos contra ações de moderação, se essa correspondência tiver sido feita de má-fé, de forma repetitiva, infundada e/ou abusiva. Em circunstâncias apropriadas, seu endereço de e-mail poderá até mesmo ser bloqueado em nosso(s) sistema(s) de e-mail, e você precisará entrar em contato conosco [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|pelo nosso endereço postal]] se desejar continuar a se corresponder conosco durante esse bloqueio. Para casos menos graves (por exemplo, até três e-mails educados sobre uma ou mais reclamações sem mérito), isso provavelmente será temporário. Comunicações mais frequentes ou mais abusivas têm maior probabilidade de resultar em medidas permanentes.

&lt;span id=&quot;11._Resolutions_and_Project_Policies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==11. Resoluções e políticas dos projetos==

O conselho de curadores da Wikimedia Foundation emite [[:wmf:Resolutions|políticas oficiais]] periodicamente. Algumas dessas políticas podem ser obrigatórias para um projeto particular ou edição de projeto e, quando esse for o caso, você concorda em respeitá-las como elas se aplicarem.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. Termos da API ==

Disponibilizamos um conjunto de APIs, que inclui documentação e ferramentas associadas, para permitir que usuários criem produtos que promovam o conhecimento livre. Ao usar nossas APIs, você concorda em obedecer a todas as políticas aplicáveis que regem o uso das APIs, que incluem, entre outras, a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Política de Usuário-Agente]], a [[wikitech:Robot policy|Política de Robô]] e a [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiqueta]] (coletivamente, “Documentação da API”), que são incorporadas a estes Termos de Uso por referência.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Rescisão ==

Embora esperemos que você permaneça e continue a contribuir com os projetos, você pode parar de usar nossos serviços a qualquer momento. Em determinadas circunstâncias (esperamos que improváveis), pode ser necessário que nós mesmos ou a comunidade Wikimedia ou seus membros (conforme descrito na Seção 10) encerre parte ou todos os nossos serviços, encerre estes Termos de Uso, bloqueie sua conta ou acesso, ou o exclua como usuário(a). Se a sua conta ou acesso for bloqueado ou de outra forma encerrado por qualquer motivo, suas contribuições públicas e um registro de suas atividades nos Projetos ou em relação a eles (incluindo qualquer correspondência que nos tenha enviado) não serão afetados (sujeito às políticas aplicáveis), e você ainda poderá acessar nossas páginas públicas com o único propósito de ler o conteúdo disponível publicamente nos Projetos. Em tais circunstâncias, no entanto, talvez não seja possível acessar sua conta ou configurações. Entretanto, independentemente de qualquer outra disposição destes Termos de Uso, reservamo-nos o direito de suspender ou encerrar os serviços a qualquer momento, com ou sem motivo, com ou sem aviso prévio. Mesmo depois que seu uso e sua participação forem proibidos, bloqueados ou suspensos de outra forma, estes Termos de Uso permanecerão em vigor com relação às disposições relevantes, incluindo as Seções 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 e 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Disputas e jurisdição&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Destacado para dar ênfase''

Esperamos que não ocorra nenhum desentendimento sério envolvendo você, mas, caso ocorram disputas, nós o encorajamos a buscar resolução através dos procedimentos ou mecanismos de resolução de disputas proporcionados pelos projetos ou edições de projetos e pela Wikimedia Foundation. Caso você queira entrar com uma ação jurídica contra nós, concorda em protocolá-la e resolvê-la exclusivamente em um tribunal estadual ou federal localizado no condado de São Francisco, Califórnia. Você também concorda que as leis do estado da Califórnia e, na medida em que isso se aplicar, as leis dos Estados Unidos da América, regerão estes termos de uso, bem como qualquer legal reivindicação que possa se originar entre você e nós (sem considerar as regras governando os conflitos entre leis). Você concorda em se submeter à jurisdição pessoal de e concorda com a jurisdição dos tribunais localizados no condado de São Francisco, Califórnia, em qualquer ação jurídica ou procedimento referente a nós ou a estes termos de uso.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para garantir que as disputas sejam resolvidas assim que surgirem, você concorda que, a despeito de qualquer estatuto ou lei em contrário, qualquer reivindicação ou causa de ação que você possa ter originada dos ou relacionada ao uso dos nossos serviços de acordo com estes termos de uso deverá ser protocolada nos limites do estatuto de prescrições aplicável ou, caso ocorra antes, um (1) ano após os fatos pertinentes subjacentes a tal reivindicação ou causa de ação poderem ter sido descobertos mediante diligência razoável (ou serem para sempre suprimidos).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Conforme descrito na seção 4 destes Termos de Uso, você concorda em resolver as violações das Contribuições pagas sem divulgação em uma Mediação de Empresa de Marketing, a critério da Fundação. As Mediações de Empresa de Marketing são mediações “vinculativas” em que, ao final de uma sessão de meio dia ou de um dia inteiro, quaisquer itens em disputa que permaneçam sem solução serão decididos pelo mediador em uma decisão juridicamente vinculativa. Elas serão conduzidas em reuniões por teleconferência ou videoconferência. Se for necessária uma reunião presencial, a Mediação de Empresa de Marketing ocorrerá no distrito de São Francisco, Califórnia. As partes dividirão todas as taxas e despesas relacionadas à mediação/arbitragem em partes iguais.

Você concorda, como parte de uma Mediação de Empresa de Marketing, em cooperar com a Fundação, inclusive fornecendo, em tempo hábil, qualquer documentação em sua posse relacionada às suas atividades de edição paga não divulgadas, incluindo as contas usadas, os artigos afetados e os clientes que adquiriram tais serviços.

As Mediações de Empresa de Marketing estão sujeitas e são regidas pela Lei Federal de Arbitragem na medida em que o mediador se torna um árbitro. A parte vencedora terá direito a recuperar seus honorários advocatícios (incluindo todos os honorários necessários para determinar a aplicabilidade da Mediação de Empresa de Marketing e para fazer valer o resultado vinculativo) e todos os custos relacionados à investigação e à aplicação de seus direitos. Uma parte pode ser considerada “prevalecente” mesmo que não obtenha êxito em todas as reivindicações feitas.

Se, por algum motivo, todas essas exigências da Mediação de Empresa de Marketing forem consideradas inexequíveis, você concorda em resolver quaisquer disputas conforme descrito no início desta seção.

Proporcionamos esses serviços &quot;como são&quot; e &quot;conforme disponibilizados&quot;, e nos isentamos expressamente de todas as garantias expressas ou implícitas de todos os tipos, incluindo, mas não limitadas às, garantias implícitas de comerciabilidade, adequabilidade para um fim particular e não infringimento. Não damos garantias de que nossos serviços atenderão suas exigências, serão seguros, ininterruptos, tempestivos, precisos ou livres de erros ou de que suas informações estarão seguras.

Não somos responsáveis por conteúdos, dados ou ações de terceiros e você nos isenta, e a nossos diretores, executivos, funcionários e agentes, de todas as reivindicações ou danos, conhecidos e desconhecidos, decorrentes de ou de qualquer maneira relacionados com qualquer reivindicação que você possa ter contra tais terceiras partes. Nenhum aconselhamento ou informação, seja oral ou por escrito, obtido por você de nós ou através dos nossos serviços, cria qualquer garantia não expressamente declarada nestes termos de uso.

Qualquer material descarregado ou obtido através da utilização de nossos serviços é feito por sua própria conta e risco, e você será o único responsável por qualquer dano ao seu sistema de computador ou perda de dados resultante da descarga de qualquer material desse tipo. Você concorda que não temos responsabilidade ou imputabilidade pela exclusão de, ou pela falha em armazenar ou transmitir, qualquer conteúdo ou comunicação mantida pelo serviço.  Reservamo-nos o direito de estabelecer limites ao uso e ao armazenamento a nosso critério exclusivo em qualquer momento, com ou sem aviso prévio.

Alguns estados ou jurisdições não permitem os tipos de isenções de responsabilidade nesta seção. Assim, elas podem não se aplicar a você em parte ou na íntegra, dependendo da lei.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

A Wikimedia Foundation não será responsável perante você ou qualquer outra parte por qualquer dano direto, indireto, especial, consequencial ou exemplar, incluindo, entre outros, danos por perda de lucros, boa-fé, uso, dados ou outras perdas intangíveis, independente de termos sido avisados da possibilidade de tais danos. Em nenhuma circunstância, nossa responsabilidade ultrapassará mil dólares norte-americanos (US$ 1.000,00) no total. Caso a legislação aplicável não permita a limitação ou exclusão da responsabilidade ou de dados incidentais ou consequenciais, a limitação ou exclusão acima poderá não se aplicar a você, ainda que nossa responsabilidade seja limitada na medida máxima possível autorizada pela legislação aplicável.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modificações destes termos de uso ==

Assim como a participação da comunidade Wikimedia é essencial para o crescimento e a manutenção dos projetos, acreditamos que a participação da comunidade é essencial para que estes termos de uso sirvam de maneira apropriada os nossos usuários. Isso também é essencial para um contrato justo. Assim, proporcionaremos estes termos de uso à comunidade para comentários, assim como quaisquer futuras revisões substanciais destes termos de uso, pelo menos trinta (30) dias antes do final do período de comentários. Caso uma proposta de revisão futura seja substancial, proporcionaremos 30 dias adicionais para comentários após a postagem de uma tradução da proposta de revisão para pelo menos três idiomas (selecionados a nosso critério). A comunidade será encorajada a traduzir a proposta de revisão em outros idiomas, conforme apropriado. Para alterações por razões legais ou administrativas, para a correção de declarações incorretas ou alterações em resposta a comentários da comunidade, proporcionaremos pelo menos três (3) dias de prazo.

Uma vez que pode ser necessário modificar estes Termos de Uso de tempos em tempos, notificaremos essas modificações e daremos a oportunidade de comentar por meio dos Sites dos Projetos e por meio de uma notificação no [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. No entanto, pedimos que você analise periodicamente a versão mais atualizada destes Termos de Uso. O uso contínuo de nossos serviços depois que os novos Termos de Uso se tornarem oficiais após o período de notificação e revisão constitui uma aceitação destes Termos de Uso de sua parte. Para a proteção da Fundação Wikimedia e de outro(a)s usuário(a)s como você, se você não concordar com nossos Termos de Uso, não poderá usar nossos serviços.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Outros termos ==

Estes Termos de Uso não criam uma relação de emprego, agência, parceria, controle conjunto ou sociedade conjunta entre você e nós, a Fundação Wikimedia. Para os fins da lei do Espaço Econômico Europeu, da lei do Reino Unido ou de outras leis que envolvam um conceito semelhante, o(a) usuário(a) não está agindo “sob a autoridade” da Fundação quando utiliza os serviços. Se você não tiver assinado um contrato separado conosco, estes Termos de Uso são o contrato integral entre você e nós. Se houver qualquer conflito entre estes Termos de Uso e um contrato escrito assinado entre você e nós, o contrato assinado prevalecerá.

Você concorda que poderemos lhe enviar avisos, inclusive sobre alterações nos Termos de Uso, por e-mail, correio postal ou publicações nos Projetos ou nos Sites dos Projetos.

Se, em qualquer circunstância, não aplicarmos ou executarmos qualquer provisão destes termos de uso, isso não significará uma renúncia a esta provisão.

Você entende que, salvo acordo em contrário por escrito da nossa parte, você não tem nenhuma expectativa de remuneração por qualquer atividade, contribuição ou ideia que nos forneça, à comunidade, aos Projetos ou às edições de Projetos.

A despeito de quaisquer provisões em contrário nestes termos de uso, nós (a Wikimedia Foundation) e você concordamos em não modificar os termos e as exigências aplicáveis de qualquer licença livre empregada nos projetos ou edições de projetos quando tais licenças livres forem autorizadas por estes termos de uso.

Estes termos de uso foram escritos em inglês (norte-americano). Esperamos que as traduções destes termos de uso sejam precisas. Em caso de diferenças de significado entre a versão original em inglês e uma tradução, a versão original em inglês terá precedência.

Caso qualquer provisão ou partes destes termos de uso seja considerada ilegal, inválida ou inexecutável, essa provisão ou parte da provisão será considerada independente destes termos de uso e será executada somente na extensão máxima permitida e todas as outras provisões destes termos de uso permanecerão em pleno vigor.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Obrigado!==

Apreciamos o fato de você ter se dado ao trabalho de ler esses termos de uso e ficamos muito felizes por você estar contribuindo com os projetos e usando nossos serviços. Obrigado pelas suas contribuições. Você está ajudando a construir algo realmente grande – não somente uma importante coleção de projetos de referência editados em colaboração, que proporcionam educação e informação a milhões, que, de outra forma, poderiam não ter acesso – mas também uma vibrante comunidade de pessoas de mentalidade semelhante focadas em uma meta muito nobre.

That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Ñuqanchis ruraykamaymanta qhaway]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Wak Kamachikuna ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

'''''Imaginați-vă o lume în care orice ființă umană poate împărtăși liber noțiuni din întreaga cunoaștere. Acesta este scopul nostru.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Declarația privind Viziunea noastră]]

Bine ați venit la Wikimedia! Fundația Wikimedia, Inc. („noi” sau „Fundația”) este o organizație caritabilă non-profit, cu sediul în San Francisco, California, Statele Unite, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|a cărei misiune]]  este de a încuraja și stimula lumea de pe tot globul să scrie și să dezvolte un conținut sub [[w:en:Free content|licență liberă]] sau în domeniul public, și să-l disemineze eficient și global, gratuit.

Pentru a susține vibranta noastră comunitate, noi asigurăm infrastructura esențială și cadrul organizațional pentru dezvoltarea proiectelor wiki multilngvistice și a editorilor săi (astfel explicat în [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Pagina proiectelor Wikimedia]]) (aici denumite „Proiecte”) și alte eforturi care servesc acestă misiune. Noi luptăm pentru a face și a păstra conținut educațional și informațional în cadrul proiectelor existente pe internet, gratuite și perpetue.

Vă invităm („pe dumneavoastră” sau „utilizatorul”) ca cititor sau contribuitor al Proiectelor Wikimedia, și vă încurajăm să vă alăturați comunității Wikimedia. Înainte să participați, vă rugăm, totuși, să citiți și să fiți de acord cu următorii termeni de utilizare („Termeni de Utilizare”).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Acești Termeni de Utilizare vă ajută să aflați câte ceva despre serviciile noastre publice de la Fundația Wikimedia, despre relația noastră cu dvs. ca  utilizator, și despre drepturile și responsabilitățile tuturor. Noi găzduim o cantitate incredibilă de conținut educațional și informațional, care este alcătuit prin contribuția utilizatorilor ca dumneavoastră. În general noi nu contribuim, monitorizăm sau ștergem conținut (cu rare excepții în care sunt încălcați Termenii de Utilizare, sau în vederea aplicării unor hotărâri judecătorești, sau trebuie rezolvate amenințări urgente și serioase). Aceasta înseamnă că controlul editorial se află în mâna dumneavoastră și a colegilor dumneavoastră utilizatori care creează și administrează conținutul.

Comunitatea — rețeaua de utilizatori care construiește și utilizează constant Proiectele și/sau website-uri (aici denumite „Website de proiect”)  — sunt principalul mijloc prin care se îndeplinesc scopurile misiunii. Comunitatea contribuie și ajută la administrarea proiectelor și website-urilor noastre de proiect. Comunitatea este cea care îndeplinește și funcția critică de creare și de aplicare a politicilor pentru fiecare ediție de proiect în parte (cum ar fi edițiile în diferite limbi ale Proiectului Wikipedia sau proiectul multilingv Wikimedia Commons).

Dvs., utilizatorul, sunteți binevenit să vă alăturați drept contribuitor, redactor sau autor, dar va trebui să respectați politicile care guvernează fiecare dintre edițiile independente ale proiectelor, inclusiv [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Codul Universal de Conduită]] (UCoC), care se aplică tuturor edițiilor proiectelor. Cel mai mare Proiect al nostru este Wikipedia, dar găzduim și alte Proiecte, fiecare cu obiective și metode de lucru diferite. Fiecare ediție de Proiect are o echipă de contribuitori, redactori sau autori care colaborează pentru a crea și gestiona conținutul respectivei ediții de Proiect. Sunteți binevenit să vă alăturați acestor echipe și să colaborați cu membrii ei în scopul de a îmbunătăți aceste Proiecte. Deoarece  suntem dedicați scopului de a face conținutul să fie liber accesibil publicului, conținutul cu care contribuiți este declarat disponibil sub o licență liberă sau eliberat în domeniul public.

Vă rugăm sa înțelegeți că sunteți responsabil din punct de vedere legal pentru toate contribuțiile, modificările dumneavoastră, și pentru reutilizările conținutului de la Wikimedia în conformitate cu legile Statelor Unite ale Americii și cu alte legi aplicabile (între care s-ar putea număra legile din țara în care locuiți sau din cea la care se referă subiectul contribuțiilor dvs.). Aceasta înseamnă că este important să aveți grijă când publicați, modificați sau reutilizați conținut. În lumina acestei responsabilități, avem niște reguli despre ceea ce nu puteți face, dintre care majoritatea au ca scop protejarea dumneavoastră sau protejarea altora ca dumneavoastră. Vă rugăm să rețineți că conținutul pe care îl găzduim este doar în scopuri informative generale, deci dacă aveți nevoie de sfaturile unor experți într-o problemă particulară (cum ar fi probleme medicale, legale sau financiare), va trebui să cereți ajutorul unui profesionist în domeniu. Includem și alte importante notificări și mesaje de declinare, așa că vă rugăm să citiți acești Termeni de Utilizare în întregime.

Pentru claritate, alte organizații, cum ar fi [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|filialele locale ale Wikimediei]] și asociațiile, care ar putea avea aceeași misiune, sunt totuși entități independente din punct de vedere legal și separate de Fundația Wikimedia. Cu excepția cazului în care Fundația prevede altfel ca parte autorizată pe website-ul proiectului, acele alte organizații nu au nicio responsabilitate referitor la operațiunile website-ului proiectului sau conținutul acestuia.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Serviciile Noastre ==

Fundația Wikimedia este dedicată încurajării creșterii, dezvoltării și distribuirii conținutului liber multilingv, precum și găzduirii întregului conținut al acestor Proiecte bazate pe Wiki, gratuit pentru public. Rolul nostru este de a găzdui unele dintre cele mai mari proiecte de referință din lume editate colaborativ, [//www.wikimedia.org care poate fi găsit aici]. Totuși, noi acționăm doar ca furnizor al găzduirii, întreținerii infrastructurii și a cadrului de lucru organizațional. Această infrastructură și cadru de lucru permit utilizatorilor noștri să realizeze  Proiectele prin contribuții și editarea conținutului de către ei înșiși. De asemenea, ele permit utilizatorilor noștri să refolosească acel conținut. Infrastructura pe care o întreținem cuprinde o infrastructură tehnologică specializată care permite utilizatorilor să interacționeze în mod programatic cu conținutul din Proiecte și să-l refolosească (denumită „Interfața de Programare a Aplicațiilor” sau „API”-uri), precum și aplicații mobile.

Așa cum sunt utilizate în restul Termenilor de Utilizare, serviciile noastre constau în: [//www.wikimedia.org Website-urile Proiectelor pe care le găzduim], infrastructura tehnologică pe care o întreținem și orice spații tehnice pe care le găzduim pentru întreținerea și îmbunătățirea Proiectelor noastre.

Datorită rolului nostru unic, există câteva lucruri de care ar trebui să știți când luați în considerare relația noastră cu dvs., Proiectele și alți utilizatori:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Noi nu ne asumăm un rol editorial:''' Deoarece Proiectele Wikimedia sunt editate în mod colaborativ, marea majoritate a conținutului găzduit de noi este asigurată de către utilizatori ca dumneavoastră, iar noi nu ne asumăm un rol editorial. Aceasta înseamnă că, în general, noi nu monitorizăm sau redactăm conținutul Website-urilor Proiectelor și că noi nu ne asumăm o responsabilitate pentru acest conținut. Similar, cu excepția cazului în care am precizat expres altfel, noi nu susținem nicio opinie exprimată prin serviciile noastre și nu garantăm veridicitatea, exactitatea sau fiabilitatea vreunui conținut publicat de comunitate în Proiecte.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Sunteți responsabil pentru acțiunile dumneavoastră:''' Sunteți responsabil din punct de vedere legal pentru editările și contribuțiile dumneavoastră din Proiecte, a reutilizării de către dvs. a conținutului din Proiecte, a utilizării de către dvs. a API-urilor și a utilizării de către dvs. a serviciilor noastre în general. Pentru propria dumneavoastră  protecție trebuie să fiți atent și să evitați orice acțiune ce ar putea conduce la o răspundere penală sau civilă față de orice legislație aplicabilă. Pentru claritate, între legislațiile aplicabile, sunt întotdeauna cel puțin legislația Statelor Unite ale Americii și a Statului California. Pentru alte țări, asta se aplică de la caz la caz. Deși s-ar putea să nu fim de acord cu asemenea acțiuni, avertizăm utilizatorii — în special redactorii, contribuitorii și autorii — că și alte autorități, din afara SUA, ar putea să încerce să vă aplice și alte legi, inclusiv legile locale din țara în care trăiți sau în care vizualizați sau modificați conținutul. În general nu vă putem oferi  protecție, garanții, imunitate sau compensații în urma aplicării acestor legi.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. Politica de Confidențialitate ==

Vă rugăm să citiți [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|termenii politicii noastre de confidențialitate]], astfel încât să fiți conștient de modul cum colectăm și cum utilizăm informațiile dumneavoastră.

== 3. Conținutul pe care îl Găzduim ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''S-ar putea să considerați anumite materiale drept discutabile sau eronate:''' Întrucât găzduim o gamă largă de conținut produs sau adunat de colegii utilizatori, s-ar putea să întâlniți materiale pe care le-ați putea considera ofensatoare, eronate, derutante, etichetate greșit sau contestate în vreun fel. De aceea vă rugăm să vă utilizați bunul simț și o judecata sănătoasă când utilizați serviciile noastre.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Conținutul Proiectelor este doar în scop informativ în general:''' Deși Proiectele noastre conțin destul de multe informații pe subiecte de specialitate, inclusiv problematică medicală, legală sau financiară, acest conținut este prezentat doar cu titlu de informație generală și nu poate fi considerat consiliere profesională. Vă rugăm să apelați la o consiliere profesională independentă de la o persoană licențiată sau calificată în domeniul respectiv și să nu acționați pe baza vreunei informații, opinii sau a vreunui sfat conținut pe vreun Website de Proiect.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Abținerea de la Anumite Activități ==

Proiectele găzduite de Fundația Wikimedia există doar datorită vibrantei comunități de utilizatori ca dumneavoastră care colaborează pentru a scrie, redacta și corecta conținutul. Ne bucurăm de participarea dumneavoastră în comunitate. Vă încurajăm să vă purtați civilizat și politicos în interacțiunile dumneavoastră cu ceilalți membri ai comunității, să acționați cu bună credință, să faceți modificări și să aduceți contribuții în  scopul de a promova misiunea Proiectului comun. Solicităm tuturor utilizatorilor să examineze și să urmeze [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Codul Universal de Conduită]] („UCoC”), care stabilește cerințele pentru colaborarea colegială și civilizată din toate Proiectele pe care le găzduim.

Unele activități, fie ele legale sau ilegale din punctul de vedere al legislației aplicabile, pot fi dăunătoare pentru utilizatori și pot viola regulile noastre, iar unele activități pot și ele să vă angajeze răspunderea. Așadar, pentru propria dvs. protecție, precum și a altor utilizatori, nu trebuie să vă angajați în astfel de activități în Proiectele noastre. Printre aceste activități se numără:

:'''Hărțuirea și Abuzarea Altora'''
::* Implicarea în amenințări, urmărire, spam, vandalism sau hărțuire, așa cum sunt descrise în UCoC;
::* Transmiterea de corespondență în lanț, mesaje nedorite sau spam altor utilizatori;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Încălcarea dreptului la viață privată a celorlalți, în conformitate cu legile Statelor Unite ale Americii și a altor legi aplicabile (care ar putea include legile țării unde locuiți sau din care modificați conținutul)
::* Solicitarea de informații pentru identificarea unei persoane, în scopul hărțuirii, exploatării, încălcării a vieții private, sau în orice scop comercial sau promoțional neaprobat explicit de Fundația Wikimedia; și
::* Solicitarea de informații pentru identificarea unei persoane cu vârsta sub 18 ani, sau sub vârsta majoratului în zona în care vă aflați dacă aceasta este peste 18 ani, într-un scop ilegal sau pentru încălcarea oricărei legi aplicabile legate de sănătatea sau bunăstarea minorilor.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Angajarea în Declarații False, Impostură sau Fraudă'''
::* Publicarea intenționată sau cu bună-știință de conținut ce conține calomnie sau defăimare în sensul legilor Statelor Unite ale Americii;
::* Publicarea sau modificarea conținutului cu intenția de a înșela sau induce în eroare pe alții;
::* Încercarea de a uzurpa identitatea unui alt utilizator sau persoană, denaturarea afilierii dvs. cu orice persoană fizică sau entitate, ascunderea afilierii dvs. cu orice persoană fizică sau entitate atunci când dezvăluirea este cerută de acești termeni sau de politica locală a proiectului, sau folosirea numelui sau a numelui de utilizator al altei persoane cu intenția de a înșela; și
::* Implicarea în fraudă.
:'''Încălcarea Drepturilor de Proprietate Intelectuală'''
::* Încălcarea drepturilor de autor, a mărcilor comerciale, a brevetelor sau a altor drepturi private protejate de lege.
:'''Folosirea greșită a Serviciilor Noastre în Alte Scopuri Ilegale'''
::* Publicarea de pornografie infantilă sau orice alt conținut ce încalcă legile aplicabile privind pornografia infantilă sau a materialelor privind abuzul sexual asupra copiilor sau încurajarea, protejarea sau susținerea altora să creeze sau să distribuie astfel de materiale;
::* Publicarea sau traficarea de material obscen ilegal din punct de vedere al legilor aplicabile; și
::* Utilizarea serviciilor într-o manieră neconformă cu legile aplicabile.
:'''Implicarea în Utilizarea Frauduloasă, Perturbatoare și Ilegală a Facilităților'''
::* Publicarea sau distribuirea de conținut ce conține viruși, malware, viermi, cai troieni, cod malițios, sau alte echipamente ce pot deteriora infrastructura tehnică sau sistemele altor utilizatori;
::* Angajarea Website-urior de Proiect în utilizări automate care sunt abuzive sau perturbatoare a serviciilor, încalcă politicile de utilizare acceptabilă disponibile, sau care nu au fost aprobate de comunitatea Wikimedia;
::* Întreruperea serviciilor prin plasarea unei sarcini nejustificate unui API, unui Website de Proiect sau rețelelor sau serverelor conectate cu un anumit Website de Proiect;
::* Perturbarea serviciilor prin inundarea oricărui Website de Proiect cu comunicații sau altfel de trafic ce sugerează lipsa vreunei intenții serioase de a utiliza Website-ul de Proiect în scopul său declarat;
::* Accesarea, modificarea sau utilizarea cu bună-știință a zonelor noastre care nu sunt publice fără autorizare; și
::* Examinarea, scanarea sau testarea vulnerabilităților oricărui sistem tehnic sau rețea în lipsa îndeplinirii tuturor condițiilor următoare:
:::* asemenea acțiuni nu abuzează sau perturbă nejustificat sistemele tehnice și rețelele noastre;
:::* asemenea acțiuni nu sunt făcute în scopul obținerii de avantaje personale (cu excepția creditării muncii dv.);
:::* raportați dezvoltatorilor corespunzători (sau reparați chiar dumneavoastră) orice vulnerabilitate găsită; și
:::* nu efectuați asemenea acțiuni în scop malițios sau distructiv.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Contribuții Plătite Fără Dezvăluire'''

::* Trebuie să dezvăluiți orice angajator, client, beneficiar vizat și afiliere cu privire la orice contribuție pentru care primiți sau așteptați să primiți compensație. Trebuie să faceți acea dezvăluire în cel puțin unul dintre următoarele moduri:
::* o afirmație în pagina dumneavoastră de utilizator,
::* o afirmație în pagina de discuție asociată paginii în care efectuați contribuțiile plătite, sau
::* o afirmație în descrierea modificării ce însoțește orice contribuție plătită.
::* În plus, dacă faceți un anunț public în afara Proiectelor care face publicitate serviciilor de editare a reclamelor pe Wikipedia pentru compensații de orice fel, trebuie să dezvăluiți toate conturile Wikipedia pe care le-ați folosit sau pe care le veți folosi pentru acel serviciu în interesul terțului.
::Legile aplicabile, sau politicile specifice Proiectelor sau politicilor și ghidurilor Fundației, cum ar fi cele care tratează conflictele de interese, vă pot limita și mai mult contribuțiile plătite, sau pot impune dezvăluiri mai ample. De exemplu, încălcarea mărcilor comerciale Wikimedia (definite în continuare în Secțiunea 6) pentru a face publicitate serviciilor de editare plătită, eliminarea dezvăluirilor privind editările plătite efectuate anterior corect sau editarea plătită efectuată într-un mod care face ca divulgarea corectă să fie o imposibilitate practică încalcă această secțiune.
::* O comunitate dintr-un Proiect Wikimedia poate adopta o altă politică de dezvăluire a contribuțiilor plătite care poate completa sau înlocui această secțiune. Dacă un proiect adoptă o altă politică, puteți să vă conformați acelei politici în locul cerințelor din această secțiune. (denumită „Contribuții plătite fără dezvăluire”) atunci când contribuiți la respectivul Proiect.

:: Pentru mai multe informații, vă rugăm să citiți [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|întrebările frecvente privind dezvăluirea contribuțiilor plătite]].


Editarea de către utilizatorii care primesc compensații fără dezvălui acest fapt creează o povară nerezonabilă pentru editorii voluntari [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|care investighează și aplică politicile comunității]]. Prin urmare, pentru încălcările acestei secțiuni legate de editarea plătită nedezvăluită, sunteți de acord să vă supuneți „Med-Arb” (o „Mediere a Companiei de Marketing”), așa cum este descris în secțiunea 14 a acestor Termeni de Utilizare.

Ne rezervăm dreptul de a păstra discreția privind exercitarea aplicării prevederilor din secțiunea 4 din acești Termeni de Utilizare. Acolo unde este necesar, aplicarea acestor termeni poate cuprinde acțiuni care nu sunt enumerate în [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Politica de Acțiune a Biroului]] Fundației Wikimedia. Dacă aplicarea este necesară în circumstanțe noi, vom depune eforturi în cel mult un (1) an pentru a actualiza Politica de Acțiune a Biroului pentru a cataloga noul tip de acțiune.

== 5. Securitatea Parolei ==

Sunteți responsabil pentru protejarea propriei parole și a altor acreditări și nu ar trebui niciodată să le dezvăluiți nimănui.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 6. Mărci înregistrate ==

Deși aveți considerabile libertăți pentru reutilizarea conținutului Website-urilor Proiectelor, este important pentru Fundația Wikimedia să-și protejeze drepturile de marcă comercială (marcă înregistrată) pentru a ne proteja utilizatorii de impostori. Din acest motiv, vă rugăm să ne respectați mărcile comerciale. Toate mărcile comerciale ale Fundației Wikimedia aparțin Fundației Wikimedia, și utilizarea numelor, mărcilor noastre comerciale și de serviciu, logotipurilor și numelor de domeniu trebuie să respecte acești termeni de utilizare în conformitate cu [[:wmf:Trademark Policy|politica noastră privind mărcile comerciale]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Acordarea de Licențe privind Conținutul ==

Pentru a crește patrimoniul comun de cunoștințe libere și de cultură liberă, toți utilizatorii care contribuie la Proiecte sau la Website-urile de Proiect sunt obligați să acorde publicului general permisiuni largi de redistribuire și reutilizare liberă a contribuțiilor lor, cât timp acea utilizare este atribuită corespunzător și cât timp aceeași libertate de reutilizare și redistribuire este acordată oricărei opere derivate. În vederea menținerii scopului nostru de a furniza informație liberă pentru cea mai largă audiență posibilă, vă cerem ca, atunci când este necesar, tot conținutul publicat să fie reutilizabil liber de către oricine care-l poate accesa.

Sunteți de acord cu următoarele cerințe de licențiere:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Textul la care dețineți drepturile de autor:''' Când trimiteți un text la care dețineți drepturile de autor, sunteți de acord cu următoarele licențe:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), și
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (fără versiune, fără secțiuni invariante, texte pe coperta din față sau pe cea din spate).

Reutilizatorii pot alege să respecte oricare dintre licențe sau pe ambele.&lt;br /&gt;
Singura excepție o constituie cazul în care o ediție a unui Proiect sau o caracteristică impune o licență diferită. În acest caz, acceptați să licențiați orice text cu care contribuiți cu licența cerută de ediția Proiectului sau de acel element.

Vă rugăm să luați la cunoștință faptul că aceste licențe permit utilizarea în scop comercial a contribuțiilor dumneavoastră, cât timp utilizările respectă termenii respectivelor licențe. În cazul în care dețineți drepturile asupra unei baze de date sui-generis acoperite de CC BY-SA 4.0, renunțați la aceste drepturi. De exemplu, aceasta înseamnă că simplele fapte cu care contribuiți la proiecte pot fi reutilizate liber, fără atribuire.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Atribuire:''' Atribuirea este o parte importantă a acestor licențe. Ideea ei este de a acorda credit cui îl merită — autori ca dumneavoastră. Când contribuiți cu text, acceptați ca meritul dumneavoastră să fie recunoscut într-unul din următoarele moduri:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Printr-o hiperlegătură (unde se poate) sau printr-un URL către articolul la care ați contribuit (întrucât orice pagină are un istoric unde se enumeră toți contribuitorii, autorii și redactorii);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Printr-o hiperlegătură (unde se poate) sau printr-un URL către o copie alternativă și stabilă, liber accesibilă, ce respectă licența relevantă și care creditează autorii într-o manieră echivalentă cu creditul acordat pe Website-ul Proiectului; sau&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Printr-o listă a tuturor autorilor (dar rețineți că orice listă de autori poate fi filtrată în vederea excluderii unor contribuții foarte mici sau irelevante).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importul de text:''' Puteți importa texte găsite altundeva sau pe care le-ați redactat în colaborare cu alții, dar într-un astfel de caz sunteți reprezentant și garantați că textul este disponibil conform termenilor compatibili cu licența CC BY-SA (sau, așa cum se arată mai sus, cu orice licență impusă, prin excepție, de ediția unui Proiect sau de caracteristică). Pentru o listă de licențe compatibile, consultați [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Nu trebuie să importați conținut care este disponibil exclusiv sub GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Acceptați că, dacă importați text aflat sub o licență CC care impune atribuirea, trebuie să creditați autorii acestuia într-o manieră rezonabilă. Acolo unde această creditare se face prin istoricul paginilor (cum ar fi cazul copierii interne între proiecte Wikimedia), este suficient să faceți atribuirea în sumarul modificării, care este înregistrat în istoricul paginii. Cerințele de atribuire sunt uneori prea intruzive pentru anumite circumstanțe (indiferent de licență), și s-ar putea să existe cazuri în care comunitatea Wikimedia hotărăște că un text importat nu poate fi folosit din acel motiv.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Materiale care nu sunt texte:''' În Proiecte, materialele care nu sunt texte sunt disponibile sub o gamă de diferite licențe, care susțin scopul general de a permite reutilizarea și redistribuirea fără restricții. Când contribuiți cu un material care nu este un text, acceptați să respectați cerințele pentru asemenea licențe, descrise în [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Politica noastră de Licențiere]], și să respectați cerințele ediției Proiectului sau ale caracteristicii, la care contribuiți. Vedeți și [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Politica de Licențiere de la Wikimedia Commons]] pentru informații despre cum se contribuie cu materiale care nu sunt texte la Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Irevocabilitatea licenței:''' Cu excepția variantelor permise de licența dumneavoastră, sunteți de acord să nu revocați și să nu căutați invalidarea oricărei licențe pe care ați acordat-o în conformitate cu acești Termeni de Utilizare pentru conținutul de text sau pentru materialele care nu sunt texte cu care ați contribuit la Proiecte sau caracteristici, chiar și în cazul în care încheiați utilizarea serviciilor noastre.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Conținut în domeniul public:''' Conținutul aflat în domeniul public este binevenit. Însă este important să confirmați apartenența la domeniul public în conformitate cu legea Statelor Unite ale Americii, precum și cu legile oricărei alte țări, după cum impune fiecare ediție a Proiectului în parte. Când contribuiți cu conținut aflat în domeniul public, garantați că materialul este într-adevăr în domeniul public, și acceptați să-l etichetați corespunzător.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Reutilizare:''' Reutilizarea conținutului pe care îl găzduim este binevenită, deși pot exista excepții pentru conținutul inclus sub clauza ''utilizare cinstită'' sau alte excepții similare stipulate de legile drepturilor de autor. Orice persoană care reutilizează conținut este obligată să respecte licența sau licențele materialului.&lt;br /&gt;

Când reutilizați sau redistribuiți o pagină de text dezvoltată de comunitatea Wikimedia, acceptați să o atribuiți autorilor ei într-unul din următoarele moduri:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Printr-o hiperlegătură (unde se poate) sau printr-un URL care indică pagina sau paginile pe care le reutilizați (deoarece fiecare pagină are un istoric ce listează toți contribuitorii, autorii și redactorii);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Printr-o hiperlegătură (unde este posibil) sau un URL către o copie online alternativă, stabilă și liber accesibilă care respectă licența și care acordă credit autorilor într-o manieră echivalentă cu cea de pe Website-ul Proiectului; sau&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Printr-o listă a tuturor autorilor (dar rețineți că orice listă de autori poate fi filtrată în vederea excluderii unor contribuții foarte mici sau irelevante).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Dacă conținutul sub formă de text a fost importat dintr-o altă sursă, este posibil ca conținutul să fie licențiat sub licență CC BY-SA compatibilă, dar nu GFDL (așa cum este descris în „Importarea textului” de mai sus). În acest caz, sunteți de acord să respectați licența compatibilă CC BY-SA și să nu aveți opțiunea de a schimba licența în GFDL. Pentru a determina licența care se aplică la conținutul pe care doriți să îl reutilizați sau să îl redistribuiți, ar trebui să examinați subsolul paginii, istoricul paginilor și pagina de discuții.

În plus, rețineți că textul care a provenit din surse externe și a fost importat într-un Proiect poate fi sub licență care are cerințe suplimentare de atribuire. Utilizatorii sunt de acord să indice în mod clar aceste cerințe suplimentare de atribuire. În funcție de Proiect, astfel de cerințe pot apărea, de exemplu, într-un banner sau în alte notițe care indică faptul că o parte sau tot conținutul respectiv au fost publicate inițial în altă parte. În cazul în care există astfel de notițe vizibile, reutilizatorii ar trebui să le păstreze.

Pentru orice material care nu este un text, sunteți de acord să respectați licența aplicabilă în baza căreia lucrarea a fost pusă la dispoziție (care poate fi descoperită făcând clic pe lucrare și examinând secțiunea de licențiere din pagina descrierii sau examinând o pagină sursă a acestei lucrări). Atunci când refolosiți orice conținut pe care îl găzduim, sunteți de acord să respectați cerințele relevante de atribuire în măsura în care acestea aparțin licenței sau licențelor subiacente.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modificări sau adăugări la materialul pe care îl reutilizați:''' Când modificați sau adăugați la textul pe care l-ați obținut de la Website-ul unui Proiect, acceptați să declarați conținutul modificat sau adăugat sub licența CC BY-SA 4.0 sau o variantă ulterioară (sau, după cum este explicat mai sus, sub orice licență cerută în mod excepțional de respectiva ediție de Proiect sau caracteristică).&lt;br /&gt;

Atunci când modificați sau adăugați la orice material care nu este un text, material pe care l-ați obținut de pe un Website de Proiect, sunteți de acord să declarați conținutul modificat sau adăugat sub o licență în conformitate cu licența în baza căreia lucrarea v-a fost pusă la dispoziție.&lt;br /&gt;

Atât la conținutul sub formă de text, cât și la cel care nu este un text, sunteți de acord să indicați în mod clar că lucrarea originală a fost modificată. Dacă reutilizați conținutul sub formă de text într-un wiki, este suficient să indicați în istoricul paginii că ați făcut o modificare a textului importat. Pentru fiecare copie sau versiune modificată pe care o distribuiți, sunteți de acord să includeți un anunț de licență care să indice licența sub care este eliberată lucrarea, împreună cu un hiperlegătură sau o adresă URL către textul licenței sau o copie a licenței însăși.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

Fundația Wikimedia vrea să se asigure că conținutul pe care îl găzduim poate fi reutilizat de alți utilizatori fără teama de răspundere și că nu încalcă drepturile de proprietate ale altora. În mod corect față de utilizatorii noștri, precum și față de alți creatori și deținători de drepturi, politica noastră este să răspundem la anunțurile despre presupuse încălcări care presupun formalitățile din Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). În conformitate cu DMCA, vom încheia, în circumstanțe adecvate, activitatea utilizatorilor și a deținătorilor de conturi din sistemul și rețeaua noastră, care încalcă repetat politicile Proiectelor și serviciilor noastre.

Totuși, recunoaștem de asemenea că nu orice notificare de eliminare este valabilă sau cu bună-credință. În astfel de cazuri, încurajăm cu tărie utilizatorii să depună contranotificări atunci când consideră în mod corespunzător că cererea de eliminare datorită DMCA este invalidă sau nepotrivită. Pentru mai multe informații despre ce trebuie făcut dacă credeți că o notificare DMCA a fost depusă în mod nepotrivit, vă recomandăm să consultați website-ul [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen database].

Dacă sunteți proprietarul unui conținut care este utilizat necorespunzător într-unul dintre Proiecte fără permisiunea dvs., puteți solicita eliminarea conținutului prin depunerea unei cereri în conformitate cu DMCA. Pentru a face o astfel de cerere, vă rugăm să ne trimiteți un e-mail la {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} sau [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|prin poștă către agentul nostru desemnat]].

În mod alternativ, puteți adresa o cerere comunității noastre, care gestionează adesea problemele legate de drepturile de autor mai rapid și mai eficient decât procedura prevăzută în DMCA. În acest caz, puteți trimite o notificare care explică preocupările dvs. privind drepturile de autor. Pentru o listă neexhaustivă și neautorizată a proceselor relevante din diferitele ediții ale Proiectului, [[:m:Copyright problems|vedeți pagina problemelor privind drepturile de autor]]. Înainte de a depune o plângere DMCA, aveți și opțiunea de a trimite un e-mail comunității la #2.

== 9. Website-uri și Resurse Terțe ==

Sunteți singurul responsabil pentru utilizarea de către dvs. a oricăror website-uri sau resurse ale unor terțe părți. Deși Proiectele și Website-urile de Proiect conțin legături către website-uri și resurse ale unor terțe părți, nu susținem și nu suntem responsabili sau răspunzători pentru disponibilitatea, acuratețea sau conținutul, produsele sau serviciile conexe (inclusiv, fără limitări, cu privire la orice virus sau alte caracteristici care dezactivează), și nici nu avem vreo obligație de a monitoriza un astfel de conținut al terței părți.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Gestionarea Website-urilor ==

Comunitatea are primul rol de a crea și de a aplica politici în diferitele ediții de Proiecte. La Fundația Wikimedia, rareori intervenim în deciziile comunităților pe tema politicilor și a aplicării lor.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Este posibil să fim anunțați de conținutul ilegal sau de conținutul care încalcă Termenii noștri de Utilizare (inclusiv toate politicile și alte documente încorporate prin referință) din alte motive [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|contactându-ne direct]]. Totuși, de obicei puteți face o cerere direct comunității Proiectului: asta poate fi mai eficient și este mai în concordanță cu scopul Proiectelor noastre de a împuternici comunitatea utilizatorilor.
&lt;/div&gt;


De obicei fiecare proiect va oferi pagini de „Ajutor” sau „Contact” pentru îndrumări suplimentare sau instrumente specifice pentru raportarea problemelor. Alternativ — dacă aveți îndoieli — puteți cere ajutor membrilor comunității, trimițând un e-mail la {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} sau la o adresă specifică limbii din [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|pagina Echipei de Voluntari ce Răspund]]. Vă rugăm să rețineți că aceste cutii poștale sunt monitorizate de utilizatorii Proiectelor, nu de către Fundație. În consecință, aceștia nu ar trebui să fie amenințați sau să li se adreseze cereri legale.

Dacă contactați Fundația cu o problemă, în mod normal vom explora dacă și cum mecanismele administrate de comunitate pot investiga și, dacă este cazul, să o rezolve.

Într-un caz neobișnuit, poate apărea nevoia sau comunitatea ne poate cere să ne adresăm unui utilizator deosebit de problematic sau a unui conținut deosebit de problematic din cauza perturbării semnificative a Proiectului sau a unui comportament periculos. În astfel de cazuri, ne rezervăm dreptul, exclusiv la discreția noastră (sau atunci când suntem obligați din punct de vedere legal), de a:

* Investiga felul în care utilizați Proiectele sau serviciile noastre (a) pentru a determina dacă a avut loc o încălcare a acestor Termeni de Utilizare, a politicilor unei ediții de Proiect sau a altor legi și politici aplicabile, sau (b) pentru a respecta orice lege aplicabilă, orice proces legal sau cerere guvernamentală;
* Detecta, preveni sau a aborda probleme de fraudă, informații false sau neverificabile, securitate, sau de natură tehnică, sau a răspunde cererilor de suport ale utilizatorilor;
* Refuza, reveni, dezactiva sau restricționa accesul la contribuții al oricărui utilizator care încalcă acești Termeni de Utilizare;
* Interzice unui utilizator să editeze sau să contribuie sau de a bloca contul sau accesul utilizatorului pentru acțiuni ce încalcă acești Termeni de Utilizare, inclusiv pentru publicarea repetată a materialelor ilegale conform legislației în vigoare, în conformitate cu principiile drepturilor omului;
* Întreprinde acțiuni legale împotriva utilizatorilor care încalcă acești Termeni de Utilizare (inclusiv prin raportarea lor la autoritățile legale); și
* Gestiona Website-urile Proiectelor într-o manieră gândită pentru a facilita funcționarea lor corespunzătoare și protejarea drepturilor, proprietății și siguranței noastre și a utilizatorilor noștri, a celor ce acordă licențele, a partenerilor și a publicului.

Acele activități de moderare ale Fundației pot fi aduse la cunoștință sau efectuate de software (cum ar fi protecția împotriva floodării (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;)). În aceste cazuri, în mod normal, evaluarea umană este disponibilă [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|la cerere]].

În interesul utilizatorilor noștri și al Proiectelor, în circumstanțe extreme, în care unei persoane i s-a blocat contul sau accesul în conformitate cu această secțiune, acelei persoane îi este interzis să creeze sau să utilizeze un alt cont sau să caute acces la același Proiect, fără permisiunea noastră explicită. Fără a limita autoritatea comunității, Fundația însăși nu va interzice niciunui utilizator accesul doar din cauza unor critici făcute cu bună credință care nu au ca rezultat vreo încălcare a acestor Termeni de Utilizare sau a politicilor comunității.

Comunitatea Wikimedia și membrii ei pot acționa și atunci când le este permis de către comunitate sau de politicile Fundației aplicabile într-o ediție individuală de Proiect, inclusiv, dar nelimitându-se la avertizarea, investigarea, blocarea sau aplicarea de interdicții utilizatorilor care încalcă aceste politici. Sunteți de acord să respectați deciziile finale ale organismelor de rezolvare a disputelor stabilite de comunitățile respectivelor ediții de Proiect (cum ar fi comisiile de arbitraj); aceste decizii pot include sancțiuni prezentate în politica respectivei ediții de Proiect.

Utilizatorii deosebit de problematici ale căror conturi le-au fost blocate în mai multe ediții de Proiect pot fi supuși unei interdicții pe toate edițiile de Proiect, în conformitate cu [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Politica de Blocări Globale]]. Spre deosebire de rezoluțiile Consiliului sau de acești Termeni de Utilizare, politicile stabilite de comunitate, care pot acoperi o singură ediție de Proiect sau mai multe (cum ar fi Politica de Blocare Globală), pot fi modificate de comunitatea relevantă în conformitate cu propriile proceduri.

Blocarea unui cont sau a accesului, ori aplicarea unei interdicții unui utilizator conform acestei stipulări se va face în conformitate cu Secțiunea 13 a acestor Termeni de Utilizare.

Dacă credeți că nu am acționat în mod satisfăcător în cazul unui raport de conținut problematic sau dacă ați fost supus unei acțiuni de moderare a Fundației, pe care o puteți contesta, este posibil să puteți [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|trimite o contestație]]. Alte informații despre căile de apel vă pot fi explicate la momentul respectiv sau în paginile de ajutor specifice proiectului.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ne rezervăm dreptul de a suspenda (temporar sau permanent) gestionarea rapoartelor sau a altei corespondențe de la utilizatori sau terți, fie despre conținutul sau comportamentul presupus ilegal sau problematic, sau a contestațiilor împotriva acțiunilor de moderare, dacă o astfel de corespondență a fost făcută cu rea-credință, repetitiv, nefondat și/sau abuziv. În circumstanțe adecvate, adresa dvs. de e-mail poate fi chiar blocată în sistemele noastre de e-mail, iar apoi va trebui să ne contactați [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|la adresa noastră poștală]] dacă doriți să corespondați în continuare cu noi în timpul blocării. Pentru cazurile mai puțin grave (de exemplu, până la trei e-mailuri politicoase despre una sau mai multe plângeri nefondate), acest lucru este probabil să fie temporar. Comunicările mai frecvente sau mai abuzive cresc probabilitatea să conducă la măsuri permanente.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;11._Resolutions_and_Project_Policies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 11. Rezoluții și Politicile Proiectului ==

Consiliul Director al Fundației Wikimedia publică din când în când [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions politicile oficiale]]. Unele dintre aceste politici pot fi obligatorii pentru un Proiect sau pentru o ediție de Proiect și, atunci când sunt, dvs. acceptați să le respectați în măsura în care se pot aplica.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. Termeni referitori la API ==

Punem la dispoziție un set de API-uri, care dispun de documentație și instrumente asociate, pentru a le permite utilizatorilor să creeze produse care promovează cunoștințele libere. Folosind API-urile noastre, sunteți de acord să respectați toate politicile aplicabile care se referă la utilizarea API-urilor, care cuprind, dar nu se limitează la, [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Politica privind Agentul-Utilizator]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Politica privind Robotul]] și [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etichetă]] (împreună, „Documentația API”), care sunt cuprinse în acești Termeni de Utilizare prin referire.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Încheiere ==

Deși sperăm că veți rămâne și veți continua să contribuiți la Proiecte, puteți înceta oricând să utilizați serviciile noastre. În anumite circumstanțe (sperăm, puțin probabile) ar putea fi necesar ca fie noi, fie comunitatea Wikimedia sau membrii ei (conform Secțiunii 10) să înceteze utilizarea unei părți a serviciilor (sau toate serviciile) noastre, să decidă încetarea aplicării acestor Termeni de Utilizare, să vă blocheze contul sau accesul sau să vă aplice o interdicție ca utilizator. Dacă contul sau accesul dumneavoastră a fost blocat sau închis pentru orice motiv, contribuțiile dumneavoastră și o înregistrare a activităților dumneavoastră în sau în legătură cu Proiectele (inclusiv orice corespondență pe care ne-ați trimis-o) nu va fi afectată (în funcție de politicile aplicabile) și veți putea accesa în continuare paginile noastre publice cu unicul scop de a citi conținutul disponibil public din orice Proiect. În asemenea circumstanțe, nu vă veți putea însă accesa contul sau setările. Totuși, indiferent de orice altă prevedere din acești Termeni de Utilizare, ne rezervăm dreptul de a suspenda sau a încheia în orice moment furnizarea serviciilor, motivat sau nemotivat, cu sau fără anunț prealabil. Chiar și după ce utilizarea și participarea dumneavoastră sunt interzise, blocate sau suspendate în alt mod, acești Termeni de Utilizare vor rămâne în vigoare în raport cu stipulările relevante, inclusiv Secțiunile 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 și 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Dispute și Jurisdicție&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Evidențiat pentru subliniere''

Sperăm să nu fiți implicat în dezacorduri grave, dar, în caz de dispută, vă încurajăm să căutați soluții prin procedurile și mecanismele puse la dispoziție de Proiecte sau de edițiile de Proiect și de Fundația Wikimedia. Dacă doriți să deschideți o acțiune legală împotriva noastră, acceptați să o deschideți și să o rezolvați exclusiv într-o instanță statală sau federală aflată în comitatul San Francisco, California. Acceptați și că acești Termeni de Utilizare, precum și orice proces legal ce ar putea apărea între dumneavoastră și noi (fără referire la principiul conflictelor de legi), sunt guvernate de legislația statului California și, în măsura în care se pot aplica, de legislația federală a Statelor Unite ale Americii. Acceptați să vă supuneți jurisdicției personale și să acceptați locul discuțiilor ca fiind instanțele situate în comitatul San Francisco, California, pentru orice acțiune sau procedură legată de acești Termeni de Utilizare.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pentru a ne asigura că disputele sunt tratate în cât mai scurt timp după ce apar, acceptați că, indiferent de statut sau lege contrară, orice revendicare sau plângere pe care ați putea-o depune în raport cu utilizarea serviciilor noastre sau a acestor Termeni de Utilizare trebuie să fie depuse în limita termenului de prescripție sau, dacă acesta intervine mai repede, în termen de un (1) an după ce faptele pertinente pentru această revendicare sau plângere au putut fi descoperite printr-o investigație rezonabilă (sau investigația să fi fost blocată pentru totdeauna).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
După cum este descris în secțiunea 4 din acești Termeni de Utilizare, sunteți de acord să soluționați încălcările Contribuțiilor Plătite fără Dezvăluire într-o Mediere a Companiei de Marketing, la discreția Fundației. Medierile Companiilor de Marketing sunt medieri '''obligatorii''' în care, la sfârșitul unei sesiuni de jumătate de zi sau de o zi întreagă, orice obiect în litigiu care rămâne nerezolvat va fi decis de către mediator printr-o decizie obligatorie din punct de vedere juridic. Acestea vor fi efectuate în ședințe prin teleconferință sau videoconferință. Dacă este necesară o întâlnire personală, atunci Medierea Companiei de Marketing va avea loc în Comitatul San Francisco, California. Părțile vor împărți în mod egal toate taxele și cheltuielile legate de mediere/arbitraj.

Sunteți de acord, ca parte a Medierii unei Companii de Marketing, să cooperați cu Fundația, inclusiv prin furnizarea în timp util a oricărei documentații aflate în posesia dvs. referitoare la activitățile dvs. de editare plătită nedezvăluită, inclusiv conturile utilizate, articolele afectate și clienții care au achiziționat astfel de servicii.

Medierile Companiilor de Marketing sunt supuse și tratate de Legea Federală de Arbitraj, în măsura în care mediatorul devine arbitru. Partea care prevalează va avea dreptul să recupereze onorariile avocaților săi (inclusiv toate onorariile necesare pentru a determina aplicabilitatea Medierii Companiei de Marketing și pentru a aplica rezultatul obligatoriu) și toate costurile legate de investigarea și aplicarea drepturilor sale. O parte poate fi considerată că „prevalează”, chiar dacă nu are succes în fiecare revendicare susținută.

Dacă, dintr-un motiv oarecare, toate cerințele de Mediere a Companiei de Marketing sunt considerate inaplicabile, sunteți de acord să soluționați orice dispută așa cum este descris la începutul acestei secțiuni.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

La Fundația Wikimedia, facem tot ce putem pentru a furniza conținut educativ și informativ unui public foarte larg, dar utilizați serviciile noastre pe propriul dumneavoastră risc. Vă furnizăm aceste servicii ''așa cum sunt'' și ''în măsura disponibilității'', și declinăm în mod explicit orice garanție exprimată sau presupusă, inclusiv orice presupusă garanție de vandabiliate, adaptare la vreun scop particular, și legalitate. Nu oferim nicio garanție că serviciile noastre vă vor îndeplini cerințele, că vor fi sigure, neîntrerupte, în timp util, precise sau lipsite de erori, sau că informațiile dumneavoastră vor fi în siguranță.

Nu suntem răspunzători pentru conținutul, datele sau acțiunile unor terți și ne absolviți pe noi, directorii, funcționarii, angajații și agenții noștri de orice daune sau plângeri, știute și neștiute, rezultate sau legate de orice revendicare pe care ați avea-o față de asemenea terți. Niciun sfat și nicio informație, orală sau scrisă, obținută de la noi, prin sau din serviciile noastre nu creează vreo garanție nedeclarată explicit în acești Termeni de Utilizare.

Orice material descărcat sau obținut altfel prin utilizarea serviciilor noastre este folosit la discreția și pe riscul dumneavoastră, și veți fi unicul răspunzător pentru orice daune suferite de sistemul calculatorului dumneavoastră, sau pentru orice pierdere de date rezultată din descărcarea oricărui astfel de material. Acceptați că nu suntem răspunzători pentru ștergerea, nestocarea sau netransmiterea oricărui conținut și oricărei comunicații gestionate de serviciu. Ne rezervăm dreptul de a crea limite de utilizare și stocare la discreția noastră în orice moment, cu sau fără notificare prealabilă.

Unele state sau jurisdicții nu permit tipurile de declinări din această secțiune, deci ele s-ar putea să nu vi se aplice parțial sau total, în funcție de lege.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;
{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Fundația Wikimedia nu este răspunzătoare în fața dumneavoastră sau în fața altei părți pentru nicio daună directă, indirectă, colaterală, specială, punitivă sau survenită pe cale de consecință, inclusiv pierderile unor profituri, pierderi de reputație, pierderi de date sau alte pierderi intangibile, și nu numai, indiferent dacă am fost sau nu preveniți de posibilitatea lor. În niciun caz răspunderea pecuniară nu poate depăși în ansamblu 1000 de dolari americani. În cazul în care legislația aplicabilă nu permite limitarea sau excluderea răspunderii pecuniare stipulată mai sus, această limitare sau excludere s-ar putea să nu vi se aplice, dar răspunderea noastră va fi supusă întregii limitări permise de legea aplicabilă.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modificări ale acestor Termeni de Utilizare ==

Așa cum contribuția comunității Wikimedia este esențială pentru creșterea și întreținerea Proiectelor, credem că contribuția comunității este esențială pentru ca acești Termeni de Utilizare să servească corespunzător utilizatorii noștri. Este, de asemenea, esențial pentru un contract echitabil. Prin urmare, vom furniza comunității acești Termeni de Utilizare, precum și orice revizuiri substanțiale viitoare ale acestor Termeni de Utilizare, pentru a comenta cu cel puțin treizeci (30) de zile înainte de sfârșitul perioadei de comentarii. Dacă o revizuire propusă în viitor este substanțială, vom furniza încă 30 de zile pentru comentarii, după ce vom publica o traducere a revizuirii propuse în cel puțin trei limbi (selectate la discreția noastră). Comunitatea va fi încurajată să traducă revizuirea propusă în alte limbi, după caz. Pentru modificări din motive legale sau administrative, pentru a corecta o declarație inexactă sau pentru a modifica răspunsul la comentariile comunității, vom furniza o notificare de cel puțin trei (3) zile.

Deoarece poate fi necesar să modificăm din când în când acești Termeni de Utilizare, vom furniza o notificare privind astfel de modificări și posibilitatea de a comenta prin intermediul site-urilor web ale proiectului și printr-o notificare pe [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Totuși, vă rugăm să consultați periodic cea mai recentă versiune a acestor Termeni de Utilizare. Utilizarea continuă a serviciilor noastre după ce noii Termeni de Utilizare devin oficiali în urma perioadei de notificare și de revizuire constituie o acceptare a acestor Termeni de Utilizare din partea dumneavoastră. Pentru protecția Fundației Wikimedia și a altor utilizatori ca dumneavoastră, dacă nu sunteți de acord cu Termenii noștri de Utilizare, nu puteți utiliza serviciile noastre.

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Alți termeni ==

Acești Termeni de Utilizare nu creează o relație de angajare, agenție, parteneriat, conducere comună sau joint venture între dvs. și noi, Fundația Wikimedia. În sensul legislației Spațiului Economic European, al legii Regatului Unit sau al altor legi care implică un concept similar, nu acționați „sub autoritatea” Fundației atunci când utilizați serviciile. Dacă nu ați semnat un acord separat cu noi, acești Termeni de Utilizare reprezintă întregul acord între dvs. și noi. Dacă există vreun conflict între acești Termeni de Utilizare și un acord scris semnat între dvs. și noi, acordul semnat va avea prioritate.

Sunteți de acord că vă putem trimite anumite notificări, inclusiv referitoare la schimbări ale Termenilor de Utilizare, prin email, poșta obișnuită sau anunțuri pe Website-urile Proiectelor.

Dacă în vreo circumstanță, nu aplicăm vreo prevedere a acestor Termeni de Utilizare, aceasta nu reprezintă o renunțare la această prevedere.

Înțelegeți că, în lipsa unui acord scris din partea noastră, nu vă puteți aștepta să fiți recompensat pentru vreo activitate, contribuție sau idee pe care ne-o oferiți nouă, comunității, Proiectelor sau edițiilor de Proiect.

În ciuda oricăror dispoziții contrare din acești Termeni de Utilizare, noi (Fundația Wikimedia) și dumneavoastră sunteți de acord să nu modificați termenii și cerințele aplicabile ale oricărei licențe libere care este folosită în Proiecte sau edițiile Proiectelor atunci când o astfel de licență liberă este autorizată de acești Termeni de Utilizare.

Acești Termeni de Utilizare au fost redactați în limba engleză americană. Sperăm că traducerile acestor Termeni de Utilizare sunt corecte, dar în cazul oricăror diferențe între sensurile din versiunea inițială în limba engleză și traducere, versiunea în limba engleză are prioritate.

Dacă orice stipulare sau parte de stipulare a acestor Termeni de Utilizare este declarată ilegală, nulă sau inaplicabilă, atunci acea stipulare sau parte de stipulare va fi considerată detașabilă de acești Termeni de Utilizare și se va aplica doar până la punctul maxim admisibil, în timp ce celelalte stipulări ale acestor termeni de utilizare for rămâne în deplină vigoare.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Vă mulțumim! ==

Apreciem că v-ați făcut timp să citiți acești Termeni de Utilizare și suntem foarte bucuroși că veți contribui la Proiectele noastre și că veți folosi serviciile noastre. Prin contribuțiile dumneavoastră, ajutați la construcția a ceva cu adevărat mare — nu doar ca o importantă colecție de Proiecte de referință editate colaborativ și care oferă materiale educative și informative pentru milioane de oameni care altfel nu ar avea acces la ele, ci și ca o vibrantă comunitate de persoane implicate, care gândesc la fel și se concentrează într-un scop foarte nobil.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;

* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

No

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Ither Terms==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Thank Ye!==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Naše podmienky používania&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Predstavte si svet, kde sa každý človek môže slobodne podeliť o všetky vedomosti. To je náš záväzok.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Naše vyhlásenie o vízii]]

Vitajte na stránke Wikimedia! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. („my“ alebo „nás“ vo všetkých gramatických tvaroch alebo „nadácia“) je nezisková charitatívna organizácia so sídlom v San Franciscu, Kalifornia, USA, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|ktorej poslaním]] je umožniť a zapojiť ľudí na celom svete do zhromažďovania a vytvárania obsahu na [[{{lwp|Free content}}|základe bezplatného povolenia]] alebo na verejnej doméne, a jeho účinného a bezplatného šírenia po celom svete.

Na podporu našej živej komunity poskytujeme základnú infraštruktúru a organizačný rámec pre vývoj viacjazyčných wiki projektov a ich úprav (ako je vysvetlené na našej [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|stránke Wikimedia Projects]] ) (ďalej ako „projekty“) a ďalšie snahy slúžiace tejto misii. Snažíme sa, aby bol vzdelávací a informačný obsah z projektov dostupný na internete bezplatne a natrvalo.

Vítame vás („vy“ alebo „používateľ“) ako čitateľa alebo prispievateľa do projektov a odporúčame vám, aby ste sa stali členom komunity Wikimedia. Pred účasťou vás však požiadame, aby ste si prečítali nasledujúce Podmienky používania („Podmienky používania“) a súhlasili s nimi.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Tieto Podmienky používania vám vysvetlia naše verejné služby v nadácii Wikimedia Foundation, našom vzťahu k vám ako používateľovi a právach a povinnostiach, ktoré nás budú spoločne sprevádzať. Uverejňujeme neuveriteľné množstvo vzdelávacieho a informačného obsahu, ktorý poskytujú a sprístupňujú používatelia ako ste vy. Vo všeobecnosti neposkytujeme, nemonitorujeme ani neodstraňujeme obsah (so zriedkavými výnimkami, napríklad v rámci zásad, ako sú tieto Podmienky používania, z dôvodu dodržiavania právnych predpisov alebo v prípade naliehavých hrozieb vážnej ujmy). To znamená, že redakčná kontrola je vo vašich rukách a v rukách ďalších používateľov, ktorí vytvárajú a spravujú obsah.

Komunita – sieť používateľov, ktorí neustále budujú a používajú projekty alebo webové sídla projektu (ďalej len „webové sídla projektu“) – je hlavným prostriedkom dosahovania cieľov nášho poslania. Komunita prispieva do našich projektov a na webové sídla projektov a pomáha ich riadiť. Komunita tiež vykonáva rozhodujúcu funkciu pri vytváraní a presadzovaní zásad pre konkrétne vydania projektu (napríklad rôzne jazykové vydania projektu Wikipédie alebo viacjazyčné vydania Wikimedia Commons).

Ako používateľ sa môžete stať prispievateľom, editorom alebo autorom, musíte však dodržiavať zásady upravujúce každé z nezávislých vydaní projektu, vrátane [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Univerzálneho etického kódexu]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), platného pre všetky vydania projektov. Najväčším z našich projektov je Wikipedia, poskytujeme však aj iné projekty, pričom každý z nich má rôzne ciele a pracovné metódy. Každé vydanie projektu disponuje tímom prispievateľov, redaktorov alebo autorov spolupracujúcich na vytváraní a riadení obsahu danej úpravy projektu. Môžete sa pripojiť k týmto tímom a spolupracovať s nimi na zlepšovaní týchto projektov. Keďže sa venujeme sprístupňovaniu vami poskytovaného obsahu verejnosti, sprístupňuje sa na základe bezplatného povolenia alebo sa zverejňuje na verejnej doméne.

Upozorňujeme, že ste právne zodpovední za všetky vaše príspevky, úpravy a opätovné použitie obsahu Wikimedia podľa právnych predpisov Spojených štátov amerických a iných platných právnych predpisov (ich súčasťou môžu byť právne predpisy krajiny, kde sa nachádzate vy alebo predmet vašich príspevkov). To znamená, že je dôležité, aby ste pri uverejňovaní, úprave alebo opakovanom používaní obsahu postupovali pozorne a opatrne. Vzhľadom na túto zodpovednosť máme zavedené určité pravidlá o tom, čo nemôžete urobiť. Väčšina z nich slúži na vašu vlastnú ochranu alebo na ochranu iných používateľov ako ste vy. Majte na pamäti, že nami poskytovaný obsah slúži len na všeobecné informačné účely, takže ak potrebujete odborné poradenstvo na konkrétnu tému (napríklad zdravotné, právne alebo finančné záležitosti), mali by ste vyhľadať pomoc príslušného odborníka. Súčasť tvoria aj ďalšie dôležité oznámenia a vyhlásenia o vylúčení zodpovednosti, preto si prečítajte tieto Podmienky používania v úplnom znení.

Pre objasnenie uvádzame, že iné organizácie, ako sú [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|miestne pobočky]] a združenia Wikimedia, ktoré sa môžu podieľať na tom istom poslaní, sú však právne nezávislé a oddelené od nadácie Wikimedia Foundation. Pokiaľ nadácia neurčí inak ako oprávnená strana daného webového sídla projektu, tieto iné organizácie nebudú niesť žiadnu zodpovednosť za prevádzku webového sídla projektu ani jeho obsahu.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Naše služby==

Nadácia Wikimedia Foundation sa venuje podpore rastu, vývoja a distribúcie bezplatného viacjazyčného obsahu a bezplatnému hosťovaniu celého obsahu týchto wiki projektov. Našou úlohou je hosťovať niektoré z najväčších spoločne upravených referenčných projektov na svete, [//www.wikimedia.org|ktoré nájdete tu]. Pôsobíme však iba ako poskytovateľ hostingových služieb, pričom dodržiavame infraštruktúru a organizačný rámec. Táto infraštruktúra a rámec umožňuje našim používateľom vytvárať projekty tak, že sami prispievajú a upravujú obsah. Našim používateľom umožňujú tiež používať tento obsah znova. Súčasťou nami prevádzkovanej infraštruktúry je špecializovaná technologická infraštruktúra, umožňujúca používateľom programovo interagovať s obsahom projektov a opätovne ho používať (ďalej len „Aplikačné programové rozhranie“ alebo „API“) a mobilné aplikácie.

Tak ako sa používajú vo zvyšnej časti Podmienok používania, naše služby obsahujú: [//www.wikimedia.org|Hosťujeme Webové sídla projektu], prevádzkujeme technologickú infraštruktúru a všetky technické priestory na udržiavanie a vylepšovanie našich projektov.

Vzhľadom na našu jedinečnú úlohu by ste mali poznať niekoľko faktov pri zvažovaní nášho vzťahu k vám, projektom a iným používateľom:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Nenesieme zodpovednosť za úpravy:''' Keďže projekty sú upravované kolektívne, prevažnú väčšinu obsahu, ktorý hosťujeme, poskytujú používatelia, preto my nenesieme zodpovednosť za úpravy. To znamená, že vo všeobecnosti nemonitorujeme ani neupravujeme obsah webových sídiel projektu a za tento obsah nenesieme žiadnu zodpovednosť. Podobne, pokiaľ sme výslovne neuviedli inak, neschvaľujeme žiadne názory vyjadrené prostredníctvom našich služieb a nereprezentujeme ani nezaručujeme pravdivosť, presnosť alebo spoľahlivosť akéhokoľvek predloženého komunitného obsahu v projektoch.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Zodpovedáte za svoje konanie:''' Z právneho hľadiska zodpovedáte za úpravy a príspevky do projektov, opätovné použitie obsahu projektov, používanie rozhraní API a všeobecnejšie používanie našich služieb. Z dôvodu vlastnej ochrany by ste mali postupovať opatrne a vyhýbať sa akémukoľvek konaniu, ktoré by mohlo viesť k trestnej alebo občianskoprávnej zodpovednosti podľa akýchkoľvek platných právnych predpisov. Na objasnenie uvádzame, že platné právne predpisy zahŕňajú prinajmenšom právne predpisy Spojených štátov amerických a štátu Kalifornia. V prípade iných krajín sa to stanovuje podľa jednotlivých prípadov. Hoci s takýmto konaním nemusíme súhlasiť, upozorňujeme používateľov, konkrétne editorov, prispievateľov a autorov, že orgány mimo územia USA sa budú snažiť uplatňovať iné zákony krajiny vrátane miestnych zákonov krajiny, kde žijete a kde si prezeráte alebo upravujete obsah. Vo všeobecnosti nemôžeme ponúknuť žiadnu ochranu, záruku, imunitu ani odškodnenie voči uplatneniu takýchto zákonov.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. Zásady ochrany osobných údajov==

Žiadame vás, aby ste si prečítali [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|podmienky našich Zásad ochrany osobných údajov]], aby ste vedeli, ako získavame a používame vaše informácie.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==3. Hosťovaný obsah==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Niektoré materiály môžete považovať za nevhodné alebo chybné:''' Keďže hosťujeme širokú škálu obsahu vytváraného alebo zhromažďovaného používateľmi, môžete sa stretnúť s materiálom, ktorý považujete za urážlivý, chybný, zavádzajúci, nesprávne označený alebo inak nevhodný. Preto vás žiadame, aby ste pri používaní našich služieb používali zdravý rozum a správny úsudok.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Obsah projektov slúži len na všeobecné informačné účely:''' Hoci naše projekty obsahujú veľké množstvo informácií o profesionálnych témach vrátane zdravotníckych, právnych alebo finančných otázok. Tento obsah je prezentovaný len na všeobecné informačné účely. Nemali by ste to považovať za odborné poradenstvo. Vyhľadajte nezávislú odborné poradenstvo od niekoho, kto má licenciu alebo kvalifikáciu v príslušnej oblasti, namiesto toho, aby ste konali na základe akýchkoľvek informácií, názorov alebo rád na niektorom z webových sídiel projektu.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Zdržanie sa určitých aktivít==

Projekty hosťované nadáciou Wikimedia Foundation existujú len vďaka živej komunite používateľov ako ste vy, spolupracujúcich na písaní, úprave a vytváraní obsahu. S radosťou vítame vašu účasť v tejto komunite. Odporúčame vám, aby ste komunikovali s ostatnými v komunite zdvorilo a slušne, konali v dobrej viere, poskytovali úpravy a príspevky zamerané na presadzovanie poslania zdieľaného projektu. Žiadame všetkých používateľov, aby si prečítali a dodržiavali [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Univerzálny etický kódex]] („UCoC“) stanovujúci požiadavky na kolegiálnu a zdvorilú spoluprácu v rámci všetkých nami hosťovaných projektov.

Určité aktivity, či už zákonné alebo nezákonné podľa platných zákonov, môžu byť škodlivé pre iných používateľov a porušovať naše pravidlá, pričom za niektoré aktivity môžete niesť zodpovednosť aj vy. Preto sa v záujme svojej vlastnej ochrany a ochrany ostatných používateľov nesmiete zapájať do takýchto aktivít na našich projektoch ani ich inak používať. Medzi tieto aktivity patria:

Túto časť porušuje napríklad porušenie ochranných známok spoločnosti Wikimedia (uvedené ďalej v Časti 6) s cieľom inzerovať služby platených úprav, odstraňovanie zverejnení pri predtým primerane zverejnených platených úpravách alebo platená úprava bez prihlásenia spôsobom, ktorý znemožňuje primerané zverejnenie.
::* Komunita projektu Wikimedia môže prijať alternatívne zásady zverejňovania platených príspevkov, ktoré môžu doplniť alebo nahradiť túto časť. Ak budú v rámci projektu prijaté alternatívne zásady zverejňovania informácií, pri prispievaní do tohto konkrétneho projektu môžete dodržiavať tieto zásady namiesto požiadaviek v tejto časti (pod názvom „Platené príspevky bez zverejnenia“).

Nezverejnená úprava zo strany používateľov, ktorí dostávajú odmenu, predstavuje neprimeranú záťaž pre dobrovoľných editorov, [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|ktorí vyšetrujú a presadzujú zásady komunity]]. Preto v prípade porušenia tejto časti týkajúcej sa nezverejnených platených úprav súhlasíte, že sa podriadite záväznému „Med-Arb“ („Mediácia marketingovej spoločnosti“), ako je uvedené v Časti 14 týchto Podmienok používania.

Vyhradzujeme si právo uplatniť naše rozhodnutie o presadzovaní v súvislosti s ustanoveniami v Časti 4 týchto Podmienok používania. Ak je to potrebné, presadzovanie týchto podmienok môže zahŕňať konanie neuvedené v [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Akčnej politike úradu]] nadácie Wikimedia Foundation. Ak sa za nových okolností bude vyžadovať presadzovanie týchto zásad, maximálne do jedného (1) roka sa budeme snažiť aktualizovať Akčnú politiku úradu, ktorá bude zahŕňať nový typ konania.

Hoci môžete využívať významnú slobodu pri opätovnom používaní obsahu na webových sídlach projektu, je dôležité, aby sme v nadácii Wikimedia Foundation chránili naše práva na ochrannú známku, aby sme mohli chrániť našich používateľov pred podvodnými falšovateľmi. Z tohto dôvodu vás žiadame, aby ste rešpektovali naše ochranné známky. Všetky ochranné známky nadácie Wikimedia Foundation patria nadácii Wikimedia Foundation a akékoľvek použitie našich obchodných názvov, ochranných známok, známok služieb, loga alebo názvov domén musí byť v súlade s týmito Podmienkami používania a v súlade s našimi [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Zásadami používania ochranných známok]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Povolenie na obsah ==

Všetci používatelia, ktorí prispievajú do projektov alebo webových sídiel projektu, sú povinní udeliť široké oprávnenie pre širokú verejnosť na slobodnú distribúciu a opätovné použitie svojich príspevkov, pokiaľ je toto použitie správne označené a rovnaká sloboda opätovného použitia a redistribúcie je udelená akýmkoľvek odvodeným dielam za účelom rozvoja spoločného slobodného poznania a slobodnej kultúry. V súlade s naším cieľom poskytovať bezplatné informácie čo najširšiemu publiku požadujeme, aby v prípade potreby bol všetok odoslaný obsah povolený tak, aby ho mohol voľne opakovane použiť ktokoľvek, kto k nemu má prístup.

Súhlasíte s nasledujúcimi požiadavkami povolenia:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Text, na ktorý máte autorské práva:''' Pri odoslaní textu, na ktorý máte autorské práva, súhlasíte s udelením povolenia na základe:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), a
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (bez verzií, bez invariantných častí, textu na prednej strane alebo textu na zadnej strane).

Opakovaní používatelia môžu dodržiavať buď jedno povolenie alebo obe.&lt;br /&gt;
Jedinou výnimkou je, ak si vydanie alebo funkcia projektu vyžaduje iné povolenie. V takom prípade súhlasíte s povolením akéhokoľvek textu, ktorým prispievate na základe konkrétneho povolenia predpísaného podľa vydania alebo funkcie projektu.

Upozorňujeme, že tieto povolenia umožňujú komerčné použitie vašich príspevkov za predpokladu, že takéto použitie je v súlade s podmienkami príslušných povolení. Ak vlastníte práva databázy Sui Generis Database, na ktoré sa vzťahuje povolenie CC BY-SA 4.0, zriekate sa týchto práv. To napríklad znamená, že fakty, ktorými prispievate do projektov, môžu byť voľne použité bez uvedenia zdroja.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Uvedenie zdroja:''' Uvedenie zdroja je dôležitou súčasťou týchto povolení. Považujeme to za udelenie uznania tam, kde je to potrebné – teda autorom ako ste vy. Pri poskytovaní textu súhlasíte, že uvediete zdroj ktorýmkoľvek z nasledujúcich spôsobov:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostredníctvom hypertextového odkazu (ak je to možné) alebo URL adresy článku, ktoré ste poskytli (pretože každý článok má stránku histórie, na ktorej sú uvedení všetci prispievatelia, autori a editori);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostredníctvom hypertextového odkazu (ak je to možné) alebo adresy URL alternatívnej stabilnej online kópie, ktorá je voľne prístupná, je v súlade s príslušným povolením a ktorá poskytuje autorom uznanie podobným spôsobom ako na webovom sídle projektu; alebo&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostredníctvom zoznamu všetkých autorov (upozorňujeme však, že zoznam autorov môže byť filtrovaný, čím sa vylúčia veľmi malé alebo irelevantné príspevky).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importovanie textu:''' Text, ktorý ste našli na ľubovoľnom mieste alebo ktorého ste spoluautorom, môžete importovať, ale v takom prípade vyhlasujete a zaručujete, že text bude dostupný za podmienok, ktoré sú kompatibilné s povolením CC BY-SA (alebo, ako je vysvetlené vyššie, iným povolením, ak si to výnimočne vyžaduje vydanie alebo funkcia projektu). Zoznam kompatibilných povolení nájdete v časti [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Obsah, ktorý je dostupný výlučne v rámci GFDL, nesmiete importovať.&lt;br /&gt;

Súhlasíte, že ak importujete text na základe povolenia CC, ktoré vyžaduje uvedenie zdroja, musíte autorovi (autorom) poskytnúť uznanie primeraným spôsobom. Ak je takéto uznanie bežne dané prostredníctvom histórie stránok (napríklad interné kopírovanie v rámci Wikimedie), pri importovaní textu stačí uviesť zdroj v súhrne úprav, ktorý je zaznamenaný v histórii stránok. Požiadavky na uvedenie zdroja sú niekedy za určitých okolností príliš rušivé (bez ohľadu na povolenie) a môžu nastať prípady, keď komunita stránok Wikimedia rozhodne, že importovaný text nemožno z tohto dôvodu použiť.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Netextové médiá:''' Netextové médiá v projektoch sú dostupné na základe rôznych povolení, ktoré podporujú všeobecný cieľ umožniť neobmedzené opätovné použitie a ďalšiu distribúciu. Poskytovaním príspevkov netextovým médiám súhlasíte, že budete dodržiavať požiadavky na takéto povolenia, ako sú uvedené v našich [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|zásadách o povoleniach]], a tiež budete dodržiavať požiadavky konkrétneho vydania alebo funkcie projektu, do ktorého prispievate. Ďalšie informácie o poskytovaní príspevkov do netextových médií do siete Wikimedia Commons nájdete tiež v [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Zásadách povolení Wikimedia Commons]].&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Zákaz zrušenia povolenia:''' Ak to nie je v súlade s vaším povolením súhlasíte, že jednostranne nezrušíte ani nepožiadate o neplatnosť akéhokoľvek povolenia, ktoré ste udelili na základe týchto Podmienok používania, pokiaľ ide o textový obsah alebo netextové médiá, ktoré ste poskytli do projektov alebo funkcií, a to ani v tom prípade, ak ukončíte používanie našich služieb.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Verejne dostupný obsah:''' Verejne dostupný obsah je vítaný. Je však dôležité, aby ste potvrdili stav verejne dostupného obsahu podľa právnych predpisov Spojených štátov amerických, ako aj podľa právnych predpisov iných krajín, ako to vyžaduje konkrétne vydanie projektu. Keď poskytujete verejne dostupný obsah zaručujete, že materiál je skutočne verejne dostupný a súhlasíte, že ho vhodne označíte.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Opakované použitie:''' Opätovné použitie obsahu, ktorý hosťujeme, je vítané, aj keď existujú výnimky pre obsah poskytnutý v rámci „spravodlivého používania“ alebo podobných výnimiek podľa platných právnych predpisov o autorských právach. Akékoľvek opakované použitie musí byť v súlade so základným povolením (povoleniami).&lt;br /&gt;

Ak znova použijete alebo ďalej distribuujete textovú stránku vyvinutú komunitou Wikimedia súhlasíte, že uvediete zdroj autorov niektorým z nasledujúcich spôsobov:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostredníctvom hypertextového odkazu (ak je to možné) alebo URL adresy stránky alebo stránok, ktoré opakovane používate (pretože každá stránka má stránku histórie, na ktorej sú uvedení všetci prispievatelia, autori a editori);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostredníctvom hypertextového odkazu (ak je to možné) alebo adresy URL alternatívnej stabilnej online kópie, ktorá je voľne prístupná, je v súlade s povolením a poskytuje autorom uznanie podobným spôsobom ako na webovom sídle projektu; alebo&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prostredníctvom zoznamu všetkých autorov (upozorňujeme však, že zoznam autorov môže byť filtrovaný, čím sa vylúčia veľmi malé alebo irelevantné príspevky).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Ak bol textový obsah importovaný z iného zdroja, je možné, že obsah je povolený na základe kompatibilného povolenia CC BY-SA, nie však GFDL (ako je uvedené v časti „Importovanie textu“ vyššie). V takom prípade súhlasíte s dodržiavaním kompatibilného povolenia CC BY-SA a nemáte možnosť udeliť povolenie na základe povolenia GFDL. Ak chcete zistiť aké povolenie sa vzťahuje na obsah, ktorý sa snažíte znova použiť alebo ďalej distribuovať, prečítajte si pätu stránky, históriu stránky a stránku s diskusiami.

Okrem toho upozorňujeme, že text, ktorý pochádza z externých zdrojov a bol importovaný do projektu, môže podliehať povoleniu, ktoré ukladá ďalšie požiadavky na uvedenie zdroja. Používatelia súhlasia s jasným uvedením týchto dodatočných požiadaviek na uvedenie zdroja. V závislosti od projektu sa takéto požiadavky môžu objaviť napríklad v banneri alebo v iných poznámkach poukazujúcich na to, že časť alebo celý obsah bol pôvodne publikovaný na inej stránke. Ak sú takéto viditeľné poznámky prítomné, opakovaní používatelia by ich mali uchovávať.

V prípade akýchkoľvek netextových médií súhlasíte, že budete dodržiavať príslušné povolenie, na základe ktorého bolo dielo sprístupnené (môžete to zistiť kliknutím na dielo a zobrazením časti s povoleniami na stránke s popisom alebo prečítaním príslušnej zdrojovej stránky daného diela). Pri opakovanom použití akéhokoľvek nami hosťovaného obsahu súhlasíte, že budete dodržiavať príslušné požiadavky na uvedenie zdroja, pretože sa týkajú pôvodného povolenia alebo povolení.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Úpravy alebo dodatky k materiálu, ktorý opakovane používate:''' Pri úprave alebo doplňovaní textu, ktorý ste získali z webového sídla projektu, súhlasíte s udelením povolenia na upravený alebo pridaný obsah podľa CC BY-SA 4.0 alebo novšej verzie (alebo, ako je vysvetlené vyššie, iného povolenia, ak to výnimočne vyžaduje konkrétne vydanie alebo funkcia projektu).&lt;br /&gt;

Pri úprave alebo doplňovaní akýchkoľvek netextových médií, ktoré ste získali z webového sídla projektu, súhlasíte udelením povolenia na upravený alebo pridaný obsah v súlade s akýmkoľvek povolením, na základe ktorého bolo dielo sprístupnené.&lt;br /&gt;

V prípade textového obsahu aj netextových médií súhlasíte, že jasne uvediete, že pôvodné dielo bolo upravené. Ak opakovane používate textový obsah na wiki stránkach, stačí v histórii stránok uviesť, že ste v importovanom texte vykonali zmenu. Súhlasíte, že pri každej kópii alebo upravenej verzii, ktorú distribuujete, do textu povolenia alebo kópie samotného povolenia zahrniete aj oznámenie o povolení uvádzajúce povolenie, základe ktorého sa dielo vydáva, spolu s hypertextovým odkazom alebo URL adresou.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Nadácia Wikimedia Foundation chce zabezpečiť, aby obsah, ktorý hosťujeme, mohli iní používatelia opakovane používať bez obáv zo zodpovednosti a aby tým neboli porušované vlastnícke práva iných osôb. Spravodlivo voči našim používateľom, ako aj iným tvorcom a držiteľom autorských práv je našou zásadou odpovedať na oznámenia o údajnom porušení, ktoré je v súlade so znením zákona Digital Millennium Copyright Act (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA). V súlade so zákonom DMCA za vhodných okolností zablokujeme používateľov a držiteľov účtov nášho systému a siete, ktorí opakovane porušujú naše projekty a služby.

Uvedomujeme si však aj to, že nie každé oznámenie o stiahnutí je platné alebo v dobrej viere. V takýchto prípadoch používateľom dôrazne odporúčame podať odpor voči oznámeniu, ak sa náležite domnievajú, že žiadosť o stiahnutie podľa zákona DMCA je neplatná alebo nesprávna. Ďalšie informácie o tom, čo robiť, ak si myslíte, že oznámenie DMCA bolo podané neoprávnene, navštívte webové sídlo [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Ak ste vlastníkom obsahu, ktorý sa neoprávnene používa v jednom z projektov bez vášho povolenia, môžete požiadať o odstránenie obsahu podaním oznámenia podľa zákona DMCA. Ak chcete podať takúto žiadosť, pošlite nám e-mail na adresu {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} alebo [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|pošlite e-mail nášmu určenému zástupcovi]].

Prípadne môžete podať žiadosť našej komunite, ktorá často rieši problémy s autorskými právami rýchlejšie a efektívnejšie ako je proces predpísaný zákonom DMCA. V takom prípade môžete uverejniť oznámenie s vysvetlením vašich obáv týkajúcich sa autorských práv. Neúplný a neoficiálny zoznam príslušných procesov pre rôzne vydania projektu [[:m:Copyright problems|nájdete na stránke Problémy s autorskými právami]].

Nesiete výhradnú zodpovednosť za používanie akýchkoľvek webových sídiel alebo zdrojov tretích strán. Hoci projekty a projektové webové sídla obsahujú odkazy na webové sídla a zdroje tretích strán, neschvaľujeme a nenesieme zodpovednosť za ich dostupnosť, presnosť ani súvisiaci obsah, produkty alebo služby (najmä vírusov alebo iných deaktivačných funkcií), ani nemáme žiadnu povinnosť monitorovať takýto obsah tretích strán.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Správa webových sídiel ==

Komunita má primárnu úlohu pri vytváraní a presadzovaní zásad, ktoré sa vzťahujú na rôzne vydania projektu. V nadácii Wikimedia Foundation len zriedka zasahujeme do rozhodnutí komunity týkajúcich sa zásad a ich presadzovania.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Môžete nám oznámiť nezákonný obsah alebo obsah, ktorý porušuje naše Podmienky používania (vrátane všetkých zásad a iných dokumentov zahrnutých pod odkazom) z iných dôvodov tak, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|že sa na nás obrátite priamo]]. Zvyčajne však môžete podať žiadosť priamo komunite projektu: môže to byť efektívnejšie a je to v súlade s cieľom našich projektov posilniť komunitu používateľov.
&lt;/div&gt;


Každý projekt zvyčajne poskytuje stránky „Pomoc“ alebo „Kontaktné údaje“, kde nájdete ďalšie pokyny alebo konkrétne nástroje na nahlasovanie problémov. Prípadne – ak máte pochybnosti – môžete požiadať členov komunity o pomoc zaslaním e-mailu na adresu {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} alebo na adresu pre konkrétny jazyk zo [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|stránky Tímu dobrovoľníkov]]. Upozorňujeme, že tieto schránky monitorujú používatelia projektov, nie nadácia. Vzhľadom na to by nemali čeliť vyhrážkam, ani by voči nim nemali byť podávané právne nároky.

Ak sa obrátite na nadáciu s problémom, zvyčajne preskúmame, či a ako môžu existujúce mechanizmy pod vedením komunity problém preskúmať a prípadne vyriešiť.

V neobvyklom prípade môže vzniknúť potreba alebo nás môže komunita požiadať, aby sme sa zaoberali obzvlášť problematickým používateľom alebo obzvlášť problematickým obsahom z dôvodu významného narušenia projektu alebo nebezpečného správania. V takýchto prípadoch si vyhradzujeme právo podľa vlastného uváženia (alebo ak to vyžadujú právne predpisy):

* preskúmať vaše používanie projektov alebo našich služieb (a) s cieľom zistiť, či došlo k porušeniu týchto Podmienok používania, zásad vydania projektu alebo iných platných právnych predpisov alebo zásad, alebo (b) s cieľom dodržiavať všetky platné právne predpisy, právne postupy alebo príslušnú žiadosť štátnych úradov;
* zisťovať, predchádzať alebo inak riešiť podvody, falošné alebo neoveriteľné informácie, bezpečnostné alebo technické problémy alebo reagovať na žiadosti o podporu používateľov;
* odmietnuť, vrátiť späť, zakázať alebo obmedziť prístup k príspevkom akéhokoľvek používateľa, ktorý poruší tieto Podmienky používania;
* zakázať používateľovi upravovať alebo prispievať alebo zablokovať účet používateľa alebo prístup k aktivitám porušujúcim tieto Podmienky používania vrátane opakovaného zverejňovania nezákonných materiálov podľa platných právnych predpisov v súlade so zásadami ľudských práv;
* podniknúť právne kroky proti používateľom, ktorí porušia tieto Podmienky používania (vrátane hlásení orgánom činným v trestnom konaní); a
* inak spravovať webové sídla projektu spôsobom, zameraným na uľahčenie správneho fungovania a ochrany práv, majetku a bezpečnosti nás a našich používateľov, poskytovateľov povolení, partnerov a verejnosti.

O týchto aktivitách nadácie na zmiernenie môžu softvér informovať alebo ich môže vykonať (napríklad ochrana pred zahltením sieťovej prevádzky („zamietnutie služby“)). V takýchto prípadoch je zvyčajne k dispozícii ľudská kontrola [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na požiadanie]].

V záujme našich používateľov a projektov je v krajnom prípade akémukoľvek jednotlivcovi, ktorému bol zablokovaný účet alebo prístup podľa tejto časti, zakázané vytvárať alebo používať iný účet na rovnakom projekte alebo vyhľadať prístup k tomu istému projektu, pokiaľ na to neposkytneme výslovné povolenie. Bez obmedzenia právomocí komunity, nadácia sama o sebe nezakáže používateľovi upravovať alebo prispievať alebo blokovať účet používateľa alebo prístup iba z dôvodu kritiky v dobrej viere, ktorá nemá za následok konanie, ktoré by inak porušovalo tieto Podmienky používania alebo Zásady komunity.

Komunita Wikimedia a jej členovia môžu tiež konať, ak to umožňujú Zásady komunity alebo nadácie vzťahujúce sa na konkrétne vydanie projektu, okrem iného aj vrátane varovania, vyšetrovania, blokovania alebo zákazu používateľov, ktorí tieto zásady porušujú. Súhlasíte, že budete dodržiavať konečné rozhodnutia orgánov riešenia sporov, zriaďovaných komunitou pre konkrétne vydanie projektu (napr. rozhodcovské komisie). Tieto rozhodnutia môžu zahŕňať sankcie stanovené v konkrétnych zásadách vydania projektu.

Na obzvlášť problematických používateľov, ktorí mali zablokované účty alebo prístup k viacerým vydaniam projektov, sa môže vzťahovať zákaz od vydaní všetkých projektov v súlade s [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|globálnymi zásadami zákazu]]. Na rozdiel od uznesení predstavenstva alebo týchto Podmienok používania môže príslušná komunita upraviť zásady stanovené komunitou, ktoré sa môžu vzťahovať na jedno vydanie projektu alebo viaceré vydania projektov (napr. globálne zásady zákazu), podľa vlastných postupov.

Blokovanie účtu alebo prístupu alebo zákaz používateľa podľa tohto ustanovenia musí byť v súlade s Časťou 13 týchto Podmienok používania.

Ak sa domnievate, že sme v súvislosti so správou o problematickom obsahu nekonali uspokojivo, alebo ak sa na vás vzťahovalo opatrenie nadácie na zmiernenie, ktoré chcete spochybniť, môžete [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|podať odvolanie]]. Ďalšie informácie o spôsoboch odvolania vám budú tiež vysvetlené v danom čase alebo na stránkach pomoci pre konkrétny projekt.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vyhradzujeme si právo pozastaviť (dočasne alebo natrvalo) naše spracovanie správ alebo inej korešpondencie od používateľov alebo tretích strán, či už ide o údajne nezákonný alebo inak problematický obsah alebo správanie, alebo požiadať o odvolanie proti opatreniam na zmiernenie, ak bola takáto korešpondencia podaná so zlým úmyslom, opakujúca sa, neopodstatnená a/alebo zneužívajúca. Za vhodných okolností môže byť vaša e-mailová adresa dokonca zablokovaná v našom e-mailovom systéme (systémoch), vtedy nás budete musieť kontaktovať [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na našej poštovej adrese]], ak chcete počas tohto bloku s nami naďalej komunikovať. V menej závažných prípadoch (napr. najviac tri zdvorilé e-maily týkajúce sa jednej alebo viacerých bezdôvodných sťažností) to bude pravdepodobne dočasné. Častejšia alebo urážlivejšia komunikácia môže viesť k trvalým opatreniam.

Aj keď dúfame, že zostanete a budete naďalej prispievať do projektov, naše služby môžete kedykoľvek prestať používať. Za určitých (dúfajme, že nepravdepodobných) okolností môže byť pre nás alebo pre komunitu Wikimedia alebo jej členov (ako je uvedené v Časti 10) nevyhnutné ukončiť časť alebo všetky naše služby, ukončiť tieto Podmienky používania, zablokovať váš účet alebo prístup, alebo zakázať vám prístup ako používateľa. Ak bude váš účet alebo prístup z akéhokoľvek dôvodu zablokovaný alebo inak ukončený, vaše verejné príspevky a záznamy o vašich aktivitách v rámci projektov alebo v súvislosti s nimi (vrátane akejkoľvek korešpondencie, ktorú ste nám zaslali) nebudú ovplyvnené (v súlade s platnými zásadami) a naďalej budete mať prístup na naše verejné stránky výlučne na účely čítania verejne dostupného obsahu projektov. Za takýchto okolností však nemusíte mať prístup k svojmu účtu alebo nastaveniam.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Riešenie sporov a jurisdikcia&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Zvýraznené''

Dúfame, že nevzniknú žiadne vážne nezhody, ktoré sa vá budú týkať, ale v prípade sporu vám odporúčame hľadať riešenie prostredníctvom postupov alebo mechanizmov riešenia sporov, ktoré poskytujú projekty alebo vydania projektov, a nadácia Wikimedia Foundation. Súhlasíte, že ak sa rozhodnete uplatniť si voči nám právny nárok, podáte ho a vyriešite výlučne na štátnom alebo federálnom súde v okrese San Francisco, Kalifornia. Súhlasíte tiež, že tieto Podmienky používania sa budú riadiť zákonmi štátu Kalifornia a v príslušnom rozsahu aj právnymi predpismi Spojených štátov amerických, ako aj všetkými právnymi nárokmi, ktoré môžu vzniknúť medzi vami a nami (bez odkazu na kolízne normy). Súhlasíte, že sa podriadite osobnej jurisdikcii a súhlasíte, že v ktoromkoľvek právnom konaní alebo konaní týkajúcom sa nás alebo týchto Podmienok používania budú miestom konania súdy v okrese San Francisco, Kalifornia.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
S cieľom zabezpečiť čo najskoršie riešenie sporov po ich vzniku súhlasíte, že bez ohľadu na akýkoľvek iný zákon alebo zákon, akýkoľvek nárok alebo dôvod konania, ktorý by ste mohli mať v súvislosti s používaním našich služieb alebo s týmito Podmienkami používania, musíte podať v rámci platnej premlčacej doby, alebo ak skôr, jeden (1) rok po tom, čo príslušné skutočnosti, ktoré sú základom takéhoto nároku alebo žaloby, boli odhalené s primeranou pozornosťou (alebo navždy premlčané).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Súhlasíte, ako je uvedené v Časti 4 týchto Podmienok používania, že porušenia platených príspevkov vyriešite bez zverejnenia mediáciou marketingovej spoločnosti podľa uváženia nadácie. Mediácie marketingovej spoločnosti sú '''záväzné''' mediácie, pri ktorých o všetkých sporných položkách, ktoré zostanú nevyriešené, rozhodne mediátor v právne záväznom rozhodnutí na konci poldenného alebo celodenného stretnutia. Budú sa konať na stretnutiach prostredníctvom telekonferencie alebo videokonferencie. Ak sa vyžaduje osobné stretnutie, mediácia marketingovej spoločnosti sa uskutoční v okrese San Francisco, Kalifornia. Zmluvné strany si rovnomerne rozdelia všetky poplatky a výdavky súvisiace s mediáciou/rozhodcovským konaním.

Súhlasíte, že ako súčasť mediácie marketingovej spoločnosti budete spolupracovať s nadáciou, a to aj včasným poskytnutím akejkoľvek dokumentácie, ktorú máte v držbe v súvislosti s vašimi nezverejnenými platenými úpravami vrátane použitých účtov, dotknutých položiek a klientov, ktorí si takéto služby zakúpili.

Mediácie marketingovej spoločnosti podliehajú federálnemu zákonu o rozhodcovskom konaní a riadia sa ním v rozsahu, v akom sa mediátor stane rozhodcom. Prevládajúca strana má nárok na vrátenie poplatkov za svojich právnych zástupcov (vrátane všetkých poplatkov potrebných na určenie použiteľnosti mediácie marketingovej spoločnosti a vynútenie záväzného výsledku) a všetkých nákladov súvisiacich s vyšetrovaním a presadzovaním jej práv. Strana môže byť považovaná za „prevládajúcu“ aj vtedy, ak nie je úspešná pri každom uplatnenom nároku.

Súhlasíte, že ak sa z nejakého dôvodu zistí, že všetky tieto požiadavky na mediáciu marketingovej spoločnosti sú nevymáhateľné, vyriešite všetky spory tak, ako je uvedené na začiatku tejto časti.

Nadácia Wikimedia Foundation nebude zodpovedná voči vám ani žiadnej inej strane za žiadne priame, nepriame, náhodné, špeciálne, následné alebo príkladné škody, vrátane, ale nie výlučne, škody za ušlý zisk, dobré meno, používanie, údaje alebo iné nehmotné straty, bez ohľadu na to, či sme boli upozornení na možnosť takejto škody. Naša zodpovednosť v žiadnom prípade nepresiahne celkovú sumu tisíc amerických dolárov (1 000,00 USD). V prípade, že príslušné právne predpisy neumožňujú obmedzenie alebo vylúčenie zodpovednosti alebo náhodných alebo následných škôd, vyššie uvedené obmedzenie alebo vylúčenie sa na vás nemusí vzťahovať, hoci naša zodpovednosť bude obmedzená v maximálnom rozsahu povolenom príslušnými právnymi predpismi.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Úpravy týchto Podmienok používania ==

Rovnako ako je príspevok komunity Wikimedia nevyhnutný pre rast a údržbu projektov, veríme, že príspevok komunity je nevyhnutný na to, aby tieto Podmienky používania správne slúžili našim používateľom. Je to tiež nevyhnutné pre čestnú zmluvu. Preto tieto Podmienky používania, ako aj všetky podstatné budúce revízie týchto Podmienok používania, poskytneme komunite na pripomienkovanie najmenej tridsať (30) dní pred ukončením lehoty na pripomienkovanie. Ak bude navrhovaná revízia v budúcnosti podstatná, poskytneme vám ďalších 30 dní na pripomienkovanie po zverejnení prekladu navrhovanej revízie najmenej do troch jazykov (podľa nášho uváženia). Komunita bude vyzvaná, aby podľa potreby preložila navrhovanú revíziu do iných jazykov. V prípade zmien z právnych alebo administratívnych dôvodov, na opravu nepresného vyhlásenia alebo zmien v reakcii na pripomienky komunity budeme o tom informovať najmenej tri (3) dni vopred.

Vzhľadom na to, že z času na čas môže byť potrebné tieto Podmienky používania upraviť, takéto úpravy budeme oznamovať s možnosťou vyjadriť sa na webových sídlach projektu a oznámením na [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Žiadame vás však, aby ste pravidelne sledovali najaktuálnejšiu verziu týchto Podmienok používania. Vaše ďalšie používanie našich služieb po tom, ako sa nové Podmienky používania stanú oficiálnymi po období oznámenia a kontroly, bude podmienené prijatím týchto Podmienok používania z vašej strany. V záujme ochrany nadácie Wikimedia Foundation a ostatných používateľov ako ste vy, ak nesúhlasíte s našimi Podmienkami používania, nebudete môcť používať naše služby.

== 18. Iné podmienky ==

Tieto Podmienky používania nevytvárajú medzi vami a nami, nadáciou Wikimedia Foundation, zamestnanecký vzťah, agentúru, partnerstvo, spoločnú kontrolu ani spoločný podnik. Na účely právnych predpisov Európskeho hospodárskeho priestoru, právnych predpisov Spojeného kráľovstva alebo iných právnych predpisov, ktoré zahŕňajú podobný koncept, pri používaní služieb nekonáte „pod vedením“ nadácie. Ak ste s nami nepodpísali samostatnú zmluvu, tieto Podmienky používania predstavujú úplné znenie zmluvy medzi vami a nami. V prípade akéhokoľvek rozporu medzi týmito Podmienkami používania a podpísanou písomnou zmluvou medzi vami a nami bude rozhodujúca podpísaná zmluva.

Súhlasíte, že vám e-mailom, bežnou poštou alebo uverejnením v projektoch alebo na webových sídlach projektu môžeme posielať oznámenia, vrátane tých, ktoré sa týkajú zmien Podmienok používania.

Ak za akýchkoľvek okolností neuplatňujeme alebo nepresadzujeme žiadne ustanovenie týchto Podmienok používania, nejde o zrieknutie sa tohto ustanovenia.

Beriete na vedomie, že pokiaľ sa nami písomne nedohodnete inak, neočakávate žiadnu odmenu za akúkoľvek aktivitu, príspevok alebo nápad, ktorý poskytnete nám, komunite alebo v rámci projektov alebo vydaní projektov.

Bez ohľadu na akékoľvek opačné ustanovenie v týchto Podmienkach používania, my (nadácia Wikimedia Foundation) i vy súhlasíte, že nebudeme upravovať príslušné platné podmienky a požiadavky akéhokoľvek bezplatného povolenia, ktorý sa používa v projektoch alebo vydaniach projektov, ak je takéto bezplatné povolenie schválené týmito Podmienkami používania.

Tieto Podmienky používania boli napísané v angličtine (USA). Hoci dúfame, že preklady týchto Podmienok používania budú presné, v prípade akýchkoľvek rozdielov vo význame medzi pôvodnou anglickou verziou a prekladom má prednosť pôvodná anglická verzia.

Ak sa zistí, že akékoľvek ustanovenie alebo časť ustanovenia týchto Podmienok používania je nezákonné, neplatné alebo nevymáhateľné, bude sa toto ustanovenie alebo časť ustanovenia považovať za oddeliteľné od týchto Podmienok používania a bude sa uplatňovať v maximálnom prípustnom rozsahu a všetky ostatné ustanovenia týchto Podmienok používania zostanú v plnej platnosti a účinnosti.

== Ďakujeme! ==

Ceníme si, že ste si našli čas a prečítali si tieto Podmienky používania. Sme veľmi radi, že ste prispievate do projektov a využívali naše služby. Prostredníctvom vašich príspevkov pomáhate budovať niečo skutočne veľké – nielen dôležitú zbierku spoločne upravených referenčných projektov, ktoré poskytujú vzdelanie a informácie miliónom ľudí, ktorým by inak mohol chýbať prístup, ale aj živú komunitu rovnako zmýšľajúcich a angažovaných kolegov zameraných na veľmi ušľachtilý cieľ.

'''''Predstavljajte si svet, v katerem lahko vsak človek prosto deli vse svoje znanje. To je naša zaveza.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Naša izjava o viziji]]

Dobrodošli v Wikimediji! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (»mi« ali »nam«) je neprofitna dobrodelna organizacija s sedežem v San Franciscu, Kalifornija, ZDA, [[:wmf:Mission statement|katere poslanstvo]] je opolnomočiti in angažirati ljudi po vsem svetu, da zbirajo in razvijajo vsebine [[w:en:Free content|pod prosto licenco]] ali v javni domeni ter da jih učinkovito in brezplačno razširjajo po vsem svetu.

Da bi podprli našo živahno skupnost, nudimo bistveno infrastrukturo in organizacijski okvir za razvoj večjezičnih wiki projektov in njihovih izdaj (kot je pojasnjeno na strani [[wmf:Our projects|Projekti Wikimedia]]) (v nadaljevanju »projekti«) in drugih prizadevanj, ki služijo temu poslanstvu. Prizadevamo si, da bi izobraževalne in informativne vsebine iz projektov, ki so na voljo na internetu, bile na voljo brezplačno in trajno.

Kot bralec ali donator (»vi« ali »uporabnik«) vas spodbujamo, da se pridružite skupnosti Wikimedia. Pred sodelovanjem vas prosimo, da preberete in se strinjate z naslednjimi Pogoji uporabe (»pogoji uporabe«).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
V teh Pogojih uporabe so informacije o naših javnih storitvah v Wikimedia Foundation, našem odnosu do vas kot uporabnika ter pravicah in odgovornostih. Gostimo neverjetno količino izobraževalnih in informacijskih vsebin, ki jih prispevajo in omogočajo uporabniki, kot ste vi. Na splošno ne prispevamo, spremljamo ali brišemo vsebine (z redkimi izjemami, kot na primer v okviru pravilnikov, kot so ti Pogoji uporabe, za skladnost z zakonodajo ali kadar se soočamo z grožnjo resne škode). To pomeni, da je uredniški nadzor v vaših rokah in v rokah vaših kolegov uporabnikov, ki ustvarjajo in upravljajo z vsebino.

Skupnost – mreža uporabnikov, ki stalno gradijo in uporabljajo projekte in/ali njihove spletne strani (v nadaljevanju »projektne spletne strani«) – je glavno sredstvo za doseganje ciljev misije. Skupnost prispeva in pomaga upravljati z našimi projekti in projektnimi spletnimi stranmi. Skupnost prevzame tudi kritično funkcijo ustvarjanja in uveljavljanja pravilnikov za določene izdaje projekta (kot so različne jezikovne izdaje za projekt Wikipedia ali večjezična izdaja Wikimedia Commons).

Vabimo vas, da se pridružite kot sodelavec, urednik ali avtor, vendar morate upoštevati pravilnike, ki urejajo vsako neodvisno izdajo projekta, vključno z [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Univerzalnim kodeksom ravnanja]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), ki velja za vse izdaje projekta. Največji od naših projektov je Wikipedia, vendar gostimo tudi druge projekte, vsak z drugačnimi cilji in načini dela. Vsaka izdaja projekta ima skupino sodelavcev, urednikov ali avtorjev, ki sodelujejo pri ustvarjanju in upravljanju vsebine. Lahko se pridružite tem ekipam in skupaj izboljšujete te projekte. Ker smo zavezani k temu, da je vsebina prosto dostopna javnosti, je vsebina, ki jo prispevate, na voljo pod prosto licenco ali objavljena v javni domeni.

Zavedajte se, da ste pravno odgovorni za vse vaše prispevke, popravke in ponovno uporabo vsebin na Wikimedii v skladu z zakoni Združenih držav Amerike in drugimi veljavnimi zakoni (ki lahko vključujejo zakone, kjer se nahajate vi ali predmet vaših prispevkov). To pomeni, da morate biti previdni pri objavljanju, spreminjanju ali ponovni uporabi vsebine. V zvezi s to odgovornostjo imamo nekaj pravil o dejanjih, ki jih ne smete storiti, večina jih je za vašo lastno zaščito oz. za zaščito drugih uporabnikov, kot ste vi. Prosimo, upoštevajte, da je vsebina, ki jo gostimo, samo za splošne informativne namene, če potrebujete strokovno svetovanje za določeno vprašanje (kot so medicinska, pravna ali finančna vprašanja), poiščite pomoč ustreznega strokovnjaka. Prav tako so vključena druga pomembna obvestila in izjave o omejitvi odgovornosti, zato vas prosimo, da v celoti preberete te Pogoje uporabe.

Zaradi jasnosti so druge organizacije, kot so [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|lokalna poglavja na Wikimedii]] in povezave, ki lahko sodelujejo v istem poslanstvu, kljub temu pravno neodvisne in ločene od Wikimedia Foundation. Če ni drugače navedeno s strani fundacije kot pooblaščene osebe na spletni strani določenega projekta, te druge organizacije niso odgovorne za delovanje spletne strani ali njeno vsebino.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Naše storitve ==

Fundacija Wikimedia Foundation je namenjena spodbujanju rasti, razvoja in distribucije proste večjezične vsebine ter brezplačnemu gostovanju celotne vsebine teh wiki-projektov za javno brezplačno uporabo. Naša vloga je, da gostimo nekaj največjih kolaborativno urejenih referenčnih projektov na svetu, [//www.wikimedia.org ki jih lahko najdete tukaj]. Vendar pa delujemo le kot ponudnik storitev gostovanja, kjer vzdržujemo infrastrukturo in organizacijski okvir. Ta infrastruktura in okvir omogočata našim uporabnikom, da sami prispevajo in urejajo projekte. Prav tako omogočajo našim uporabnikom, da ponovno uporabijo to vsebino. Infrastruktura, ki jo vzdržujemo, vključuje specializirano tehnološko infrastrukturo, ki uporabnikom omogoča programsko interakcijo in ponovno uporabo vsebin v projektih (imenovanih »vmesnik za aplikacijsko programiranje« ali »API«) in mobilnih aplikacijah.

Kot se uporabljajo v vseh preostalih pogojih uporabe, naše storitve sestavljajo: [//www.wikimedia.org Projektne spletne strani, ki jih gostimo], tehnološko infrastrukturo, ki jo vzdržujemo, in vse tehnične prostore, ki jih gostimo za vzdrževanje in izboljšanje naših projektov.

Zaradi naše edinstvene vloge obstaja nekaj stvari, ki jih morate vedeti pri našem odnosu do vas, projektov in drugih uporabnikov:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Ne prevzemamo uredniške vloge:''' Ker se projekti urejajo v sodelovanju z drugimi, veliko večino vsebine, ki jo gostimo, zagotavljajo uporabniki in ne prevzemamo uredniške vloge. To pomeni, da na splošno ne spremljamo ali urejamo vsebine projektnih spletnih strani in ne prevzemamo nobene odgovornosti za to vsebino. Razen če smo izrecno navedli drugače, ne podpiramo mnenj, izraženih prek naših storitev, in ne predstavljamo ali jamčimo za resničnost, točnost ali zanesljivost katere koli poslane vsebine skupnosti na projektih.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Odgovorni ste za svoja dejanja:''' Pravno ste odgovorni za vaše spremembe in prispevke v projektih, vašo ponovno uporabo vsebine v projektih, vašo uporabo API-jev in vašo uporabo naših storitev na splošno. Za lastno zaščito morate biti previdni in se izogibati vsakršnim dejanjem, ki lahko povzročijo kazensko ali civilno odgovornost v skladu z veljavnimi zakoni. Zaradi jasnosti veljavna zakonodaja vključuje vsaj zakone Združenih držav Amerike in zvezne države Kalifornije. Za druge države se to določi za vsak primer posebej. Čeprav se s takšnimi dejanji morda ne strinjamo, uporabnike – zlasti urednike, sodelavce in avtorje – opozarjamo, da si lahko organi zunaj ZDA prizadevajo za uporabo drugih zakonov države za vas, vključno z lokalnimi zakoni, kjer živite ali kjer si ogledujete ali urejate vsebino. Na splošno ne moremo nuditi zaščite, garancije, imunitete ali odškodnine pri uporabi teh zakonov.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Pravilnik o zasebnosti ==

Prosimo vas, da pregledate [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|pogoje našega Pravilnika o zasebnosti]], da boste vedeli, kako zbiramo in uporabljamo vaše podatke.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Vsebina, ki jo gostimo ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Morda se vam določeno gradivo zdi sporno ali napačno:''' Ker gostimo široko paleto vsebin, ki jih proizvajajo ali zbirajo drugi uporabniki, lahko naletite na gradivo, ki se vam zdi žaljivo, napačno, zavajajoče, napačno označeno ali kako drugače sporno. Zato vas prosimo, da pri uporabi naših storitev uporabljate ustrezno in pravilno presojo.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Vsebina projekta je samo za splošne informativne namene:''' Čeprav naši projekti vsebujejo veliko informacij, ki se nanašajo na strokovne teme, vključno z zdravstvenimi, pravnimi ali finančnimi vprašanji, je ta vsebina predstavljena samo v splošne informativne namene. Tega se ne sme jemati kot strokovni nasvet. Prosimo vas, da se za strokovno svetovanje obrnete na nekoga, ki je licenciran ali usposobljen na zadevnem področju in za to ne uporabljate informacij, mnenj ali nasvetov na projektnih spletnih straneh.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Opustitev določenih aktivnosti ==

Projekti, ki jih gosti fundacija Wikimedia Foundation, obstajajo samo zaradi živahne skupnosti uporabnikov, kot ste vi, ki sodelujejo pri pisanju, urejanju in organizaciji vsebine. Veseli smo vaše udeležbe v tej skupnosti. Spodbujamo vas, da ste pri svojih interakcijah z drugimi v skupnosti vljudni, da delujete v dobri veri ter da urejate in prispevate k nadaljnjemu poslanstvu skupnega projekta. Vsi uporabniki naj pregledajo in sledijo [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Univerzalnemu kodeksu ravnanja]] (»UCoC«), ki določa zahteve za kolegialno in vljudno sodelovanje v vseh projektih, ki jih gostimo.

Nekatere dejavnosti, bodisi zakonite ali nezakonite v skladu z veljavno zakonodajo, so lahko škodljive za druge uporabnike in kršijo naša pravila, za nekatere dejavnosti pa lahko nosite pravno odgovornost. Zato se zaradi svoje zaščite in zaščite drugih uporabnikov ne smete ukvarjati s takšnimi dejavnostmi na naših projektih ali jih kako drugače uporabljati. Te dejavnosti vključujejo:

:'''Nadlegovanje in zloraba drugih'''
::* Grožnje, zalezovanja, pošiljanje neželenih sporočil, vandalizem ali nadlegovanje, kot je opisano v UCoC;
::* Pošiljanje verižne pošte ali neželene pošte drugim uporabnikom;
::* Objavljanje ali spreminjanje vsebine z namenom, da resno škodujete drugim, kot so namerne spodbude za samopoškodovanje ali za namerno sprožitev epilepsije.
: '''Kršitev zasebnosti drugih'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

: '''Plačani prispevki brez razkritja'''

::*Razkriti morate vsakega delodajalca, stranko, nameravanega upravičenca in povezavo v zvezi s katerim koli prispevkom, za katerega prejmete ali pričakujete, da boste prejeli nadomestilo. To razkritje morate opraviti na vsaj enega od naslednjih načinov:
:::*izjavo na vaši uporabniški strani,
:::*izjavo na pogovorni strani, ki spremlja vse plačane prispevke, ali
:::*izjavo v povzetku urejanja, ki spremlja vse plačane prispevke.
::*Poleg tega, če javno objavite storitve za urejanje oglasov za projekte na Wikipediji v zameno za kakršno koli nadomestilo, morate razkriti vse račune Wikipedije, ki ste jih uporabili ali jih boste uporabili za to storitev v javni objavi pri storitvi tretje osebe.
::*Veljavna zakonodaja ali pravilniki in smernice za posamezne projekte, npr. pravilniki in smernice, ki obravnavajo navzkrižje interesov, lahko dodatno omejijo plačane prispevke ali je zanje potrebno podrobnejše razkritje. Na primer, kršitev blagovne znamke Wikimedie (opredeljene v nadaljevanju v razdelku 6) pri oglaševanju plačljivih storitev urejanja, odstranjevanje razkritij na predhodno ustrezno razkritih plačanih popravkih ali pri plačljivem urejanju brez povezave, na način, ki praktično onemogoča ustrezno razkrivanje, predstavlja kršitev tega razdelka.
::*Skupnost Wikimedia Project lahko sprejme drug pravilnik o razkritju plačanega prispevka, ki lahko dopolni ali nadomesti ta razdelek. Če projekt sprejme alternativni pravilnik o razkritju, lahko pri prispevanju k temu projektu ravnate v skladu s tem pravilnikom namesto z zahtevami v tem razdelku (imenovanim »plačani prispevki brez razkritja«).

:: Za več informacij preberite naša [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|pogosta vprašanja o razkritju plačanih prispevkov]].


Nerazkrito urejanje uporabnikov, ki prejemajo nadomestilo, ustvarja nerazumno breme za urednike prostovoljce, [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|ki preiskujejo in uveljavljajo pravilnike skupnosti]]. Zato se za kršitve tega razdelka, povezane z nerazkritim plačanim urejanjem, strinjate, da se boste zavezali k zavezujočim »mediacijam marketinških podjetij« (»Med-Arb«), kot je opisano v razdelku 14 teh Pogojev uporabe.

== 6. Blagovne znamke ==

Čeprav lahko svobodno uporabljate vsebino na projektnih spletnih mestih, je pomembno, da v Wikimedia Foundation zaščitimo pravice naših blagovnih znamk, da lahko zaščitimo naše uporabnike pred goljufivimi oponašalci. Zato vas prosimo, da spoštujete naše blagovne znamke. Vse blagovne znamke Wikimedia Foundation pripadajo Wikimedia Foundation, vsaka uporaba naših trgovskih imen, blagovnih znamk, storitvenih znamk, logotipov ali domenskih imen pa mora biti skladna s temi Pogoji uporabe in v skladu z našim [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Pravilnikom o blagovnih znamkah]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Licenciranje vsebine ==

Da bi dvignili raven skupnega znanja in kulture svobode, morajo vsi uporabniki, ki prispevajo k projektom ali projektnim spletnim mestom, širši javnosti podeliti dovoljenje za prosto razširjanje in ponovno uporabo svojih prispevkov, če je ta uporaba ustrezno dodeljena in če za svoboda ponovne uporabe in širjenja velja za vsa naložena dela. V skladu z našim ciljem zagotavljanja brezplačnih informacij najširšemu možnemu občinstvu zahtevamo, da se po potrebi vsa predložena vsebina licencira tako, da jo lahko prosto ponovno uporabi vsakdo, ki lahko dostopa do nje.

Strinjate se z naslednjimi licenčnimi zahtevami:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Besedilo, za katerega ste imetnik avtorskih pravic:''' Ko pošljete besedilo, za katerega imate avtorske pravice, se strinjate, da boste za besedilo dali licenco na podlagi:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Mednarodne licence Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (»CC BY-SA 4.0«) in
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html Licence GNU Free Documentation License] (»GFDL«) (nespremenjena, brez nespremenljivih razdelkov, besedil s sprednje strani ali besedil s hrbtne strani).

Uporabniki lahko delujejo v skladu s katero koli licenco.&lt;br /&gt;
Edina izjema je, če izdaja ali funkcija projekta zahteva drugačno licenco. V tem primeru se strinjate, da boste dali licenco za vsako besedilo, katero prispevate v okviru posebne licence, ki jo predpisuje izdaja projekta ali funkcija.

Upoštevajte, da te licence dovoljujejo komercialno uporabo vaših prispevkov, če je takšna uporaba skladna s pogoji zadevnih licenc. Če imate pravice do baze podatkov Sui Generis, ki jih zajema CC BY-SA 4.0, se tem pravicam odpovedujete. To na primer pomeni, da se lahko dejstva, ki jih prispevate k projektom, prosto uporabljajo brez pripisovanja.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Pripisovanje:''' Pripisovanje je pomemben del teh licenc. Menimo, da pripisuje avtorstvo, kjer je to potrebno, in sicer avtorjem, kot ste vi. Ko prispevate besedilo, se strinjate, da vam bo pripisano avtorstvo na katerega koli od naslednjih načinov:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preko hiperpovezave (kjer je to mogoče) ali URL-ja članka, h kateremu ste prispevali (ker ima vsak članek stran z zgodovino, ki navaja vse sodelujoče, avtorje in urednike);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prek hiperpovezave (kjer je to mogoče) ali URL-ja do alternativne, stabilne spletne kopije, ki je prosto dostopna, ki je v skladu z ustrezno licenco in zagotavlja zasluge avtorjem na način, ki je enakovreden zaslugi, podani na spletni strani projekta; ali&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;S seznamom vseh avtorjev (vendar upoštevajte, da se lahko vsak seznam avtorjev filtrira, da se izključijo zelo majhni ali nepomembni prispevki).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Uvoz besedila:''' Besedilo, ki ste ga našli drugje ali ste ga soavtorizirali z drugimi, lahko uvozite, vendar v tem primeru izjavljate in jamčite, da je besedilo na voljo pod pogoji, ki so združljivi s CC BY-SA (oz. kot je pojasnjeno zgoraj, pod drugo licenco, če to izjemoma zahteva izdaja ali funkcija projekta). Za seznam združljivih licenc glejte [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons] . Ne boste uvozili vsebine, ki je na voljo izključno v okviru GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Strinjate se, da če uvažate besedilo pod licenco CC, ki zahteva pripisovanje avtorstva, morate avtorju oz. avtorjem na razumen način pripisati avtorstvo. Kadar se pripisovanje avtorstva izvaja skozi zgodovino strani (kot je notranje kopiranje Wikimedia), zadostuje, da se pri uvozu besedila avtorstvo pripiše v povzetku urejanja, ki je zabeležen v zgodovini strani. Zahteve glede pripisovanja so včasih preveč vsiljive za določene okoliščine (ne glede na licenco) in morda obstajajo primeri, ko se skupnost Wikimedia odloči, da uvoženega besedila zato ni mogoče uporabiti.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nebesedilni mediji:''' Nebesedilni nosilci podatkov v projektih so na voljo v okviru različnih licenc, ki podpirajo splošni cilj omogočanja neomejene ponovne uporabe in redistribucije. Ko prispevate ne-besedilne nosilce podatkov, se strinjate, da boste upoštevali zahteve za licence, kot je opisano v našem [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Pravilniku o licenciranju]], in da boste tudi ravnali v skladu z zahtevami določene izdaje ali funkcije projekta, h kateremu prispevate. Za več informacij o prispevanju nebesedilnih medijev v Wikimedia Commons glejte tudi [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Pravilnik o licenciranju za Wikimedia Commons]].&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Brez preklica licence:''' Razen če je to v skladu z vašo licenco, se strinjate, da ne boste enostransko preklicali ali zahtevali razveljavitve katere koli licence, ki ste jo podelili v skladu s temi Pogoji uporabe za besedilno vsebino ali nebesedilne medije, ki so prispevali k projektom ali funkcijam, tudi če prekinete uporabo naših storitev.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Vsebina javne domene:''' Dobrodošla je vsebina v javni domeni. Pomembno pa je, da potrdite stanje javne domene vsebine v skladu z zakonodajo Združenih držav Amerike in zakonodajo drugih držav, kot to zahteva posebna izdaja projekta. Ko prispevate vsebino, ki je v javni domeni, jamčite, da je gradivo dejansko v javni domeni, in se strinjate, da ga boste ustrezno označili.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ponovna uporaba:''' Ponovna uporaba vsebine, ki jo gostimo, je dobrodošla, čeprav obstajajo izjeme za vsebino, ki je bila naložena v okviru »poštene uporabe« ali podobnih izjem v skladu z veljavno zakonodajo o avtorskih pravicah. Vsaka ponovna uporaba mora biti v skladu z osnovno licenco oz. licencami.&lt;br /&gt;

Ko ponovno uporabite ali razširite besedilno stran, ki jo je razvila skupnost Wikimedia, se strinjate, da boste avtorje pripisali na kateri koli od naslednjih načinov:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;prek hiperpovezave (kjer je to mogoče) ali URL-ja na stran ali straneh, ki jih ponovno uporabite (ker ima vsaka stran zgodovino, ki navaja vse sodelujoče, avtorje in urednike);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prek hiperpovezave (kjer je to mogoče) ali URL-ja do alternativne, stabilne spletne kopije, ki je prosto dostopna, ki je v skladu z licenco in zagotavlja zasluge avtorjem na način, ki je enakovreden zaslugi, podani na spletni strani projekta; ali&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;S seznamom vseh avtorjev (vendar upoštevajte, da se lahko vsak seznam avtorjev filtrira, da se izključijo zelo majhni ali nepomembni prispevki).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Če je bila vsebina besedila uvožena iz drugega vira, je mogoče, da je vsebina licencirana na podlagi združljive licence CC BY-SA, ne pa GFDL (kot je opisano v zgornjem razdelku »Uvoz besedila«). V tem primeru se strinjate, da boste ravnali v skladu z združljivo licenco CC BY-SA in nimate možnosti, da bi jo ponovno licencirali v skladu z GFDL. Če želite določiti licenco, ki velja za vsebino, ki jo želite ponovno uporabiti ali distribuirati, si oglejte nogo strani, zgodovino strani in stran za razpravo.

Poleg tega se zavedajte, da je besedilo, ki izvira iz zunanjih virov in je bilo uvoženo v projekt, lahko pod licenco, ki pripisuje dodatne zahteve glede pripisovanja avtorstva. Uporabniki se strinjajo, da bodo te dodatne zahteve glede pripisovanja avtorstva jasno navedli. Odvisno od projekta se lahko te zahteve pojavijo na primer v pasici ali drugih zapisih, ki kažejo, da so bile nekatere ali vse vsebine prvotno objavljene drugje. Če obstajajo takšni vidni zapisi, jih morajo uporabniki ohraniti.

Za vse nebesedilne nosilce podatkov se strinjate, da boste ravnali v skladu z veljavno licenco, na podlagi katere je bilo delo dano na voljo (ki jo lahko odkrijete s klikom na prispevek in ogledom razdelka o licenci na strani z opisom ali pregledom ustrezne izvorne strani za ta prispevek). Pri ponovni uporabi vsebine, ki jo gostimo, se strinjate, da boste upoštevali ustrezne zahteve glede pripisovanja avtorstva, ki se nanašajo na osnovno licenco ali licence.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Spremembe ali dopolnitve gradiva za ponovno uporabo:''' Pri spreminjanju ali dodajanju besedila, ki ste ga pridobili s spletnega mesta projekta, se strinjate, da boste spremenjeno ali dodano vsebino licencirali v okviru CC BY-SA 4.0 ali novejšo različico (oz. kot je pojasnjeno zgoraj, drugo licenco, če to izjemoma zahteva posebna izdaja ali funkcija projekta).&lt;br /&gt;

Pri spreminjanju ali dodajanju kakršnih koli nebesedilnih medijev, ki ste jih pridobili s spletnega mesta projekta, se strinjate, da boste spremenjeno ali dodano vsebino licencirali v skladu z licenco, pod katero je bilo delo dano na voljo.&lt;br /&gt;

Z besedilno vsebino in nebesedilnimi mediji se strinjate, da jasno navedete, da je bilo izvirno delo spremenjeno. Če ponovno uporabljate besedilno vsebino v wikiju, zadostuje, da v zgodovini strani navedete, da ste spremenili uvoženo besedilo. Za vsako kopijo ali spremenjeno različico, ki jo distribuirate, se strinjate, da boste vključili obvestilo o licenci, v katerem je navedena licenca za delo, skupaj s hiperpovezavo ali URL-jem do besedila licence ali kopijo same licence.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation želi zagotoviti, da lahko vsebino, ki jo gostimo, ponovno uporabijo drugi uporabniki brez strahu pred odgovornostjo in da ne krši lastniških pravic drugih. V smislu pravičnosti do naših uporabnikov, pa tudi do drugih ustvarjalcev in imetnikov avtorskih pravic, je naša politika, da se odzovemo na obvestila o domnevnih kršitvah, ki so v skladu s formalnostmi zakona o avtorskih pravicah Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). V skladu z DMCA bomo v ustreznih okoliščinah onemogočili uporabnike in imetnike računov našega sistema in omrežja, ki so ponavljajoči kršitelji naših projektov in storitev.

Vendar pa se zavedamo tudi, da ni vsako obvestilo o odstranitvi veljavno ali podano v dobri veri. V takšnih primerih močno spodbujamo uporabnike, da vložijo ugovor, ko ustrezno menijo, da je zahteva po umiku DMCA neveljavna ali nepravilna. Če želite več informacij o tem, kaj storiti, če menite, da je bilo obvestilo DMCA nepravilno vloženo, si preberite spletno mesto [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Če ste lastnik vsebine, ki se nepravilno uporablja v enem od projektov brez vašega dovoljenja, lahko zahtevate, da se vsebina odstrani z vložitvijo zahtevka iz naslova DMCA. Če želite vložiti takšno zahtevo, nam pošljite e-pošto na {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} ali [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|pošljite dopis našemu imenovanemu zastopniku]].

Druga možnost je, da vložite zahtevo naši skupnosti, ki pogosto obravnava vprašanja avtorskih pravic hitreje in učinkoviteje kot po postopku, ki je predpisan v skladu z DMCA. V tem primeru lahko objavite obvestilo, ki pojasnjuje vaše pomisleke glede avtorskih pravic.

Sami ste odgovorni za vašo uporabo spletnih mest ali virov tretjih oseb. Čeprav projekti in projektna spletna mesta vsebujejo povezave do spletnih mest in virov tretjih oseb, ne podpiramo in nismo odgovorni za njihovo razpoložljivost, točnost ali povezano vsebino, izdelke ali storitve (kar brez omejitev vključuje viruse in druge funkcije za onemogočanje), prav tako nimamo nobene obveznosti za spremljanje takšnih vsebin tretjih oseb.

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Upravljanje spletnih strani ==

Skupnost ima glavno vlogo pri oblikovanju in izvrševanju politik, ki veljajo za različne izdaje projekta. V Wikimedia Foundation redko posegamo v odločitve skupnosti o pravilniku in njegovem izvrševanju.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
O nezakonitih vsebinah ali vsebinah, ki kršijo naše pogoje uporabe (vključno z vsemi pravilniki in drugimi dokumenti, vključenimi s sklicevanjem), nas lahko obvestite iz drugih razlogov, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|tako da stopite v stik z nami neposredno]]. Vendar pa lahko običajno pošljete zahtevo neposredno v skupnost projekta: to je lahko bolj učinkovito in je bolj skladno s ciljem naših projektov, da okrepimo skupnost uporabnikov.
&lt;/div&gt;


Vsak projekt bo običajno imel strani »Pomoč« ali »Stik« za nadaljnje smernice ali posebna orodja za poročanje o težavah. Če ste v dvomih, lahko člane skupnosti zaprosite za pomoč, tako da pošljete e-poštno sporočilo na {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} ali naslov, ki je bolj specifičen za jezik, na [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|strani ekipe prostovoljcev za odziv]]. Upoštevajte, da ta sporočila berejo uporabniki projektov, ne fundacija sama. Zato jim ne grozite in jim ne pošiljajte pravnih zahtevkov.

Če se s težavo obrnete na fundacijo, bomo običajno preiskali, na kakšen način lahko mehanizmi, ki jih vodijo skupnosti, odkrijejo in tudi odpravijo težavo, kjer je to ustrezno.

V neobičajnem primeru se lahko pojavi potreba ali pa nas skupnost lahko prosi, da se zaradi znatne motnje projekta ali nevarnega vedenja lotimo posebej problematičnega uporabnika ali še posebej problematične vsebine. V takšnih primerih si pridržujemo pravico, da po lastni presoji (ali kadar je to zakonsko potrebno):

* Preučimo vašo uporabo projektov ali naših storitev (a), da ugotovimo, ali je prišlo do kršitve teh Pogojev uporabe, Pravilnika izdaje projekta ali druge veljavne zakonodaje ali pravilnika, ali (b) z namenom skladnega ravnanja z veljavno zakonodajo, pravnim postopkom ali ustrezno zahtevo uradnega organa;
* Zaznamo, preprečimo ali se kako drugače lotimo goljufij, lažnih ali nepreverljivih informacij, varnosti ali tehničnih težav ali se odzovemo na zahteve za podporo uporabnikom;
* Zavrnemo, vrnemo, onemogočimo ali omejimo dostop do prispevkov katerega koli uporabnika, ki krši te Pogoje uporabe;
* Prepovemo uporabniku urejanje ali prispevanje oz. blokiramo uporabniški račun ali dostop do dejanj, če kršijo te pogoje uporabe, vključno s ponavljajočim se objavljanjem nezakonitega gradiva v skladu z veljavno zakonodajo v skladu z načeli človekovih pravic;
* Pravno ukrepamo proti uporabnikom, ki kršijo te pogoje uporabe (vključno s prijavami organom pregona); in
* Drugače upravljamo s projektnimi spletnimi mesti tako, da olajšamo njihovo pravilno delovanje in varujemo pravice, lastnino in varnost nas in naših uporabnikov, dajalcev licenc, partnerjev in javnosti.

Te dejavnosti moderiranja s strani fundacije lahko izvaja programska oprema (kot je zaščita pred poplavljanjem informacij (»napad z zavračanjem storitev«)). V teh primerih je običajno na voljo človeški pregled [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na zahtevo]].

Zaradi interesa naših uporabnikov in projektov, v skrajnih okoliščinah, ko se posamezniku blokira račun ali dostop v skladu s tem razdelkom, ne more ustvarjati ali uporabljati drugega računa ali zahtevati dostop do enakega projekta, razen če mu podelimo izrecno dovoljenje. Ne da bi omejili avtoriteto skupnosti, sama fundacija uporabniku ne bo onemogočila urejanje ali prispevanje oz. mu onemogočila uporabniški račun ali dostop zaradi kritike v dobri veri, ki ne povzroči dejanj, ki sicer kršijo te Pogoje uporabe ali pravilnike skupnosti.

Skupnost Wikimedia in njeni člani lahko ukrepajo tudi, če to dovoli skupnost ali pravilniki fundacije, ki veljajo za določeno izdajo projekta, kar vključuje in ni omejeno na opozarjanje, preiskovanje, blokiranje ali izključitev uporabnikov, ki kršijo te pravilnike. Strinjate se, da boste upoštevali končne odločitve organov za reševanje sporov, ki jih je skupnost ustanovila za določene izdaje projekta (kot so arbitražni odbori); te odločitve lahko vključujejo sankcije, kot jih določa pravilnik za določeno izdajo projekta.

Še posebej za problematične uporabnike, ki so imeli blokirane račune ali dostop v več izdajah projekta, lahko v skladu s [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Pravilnikom o globalni prepovedi]] veljajo prepovedi vseh izdaj projekta. V nasprotju s sklepi odbora ali temi Pogoji uporabe se lahko pravilniki skupnosti, ki se nanašajo na eno izdajo projekta ali več izdaj projekta (kot je Pravilnik o globalni prepovedi) spremenijo s strani zadevne skupnosti v skladu z lastnimi postopki.

Blokiranje računa ali dostopa ali prepoved uporabnika v skladu s to določbo je v skladu z razdelkom 13 teh Pogojev uporabe.

Če menite, da nismo zadovoljivo ravnali s prijavo problematičnega dejanja ali če ste bili predmet ukrepa moderiranja s strani fundacije, ki ga želite izpodbijati, lahko [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|vložite pritožbo]]. Druge informacije o načinih pritožbe vam lahko vsakič razložimo ali pa odgovor dobite na straneh za pomoč za posamezen projekt.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Pridržujemo si pravico, da začasno ali trajno prekinemo obravnavo prijav ali druge korespondence uporabnikov ali tretjih oseb o domnevno nezakoniti ali kako drugače problematični vsebini ali ravnanju ali zahtevamo pritožbe zoper moderiranje, če je bila takšna korespondenca izvedena v slabi veri, je ponavljajoča, neutemeljena in/ali žaljiva. V ustreznih okoliščinah je lahko vaš e-poštni naslov blokiran tudi v našem e-poštnem sistemu oz. sistemih, zato nas boste morali kontaktirati [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na naš poštni naslov]], če želite še naprej komunicirati z nami. V manj resnih primerih (npr. do treh vljudnih e-poštnih sporočil o eni ali več nekoristnih pritožbah) je to verjetno začasno. Pogostejša ali žaljiva komunikacija bo bolj verjetno privedla do trajnih ukrepov.

== 11. Resolucije in projektni pravilniki ==

Odbor skrbnikov Wikimedia Foundation občasno [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|objavi uradne pravilnike]]. Nekateri od teh pravilnikov so lahko obvezni za določen projekt ali izdajo projekta, v takšnem primeru se strinjate, da jih boste upoštevali, kot je ustrezno.

Na voljo imamo nabor API-jev, ki vključujejo dokumentacijo in povezana orodja, da uporabnikom omogočimo oblikovanje izdelkov, ki spodbujajo brezplačno znanje. Z uporabo naših API-jev se strinjate, da boste upoštevali vse veljavne pravilnike, ki urejajo uporabo API-jev, ki med drugim vključujejo [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Pravilnik za uporabnika-agenta]] , [[wikitech:Robot policy|Pravilnik o robotu]] in [[wikitech:Robot policy|Pravila obnašanja API]] (skupaj imenovano »dokumentacija API«), ki so s sklicem vključeni v te Pogoje uporabe.

== 13. Prenehanje ==

Čeprav upamo, da boste ostali in še naprej prispevali k projektom, lahko kadar koli prenehate uporabljati naše storitve. V določenih (upajmo, da malo verjetnih) okoliščinah bo morda potrebno, da bomo mi ali skupnost Wikimedia ali njeni člani (kot je opisano v razdelku 10) prekinili del ali vse naše storitve, prekinili te Pogoje uporabe, blokirali vaš račun ali dostop ali vas izključili kot uporabnika. Če je vaš račun ali dostop blokiran ali kako drugače ukinjen iz katerega koli razloga, bodo vaši javni prispevki in zapisi o vaših dejavnostih v projektu ali v zvezi s projekti (vključno s korespondenco, ki ste nam jo poslali) nespremenjeni (v skladu z veljavnimi pravilniki) in lahko še vedno dostopate do naših javnih strani izključno za namene branja javno dostopnih vsebin o projektih. V takih okoliščinah pa morda ne boste mogli dostopati do svojega računa ali nastavitev. Vendar si ne glede na katero koli drugo določbo v teh Pogojih uporabe pridržujemo pravico, da prekinemo ali ukinemo storitve kadar koli, z razlogom ali brez njega ter z obvestilom ali brez njega. Tudi potem, ko sta vaša uporaba in sodelovanje prepovedana, blokirana ali kako drugače prekinjena, bodo ti Pogoji uporabe ostali v veljavi v zvezi z ustreznimi določbami, vključno z razdelki 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 in 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Spori in pristojnost&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Poudarjeno zaradi poudarka''

Upamo, da ne pride do resnih nesoglasij v zvezi z vami, vendar vas v primeru spora spodbujamo, da poiščete rešitev s postopki ali mehanizmi za reševanje sporov, ki jih zagotavljajo projekti ali projektne izdaje in Wikimedia Foundation. Če želite vložiti pravni zahtevek zoper nas, se strinjate, da ga boste vložili in razrešili izključno na državnem ali zveznem sodišču v okrožju San Francisco v Kaliforniji. Prav tako se strinjate, da bodo zakoni zvezne države Kalifornije in, kolikor je to ustrezno, zakoni Združenih držav Amerike urejali te Pogoje uporabe in vse pravne zahtevke, ki bi lahko nastali med vami in nami (brez sklicevanja na načela kolizije zakonov). Strinjate se s pristojnostjo in lokacijo sodišč v okrožju San Francisco v Kaliforniji pri vsakem pravnem postopku ali postopku, ki se nanaša na nas ali te Pogoje uporabe.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Da bi zagotovili, da se spori obravnavajo kmalu po njihovem nastanku, se strinjate, da je ne glede na kateri koli predpis ali zakon, ki je v nasprotju z njim, vsak zahtevek ali razlog za tožbo, ki lahko izhaja iz uporabe naših storitev ali teh pogojev uporabe ali je povezan z njimi, potrebno vložiti v okviru veljavnega zakona o omejitvah ali, v primeru nastopa prej, eno (1) leto po tem, ko so bila ustrezna dejstva, na katerih temelji tak zahtevek ali vzrok tožbe, odkrita z razumno skrbnostjo (ali pa so za vedno prepovedana).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Kot je opisano v razdelku 4 teh pogojev uporabe, se strinjate, da boste po presoji fundacije rešili kršitve plačanih prispevkov brez razkritja v mediaciji marketinškega podjetja. Mediacija marketinškega podjetja so '''zavezujoče''' mediacije, pri katerih mediator ob koncu poldnevne ali celodnevne seje o vseh spornih predmetih, ki ostanejo nerešeni, odloči s pravno zavezujočo odločitvijo. Izvajajo se na sestankih preko telekonference ali videokonference. Če je potrebno osebno srečanje, mediacija v marketinškem podjetju poteka v okrožju San Francisco v Kaliforniji. Stranke bodo vse pristojbine in stroške, povezane z mediacijo/arbitražo, krile enako.

Strinjate se, da boste v okviru mediacije sodelovali s fundacijo, vključno s pravočasno predložitvijo vse dokumentacije v vaši posesti v zvezi z vašimi nerazkritimi plačanimi dejavnostmi urejanja, vključno z uporabljenimi računi, zadevnimi članki in strankami, ki so kupile te storitve.

Mediacije v marketinškem podjetju so podvržene zveznemu zakonu o arbitraži, do obsega, v katerem je mediator arbiter. Prevladujoča stranka ima pravico izterjati odvetniške honorarje (vključno z vsemi honorarji, ki so potrebni za določitev uporabnosti mediacije in za uveljavitev zavezujočega rezultata) in vse stroške, povezane s preiskavo in uveljavljanjem njenih pravic. Stranka se lahko šteje za »prevladujočo«, tudi če ni uspešna pri vsakem uveljavljanem zahtevku.

Če se iz nekega razloga ugotovi, da so vse te zahteve za mediacijo neizvršljive, se strinjate, da boste morebitne spore reševali, kot je opisano v začetku tega razdelka.

== 17. Spremembe teh Pogojev uporabe ==

Tako kot je prispevek skupnosti Wikimedia bistvenega pomena za rast in vzdrževanje projektov, menimo, da je prispevek skupnosti bistven za te Pogoje uporabe, da lahko ustrezno služijo našim uporabnikom. Prav tako je ključnega pomena za pošteno pogodbo. Zato bomo te Pogoje uporabe in morebitne bistvene prihodnje spremembe teh Pogojev uporabe posredovali skupnosti v obravnavo vsaj trideset (30) dni pred koncem obdobja za pripombe. Če bodo prihodnji predlagani popravki bistveni, bomo zagotovili dodatnih 30 dni za pripombe po objavi prevoda predlagane revizije v vsaj treh jezikih (izbrano po naši presoji). Skupnost bo spodbujala, da predlagane popravke ustrezno prevede v druge jezike. Zaradi sprememb iz pravnih ali upravnih razlogov, bomo pri popravku netočne izjave ali spremembi v odzivu na pripombe skupnosti, o tem obvestili vsaj tri (3) dni vnaprej.

Ker bo morda treba občasno spremeniti te Pogoje uporabe, bomo obvestila o teh spremembah in priložnosti za komentiranje objavili na projektnih spletnih mestih in na [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Vendar pa vas prosimo, da redno pregledujete najnovejšo različico teh Pogojev uporabe.

'''''Imagjino një botë në të cilën secila qenie njerëzore mund ta ndajë lirshëm shumën e të gjithë dijes. Ky është përkushtimi ynë.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Deklarata e Vizionit Tonë]]

Mirë se vini në Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (Fondacioni Wikimedia; &quot;ne&quot; ose &quot;neve&quot; ose &quot;Fondacioni&quot;), është një organizatë jofitimprurëse bamirëse, me seli në San Francisko, Kaliforni, SHBA [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|misioni i të cilit]] është që të fuqizojmë dhe të angazhojmë njerëzit anë e mbanë botës për të mbledhur dhe të zhvilluar përmbajtje [[{{lwp|Free content}}|nën një liçencë të lirë]] ose nën domenin publik, dhe ta shpërndajë në mënyrë efikase dhe globale, pa pagesë.

Për ta përkrahur komunitetin tonë të gjallë, ne ofrojmë infrastrukturën themelore dhe kornizën organizative për zhvillimin e projekteve shumëgjuhëshe wiki dhe varianteve të tyre (siç shpjegohet në faqen tonë të [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Projekteve të Wikimedia-s]]) (të referuar prej këtu e tutje si &quot;Projektet&quot;) dhe përpjekjet e tjera që i shërbejnë këtij misioni. Synojmë të bëjmë dhe të mbajmë përmbajtje edukative dhe informative nga Projektet të gatshme në internet pa pagesë, përgjithmonë.

Ne ju mirëpresim juve (&quot;ju&quot; ose &quot;përdoruesi&quot;) si lexues ose kontribues i Projekteve, dhe ju inkurajojmë t'i bashkoheni komunitetit të Wikimedia-s. Por, para se të merrni pjesë, ju lutemi t'i lexoni dhe të pranoni kushtet e mëposhtme të përdorimit (&quot;Kushtet e Përdorimit&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Këto Kushte të Përdorimit ju tregojnë për shërbimet tona publike në Fondacionin Wikimedia, marrëdhënien tonë me ju si përdorues, dhe të drejtat dhe përgjegjësitë që na çojnë të dy përpara. Ne strehojmë një sasi të pabesueshme të përmbajtjes edukative dhe informative, të gjitha të cilat kontribuohen dhe mundësohen nga përdoruesit si ju. Ne në përgjithësi nuk kontribuojmë, monitorojmë, apo fshijmë përmbajtje (me përjashtime të rralla, si nën politikat si këto Kushte të Përdorimit, për pajtim me ligjin, ose kur përballemi me kërcënime urgjente të dëmtimit të rëndë). Kjo nënkupton se kontrolli editorial është në duart e juaja dhe bashkëpërdoruesve të tjerë që krijojnë dhe menaxhojnë përmbajtjen.

Komuniteti – rrjeti i përdoruesve që vazhdimisht ndërtojnë dhe përdorin Projektet dhe/ose uebfaqet e tyre (prej këtu të quajtura &quot;Uebfaqet e Projekteve&quot;) – është mjeti themelor përmes së cilit arriten synimet e misionit tonë. Komuniteti kontribuon tek, dhe ndihmon t'i qeverisë Projektet dhe Uebfaqet e Projekteve tona. Komuniteti poashtu merr përsipër funksionin kritik të krijimit dhe zbatimit të rregullave për secilin edicion të projekteve (si për shembull edicionet e ndryshme gjuhësore për Projektin e Wikipedisë ose edicionin shumëgjuhësh të Wikimedia Commons).

Ju, përdoruesi, jeni të mirëseardhur të na bashkoheni si kontribues, redaktor, apo autor, por ju duhet t'i ndiqni rregullat që drejtojnë secilin prej edicioneve të pavarura të Projekteve, duke përfshirë [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Kodin Universal të Sjelljes]] (KUS), që i aplikohet të gjitha edicioneve të Projekteve. Secili edicion i Projekteve ka një ekipë të kontribuesve, redaktorëve apo autorëve që punojnë së bashku për të krijuar dhe menaxhuar përmbajtjen në atë edicion Projekti. Jeni të mirëseardhur t'i bashkangjiteni këtyre ekipeve dhe të punoni me ta për t'i përmirësuar këto Projekte. Meqë përkushtohemi për ta bërë përmbajtjen plotësisht të qasshme për publikun, përmbajtja që ju kontribuoni mundësohet nën një liçencë të lirë apo lëshohet nën domenin publik.

Ju lutemi të kuptoni se jeni përgjegjës ligjor për të gjitha kontributet, redaktimet, dhe ripërdorimet e juaja të përmbajtjes së Wikimedia sipas ligjeve të Shteteve të Bashkuara të Amerikës dhe ligjeve të tjera të zbatueshme (që mund të përfshijë ligjet aty ku apo subjekti i kontributit tuaj jeni). Kjo do të thotë se është e rëndësishme që të kesh kujdes kur postoni, tjetërsoni ose ripërdorni përmbajtje. Duke pasur parasysh këtë përgjegjësi, ne kemi disa rregulla për atë që nuk mund të bëni, shumica e të cilave janë ose për mbrojtjen tuaj ose për mbrojtje të përdoruesve të tjerë si ju. Ju lutemi ta keni parasysh se përmbajtja që ne mbajmë është vetëm për qëllime informative të përgjithshme, kështu që nëse keni nevojë për këshilla eksperte për një çështje të veçantë (si çështjet mjekësore, ligjore ose financiare), duhet të kërkoni ndihmën e një profesionisti të përshtatshëm. Ne gjithashtu përfshijmë njoftime dhe përjashtime të tjera të rëndësishme, prandaj ju lutemi lexoni këto Kushte të Përdorimit në tërësi.

Për qartësi, organizatat e tjera, siç janë [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|degë dhe shoqata lokale të Wikimedias]], që mund të ndajnë të njëjtin mision si ne, janë prapëseprapë ligjërisht të pavarura dhe të ndara nga Fondacioni Wikimedia. Përveç nëse konstatohet zyrtarisht nga Fondacioni si palë e autorizuar në një Uebfaqe të një Projekti të caktuar, këto organizata të tjera nuk mbajnë përgjegjësi mbi veprimtaritë e Uebfaqes së Projektit apo përmbajtjen e tij.

Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

''Highlighted for emphasis''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

'''''Замислите свет у коме сваки појединац може слободно да дели своје знање са другима. То је наша обавеза.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Наша визија]]

Добро дошли на Викимедију! Задужбина Викимедије (у даљем тексту „ми“, „нас“ или „Задужбина“) је непрофитна, добротворна организација [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|чија је мисија]] да промовише и инспирише људе широм света да сакупљају и развијају садржај [[{{lwp|Free content}}|под слободном лиценцом]] или предају у јавно власништво и шире глобано потпуно бесплатно.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Да би подржали нашу растућу заједницу Задужбина пружа неопходну инфраструктуру и организациони оквир за развој више језичних вики порјеката и њених едиција (објашњење [[wmf:Our projects|овде]]) и свих других потребних ствари за остварење ове мисије. Задужбина тежи да направи и одржи едукативни и информациони садржај са свих пројеката, буду доступни на интернету потпуно бесплатно заувек.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ови услови коришћења говоре вам  о нашим јавним функцијама у Задужбини Викимедије, нашим односима са вама као корисником, правима и обавезама које обавезује обе стране. Ми желимо да ви знате да хостујемо огромну количину  едукативног и информационог садржаја који су креирали корисници можда баш вама слични. Углавном ми недоприносимо, надгледамо или бришемо садржај (осим када дође до кршења [[w:en:Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]] закона). Ово значи да уређивачку контролу имате ви и други корисници који креирају и управљају садржајем. Ми само хостујемо садржај.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Наше услуге==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. Уздржавање од одрђених активности==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

:'''Опструкција и узнемиравање других'''

{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. Лиценцирање садржаја==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

Прихватате следеће услове лиценцирања:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Приписивање:''' Приписивање је важан део ових лиценци. Ми сматрамо да је важно навести аутора тамо где је то потребно - ауторима као што сте ви. Када доприносите неком тексту, слажете да се то вама припише на један од следећих начина:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Преко хиперлинка (где је то могуће) или URL-а до чланка коме сте допринели (пошто сваки чланак има своју историју која приказује све ауторе и уреднике);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==10. Управљање веб-страницама==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part.

The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

::* Posting or modifying content with the intention to seriously harm others, such as deliberate inducements to self-harm, or deliberate triggering of epilepsy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

::* Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 years, or under the age of majority where you are if higher than 18 years, for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.
&lt;/div&gt;

::* Posting or trafficking in obscene material that is unlawful under applicable law; and

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 17. Modifikasi kana Sarat Pamakéan ieu ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Sarat séjénna ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Våra användarvillkor&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Föreställ dig en värld där varje enskild människa fritt kan dela summan av all kunskap. Det är vårt åtagande.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Vår visionsförklaring]]

Välkommen till Wikimedia! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (“vi” eller “oss” eller “stiftelsen”) är en ideell välgörenhetsorganisation med huvudkontor i San Francisco, Kalifornien, USA, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|vars uppgift]] är att ge och engagera människor runt om i världen möjlighet att samla in och utveckla innehåll [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under en fri licens]] eller i det offentliga rummet, och att sprida det effektivt och globalt, utan kostnad.

För att stödja vår livliga gemenskap tillhandahåller vi den väsentliga infrastrukturen och organisatoriska ramen för utvecklingen av flerspråkiga wiki-projekt och deras utgåvor (som förklaras på vår [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects-sida]]) (härmed kallade “projekt”) och andra ansträngningar som tjänar detta uppdrag. Vi strävar efter att göra och hålla utbildnings- och informationsinnehåll från projekten tillgängligt på internet gratis, i all evighet.

Vi välkomnar dig (“du” eller “användaren”) som läsare eller bidragsgivare till projekten och vi uppmuntrar dig att gå med i Wikimedia-gemenskapen. Innan du deltar ber vi dig dock att läsa och godkänna följande användarvillkor (“användarvillkor”).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Dessa användarvillkor berättar om våra offentliga tjänster på Wikimedia Foundation, vår relation till dig som användare och de rättigheter och ansvar som styr oss båda. Vi är värd för en otrolig mängd utbildnings- och informationsinnehåll, som alla bidrar och möjliggörs av användare som du själv. I allmänhet bidrar vi inte med, övervakar eller tar bort innehåll (med sällsynta undantag, t.ex. enligt policyer som dessa användarvillkor, för juridisk efterlevnad eller när vi står inför akuta hot om allvarlig skada). Detta innebär att redaktionell kontroll ligger i händerna på dig och dina medanvändare som skapar och hanterar innehållet.

Gemenskapen - nätverket av användare som ständigt bygger och använder projekten och / eller deras webbplatser (nedan kallade “projektwebbplatser”) - är det huvudsakliga sättet genom vilket målen för uppdraget uppnås. Samhället bidrar till och hjälper till att styra våra projekt och projektwebbplatser. Samhället åtar sig också den kritiska funktionen att skapa och genomdriva policyer för de specifika projektutgåvorna (t.ex. de olika språkutgåvorna för Wikipedia-projektet eller Wikimedia Commons flerspråkiga utgåva).

Du, användaren, är välkommen att delta som bidragsgivare, redaktör eller författare, men du bör följa de policyer som styr var och en av de oberoende projektutgåvorna, inklusive den [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|universell uppförandekod]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), som gäller för alla projektutgåvor. Den största av våra projekt är Wikipedia, men vi är värd för andra projekt också, var och en med olika mål och arbetssätt. Varje projektutgåva har ett team av bidragsgivare, redaktörer eller författare som arbetar tillsammans för att skapa och hantera innehållet i den projektutgåvan. Du är välkommen att gå med i dessa team och arbeta med dem för att förbättra dessa projekt. Eftersom vi är dedikerade till att göra innehåll fritt tillgängligt för allmänheten görs innehåll som du bidrar med tillgängligt under en fri licens eller släpps i den offentliga domänen.

Var medveten om att du är juridiskt ansvarig för alla dina bidrag, redigeringar och återanvändning av Wikimedia-innehåll enligt lagarna i USA och andra tillämpliga lagar (vilket kan inkludera lagar där du eller föremålet för dina bidrag finns). Det betyder att det är viktigt att du är försiktig när du publicerar, ändrar eller återanvänder innehåll. Mot bakgrund av detta ansvar har vi några regler om vad du inte kan göra, varav de flesta är antingen för ditt eget skydd eller för skydd av andra användare som dig själv. Tänk på att innehållet vi är värd för endast är för allmänna informationsändamål, så om du behöver expertråd för en viss fråga (t.ex. medicinska, juridiska eller ekonomiska frågor) bör du söka hjälp av en lämplig professionell. Vi inkluderar även andra viktiga meddelanden och ansvarsfriskrivningar, så läs dessa användarvillkor i sin helhet.

För tydlighetens skull är andra organisationer, såsom [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|lokala Wikimedia-kapitel]] och föreningar, som kan delta i samma uppdrag ändå juridiskt oberoende och skilda från Wikimedia Foundation. Om inte annat anges av stiftelsen som auktoriserad part på ett visst projekts webbplats, har dessa andra organisationer inget ansvar för driften av projektets webbplats eller dess innehåll.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Våra tjänster ==

Wikimedia Foundation är dedikerade till att uppmuntra tillväxt, utveckling och distribution av gratis flerspråkigt innehåll och att vara värd för hela innehållet i dessa wikibaserade projekt för allmänheten utan kostnad. Vår roll är att vara värd för några av de största gemensamt redigerade referensprojekten i världen, [//www.wikimedia.org som finns här]. Vi agerar dock endast som en värdtjänstleverantör och upprätthåller infrastrukturen och organisationsramen. Denna infrastruktur och ramverk gör det möjligt för våra användare att bygga projekten genom att själva bidra med och redigera innehåll. De gör det också möjligt för våra användare att återanvända innehållet. Infrastrukturen vi upprätthåller inkluderar specialiserad teknisk infrastruktur som gör det möjligt för användare att programmatiskt interagera med och återanvända innehåll på projekt (kallat “Application Programming Interface” eller “API:er”) och mobila applikationer.

Som används i resten av användarvillkoren består våra tjänster av: [//www.wikimedia.org|De projektwebbplatser vi är värd för], teknisk infrastruktur som vi underhåller och alla tekniska utrymmen som vi är värd för, för underhåll och förbättring av våra projekt.

På grund av vår unika roll finns det några saker du bör vara medveten om när du överväger vår relation till dig, projekten och andra användare:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Vi har ingen redaktionell roll:''' Eftersom projekten redigeras gemensamt tillhandahålls den stora majoriteten av det innehåll som vi är värd för av användare, och vi tar inte en redaktionell roll. Detta innebär att vi i allmänhet inte övervakar eller redigerar innehållet på projektwebbplatserna och vi tar inget ansvar för detta innehåll. På samma sätt, såvida vi inte uttryckligen har angett något annat, stöder vi inte några åsikter som uttrycks via våra tjänster, och vi representerar eller garanterar inte sanningsenligheten, noggrannheten eller tillförlitligheten hos något inskickat gemenskapsinnehåll på projekten.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Du är ansvarig för dina egna handlingar:''' Du är juridiskt ansvarig för dina redigeringar och bidrag i projekten, din återanvändning av innehåll i projekten, din användning av API:erna och din användning av våra tjänster mer allmänt. För ditt eget skydd bör du vara försiktig och undvika att vidta åtgärder som kan leda till straffrättsligt eller civilrättsligt ansvar enligt gällande lagar. För tydlighetens skull omfattar tillämplig lag åtminstone lagarna i USA och delstaten Kalifornien. För andra länder bestäms detta från fall till fall. Även om vi kanske inte håller med om sådana åtgärder, varnar vi användare – särskilt redaktörer, bidragsgivare och författare – att myndigheter utanför USA kan försöka tillämpa andra nationella lagar på dig, inklusive lokala lagar där du bor eller där du ser eller redigerar innehåll. Vi kan i allmänhet inte erbjuda något skydd, garanti, immunitet eller gottgörelse mot tillämpningen av sådana lagar.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Integritetspolicy ==

Vi ber dig att granska [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|villkoren i vår integritetspolicy]] så att du är medveten om hur vi samlar in och använder dina uppgifter.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Innehåll som vi är värd för ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Du kan finna en del material stötande eller felaktiga:''' Eftersom vi är värd för ett brett utbud av innehåll som produceras eller samlas in av andra användare kan du stöta på material som du tycker är stötande, felaktigt, vilseledande, felmärkt eller på annat sätt stötande. Vi ber dig därför att använda sunt förnuft och korrekt omdöme när du använder våra tjänster.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Projektens innehåll är endast för allmänna informationsändamål:''' Även om våra projekt är värd för en hel del information som gäller professionella ämnen, inklusive medicinska, juridiska eller ekonomiska frågor, presenteras detta innehåll endast för allmänna informationsändamål. Det bör inte ses som professionell rådgivning. Sök oberoende professionell rådgivning från någon som är licensierad eller kvalificerad inom det tillämpliga området istället för att agera på någon information, åsikt eller råd som finns på någon av projektwebbplatserna.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Avstå från vissa aktiviteter ==

Projekten som drivs av Wikimedia Foundation existerar bara på grund av den livliga gemenskapen av användare som du som samarbetar för att skriva, redigera och kurera innehållet. Vi välkomnar ditt deltagande i denna gemenskap. Vi uppmuntrar dig att vara hövlig och artig i dina interaktioner med andra i samhället, att agera i god tro och att göra redigeringar och bidrag som syftar till att främja uppdraget för det delade projektet. Vi ber alla användare att granska och följa den [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|universell uppförandekod]] (“UCoC”), som anger krav för kollegialt, hövligt samarbete i alla projekt som vi är värd för.

Vissa aktiviteter, oavsett om de är lagliga eller olagliga enligt gällande lag, kan vara skadliga för andra användare och bryta mot våra regler, och vissa aktiviteter kan också utsätta dig för ansvar. Därför får du för ditt eget skydd och för andra användares, inte delta i sådana aktiviteter på eller på annat sätt använda våra projekt. Dessa aktiviteter omfattar:

:'''Trakasserier och missbruk av andra'''
::* Deltagande i hot, förföljelse, skräppost, vandalism eller trakasserier som beskrivs i UCoC.
::* Överföring av kedjebrev, skräppost eller skräppost till andra användare.
::* Publicering eller modifiering av innehåll med avsikt att allvarligt skada andra, såsom avsiktliga incitament till självskada eller avsiktlig utlösande av epilepsi.
:'''Bryta mot andras integritet'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Överträdelse av andras integritetsrättigheter enligt lagarna i USA eller andra tillämpliga lagar (som kan omfatta lagarna där du bor eller där du ser eller redigerar innehåll).
::* Begäran av personligt identifierbar information i syfte att trakassera, utnyttja eller kränka integriteten, eller för något marknadsförings- eller kommersiellt syfte som inte uttryckligen godkänts av Wikimedia Foundation.
::* Begäran av personligt identifierbar information från någon under 18 år, eller under myndighetsåldern där du är över 18 år, för ett olagligt ändamål eller som bryter mot någon tillämplig lag om minderårigas hälsa eller välbefinnande.
&lt;/div&gt;
: '''Deltagande i falska uttalanden, imitering eller bedrägeri'''
::* Avsiktlig eller medveten publicering av innehåll som utgör förtal eller förtal enligt lagarna i USA.
::* Publicering eller ändring av innehåll med avsikt att lura eller vilseleda andra.
::* AFörsök att utge sig för att vara en annan användare eller individ, förvränga din anknytning till någon individ eller enhet, dölja din anknytning till någon individ eller enhet när avslöjande krävs enligt dessa villkor eller lokal projektpolicy eller använda en annan persons namn eller användarnamn med avsikt att lura.
::* Deltagande i bedrägeri.
: '''Att begå intrång i immateriella rättigheter'''
::* Överträdelse av upphovsrätt, varumärken, patent eller andra äganderätter enligt tillämplig lag.
: '''Missbruk av våra tjänster för andra olagliga ändamål'''
::* Publicera barnpornografi eller annat innehåll som bryter mot tillämplig lag om barnpornografi eller material som innehåller sexuella övergrepp mot barn, eller uppmuntra, vårda eller förespråka för andra att skapa eller dela sådant material.
::* Publicering eller handel i obscent material som är olagligt enligt tillämplig lag.
::* Använda tjänsterna på ett sätt som inte överensstämmer med tillämplig lag.
: '''Att engagera sig i störande och olagligt missbruk av anläggningar'''
::* Publicera eller distribuera innehåll som innehåller virus, skadlig kod, maskar, trojanska hästar, skadlig kod eller annan enhet som kan skada vår tekniska infrastruktur eller system eller andra användares.
::* Ägna sig åt automatiserad användning av projektwebbplatser som är kränkande eller störande för tjänsterna, bryter mot acceptabla användningspolicyer där de är tillgängliga eller inte har godkänts av Wikimedia-gemenskapen.
::* Störa tjänsterna genom att lägga en otillbörlig börda på en API, projektwebbplats eller nätverk eller servrar som är anslutna till en viss projektwebbplats.
::* Störa tjänsterna genom att översvämma någon av projektwebbplatserna med kommunikation eller annan trafik som inte tyder på någon allvarlig avsikt att använda projektwebbplatsen för dess angivna ändamål.
::* Medvetet få åtkomst till, manipulera eller använda något av våra icke-offentliga områden i våra datorsystem utan tillstånd, och
::* Söka, skanna eller testa sårbarheten hos något av våra tekniska system eller nätverk såvida inte alla följande villkor är uppfyllda:
:::* sådana handlingar inte otillbörligen missbrukar eller stör våra tekniska system eller nätverk
:::* sådana åtgärder inte är för personlig vinning (förutom ära för ditt arbete)
:::* du anmäler eventuella sårbarheter till relevanta utvecklare (eller fixar det själv), och
:::* du inte vidtar sådana åtgärder med illvilliga eller destruktiva avsikter.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
: '''Betalda bidrag utan upplysning'''

::* Du måste avslöja varje arbetsgivare, kund, avsedd förmånstagare och anknytning med avseende på eventuella bidrag som du får eller förväntar dig att få ersättning för. Du måste göra detta avslöjande på minst ett av följande sätt:
:::* ett uttalande på din användarsida,
:::* ett uttalande på diskussionssidan som åtföljer eventuella betalda bidrag, eller
:::* ett uttalande i redigeringssammanfattningen som medföljer eventuella betalda bidrag.
::* Dessutom, om du gör ett offentligt inlägg av Projects annonsredigeringstjänster på Wikipedia i utbyte mot ersättning av något slag, måste du avslöja alla Wikipedia-konton som du har använt eller kommer att använda för denna tjänst i det offentliga inlägget på tredjepartstjänsten.
::* Tillämplig lag, eller projektspecifika policyer och stiftelsepolicyer och riktlinjer, såsom de som tar itu med intressekonflikter, kan ytterligare begränsa betalda bidrag eller kräva mer detaljerad information. Till exempel, att göra intrång i Wikimedias varumärken (definieras nedan i avsnitt 6) för att annonsera betalda redigeringstjänster, ta bort avslöjanden om tidigare tillräckligt avslöjade betalda redigeringar eller utloggad betald redigering på ett sätt som gör adekvat avslöjande till en praktisk omöjlighet som bryter mot detta avsnitt.
::* En Wikimedia Project-gemenskap kan anta en alternativ policy för offentliggörande av betalda bidrag som kan komplettera eller ersätta detta avsnitt. Om ett projekt antar en alternativ policy för offentliggörande kan du följa den policyn i stället för kraven i detta avsnitt (med rubriken “Betalda bidrag utan offentliggörande”) när du bidrar till det specifika projektet.

:: För mer information, läs vår [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ om utlämnande av betalda avgifter]].


Anonym redigering av användare som får ersättning skapar en orimlig börda för frivilliga redaktörer [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|som undersöker och upprätthåller community-policyer]]. Därför samtycker du till att, för överträdelser av detta avsnitt relaterade till icke anonym betald redigering, underkasta dig bindande “Med-Arb” (en “marknadsföringsföretagsmedling”) enligt beskrivningen i avsnitt 14 i dessa användarvillkor.

Vi förbehåller oss rätten att utöva vårt verkställighetsbestämmande med avseende på bestämmelserna i avsnitt 4 i dessa användarvillkor. Vid behov kan tillämpningen av dessa villkor omfatta åtgärder som inte anges i Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. Om verkställighet krävs under nya omständigheter kommer vi att anstränga oss inom högst ett (1) år för att uppdatera Office Action-policyn för att katalogisera den nya typen av åtgärd.

Du ansvarar för att skydda ditt eget lösenord och andra säkerhetsuppgifter och får aldrig avslöja dem för någon tredje part.

Även om du har betydande friheter att återanvända innehållet på projektwebbplatserna är det viktigt att vi på Wikimedia Foundation skyddar våra varumärkesrättigheter så att vi kan skydda våra användare från bedrägliga imitatörer. På grund av detta ber vi dig att respektera våra varumärken. Alla Wikimedia Foundations varumärken tillhör Wikimedia Foundation och all användning av våra handelsnamn, varumärken, servicemärken, logotyper eller domännamn måste ske i enlighet med dessa användarvillkor och i enlighet med vår [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|varumärkespolicy]].

För att öka den fria kunskapen och den fria kulturen måste alla användare som bidrar till projekten eller projektwebbplatserna ge allmänheten breda tillstånd att omfördela och återanvända sina bidrag fritt, så länge som användningen tillskrivs korrekt och samma frihet att återanvända och omfördela beviljas till eventuella härledda verk. I enlighet med vårt mål att tillhandahålla gratis information till bredast möjliga publik kräver vi att allt inskickat innehåll vid behov licensieras så att det kan återanvändas fritt av alla som kan komma åt det.

Du samtycker till följande licenskrav:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Text som du har upphovsrätt till:''' När du skickar in text som du innehar upphovsrätten till samtycker du till att licensiera den under:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}}|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), och
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (utan versionskontroll, utan oföränderliga avsnitt, texter på framsidan eller texter på baksidan).

Återanvändare kan följa antingen licens eller båda.&lt;br /&gt;
Det enda undantaget är om projektutgåvan eller funktionen kräver en annan licens. I så fall samtycker du till att licensiera all text som du bidrar med under den särskilda licens som föreskrivs i Project-utgåvan eller funktionen.

Observera att dessa licenser tillåter kommersiell användning av dina bidrag, så länge som sådan användning överensstämmer med villkoren i respektive licenser. Om du äger Sui Generis databasrättigheter som omfattas av CC BY-SA 4.0 avstår du från dessa rättigheter. Detta innebär till exempel att fakta som du bidrar med till projekten kan återanvändas fritt utan tillskrivning.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Tillskrivning:''' Tillskrivning är en viktig del av dessa licenser. Vi anser att det ger ära åt den som ära tillkommer - till författare som dig själv. När du bidrar med text samtycker du till att tillskrivas på något av följande sätt:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Genom hyperlänk (om möjligt) eller URL till artikeln som du bidragit till (eftersom varje artikel har en historiksida som listar alla bidragsgivare, författare och redaktörer).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Genom hyperlänk (om möjligt) eller URL till en alternativ, stabil onlinekopia som är fritt tillgänglig, som överensstämmer med den relevanta licensen och som ger ära till författarna på ett sätt som motsvarar äran som ges på projektwebbplatsen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Genom en lista över alla författare (men observera att alla listor över författare kan filtreras för att utesluta mycket små eller irrelevanta bidrag).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Importerar text:''' Du kan importera text som du har hittat någon annanstans eller som du har skrivit tillsammans med andra, men i sådana fall intygar och garanterar du att texten är tillgänglig enligt villkor som är kompatibla med CC BY-SA (eller, som förklaras ovan, en annan licens när det krävs i undantagsfall av Project-utgåvan eller funktionen). En lista över kopatibla licenser finns i [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. Du får inte importera innehåll som endast är tillgängligt enligt GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Du samtycker till att, om du importerar text under en CC-licens som kräver tillskrivning, måste du ära författaren(arna) på ett rimligt sätt. Om sådan ära vanligtvis ges genom sidhistorik (t.ex. Wikimedia-intern kopiering) är det tillräckligt att ge tillskrivning i redigeringssammanfattningen, som registreras i sidhistoriken, när du importerar texten. Tillskrivningskraven är ibland alltför påträngande för särskilda omständigheter (oavsett licens), och det kan finnas fall där Wikimedia-gemenskapen beslutar att importerad text inte kan användas av den anledningen.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Icke-textmedia:''' Icke-textmedia på projekten finns tillgängliga under en mängd olika licenser som stöder det allmänna målet att tillåta obegränsad återanvändning och omfördelning. När du bidrar med icke-textmedia samtycker du till att uppfylla kraven för sådana licenser som beskrivs i vår [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licenspolicy]] och även till kraven i den specifika Projektutgåvan eller funktionen som du bidrar till. Se även [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing-policyn]] för mer information om att bidra med icke-textmedia till Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ingen återkallelse av licens:''' Med undantag för vad som är förenligt med din licens samtycker du till att du inte ensidigt kommer att återkalla eller söka ogiltigförklara någon licens som du har beviljat enligt dessa användarvillkor för textinnehåll eller icke-textmedia som bidragit till projekten eller funktionerna, även om du avslutar användningen av våra tjänster.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Offentligt domäninnehåll:''' Innehåll som är offentligt är välkommet. Det är dock viktigt att du bekräftar innehållets offentliga status enligt lagen i USA samt lagarna i andra länder som krävs av den specifika Project-utgåvan. När du bidrar med innehåll som är offentligt garanterar du att materialet faktiskt är offentligt och du samtycker till att märka det på lämpligt sätt.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Återanvändning:''' Återanvändning av innehåll som vi är värd för är välkommen, även om det finns undantag för innehåll som bidrar med “rättvis användning” eller liknande undantag enligt tillämplig upphovsrättslag. All återanvändning måste överensstämma med underliggande licens(er).&lt;br /&gt;

När du återanvänder eller distribuerar en textsida som utvecklats av Wikimedia-gemenskapen samtycker du till att tillskriva författarna på något av följande sätt:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Genom hyperlänk (om möjligt) eller URL till sidan eller sidorna som du återanvänder (eftersom varje sida har en historiksida som listar alla bidragsgivare, författare och redaktörer).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Genom hyperlänk (om möjligt) eller URL till en alternativ, stabil onlinekopia som är fritt tillgänglig, som överensstämmer med licensen och som ger ära till författarna på ett sätt som motsvarar ära som ges på projektwebbplatsen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Genom en lista över alla författare (men observera att alla listor över författare kan filtreras för att utesluta mycket små eller irrelevanta bidrag).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Om textinnehållet importerats från en annan källa är det möjligt att innehållet är licensierat under en kompatibel CC BY-SA-licens men inte GFDL (enligt beskrivningen i “Importera text” ovan). I så fall samtycker du till att följa den kompatibla CC BY-SA-licensen och har inte möjlighet att återlicensiera den under GFDL. För att bestämma vilken licens som gäller för det innehåll som du försöker återanvända eller omfördela bör du granska sidfoten, sidhistoriken och diskussionssidan.

Observera dessutom att text som kommer från externa källor och importerats till ett projekt kan omfattas av en licens som kräver ytterligare tilldelningskrav. Användare samtycker till att tydligt ange dessa ytterligare tillskrivningskrav. Beroende på projektet kan sådana krav visas, till exempel i en banner eller andra noteringar som påpekar att en del eller allt innehåll ursprungligen publicerats någon annanstans. Om det finns sådana synliga noteringar bör återanvändare bevara dem.

För alla icke-textmedia samtycker du till att följa den tillämpliga licensen enligt vilken arbetet har gjorts tillgängligt (som kan upptäckas genom att klicka på arbetet och titta på licensavsnittet på dess beskrivningssida eller granska en tillämplig källsida för det arbetet). När du återanvänder något innehåll som vi är värd för samtycker du till att följa de relevanta tillskrivningskraven som de avser den underliggande licensen eller licenserna.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Ändringar eller tillägg till material som du återanvänder:''' När du ändrar eller gör tillägg till text som du har erhållit från en projektwebbplats samtycker du till att licensiera det ändrade eller tillagda innehållet enligt CC BY-SA 4.0 eller senare (eller, enligt vad som förklaras ovan, en annan licens när det undantagsvis krävs av den specifika projektutgåvan eller funktionen).&lt;br /&gt;

När du ändrar eller gör tillägg till media som inte är textmaterial som du har erhållit från en projektwebbplats samtycker du till att licensiera det ändrade eller tillagda innehållet i enlighet med vilken licens som helst under vilken arbetet har gjorts tillgängligt.&lt;br /&gt;

Med både textinnehåll och icke-textmedia samtycker du till att tydligt ange att originalverket har ändrats. Om du återanvänder textinnehåll i en wiki räcker det att i sidhistoriken ange att du har gjort en ändring i den importerade texten. För varje kopia eller modifierad version som du distribuerar samtycker du till att inkludera ett licensmeddelande som anger vilken licens verket släpps under, tillsammans med antingen en hyperlänk eller URL till licenstexten eller en kopia av själva licensen.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation vill säkerställa att innehållet som vi är värd för kan återanvändas av andra användare utan rädsla för ansvar och att det inte inkräktar på andras äganderätt. Till fördel för våra användare, liksom för andra skapare och upphovsrättsinnehavare, är vår policy att svara på meddelanden om påstådda intrång som överensstämmer med formaliteterna i Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). I enlighet med DMCA kommer vi under lämpliga omständigheter att säga upp användare och kontoinnehavare av vårt system och nätverk som gör upprepade intrång i våra projekt och tjänster.

Vi inser dock också att inte alla meddelanden om borttagning är giltiga eller i god tro. I sådana fall uppmuntrar vi starkt användare att lämna in motmeddelanden när de på lämpligt sätt anser att en DMCA-anmälan är ogiltig eller olämplig. För mer information om vad du ska göra om du tror att ett DMCA-meddelande har lämnats in felaktigt, kan du besöka webbplatsen för [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen-databasen].

Om du är ägare till innehåll som används felaktigt på ett av projekten utan ditt tillstånd kan du begära att innehållet tas bort genom att lämna in ett meddelande enligt DMCA. För att göra en sådan begäran, skicka ett e-postmeddelande till oss på {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} eller skicka [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snigelpost till vårt utsedda ombud]].

Alternativt kan du göra en begäran till vår gemenskap, som ofta hanterar upphovsrättsfrågor snabbare och effektivare än den process som föreskrivs i DMCA. I så fall kan du lägga upp ett meddelande som förklarar dina upphovsrättsproblem. För en icke-uttömmande och icke-auktoritativ lista över relevanta processer för de olika projektutgåvorna, [[:m:Copyright problems|besök sidan Upphovsrättsproblem]]. Innan du lämnar in ett DMCA-anspråk har du också möjlighet att skicka ett e-postmeddelande till gemenskapen på {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;span id=&quot;9._Third-party_Websites_and_Resources&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 9. Tredje parts webbplatser och resurser ==

Du är ensam ansvarig för din användning av tredje parts webbplatser eller resurser. Även om projekten och projektwebbplatserna innehåller länkar till tredje parts webbplatser och resurser, stöder vi inte och är inte ansvariga för deras tillgänglighet, riktighet eller relaterat innehåll, produkter eller tjänster (inklusive, utan begränsning, virus eller andra funktionsnedsättande funktioner), och vi har inte heller någon skyldighet att övervaka sådant innehåll från tredje part.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Hantering av webbplatser ==

Gemenskapen har den primära rollen för att skapa och genomdriva policyer som gäller för de olika projektutgåvorna. På Wikimedia Foundation ingriper vi sällan i samhällsbeslut om politik och dess verkställighet.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Det är möjligt att meddela oss om olagligt innehåll eller innehåll som bryter mot våra användarvillkor (inklusive alla policyer och andra dokument som införlivas genom hänvisning) av andra skäl [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|genom att kontakta oss direkt]]. Du kan dock vanligtvis göra en begäran direkt till projektets gemenskap: detta kan vara mer effektivt och är mer förenligt med våra projekts mål att stärka användargemenskapen.
&lt;/div&gt;


Varje projekt tillhandahåller vanligtvis “Hjälp”- eller “Kontakt”-sidor för ytterligare vägledning eller specifika verktyg för rapportering av problem. Alternativt – om du är osäker – kan du be medlemmar i communityn om hjälp genom att skicka ett e-postmeddelande till {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} eller en mer språkspecifik adress från [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|sidan Volontärsvarsteamet]]. Observera att dessa brevlådor övervakas av användare av projekten, inte av stiftelsen. Som ett resultat bör de inte hotas eller utfärdas med rättsliga krav.

Om du kontaktar stiftelsen med ett problem kommer vi vanligtvis att undersöka om och hur befintliga samhällsledda mekanismer kan undersöka och, där så är lämpligt, lösa det.

I ett ovanligt fall kan behovet uppstå, eller samhället kan be oss, att ta itu med en särskilt problematisk användare eller särskilt problematiskt innehåll på grund av betydande projektstörningar eller farligt beteende. I sådana fall förbehåller vi oss rätten att, efter eget gottfinnande (eller när det är juridiskt tvingat):

* Undersöka din användning av projekten eller våra tjänster (a) för att avgöra om en överträdelse av dessa användningsvillkor, projektutgåvans policy eller annan tillämplig lag eller policy har inträffat, eller (b) för att följa någon tillämplig lag, juridisk process eller en lämplig statlig begäran.
* Upptäcka, förhindra eller på annat sätt ta itu med bedrägeri, falsk eller okontrollerbar information, säkerhet eller tekniska problem eller svara på förfrågningar om användarsupport.
* Vägra, återställa, inaktivera eller begränsa åtkomst till bidrag från användare som bryter mot dessa användarvillkor.
* Förbjuda en användare att redigera eller bidra till eller blockera en användares konto eller åtkomst för åtgärder som bryter mot dessa användarvillkor, inklusive upprepad publicering av olagligt material enligt tillämplig lag i enlighet med principerna om mänskliga rättigheter.
* Vidta rättsliga åtgärder mot användare som bryter mot dessa användarvillkor (inklusive rapporter till brottsbekämpande myndigheter).
* I annat fall hantera projektwebbplatserna på ett sätt som är utformat för att underlätta deras korrekta funktion och skydda rättigheter, egendom och säkerhet för oss själva och våra användare, licensgivare, partners och allmänheten.

Dessa aktiviteter kan informeras eller utföras av programvara (t.ex. skydd mot trafiköversvämningar (“Denial of Service”)). I dessa fall är mänsklig granskning normalt tillgänglig, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|på begäran]].

I våra användares och projektens intresse är det, i den extrema omständigheten att en enskild person fått sitt konto eller sin åtkomst spärrad enligt detta avsnitt, förbjudet att skapa eller använda ett annat konto på eller söka åtkomst till samma projekt, om vi inte ger uttryckligt tillstånd. Utan att begränsa gemenskapens auktoritet kommer stiftelsen själv inte att förbjuda en användare från att redigera eller bidra till eller spärra en användares konto eller åtkomst enbart på grund av kritik i god tro som inte leder till åtgärder som på annat sätt bryter mot dessa användarvillkor eller gemenskapspolicyer.

Wikimedia-gemenskapen och dess medlemmar kan också vidta åtgärder när så tillåts enligt community- eller stiftelsepolicyer som är tillämpliga på den specifika projektutgåvan, inklusive men inte begränsat till varning, utredning, blockering eller förbud mot användare som bryter mot dessa policyer. Du samtycker till att följa de slutliga besluten från tvistlösningsorgan som inrättats av samhället för de specifika projektutgåvorna (t.ex. skiljenämnder). Dessa beslut kan omfatta sanktioner enligt policyn för den specifika projektutgåvan.

Särskilt problematiska användare som har haft konton eller åtkomst blockerad på flera projektutgåvor kan bli föremål för ett förbud från alla projektutgåvor, i enlighet med den [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|globala förbudspolicyn]]. I motsats till styrelsens beslut eller dessa användarvillkor kan policyer som fastställts av communityn, som kan omfatta en enda projektutgåva eller flera projektutgåvor (som den globala förbudspolicyn), ändras av den relevanta communityn enligt dess egna procedurer.

Blockering av ett konto eller åtkomst eller förbud av en användare enligt denna bestämmelse ska ske i enlighet med avsnitt 13 i dessa användarvillkor.

Om du anser att vi inte har agerat på ett tillfredsställande sätt inom ramen för en problematisk innehållsrapport, eller om du har utsatts för en modereringsåtgärd från stiftelsens sida som du vill utmana, kan du kanske lämna [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|in ett överklagande]]. Övrig information om överklagandevägar kan också förklaras för dig vid den tidpunkten, eller på projektspecifika hjälpsidor.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Vi förbehåller oss rätten att avbryta (tillfälligt eller permanent) vår hantering av rapporter eller annan korrespondens från användare eller tredje parter, oavsett om det gäller påstått olagligt eller på annat sätt problematiskt innehåll eller beteende, eller begära överklaganden mot modereringsåtgärder, om sådan korrespondens ägt rum i ond tro, är repetitiv, ogrundad och/eller innebär missbruk. Under lämpliga omständigheter kan din e-postadress till och med spärras i vårt/våra epostsystem, och du måste då kontakta oss [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|på vår postadress]] om du vill ytterligare kommunicera med oss under det blocket. För mindre allvarliga fall (t.ex. upp till tre artiga e-postmeddelanden om ett eller flera ogrundade klagomål) är detta sannolikt tillfälligt. Mer frekventa eller mer otillåtna kommunikationer är mer benägna att leda till permanenta åtgärder.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 11. Resolutioner och projektpolicyer ==

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|släpper officiella policyer]] från tid till annan. Vissa av dessa policyer kan vara obligatoriska för ett visst projekt eller en viss projektutgåva, och när de är det samtycker du till att följa dem enligt vad som är tillämpligt.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. API-villkor ==

Vi tillhandahåller en uppsättning API:er, som inkluderar dokumentation och tillhörande verktyg, för att göra det möjligt för användare att bygga produkter som främjar fri kunskap. Genom att använda våra API:er samtycker du till att följa alla tillämpliga policyer som styr användningen av API:erna, vilka inkluderar men inte är begränsade till [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Användarombudspolicyn]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robotpolicyn]] och [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (gemensamt “API-dokumentation”), som införlivas i dessa användningsvillkor genom hänvisning.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Uppsägning ==

Även om vi hoppas att du kommer att stanna kvar och fortsätta att bidra till projekten kan du när som helst sluta använda våra tjänster. Under vissa (förhoppningsvis osannolika) omständigheter kan det vara nödvändigt för antingen oss själva eller Wikimedia-gemenskapen eller dess medlemmar (som beskrivs i avsnitt 10) att säga upp en del av eller alla våra tjänster, säga upp dessa användarvillkor, spärra ditt konto eller åtkomst eller förbjuda dig som användare. Om ditt konto eller din åtkomst spärras eller på annat sätt sägs upp av någon anledning kommer dina offentliga bidrag och en redogörelse för dina aktiviteter på eller i samband med projekten (inklusive eventuell korrespondens du har skickat till oss) att vara opåverkade (med förbehåll för tillämpliga policyer), och du kan fortfarande komma åt våra offentliga sidor endast i syfte att läsa offentligt tillgängligt innehåll på projekten. Under sådana omständigheter kanske du inte kan komma åt ditt konto eller dina inställningar. Oavsett andra bestämmelser i dessa användarvillkor förbehåller vi oss dock rätten att stänga av eller avsluta tjänsterna när som helst, med eller utan orsak och med eller utan förvarning. Även efter det att din användning och ditt deltagande har förbjudits, blockerats eller på annat sätt upphävts kommer dessa användarvillkor att fortsätta att gälla med avseende på relevanta bestämmelser, inklusive avsnitt 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16 och 18.

== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Tvister och jurisdiktion&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Markerad för betoning''

Vi hoppas att inga allvarliga meningsskiljaktigheter uppstår som involverar dig, men i händelse av en tvist uppmuntrar vi dig att söka lösning genom de tvistlösningsförfaranden eller mekanismer som tillhandahålls av projekten eller projektutgåvorna och Wikimedia Foundation. Om du försöker lämna in ett rättsligt anspråk mot oss samtycker du till att lämna in och lösa det uteslutande i en statlig eller federal domstol i San Francisco County, Kalifornien. Du samtycker också till att lagarna i delstaten Kalifornien och, i den utsträckning det är tillämpligt, lagarna i USA kommer att styra dessa användarvillkor, liksom alla rättsliga anspråk som kan uppstå mellan dig och oss (utan hänvisning till lagvalsprinciper). Du samtycker till att underkasta dig den personliga jurisdiktionen för, och samtycker till att platsen är korrekt i, domstolarna i San Francisco County, Kalifornien, i alla rättsliga åtgärder eller förfaranden som rör oss eller dessa användarvillkor.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
För att säkerställa att tvister hanteras strax efter att de uppstår, samtycker du till att oavsett eventuella lagar eller lagar som anger motsatsen, alla anspråk eller orsaker till talan som kan ha uppstått på grund av eller i samband med användning av våra tjänster eller dessa användarvillkor måste lämnas in inom gällande preskriptionstid eller, om tidigare, ett (1) år efter att relevanta fakta som ligger till grund för sådana anspråk eller orsaker till talan kunde ha upptäckts med rimlig noggrannhet (eller för alltid förbjudas).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Som beskrivs i avsnitt 4 i dessa användarvillkor samtycker du till att lösa överträdelser av de betalda bidragen utan att avslöja något i ett marknadsföringsföretags medling efter stiftelsens gottfinnande. Marknadsföringsföretagsmedlingar är '''bindande''' medlingar där, i slutet av antingen en halv- eller heldagssession, alla omtvistade föremål som förblir olösta kommer att avgöras av medlaren i ett juridiskt bindande beslut. De kommer att genomföras på möten via telefonkonferens eller videokonferens. Om ett personligt möte krävs kommer marknadsföringsföretagsmedling att äga rum i San Francisco County, Kalifornien. Parterna kommer att dela upp alla avgifter och utgifter relaterade till medlingen/skiljeförfarandet lika.

Du samtycker, som en del av ett marknadsföringsföretags medling, till att samarbeta med stiftelsen, inklusive genom att i god tid tillhandahålla all dokumentation som du har i din ägo avseende dina icke anonyma betalda redigeringsaktiviteter, inklusive de konton som används, artiklar som påverkas och kunder som köpt sådana tjänster.

Marknadsföringsföretagsmedlare är föremål för och styrs av Federal Arbitration Act i den utsträckning som medlaren blir skiljedomare. Den vinnande parten ska ha rätt att få tillbaka sina advokatarvoden (inklusive alla avgifter som är nödvändiga för att fastställa tillämpligheten av marknadsföringsföretagets medling och för att genomdriva det bindande resultatet) och alla kostnader i samband med utredningen och verkställandet av dess rättigheter. En part kan anses vara “vinnande” även om den inte lyckas med varje anspråk som anförts.

Om det av någon anledning visar sig att alla dessa medlingskrav för marknadsföringsföretag inte kan verkställas, samtycker du till att lösa eventuella tvister enligt beskrivningen i början av detta avsnitt.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Wikimedia Foundation kommer inte att vara ansvarig gentemot dig eller någon annan part för några direkta, indirekta, tillfälliga, särskilda, följdskador eller straffliknande skador, inklusive men inte begränsat till skador för förlust av vinst, goodwill, användning, data eller andra immateriella förluster, oavsett om vi informerats om risken för sådan skada. Under inga omständigheter ska vårt ansvar överstiga ett tusen amerikanska dollar (1 000,00 USD) sammanlagt. Om tillämplig lag inte tillåter begränsning eller uteslutning av ansvar eller oförutsedda skador eller följdskador, kanske ovanstående begränsning eller uteslutning inte gäller dig, även om vårt ansvar kommer att begränsas i den utsträckning som tillåts enligt tillämplig lag.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Ändringar av dessa användarvillkor ==

Precis som Wikimedia-gemenskapens input är avgörande för tillväxten och underhållet av projekten, anser vi att input från gemenskapen är avgörande för att dessa användarvillkor ska kunna tjäna våra användare på rätt sätt. Det är också viktigt för ett rättvist avtal. Därför kommer vi att tillhandahålla dessa användarvillkor, liksom alla väsentliga framtida revideringar av dessa användarvillkor, till gemenskapen för kommentarer minst trettio (30) dagar före slutet av perioden för lämnande av kommentarer. Om en framtida föreslagen revision är väsentlig kommer vi att tillhandahålla ytterligare 30 dagar för kommentarer efter att ha publicerat en översättning av den föreslagna revisionen på minst tre språk (valt efter eget gottfinnande). Gemenskapen kommer att uppmuntras att översätta den föreslagna översynen till andra språk efter behov. För ändringar av juridiska eller administrativa skäl, för att korrigera ett felaktigt uttalande eller ändringar som svar på kommentarer från gemenskapen kommer vi att ge minst tre (3) dagars varsel.

Eftersom det kan vara nödvändigt att ändra dessa användarvillkor från tid till annan kommer vi att meddela om sådana ändringar och möjligheten att kommentera via projektets webbplatser och via ett meddelande på [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Vi ber dig dock att regelbundet granska den senaste versionen av dessa användarvillkor. Din fortsatta användning av våra tjänster efter att de nya användarvillkoren blivit officiella efter meddelande- och granskningsperioden utgör ett godkännande av dessa användarvillkor från din sida. För att skydda Wikimedia Foundation och andra användare som du själv, om du inte godkänner våra användarvillkor, kan du inte använda våra tjänster.

&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Andra villkor ==

Dessa användarvillkor skapar inte en anställnings-, agentur-, partnerskaps-, gemensam kontroll- eller joint venture-relation mellan dig och oss, Wikimedia Foundation. I enlighet med lagstiftningen i Europeiska ekonomiska samarbetsområdet, Storbritanniens lag eller andra lagar som involverar ett liknande koncept agerar du inte “under överinseende av” stiftelsen när du använder tjänsterna. Om du inte har undertecknat ett separat avtal med oss utgör dessa användarvillkor hela avtalet mellan dig och oss. Om det finns någon konflikt mellan dessa användarvillkor och ett undertecknat skriftligt avtal mellan dig och oss, kommer det undertecknade avtalet att gälla.

Du samtycker till att vi kan förse dig med meddelanden, inklusive meddelanden om ändringar i användarvillkoren, via e-post, vanlig post eller inlägg på projekten eller projektwebbplatserna.

Om vi under några omständigheter inte tillämpar eller upprätthåller någon bestämmelse i dessa användarvillkor är det inte ett avstående från den bestämmelsen.

Du förstår att du, om inte annat skriftligen överenskommits av oss, inte har några förväntningar på ersättning för någon aktivitet, bidrag eller idé som du tillhandahåller oss, samhället eller projekt- eller projektutgåvorna.

Oaktat eventuella bestämmelser om motsatsen i dessa användarvillkor samtycker vi (Wikimedia Foundation) och du till att inte ändra tillämpliga villkor och krav för någon fri licens som används på projekten eller projektutgåvorna när sådan fri licens är godkänd av dessa användarvillkor.

Dessa användarvillkor är skrivna på engelska (USA). Även om vi hoppas att översättningar av dessa användarvillkor är korrekta, har den ursprungliga engelska versionen företräde i händelse av meningsskiljaktigheter mellan den ursprungliga engelska versionen och en översättning.

Om någon bestämmelse eller del av en bestämmelse i dessa användningsvillkor befinns vara olaglig, ogiltig eller ogenomförbar, anses den bestämmelsen eller del av bestämmelsen vara avskiljbar från dessa användningsvillkor och kommer att verkställas i den utsträckning det är tillåtet, och alla andra bestämmelser i dessa användningsvillkor kommer att förbli i full kraft och verkan.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Tack!==

Vi uppskattar att du tar dig tid att läsa dessa användarvillkor, och vi är mycket glada över att du bidrar till projekten och använder våra tjänster. Genom dina bidrag hjälper du till att bygga något riktigt stort - inte bara en viktig samling samarbetsredigerade referensprojekt som ger utbildning och information till miljoner som annars kanske saknar tillgång, men också en levande gemenskap av likasinnade och engagerade kamrater, fokuserade på ett mycket ädelt mål.

For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  எமது சேவைகள்==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. ரகசிய காப்பு கொள்கை==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

==10. வலைத்தளங்களின் மேலாண்மை==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

ప్రాజెక్ట్‌ల పెరుగుదల మరియు నిర్వహణకు వికీమీడియా కమ్యూనిటీ యొక్క ఇన్‌పుట్ ఎంత అవసరమో, మా వినియోగదారులకు సరిగ్గా అందించడానికి ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలకు కమ్యూనిటీ ఇన్‌పుట్ అవసరమని మేము విశ్వసిస్తున్నాము. న్యాయమైన ఒప్పందానికి కూడా ఇది అవసరం. కావున, మేము ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలను అలాగే ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనల యొక్క ఏవైనా మెటీరియల్ భవిష్యత్ పునర్విమర్శలను వ్యాఖ్య వ్యవధి ముగియడానికి కనీసం ముప్పై (30) రోజుల ముందు వ్యాఖ్య కోసం కమ్యూనిటీకి అందుబాటులో ఉంచుతాము. ప్రతిపాదిత సవరణ భవిష్యత్తులో గణనీయమైనదైతే, మేము ప్రతిపాదిత సవరణ యొక్క అనువాదాన్ని కనీసం మూడు భాషలలో (మా అభీష్టానుసారం ఎంచుకున్నది) పోస్ట్ చేసిన తర్వాత వ్యాఖ్యల కోసం అదనంగా 30 రోజులు అనుమతిస్తాము. ప్రతిపాదిత సవరణను తగిన విధంగా ఇతర భాషల్లోకి అనువదించడానికి సంఘం ప్రోత్సహించబడుతుంది. చట్టపరమైన లేదా పరిపాలనా కారణాల కోసం మార్పులు, తప్పు ప్రకటనను సరిచేయడానికి లేదా సంఘం వ్యాఖ్యలకు ప్రతిస్పందనలో మార్పుల కోసం, మేము కనీసం మూడు (3) రోజుల నోటీసును అందిస్తాము.

కాలానుగుణంగా ఈ వినియోగ నిబంధనలను సవరించాల్సిన అవసరం ఉన్నందున, మేము అటువంటి మార్పుల నోటీసును అందిస్తాము మరియు ప్రాజెక్ట్ వెబ్‌సైట్‌ల ద్వారా మరియు [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]] నోటిఫికేషన్ ద్వారా వ్యాఖ్యానించే అవకాశాన్ని అందిస్తాము. అయితే, ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనల యొక్క అత్యంత ప్రస్తుత సంస్కరణను క్రమానుగతంగా సమీక్షించమని మేము మిమ్మల్ని అడుగుతున్నాము. కొత్త ఉపయోగ నిబంధనల తర్వాత మా సేవలను మీరు కొనసాగించడం వలన నోటీసు మరియు సమీక్ష వ్యవధి తర్వాత అధికారికంగా మారడం ద్వారా ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలకు మీరు ఆమోదం తెలిపారు. వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్ మరియు మీలాంటి ఇతర వినియోగదారులను రక్షించడానికి, మీరు మా ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలను అంగీకరించకపోతే, మీరు మా సేవలను ఉపయోగించలేరు.

మేము మీకు ఇమెయిల్, సాధారణ మెయిల్ లేదా ప్రాజెక్ట్‌లు లేదా ప్రాజెక్ట్ వెబ్‌సైట్‌లలో పోస్టింగ్‌ల ద్వారా ఉపయోగ నిబంధనల మార్పుల నోటీసులను అందించవచ్చని మీరు అంగీకరిస్తున్నారు.

ఏ సందర్భంలోనైనా, ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనల యొక్క ఏదైనా నిబంధనను వర్తింపజేయడంలో లేదా అమలు చేయడంలో మా వైఫల్యం ఆ నిబంధన యొక్క మినహాయింపుగా పరిగణించబడదు.

ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలలో విరుద్ధంగా ఏదైనా నిబంధన ఉన్నప్పటికీ, అటువంటి ఉచిత లైసెన్స్ ఈ వినియోగ నిబంధనల ద్వారా అధీకృతం చేయబడినప్పుడు ప్రాజెక్టులు లేదా ప్రాజెక్ట్ ఎడిషన్లలో ఉపయోగించే ఏదైనా ఉచిత లైసెన్స్ యొక్క వర్తించే నిబంధనలు మరియు ఆవశ్యకతలను సవరించకూడదని మేము (వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్) మరియు మీరు అంగీకరిస్తున్నాము.

ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలు ఆంగ్లంలో (US) వ్రాయబడ్డాయి. ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనల యొక్క అనువాదాలు ఖచ్చితమైనవిగా ఉండాలని మేము ఆశించినప్పటికీ, అసలు ఆంగ్ల సంస్కరణ మరియు అనువాదం మధ్య అర్థంలో ఏవైనా తేడాలు ఉంటే, అసలు ఆంగ్ల సంస్కరణకు ప్రాధాన్యత ఉంటుంది.

ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలలో ఏదైనా నిబంధన లేదా భాగం చట్టవిరుద్ధంగా, చెల్లనిది లేదా అమలు చేయలేనిదిగా పరిగణించబడితే, ఆ నిబంధన లేదా నిబంధనలో కొంత భాగం ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనల నుండి విడదీయదగినదిగా పరిగణించబడుతుంది మరియు గరిష్టంగా అనుమతించబడినంత వరకు అమలు చేయబడుతుంది మరియు అన్ని ఇతర నిబంధనలు ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలు పూర్తి శక్తి మరియు ప్రభావంతో ఉంటాయి.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ధన్యవాదాలు! ==

మీరు ఈ ఉపయోగ నిబంధనలను చదవడానికి సమయాన్ని వెచ్చిస్తున్నందుకు మేము అభినందిస్తున్నాము మరియు మీరు ప్రాజెక్ట్‌లకు సహకరించినందుకు మరియు మా సేవలను ఉపయోగించుకున్నందుకు మేము సంతోషిస్తున్నాము. మీ సహకారాల ద్వారా, మీరు నిజంగా పెద్దదాన్ని నిర్మించడంలో సహాయం చేస్తున్నారు—మిలియన్ల మంది నిరుపేదలకు విద్య మరియు సమాచారాన్ని అందించే సహకారంతో ఎడిట్ చేయబడిన సూచన ప్రాజెక్ట్‌ల యొక్క ముఖ్యమైన సేకరణ మాత్రమే కాదు, అదే విధంగా ఆలోచించే మరియు నిమగ్నమైన సహచరుల యొక్క శక్తివంతమైన సంఘం కూడా చాలా గొప్ప కారణం.

'''''Ба худ дунёеро тасаввур кунед, ки дар он ҳар як шахс метавонад бо ҳама илмро тақсим кунад. Ин вазифаи мост.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Биноиши мо]]

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ба Викимедиа хуш омадӣ!  Ширкати Фонди Викимедиа (“мо” ё “моро”), ин ширкати ғайритиҷоратӣ аст, ки [[:wmf:Mission statement|вазифааш]] ҷамъ ва муттаҳидкунии одамон барои эҷод ва паҳни маълумот зери шиори [[w:en:Free content|иҷозатномаи озод]] дар саросари ҷаҳон мебошад.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;Ang Aming Kasunduan sa Paggamit&lt;/span&gt;

'''''Isipin ang isang mundo kung saan malayang maibabahagi ng bawat tao ang lahat ng kaalaman. Yon ang aming layunin.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Ang Aming Bisyon]]

Maligayang pagdating sa Wikimedia! Ang Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;kami&quot;, &quot;amin&quot;, &quot;namin&quot;, o &quot;Foundation&quot;), ay isang organisasyong pang-charity na non-profit (hindi para sa kita), na nakabase sa San Francisco, California, Estados Unidos, at [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|may misyong]] magpalakas at makipag-ugnayan sa mga tao sa iba't-ibang panig ng mundo upang kolektahin at magdebelop ng mga nilalaman [[w:en:Free content|sa ilalim ng isang malayang lisensiya]] o nakapampublikong domain, at ipakalat ito nang maayos at sa buong mundo, nang walang bayad.

Para masuportahan ang aming makulay na komunidad, nilatag namin ang mga kinakailangang imprastruktura at framework ng organisasyon para sa pagdebelop ng mga proyektong pang-wiki sa iba't-ibang wika at ang mga edisyon nila (ipinaliwanag sa [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|pahina ng mga Proyekto ng Wikimedia]] namin) (mula ngayon ay tatawagin na'ng &quot;Mga Proyekto&quot;) at iba pang mga pagsisikap na sang-ayon sa misyon na ito. Layon namin na gumawa at panatilihing available ang mga nilalamang pang-edukasyon at impormasyon mula sa Mga Proyekto sa internet nang walang bayad, magpakailanman.

Tinatanggap namin ikaw (&quot;ikaw&quot;, &quot;ka&quot;, &quot;mo&quot;, &quot;sa'yo&quot;, o &quot;user&quot;) bilang mambabasa, o nag-aambag sa Mga Proyekto, at inaanyayahan namin ikaw na sumali sa komunidad ng Wikimedia. Gayunpaman, bago ka sumali, humihiling kaming basahin mo at sumang-ayon sa sumusunod na Kasunduan sa Paggamit (&quot;Kasunduan sa Paggamit&quot;).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Inilalahad sa'yo ng Kasunduan sa Paggamit na ito ang aming mga pampublikong serbisyo sa Wikimedia Foundation, ang aming relasyon sa'yo bilang user, at ang mga karapatan at tungkulin na pareho nating gabay. Meron kaming kamangha-manghang dami ng mga nilalamang pang-edukasyon at impormasyon, lahat ay inambag at ginawang posible ng mga user kagaya mo. Sa pangkalahatan, hindi kami nag-aambag, nagmomonitor, o nagbubura ng mga nilalaman (liban sa mga bihirang pangyayari, tulad halimbawa sa ilalim ng mga patakaran kagaya nitong Kasunduan sa Paggamit, para sa legal na dahilan, o kapag may kinahaharap na banta na seryoso at nangangailangan ng agarang aksyon). Ibig sabihin, ang kontrol sa editoryal ay nasa kamay mo at ng mga kapwa mong user na gumagawa at namamahala sa nilalaman.

Ang komunidad - ang network ng mga user na tuloy-tuloy na nagpapalaki at gumagamit sa Mga Proyekto at/o sa mga website nito (mula ngayon ay tatawagin na'ng &quot;Mga Website ng Proyekto&quot;) - ay ang pangunahing paraan kung saan maisasakatuparan ang mga layunin ng misyon. Nag-aambag ang komunidad at tumutulong sa pamamahala sa aming Mga Proyekto at Mga Website ng Proyekto. Kritikal ding ang gampanin ng komunidad sa paggawa at pagtupad sa mga patakaran ng bawat edisyon ng Proyekto (tulad halimbawa ng mga edisyon sa iba't-ibang wika para sa Proyektong Wikipedia o sa edisyon ng Wikimedia Commons sa iba't-ibang wika).

Malaya ka, ang user, na sumali bilang nag-aambag, editor, o may-akda, pero dapat mong sundin ang mga patakaran ng bawat isang malalayang edisyon ng Proyekto, kabilang na ang [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Pangkalahatang Kodigo sa Pagkilos]] (''Universal Code of Conduct'', UCoC), na para sa lahat ng mga edisyon ng Proyekto. Pinakamalaki sa mga Proyekto namin ang Wikipedia, pero nagho-host din kami ng iba pag mga Proyekto, bawat isa ay may iba't-ibang layunin at kaparaanan. Ang bawat Proyekto ay may kanya-kanyang mga grupo ng mga nag-aambag, editor, o may-akda na sama-samang nagtatrabaho para gumawa at pamahalaan ang nilalaman sa kani-kanilang edisyon ng Proyekto. Malaya kang sumali sa mga grupong ito at tumulong sa kanila sa pagpapahusay sa mga Proyekto na ito. Dahil gusto naming maa-access ng sinuman sa publiko ang nilalaman, ang bawat ambag mo sa nilalaman ay ilalabas sa ilalim ng isang malayang lisensiya o sa pampublikong domain.

Mangyaring malaman mo na responsable ka sa ilalim ng batas para sa lahat ng mga ambag mo, edit, at paggamit muli sa nilalaman ng Wikimedia sa ilalim ng mga batas ng Estados Unidos ng Amerika at iba pang mga malalapat na batas (kabilang na ang mga batas ng kung saan nakatira ikaw o ng pinapatungkulan ng mga ambag mo). Kaya naman, mahalaga ang mag-ingat sa mga ipo-post mo, babaguhin, o gagamiting muli na nilalaman. Patungkol sa responsibilidad na ito, may ilan kaming mga tuntunin tungkol sa kung anong bawal mong gawin, karamihan sa mga ito ay para sa iyong proteksyon o para sa proteksyon ng iba pang mga user kagaya mo. Itanim sa isip palagi na ang nilalaman na hino-host namin ay para lang sa pangkalahatang impormasyon, kaya naman kung sakaling nangangailangan ka ng eksperto payo patungkol sa isang partikular na katanungan (tulad halimbawa ng mga isyung medikal, legal, o pampinansyal), humingi ka dapat ng tulong mula sa isang naaangkop na propesyonal. Sinama rin namin ang iba pang mga mahahalagang abiso at pagtatanggi (''disclaimer''), kaya naman pinapayuhan ka namin na basahin ang kabuuan ng Kasunduan sa Paggamit na ito.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Para malinaw, legal na malaya at hiwalay mula sa Wikimedia Foundation ang iba pang mga organisasyon, tulad ng [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|mga lokal na chapter ng Wikimedia]] at asosasyon, na may misyon na kapareho ng sa amin. Maliban lang kung hayagang tukuyin mismo ng Foundation bilang isang otorisadong partido sa isang partikular na Website ng Proyekto, walang responsibilidad ang mga organisasyong yon sa mga operasyon ng Website ng Proyekto o ng nilalaman nito.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Mga Serbisyo Namin ==

Dedikado ang Wikimedia Foundation sa paghikayat sa pagpapalaki, pagdedebelop, at pamamahagi ng libreng nilalaman sa iba't-ibang wika, at i-host ang kabuuan ng nilalaman ng mga wiki ng Mga Proyekto na ito sa publiko nang walang bayad. Gampanin namin na i-host ang ilan sa mga pinakamalalaking sama-samang (''collaborative'') ine-edit na mga Proyekto na pang-sanggunian sa mundo, [//www.wikimedia.org na makikita rito]. Gayunpaman, gumaganap lang kami bilang isang hosting service provider, na nagme-maintain sa imprastraktura at framework ng organisasyon. Pinapayagan ng imprastraktura at framework ng organisasyon na ito ang mga user namin na gawin ang Mga Proyekto sa pamamagitan ng pag-ambag o pag-edit mismo sa nilalaman. Pinapayagan din nito ang mga user namin na gamitin muli ang nilalaman na yon. Kabilang sa mine-maintain namin na imprastraktura ang mga specialized na imprastrakturang panteknolohiya na dahilan upang ma-interact ng mga user sa paraang napo-program at gamitin muli ang nilalaman ng Mga Proyekto (tinutukoy dito bilang mga &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; o API), at sa mga mobile app.

Tulad parating ginagamit sa kabuuan ng Kasunduan sa Paggamit, ang mga serbisyo namin ay: [//www.wikimedia.org Mga Website ng Proyekto na aming hino-host], mga imprastrakturang panteknolohiya na aming mine-maintain, at kahit anong mga teknikal na espasyong hino-host namin para sa kadahilanang pang-maintenance at pagpapahusay sa aming Mga Proyekto.

Dahil sa aming natatanging gampanin, may iilang dapat ka malaman muna habang kinokonsidera mo ang aming relasyon sa'yo, sa Mga Proyekto, at sa iba pang mga user:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Hindi namin saklaw ang editoryal:''' Dahil sama-samang ine-edit ang Mga Proyekto, malaking bahagi ng nilalaman na aming hino-host ay mula sa mga user, at hindi namin saklaw ang editoryal na gampanin. Ibig sabihin, hindi kami madalas nagmo-monitor o nag-eedit sa nilalaman ng Mga Website ng Proyekto, at wala kaming responsibilidad sa nilalaman na ito. Sa kaparehong dahilan, maliban lang kung tinukoy mismo namin, hindi namin ineendorso ang kahit anong opinyong nagmumula sa aming mga serbisyo, at hindi namin rinerepresenta o ginagarantiya ang katotohanan, katumpakan, o tiwala sa kahit anong mga inambag na nilalaman ng komunidad sa Mga Proyekto.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Responsable ka sa mga aksyon mo:''' Responsable ka, sa ilalim ng batas, sa mga edit mo at ambag sa Mga Proyekto, ang paggamit mo muli sa nilalaman ng Mga Proyekto, ang paggamit mo sa mga API, at sa paggamit mo ng aming mga serbisyo sa pangkalahatan. Para sa iyong proteksyon, dapat kang mag-ingat at umiwas sa paggawa sa kahit anong mga aksyon na maaaring magresulta sa pagkakakulong o pananagutang sibil sa ilalim ng mga nalalapat na batas. Para malinaw, kabilang sa mga malalapat na batas ang mga batas ng Estados Unidos ng Amerika at ng Estado ng California. Para sa ibang bansa, magdedepende ito sa kaso. Bagamat posibleng hindi kami pumapayag sa mga ganitong aksyon, nagbibigay kami ng mga babala—lalo na sa mga editor, nag-aambag, at may-akda—na posibleng gamitin sa sa'yo ng mga otoridad sa labas sa Estados Unidos ang mga batas ng kani-kanilang bansa, kabilang na ang mga lokal na batas kung saan ka nakatira o saan mo tiningnan o in-edit ang nilalaman. Hindi kami makakaalok madalas ng kahit anong proteksyon, garantiya, immunity, o bayad-pinsala kontra sa paglalapat sa mga batas na ito.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

==7. Paglilisensiya ng Nilalaman==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;span id=&quot;18._Other_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 18. Iba pang Takda ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

'''''Her insanın insanlığın bilgi birikiminde özgürce pay sahibi olabildiği bir dünya düşünün. Bizim taahhüdümüz budur.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Vizyon Bildirimimiz]]

Wikimedia'ya hoş geldiniz! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;biz&quot;), [[:wmf:Mission statement|misyonu]] [[:tr:Ücretsiz içerik|ücretiz bir lisans]] altında içerik toplayarak geliştirmek ve bunu ücretsiz olarak etkili ve küresel bir biçimde yaymak için dünyanın dört bir yanındaki insanlara imkan sağlamak ve harekete geçirmek olan ve kar amacı gütmeyen bir hayır kurumudur.

Son derece canlı olan topluluğumuzu desteklemek için, ([[wmf:Our projects|burada]] açıklanan) çokdilli viki Projeleri ve bunların sürümlerinin geliştirilmesi için gereken altyapı ve organizasyon çerçevesini sağlamakta ve bu misyona hizmet eden diğer çalışmaları gerçekleştirmekteyiz. İnternetten ulaşılabilen Projelerdeki eğitici ve bilgilendirici içeriği ücretsiz hale getirmek ve ebediyen böyle tutmak için çalışmaktayız.

Bir okuyucu, editör, yazar ya da katkı sahibi olarak Wikimedia Projelerine hoş geldiniz (&quot;siz&quot; veya &quot;kullanıcı&quot;)! Wikimedia topluluğuna katılmanızı öneririz. Ancak katılmadan önce, sized aşağıdaki Kullanım Koşullarını (&quot;Kullanım Koşulları&quot;) okuyarak kabul etmenizi rica ediyoruz.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
İşbu Kullanım Koşulları, size Wikimedia Vakfı'ndaki kamusal hizmetlerimiz, bir kullanıcı olarak sizinle ilişkimiz ve her iki tarafa da rehber olacak hak ve sorumluluklar konusunda bilgi verecektir. İnanılmayacak kadar çok miktarda eğitici ve bilgilendirici içerik barındırdığımızı ve bunların tamamının sizin gibi kullanıcıların katkısıyla oluştuğunu ve mümkün olduğunu bilmenizi isteriz. Genellikle (Kullanım Koşulları ve [[:tr:Dijital Binyıl Telif Hakkı Yasası|DMCA]] bildirimleri için yasal uyum gibi nadir politika istisnaları dışında) içeriğe katkıda bulunmuyor, izlemiyor ya da silmiyoruz. Bu, yazınsal kontrolün içeriği oluşturarak yöneten siz ve sizin gibi kullanıcıların elinde olduğu anlamına gelmektedir. Bizim tek yaptığımız iş, bu içeriği barındırmaktır.

Çeşitli site veya Projeleri sürekli olarak inşa ederek kullanan kullanıcı ağı olarak tanımlanabilecek olan topluluk, misyon hedeflerine ulaşmanın temel yoludur. Topluluk, sitelerimize katkıda bulunur ve yönetilmesine yardım eder. Topluluk, (Vikipedi Projesinin farklı dil sürümleri ya da Wikimedia Commons çokdilli sürümü gibi) spesifik Proje sürümleri için politikaların oluşturulması ve uygulanması gibi kritik bir işlevi üstlenir.

Bir katkı sahibi, editör ya da yazar olarak katılmakta özgürsünüz; ancak bağımsız Proje sürümlerini düzenleyen politikaları izlemelisiniz. Projelerimizin en büyüğü Vikipedi'dir; ancak her biri farklı hedeflere ve çalışma yöntemlerine sahip olan başka Projeleri de barındırmaktayız. Her Proje Sürümü, o Proje sürümündeki içeriği oluşturarak yönetmek için birlikte çalışan katkı sahipleri, editörler ve yazarlardan oluşan bir ekibe sahiptir. Bu Projeleri geliştirmek için bu ekiplere katılarak birlikte çalışmakta özgürsünüz. İçeriği kamunun özgürce erişebileceği hale getirmeye kendimizi adamış olduğumuz için, genellikle eklediğiniz her türlü içeriğin özgür bir lisansa göre kullanılabilir ya da kamu malı olmasını şart koşmaktayız.

Lütfen Amerika Birleşik Devletleri yasaları ve (yaşadığınız ya da içeriği gördüğünüz veya düzenlediğiniz yerin yasalarını da içerebilecek) diğer geçerli yasalar uyarınca tüm katkılarınız, düzenlemeleriniz ve Wikimedia içeriğini kullanımınızdan yasal olarak sorumlu olduğunuzu unutmayın. Bu, içerik gönderirken dikkatli olmanız gerektiği anlamına gelir. Bu sorumluluk ışığında, neleri gönderemeyeceğiniz konusunda bazı kurallarımız bulunmaktadır ve bunların çoğu, ya sizin korunmanız ya da sizin gibi diğer kullanıcıların korunması içindir. Lütfen barındırdığımız içeriğin sadece genel bilgi amaçları için olduğunu ve (tıbbi, yasal ya da finansal sorunlar gibi) belirli bir soruda uzman görüşüne ihtiyaç duymanız halinde, lisanslı ya da kalifiye bir profesyonelin yardımına başvurmanız gerektiğini unutmayın. Başka önemli bildirim ve sorumluluk retlerimiz de bulunmaktadır; bu yüzden lütfen işbu Kullanım Koşullarını baştan sona okuyun.

Anlaşılması adına, aynı misyonu paylaşması mümkün olan [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|yerel Wikimedia kuruluşları]] ve dernekleri gibi diğer örgütlerin yasal olarak Wikimedia Vakfı'ndan bağımsız ve ayrı olduğu ve web sitesinin çalışması ya da içeriği konusunda hiçbir sorumluluğa sahip olmadıklarını belirtmek gerekir. Belirli bir Projenin Web Sitesinde yetkili taraf olarak Vakıf tarafından belirtilmediği sürece, bu diğer kuruluşların Projenin Web Sitesi'nin veya içeriğinin işleyişinden hiçbir sorumluluğu yoktur.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Hizmetlerimiz==

Wikimedia Vakfı, özgür çokdilli içeriğin büyümesi, gelişmesi ve dağıtılmasının teşvik edilmesi ile bu viki temelli Projelerin tüm içeriğinin kamu için ücretsiz olarak barındırılmasına kendini adamış durumdadır. Görevimiz, [https://www.wikimedia.org burada] bulunabilecek iş birliğiyle düzenlenen dünyanın en büyük referans Projelerinden bazılarını barındırmaktır. Ancak sadece bir barındırma servisi olarak faaliyet göstermekte, kullanıcılarımızın içeriği ekleyerek ve düzenleyerek Wikimedia Projelerini inşa etmesine izin veren altyapı ve organizasyon çerçevesinin bakımını yapmaktayız.

Kullanım Şartları'nın geri kalanında belirtildiği üzere, hizmetlerimiz şunlardan oluşmaktadır: [//www.wikimedia.org Barındırdığımız Proje Web Siteleri], bakımını yaptığımız teknolojik altyapı ve Projelerimizin bakımı ve iyileştirilmesi için barındırdığımız teknik alanlar.

Benzersiz görevimiz nedeniyle, sizinle, Projelerle ve diğer kullanıcılarla olan ilişkimizi değerlendirirken aklınızda olması gereken birkaç şey var:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Yazınsal bir rolümüz bulunmamaktadır:''' Wikimedia Projeleri iş birliği ile düzenlendiği için, barındırdığımız içeriğin tamamı sizin gibi kullanıcılar tarafından sağlanmaktadır ve yazınsal bir rolümüz bulunmamaktadır. Bunun anlamı, genellikle Proje web sitelerinin içeriğini izlemeyip düzenlemediğimiz ve bu içerik için hiçbir sorumluluk kabul etmediğimizdir. Benzer şekilde servisimiz aracılığıyla ifade edilen hiçbir görüşü desteklememekte ve gönderilen topluluk içeriklerinin gerçeklik, doğruluk ya da güvenilirliği konusunda da herhangi bir beyan veya tekeffülümüz bulunmamaktadır. Biz, sadece sizin gibi kullanıcıların katkıda bulunarak düzenlediği içeriğe erişimi sağlamaktayız.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Kendi eylemlerinizden sorumlusunuz:''' Wikimedia Projelerindeki düzenlemeleriniz ve katkılarınızdan yasal olarak sorumlusunuz. Bu nedenle kendi iyiliğiniz için dikkatli olmalı ve herhangi bir geçerli yasa uyarınca cezai ya da hukuki sorumluluk ile sonuçlanabilecek herhangi bir içeriği eklemekten kaçınmalısınız. Her ne kadar bu eylemlere katılmasak da, makamların yaşadğınız ya da içeriği gördüğünüz veya düzenlediğiniz yerlerin yerel yasaları gibi diğer ülke yasalarını size uygulamaya çalışabileceği konusunda editör ve katılımcıları uyarmaktayız. WMF, genellikle herhangi bir koruma, garanti, dokunulmazlık ya da tazminat sağlayamamaktadır.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Hizmetlerimiz dünyanın her yanından insanlarca kullanıldığı için, topladığımız kişisel bilgilerin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ya da bizim veya aracılarımızın hizmet araçlarına sahip olduğu diğer herhangi bir ülkede depolanabilir ve işlem görebilir. Hizmetlerimizi kullanarak bilgilerin ülkeniz dışına aktarımına izin vermektesiniz.

Wikimedia Vakfı'nın barındırdığı Projeler, yalnızca içeriği yazmak, düzenlemek ve yönetmek için iş birliği yapan sizin gibi kullanıcılardan oluşan canlı topluluğu sayesinde vardır. Bu topluluğa katılmanızdan memnuniyet duyarız. Topluluğun diğer üyeleri ile olan iletişiminizde kibar ve nazik olmanızı, iyi niyetle hareket etmenizi ve paylaşılan Proje misyonunu ileriye götürmeyi hedefleyen düzenleme ve katkılar yapmanızı rica ediyoruz.

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==7. İçerik Lisanslama==

Projelere katılan tüm kullanıcılar, özgür bilginin ve özgür kültürün müştereklerini büyütmek için kendi katkılarının kamuya yeniden dağıtımı ve yeniden kullanımına dair,  bu kullanım tarafından düzgün şekilde atıfta bulunulması ve aynı yeniden kullanım ve yeniden dağıtım izninin türetilmiş tüm işlere tanınması kaydıyla, geniş izinler bağışlar. Özgür bilginin mümkün olan en geniş kitleye sağlanması hedefimize bağlı olarak, gerektiğinde ,  sunulan tüm içeriğin ona erişen herkes tarafından özgürce yeniden kullanabileceği şekilde lisanslanmasını şart koşuyoruz.

Şu lisanslama şartlarını kabul ediyorsunuz:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Telif hakkına sahip olduğunuz metin:''' Telif hakkının sahibi olduğunuz metni gönderdiğinizde ona aşağıdaki lisansları vermeyi kabul etmiş olursunuz:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported Lisansı] (“CC BY-SA”) ve 
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Özgür Belgelendirme Lisansı] (“GFDL”) (sürüm yok, sabit bölümler, ön-kapak veya arka-kapak yok). (Tekrar-kullananlar lisanslardan birine veya ikisine birden uyabilir)

Tekrar kullanımlar, birine ya da ikisine birden uyularak yapılabilir.&lt;br /&gt;
Tek istisna, Proje edisyonun veya özelinin farklı bir lisans gerektirmesi durumudur. Bu durumda, katkı sağladığınız her metni o belli lisans altında lisanslamayı kabul edersiniz. Örneğin, Kullanım Şartlarının bu sürümünün yayınında İngilizce Wikinews tüm metinsel içeriğin Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic License (CC BY 2.5) altında lisanslanmasını gerektiriyor ve GFDL ile çift lisans gerektirmiyor.

Lütfen bu lisansların, sizin katkılarınızın ticari kullanımına, bu kullanım şartlarına uyulduğu sürece, izin verdiğini dikkate alınız.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Atıf:''' Atıf bu lisansların önemli bir parçasıdır. Biz bunu uygun olan yerlerde sizin gibi yazarların adının anılması olarak addediyoruz. Bir metne katkıda bulunduğunuzda şu şekillerde size atıfta bulunulmasını kabul etmiş olursunuz:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Katkıda bulunduğunuz maddeye (her bir maddenin, katkıda bulunan yazar ve editörleri listeleyen bir geçmiş sayfası bulunduğundan) hiperbağlantı (mümkün olan yerlerde) veya URL verilmesiyle;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bu lisansa uyan ve Proje websitesindekine benzer şekilde yazarları anan; serbestçe erişilen sabit çevrimiçi bir kopyaya Hiperbağlantı (mümkün olan yerlerde) veya URL  verilmesiyle;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tüm yazarların bir listesini vererek (fakat herhangi bir yazar listesinin çok küçük veya uygunsuz katkıları dışarıda bırakacak şekilde süzülebilebceğini göz önüne alınız.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Metin aktarmak:''' Başka yerde bulduğunuz veya başkalarıyla birlikte kaleme aldığınız metni aktarabilirsiniz fakat bu durumda metnin CC BY-SA 3.0 lisansı (veya yukarıda açıklandığı gibi Proje sürümü veya özelliği tarafından öyle gerektirilmesi durumunda  başka bir lisans)(&quot;CC BY-SA&quot;) ile bağdaştığına garanti vermelisiniz. Sadece GFGDL altında müsait içeriğe izin verilmez.&lt;br /&gt;

Atıf gerektiren bir CC B_SA lisansı altında metin aktarırsanız makul bir yolla yazar(lar)dan bahsetmeniz gerektiğini kabul ediyorsunuz. Böyle bir bahis genellikle sayfa geçmişleri (örneğin Wikimedia-iç kopyalaması) yoluyla verilse de metin aktarırken sayfa geçmişinde kaydedilen değişiklik özetinde atıfta bulunmak yeterlidir. Atıf yükümlülükleri bazen belli durumlar için çok kullanışsızdır (lisanstan bağımsız olarak) ve Wikimedia topluluğunun aktarılan metnin bu sebeple kullanılamayacağına dair karar verdiği durumlar olabilir.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Metin dışı medya:''' Projelerdeki metin dışı medya kısıtlamasız yeniden kullanım ve yeniden dağıtımı sağlama genel hedefini destekleyecek çeşitli bazı lisanslar altında mevcuttur. Metin dışı medya eklediğinizde [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Lisanslama Politikamızda]] bu tür lisanslar için açıklanan yükümlülüklere uymayı kabul ettiğiniz gibi katkıda bulunduğunuz Proje edisyonu veya özelliğine özgü gerekliliklere uymayı da kabul etmiş olursunuz. O Politikaya metin dışı katkı sağlamak konusunda daha fazla bilgi için ayrıca [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Lisanslama Politikası]]'na bakınız.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Lisans iptali yok:''' Hizmetlerimizi kullanmayı bıraksanız bile, kendi lisansınıza uygun durumlar haricinde, bu Kullanım Şartları altında Wikimedia Projeleri veya özelliklerine eklediğiniz metinsel içeriği veya metin dışı medya için hiç bir lisansı  tek taraflı olarak kaldırmayacağınızı veya geçersizleştirmeyeceğinizi kabul ediyorsunuz.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Telifi serbest içerik:''' Telifi serbest içerik memnuniyetle kabul edilir! Yalnız telifin serbestlik durumunun spesifik Proje sürümünün gerektirdiği ülkelerin yasalarının yanısıra ABD yasalarına göre de geçerli olduğunu teyit etmeniz önemlidir. Telifi serbest bir içerik eklediğinizde materyalin gerçekten telifinin serbest olduğu güvencesini verir ve doğru biçimde adlandırmayı kabul edersiniz.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Yeniden kullanım:''' Bulundurduğumuz içeriğin yeniden kullanımı memnuniyetle kabul edilir, ancak  telif hakları yasasındaki &quot;adil kullanım&quot; veya benzer muafiyetler altındaki içerik için bazı istisnalar mevcuttur. Her türlü yeniden kullanım ilgili lisans(lar)a riayet etmelidir.&lt;br /&gt;

Wikimedia topluluğu tarafından geliştirilmiş bir metin sayfasını yeniden kullanır veya dağıtırken yazarlara aşağıdaki yollardan biri ile atıfta bulunmayı kabul edersiniz:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hiperbağlantı  (mümkün olan yerlerde) ya da yeniden kullandığınız sayfa veya sayfalara URL verilmesi ile (her bir sayfa katkıda bulunan tüm yazar ve editörleri listeleyen bir sayfa geçmişe sahip olduğundan);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Serbestçe erişilebilen, telif şartlarına uyan ve yazarlara Proje web sitesinde verilişine eşdeğer  şekilde atıfta bulunan  bir alternatif, sabit çevrimiçi kopyaya Hiperbağlantı (mümkün olan yerlerde) verilmesiyle veya&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tüm yazarların bir listesini vererek (fakat herhangi bir yazar listesinin çok küçük veya uygunsuz katkıları dışarıda bırakacak şekilde süzülebilebceğini göz önüne alınız.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Metinsel içerik başka bir kaynaktan aktarıldıysa, içeriğin bağdaşık bir CC BY-SA (Alıntı-Lisans Devam) lisansı altında lisanslanması mümkündür fakat GFDL altında lisanslanamaz (yukarıda “metin aktarmak” bölümünde açıklandığı şekilde). Bu durumda, bağdaşık CC BY-SA lisansına uymayı ve GFDL altında yeniden lisanslamamayı kabul etmiş olursunuz. Yeniden kullanmak veya dağıtmak istediğiniz içerik için geçerli olan lisansı belirlemek için sayfa altbilgisi, sayfa geçmişi ve tartışma sayfasını incelemelisiniz.

Ayrıca, dış kaynaklardan gelen ve bir Projeye aktarılmış olan metnin ek atıf gereklilikleri içeren bir lisans altında olabileceğini unutmayınız. Kullanıcılar, bu ek atıf gerekliliklerini açıkça belirtmeyi kabul ederler. Projeye bağlı olarak, bu tür gereklilikler içeriğin bir kısmı veya tamamının başka bir yerde yayımlanmış olduğuna işaret eden örneğin bir bannerda veya başka bir işaretlemede görünebilir. Bu tür görünür işaretlemeler varsa tekrar-kullananlar onları korumalıdır.

Metin dışı her türlü medya için, çalışma hangi lisans altında sunulmuşsa (çalışmaya tıklayıp açıklama sayfasındaki lisanslama bölümüne bakarak veya o çalışma için geçerli kaynak sayfasını inceleyerek bulunabilir) ona uymayı kabul ediyorsunuz.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Yeniden-kullanılan materyalde değişiklikler ve ilaveler:''' Bir Proje web sitesinden aldığınız metni değiştirirken veya ilaveler yaparken, değiştirilen veya eklenen içeriği CC BY-SA 3.0 veya daha sonraki (ya da yukarıda açıklandığı gibi spesifik Proje sürümü veya özelliğinin gerektirdiği farklı bir lisans) altında lisanslamayı kabul edersiniz.&lt;br /&gt;

Bir Proje web sitesinden aldığınız herhangi bir metin-dışı medyada değişiklik veya ilave yaparken, değiştirilen veya eklenen içeriği çalışma hangi lisans altında ise onun altında lisanslamayı kabul edersiniz.&lt;br /&gt;

Gerek metinsel gerekse metin dışı medyada,  orijinal çalışmanın değiştirildiğini açıkça göstermeyi kabul ediyorsunuz. Eğer metinsel içeriği bir vikide tekrar kullanmakta iseniz aktardığınız metinde değişiklik yaptığınız sayfanın geçmişinde belirtmeniz yeterlidir. Dağıttığınız her bir kopya veya değiştirilmiş sürüm için, lisansın metnine veya bir lisans kopyasının kendisine bir hiperbağlantı veya URL vermenin yanısıra, çalışmanın hangi lisans altında yayınlandığını belirten bir lisanslama bildirisi eklemeyi kabul ediyorsunuz.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Wikimedia Vakfı bulundurduğumuz içeriğin diğer kullanıcılar tarafından sorumluluk korkusu olmadan ve başkalarının sahiplik haklarına tecavüz etmeden yeniden kullanılabileceğinden emin olmak istiyor. Diğer yaratıcılara ve telif hakkı sahiplerine olduğu gibi kullanıcılarımıza karşı da adil olmak için  politikamız, hak ihlali iddialarına ilişkin bildirimlere Dijital Binyıl Telif Hakkı Yasasına (DMCA) uygun biçimde yanıt vermektir.  DMCA'ya göre sistemimiz ve ağımızdaki ihlalleri tekrarlayan kullanıcı ve hesapları uygun hallerde sonlandıracağız.

Yine de şununda farkındayız ki her bildirim geçerli ya da iyi niyetli değil. Bu durumlarda kullanıcıların DMCA kapatılma talebinin  geçersiz veya uygunsuz olduğuna makul olarak inanmaları halinde karşı-bildirimde bulunmalarını destekliyoruz. Uygunsuz bir DMCA bildiriminin yapıldığını düşünmeniz halinde ne yapacağınız hakkında daha fazla bilgi için $lumendb web sitesine danışmak isteyebilirsiniz.

Eğer izniniz olmadan Projelerden birinde uygunsuz bir biçimde kullanılan içeriğin sahibi iseniz, içeriğin DMCA'ya göre kaldırılmasını talep edebilirsiniz. Böyle bir talepte bulunmak için lütfen &lt;tt&gt;legal&lt;/tt&gt;{{@}}&lt;tt&gt;wikimedia.org&lt;/tt&gt; adresine e-posta gönderin veya [[foundation:Designated agent|bu adresteki]] atanmış temsilcimize posta gönderin.

Alternatif olarak topluluğumuzdan talepte bulunabilirsiniz ki genellikle telif konularını DMCA'da bildirilenden daha hızlı ve etkin biçimde halleder. Farklı Proje edisyonları için uyun süreçlerin detaylı olmayan ve yetkisi olmayan bir listesi için    [[meta:Copyright problems|buraya]] bakın. Bir DMCA şikayetinden önce topluluğa &lt;tt&gt;info&lt;/tt&gt;{{@}}&lt;tt&gt;wikimedia.org&lt;/tt&gt; adresinden bir e-posta gönderme seçeneğiniz vardır.

Farklı Proje sürümleri için geçerli politikaları oluşturma ve uygulamada birincil rol topluluğa aittir. Wikimedia Vakfı’nda bizler, politika geliştirilmesi ve uygulanması hakkında topluluk kararlarına nadiren karışırız. Olağandışı bir durumda Projede önemli bir bozulma veya tehlikeli davranış nedeniyle problematik bir kullanıcıyla özellikle ilgilenmemize gereksinim olabilir veya topluluk bizden bunu isteyebilir. Bu tür durumlarda, gerçekleştirme zorunluluğumuz olmasa da, aşağıdaki işlemler için hakkımız saklıdır:

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Yasadışı içerik veya Kullanım Şartlarımızı (başvuru yoluyla dahil edilen tüm politikalar ve diğer belgeler dahil) ihlal eden içerik hakkında bizi başka nedenlerle [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|doğrudan bizimle iletişime geçerek]] bilgilendirmeniz mümkündür. Ancak, genellikle doğrudan Proje topluluğuna bir talepte bulunabilirsiniz: bu daha verimli olabilir ve Projelerimizin kullanıcı topluluğunu güçlendirme amacıyla daha tutarlıdır.
&lt;/div&gt;


Her Proje genelde gelecekte ihtiyaç olması ihtimaline binaen &quot;Yardım&quot; veya &quot;İletişim&quot; sayfaları veya bildirim konuları için özel araçlar sağlar. Veya (kesin değilse) topluluk üyelerinden yardım isteyebilirsiniz, bunun için info@wikimedia.org adresine ya da spesifik bir dil için [[$vrt|Gönüllü İletişim Ekibi sayfasından]] e-posta gönderebilirsiniz. Lütfen bu posta adreslerinin Vakıf tarafından değil; Proje kullanıcıları tarafından yönetildiğini unutmayın. Sonuç olarak, yasal sebeplerle tehdit edilmemeli veya suçlanmamalıdır.

Vakıf ile bir sorun hakkında irtibata geçtiğinizde biz genelde mevcut topluluk temelli mekanizmaların sorunu inceleyip incelemeyeceğini, bu mekanizmaların uygun olup olmadığını ve çözüm sağlayıp sağlamayacağını araştırırız.

Alışılmadık bir durum karşısında ihtiyaç hasıl olabilir veya topluluk bizden özellikle bir kullanıcıyı veya içeriği Proje özelindeki rahatsızlık ve tehlikeli davranışlar nedeniyle sorunlu olarak nitelememizi isteyebilir. Bu gibi durumlarda, tamamen kendi takdirimize bağlı olarak (veya yasal olarak zorunlu olduğu durumlarda) aşağıdakileri yapma hakkımızı saklı tutarız:

* Hizmeti kullanımınızın (a) İşbu Kullanım Koşullarını, Proje sürümü politikasını ya da başka geçerli yasa veya politikayı ihlal edip etmediğini belirlemek veya (b) geçerli herhangi bir yasa, yasal süreç ya da ilişkili bir resmî talebi yerine getirmek üzere soruşturulması;
* Sahtekarlığın, güvenlikle ilgili veya teknik meselelerin tespiti, önlenmesi veya başka bir şekilde ele alınması veya kullanıcı destek taleplerinin yanıtlanması;
* İşbu Kullanım Koşullarını ihlal eden bir kullanıcının katkısının reddi, engellenmesi veya erişiminin kısıtlanması;
* Telif hakkı ihlalinin tekrarı da dahil, bu Kullanım Koşullarını ihlal eden eylemleri nedeniyle bir kullanıcının yazma veya katkıda bulunmasının yasaklanması veya bir kullanıcının hesabının engellenmesi;
* Bu Kullanım Koşullarını ihlal eden kullanıcılara karşı yasal işlem başlatılması (kolluk kuruluşlarına bildirim de dahil olmak üzere) ve 
* Başka farklı bir şekilde Proje web sitelerinin düzgün işlemesini kolaylaştıracak ve kendimizin ve kullanıcılarımızın, lisansörlerimizin, ortaklarımızın ve halkın haklarını, malını ve güvenliğini koruyacak şekilde yönetilmesi.
* Bir kullanıcının düzenleme yapmasını veya katkıda bulunmasını yasaklamak veya bu Kullanım Şartlarını ihlal eden eylemlerden dolayı bir kullanıcının hesabını veya erişimini engellemek, buna insan hakları ilkeleri doğrultusunda yürürlükteki yasalara göre yasadışı materyalin tekrar tekrar gönderilmesi de dahildir;
* Bu Kullanım Şartlarını ihlal eden kullanıcılara karşı yasal işlem başlatmak (yasa uygulama makamlarına bildirimler dahil); ve
* Proje web sitelerini, düzgün bir şekilde çalışmasını kolaylaştırmak ve kendimizin, kullanıcılarımızın, lisans verenlerimizin, ortaklarımızın ve kamuoyunun haklarını, mülklerini ve güvenliğini korumak için tasarlanmış bir şekilde yönetmek.

Bu Vakıf yönetim işlemleri çeşitli yazılımlar tarafından gerçekleştirilebilir ve bu konuda duyurular yapılabilir (trafik akışı (&quot;Hizmet Reddi&quot;) koruması gibi). Bu durumlarda, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|talep üzerine]] insan incelemesi mümkündür.

Kullanıcılarımızın ve Projelerimizin yararına, bir kişinin hesabının veya erişiminin bu hükme göre engellenmesi uç durumunda, biz açıkça izin vermedikçe kişinin  başka bir hesap oluşturması veya var olan bir başka hesabı kullanması veya aynı Projeye erişim sağlamaya çalışması yasaklanmıştır. Topluluğun yetkisini kısıtlamaksızın, Wikimedia Vakfı’nın kendisi aksi takdirde bu Kullanım Koşullarının veya topluluk politikalarının ihlali ile sonuçlanmayan eylemlerden ötürü sadece iyi niyet eleştirisine dayanarak herhangi bir kullanıcının yazmasını veya katkı sağlamasını yasaklamayacak veya kullanıcının hesabını veya erişimini engellemeyecektir.

Wikimedia topluluğu ve üyeleri de spesifik Proje sürümünün topluluk veya Vakıf politikaları izin verdiği takdirde, bu politikaları ihlal eden kullanıcıları uyarma, soruşturma, engelleme veya yasaklanmasını içeren fakat bunlarla sınırlı kalmayan yaptırımları gerçekleştirebilir. Spesifik Proje sürümlerinin toplulukları tarafından kurulan anlaşmazlık çözümü organlarının, -spesifik Proje edisyonu politikası tarafından konulmuş yaptırımları da içerebilecek - nihaî kararlarına uymayı kabul ediyorsunuz.

[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Küresel Yasaklar Politikası]] kimi Proje sürümlerinde hesapları veya erişimleri engellenen özellikle problemli kullanıcılar tüm Proje sürümlerinden men edilmeye maruz kalabilir. Kurul kararı veya bu Kullanım Koşulları’nın aksine topluluğun kararlaştırdığı politikalar, ister tek bir Proje sürümünü ister birden çok Proje sürümünü içersin (Küresel Yasaklar Politikası gibi), ilgili topluluk tarafından kendi süreçlerine göre değiştirilebilir.

Bir kullanıcının hesabının veya erişiminin bu hüküm gereği engellenmesi, Kullanım Koşulları’nn 12. bölümüne uygun olmalıdır.

Sorunlu bir içeriğin bildirilmesi konusunda tatmin edici şekilde hareket etmediğimize inanıyorsanız veya itiraz etmek istediğiniz bir Vakıf yönetimi işlemine tâbi tutulduysanız, [Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals itiraz edebilirsiniz]. İtiraz süreci hakkındaki bilgiler size o sırada bildirilecek veya ilgili Projenin yardım sayfalarında o bilgilere erişebileceksiniz.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Bildirimleri veya kullanıcılardan, üçüncü kişilerden gelen, yasa dışı olduğu iddia edilen veya başka bir şekilde sorunlu içerik veya davranış hakkında veya bu tür yazışmaların kötü niyetli, tekrarlayan, asılsız ve/veya taciz edici olması durumunda moderasyon eylemlerine karşı itiraz talebinde bulunulması gibi diğer yazışmaları işleme almayı askıya alma hakkımızı (geçici veya sürekli olarak), yasadışı olduğu edilen saklı tutuyoruz. Uygun koşullarda, e-posta adresiniz dahi e-posta sistem(ler)imizde engellenebilir ve bizimle bu engel sürecinde ileri yazışmalar yapmak isterseniz bizimle [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|posta adresimiz]] üzerinden iletişime geçmeniz gerekebilir. Daha az ciddi olaylar (ör. bir veya birden fazla dayanaksız şikayet hakkında üç nazik e-posta) için, bunun geçici olması muhtemeldir. Daha sık veya süreci aksatıcı iletişimler sürekli tedbirlere neden olabilir.

Wikimedia Vakfı Mütevelli heyeti zaman zaman [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|resmi politikalar]] çıkarır. Bu politikaların bir kısmı belli bir Proje veya Proje sürümü için zorunlu olabiilir ve öyle oldukları durumda o politikalara uymayı kabul etmiş olursunuz.

Kullanıcıların ücretsiz bilgiyi teşvik eden ürünler oluşturmasını sağlamak için dokümantasyon ve ilişkili araçları içeren bir dizi API sunuyoruz. API'lerimizi kullanarak, API'lerin kullanımını yöneten tüm geçerli politikalara uymayı kabul edersiniz. Bunlara, ancak bunlarla sınırlı olmamak üzere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Kullanıcı Aracısı Politikası]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Politikası]] ve [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiket]] (toplu olarak &quot;API Dokümantasyonu&quot;) dahildir ve bunlar bu Kullanım Şartlarına atıf yoluyla dahil edilmiştir.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Fesih ==

Kalmanızı ve Projelere katkıda bulunmaya devam etmenizi ümit etsek de istediğiniz zaman hizmetlerimizi kullanmayı bırakabilirsiniz. Bazı (umuyoruz ki uzak ihtimalli) durumlarda kendimiz veya Wikimedia topluluğu veya üyeleri için(10. Bölüm’de tarif edildiği şekliyle) hizmetlerimizin bir kısmı veya tamamını sonlandırmak, bu Kullanım Koşullarını sonlandırmak, hesabınızı veya erişiminizi engellemek veya bir kullanıcı olarak sizi engellemek zorunlu olabilir. Eğer hesabınız veya erişiminiz engellendiyse veya bir nedenle sonlandırıldıysa telifi serbest katkılarınız herkesçe görülebilir durumda kalacaktır (geçerli politikalara tabi olarak) ve size aksini bildirmediğimiz sürece genel kullanıma açık sayfalarımıza sadece Projelerdeki halka açık içeriği okumak üzere erişebilirsiniz. Ne var ki böylesi durumlarda kendi hesabınıza veya ayarlarınıza erişemezsiniz. Bildirim yaparak veya bildirim olmaksızın herhangi bir zaman hizmeti askıya alma veya sonlandırma hakkını saklı tutarız. Kullanımınız e katılımınız yasaklandıktan ,engellendikten veya başka bir yolla askıya alındıktan sonra bu Kullanım Koşulları, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-15 ve 17. Bölümler de dahil olmak üzere uygun hükümleri bakımından yürürlükte kalacaktır.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Fark edilmesi için renklendirilmiş''

Sizinle ilgili hiçbir ciddi anlaşmazlık doğmamasını umuyoruz fakat bir anlaşmazlığın olması durumunda Proje veya Proje sürümleri ve Wikimedia Vakfı tarafından sağlanan anlaşmazlık çözüm süreçleri veya mekanizmaları yoluyla çözüm aramanızı destekliyoruz. Eğer tarafımıza bir dava veya yasal işlem başlatmak isterseniz, bunun sadece San Francisco County, California’da bir eyalet mahkemesi veya federal mahkemede görülmesini kabul edersiniz. Ayrıca California eyaleti yasalarının ve de uygulanabildiği ölçüde Amerika Birleşik Devletleri yasalarının bu Kullanım Koşulları’nda geçerli olacağını,  sizinle aramızda doğabilecek herhangi bir yasal işlemde (kanunlar ihtilafına dair kuralları dikkate almaksızın)  San Francisco County, California’da bulunan mahkemelerin yargı yetkisine tabi olmayı ve uygun yargı yeri olduğunu kabul ediyorsunuz.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Anlaşmazlıkların ortaya çıktıktan hemen sonra halledilmesini mümkün kılmak için hizmetlerimizin kullanımından veya bu Kullanım Koşullarından doğan herhangi bir dava veya dava nedeninin, aksi bir yönetmelik veya yasayı dikkate almaksızın, geçerli  zamanaşımı süresi içinde veya daha önce ise sözkonusu dava veya dava nedeni altında yatan ilgili olguların makul bir dikkat ve titizlikle ortaya çıkarılabilmesinden  bir (1) yıl  sonra  başlatılmasını (ya da tamamen kapatılmasını) kabul edersiniz.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
İşbu Kullanım Koşullarının dördüncü bölümünde açıklandığı üzere, Açıklama Bulunmayan Ücretli Katkı ihlallerini Vakfın takdirine göre bir Pazarlama Şirketi Arabuluculuğunda çözümlemeyi kabul edersiniz. Pazarlama Şirketi Arabulucuları, yarım gün ya da tam günlük bir seansın sonunda, çözülmemiş anlaşmazlıkların bir arabulucu tarafından yasal olarak bağlayıcı kararlar verebildiği '''bağlayıcı''' arabuluculardır. Toplantılar telekonferans veya video-konferans yoluyla yapılır. Yüzyüze bir görüşme gerekirse, Pazarlama Şirketi Arabuluculuğu San Francisco, Kaliforniya'da yer alacaktır. Taraflar arabuluculuğa ilişkin tüm masraf ve ödemeleri yarı yarıya paylaşacaktır.

Pazarlama Şirketi Arabuluculuğu'nun bir parçası olarak, kullanılan hesaplar, etkilenen maddeler ve bu tür hizmetleri satın alan müşteriler dahil olmak üzere, açıklanmayan ücretli düzenleme faaliyetlerinize ilişkin elinizde bulunan tüm belgeleri zamanında sağlamak da dahil olmak üzere, Vakıf ile işbirliği yapmayı kabul edersiniz.

Pazarlama Şirketi Arabuluculuğu arabulucunun hakem olduğu ölçüde Federal Tahkim Yasasına tabidir. Kazanan taraf, vekillerinin ücretinin (Pazarlama Şirketi Arabuluculuğunun uygulanabilirliğini tespit etmek ve bağlayıcı sonucu uygulamak için gerekli ücretler de dahil) ve haklarının araştırılması ve yerine getirilmesine ilişkin tüm masrafların ödenmesini talep edebilir. Bir taraf, ileri sürülen her iddiayı ispatlayamasa bile “kazanan” sayılabilir.

Herhangi bir nedenle bu Pazarlama Şirketi Arabuluculuğu gerekliliklerinin tamamının uygulanamaz olduğu anlaşılırsa, tüm anlaşmazlıkları bu bölümün başında açıklanan şekilde çözmeyi kabul edersiniz.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

Wikimedia Vakfı’nda bizler, çok geniş bir kitleye eğitim ve bilgi içeriği sağlamak için elimizden geleni yaparız fakat hizmetlerimizi kullanmanızla ilgili sorumluluk size aittir. Bu hizmetleri “olduğu gibi” ve “mevcut olduğu sürece” esasına dayanarak sağlarız ve satılabilirlik,  belli bir amaca uygunluk ve ihlalsizliğe ilişkin garantileri de içeren fakat bunlarla sınırlı olmayan açık veya zımni  hiçbir türden garanti vermemekteyiz. Hizmetlerimizin gereksinimlerinizi karşılayacağını, güvenli, emin, kesintisiz, güncel, tam veya hatasız olacağını veya bilginizin güvende olacağını garanti etmiyoruz.

Üçüncü tarafları içerik, veri veya eylemlerinden yükümlü değiliz ve bizi, yöneticilerimizi, memurlarımıza, çalışanlarımızı ve mümessillerimizi böylesi üçüncü taraflara karşı olası bir davanızdan doğan veya böyle bir dava ile herhangi bir şekilde ilişkili olarak ortaya çıkmış bilinen veya bilinmeyen her türlü hak veya zarardan sorumlu tutulmayacağını kabul edersiniz.

Hizmetlerimizi kullanarak yüklediğiniz veya başka bir şekilde elde ettiğiniz her türlü materyal kendi sorumluluğunuzdadır ve bu tür materyalin yüklenmesi sonucu bilgisayar sisteminizde meydana gelecek herhangi bir zarar veya veri kaybının yegane sorumlusu sizsiniz. Hizmetin sağladığı her türlü içerik ve iletişimin silinmesi durumunda ya da saklama veya aktarımının başarısız olması durumunda hiçbir sorumluluğumuzun olmadığını kabul edersiniz. Kullanım veya depolamada herhangi bir zaman bildirim olmaksızın sınır koyma hakkımızı saklı tutuyoruz.

Bazı eyaletler veya yargı yerleri bu bölümde görülen türde sorumluluk reddine izin vermezler; bu durumda sözkonusu hükümler  sizin için yasaya bağlı olarak kısmen veya tamamen uygulanmayabilir.&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|16}}

Hiçbir durumda yükümlülüğümüz toplam bin ABD Dolarını (1000USD) geçmeyecektir. Sorumluluğumuz yürürlükteki yasaların izin verdiği ölçüde sınırlanmış olsa da uygulanacak hukukun, yükümlülüğün sınırlanmasına veya arızi veya dolaylı hasarların sınırlandırılmasına ya da hariç tutulmasına izin vermemesi durumunda, yukarıdaki sınırlama veya istisna, sizin için geçerli olmayabilir.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;17._Modifications_to_these_Terms_of_Use&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==17. Bu Kullanım Koşullarındaki Değişiklikler ==

Tıpkı Wikimedia topluluğunun katkısının Projelerin büyümesi ve devamı için esas olması gibi, topluluğun katkısının bu Kullanım Koşullarının kullanıcılarımıza düzgün hizmet etmesi için de esas olduğuna inanıyoruz. Bu, adil bir sözleşmenin de esasıdır. Bu nedenle, bu Kullanım Şartlarını ve bu kullanım Koşullarındaki gelecekteki olası önemli revizyonları en az otuz (30) gün öncesinden topluluk görüşüne sunacağız. Eğer gelecekteki bir revizyon önerisi önemli ise önerilen revizyonun n az 3 dilde (kendi takdirimizle seçilmiş) çevirisinin yayımlanmasından sonra ek 30 gün süre sağlayacağız. Topluluk, önerilen revizyonu diğer dillere uygun bir şekilde çevirmeye teşvik edilecek. Hukuki veya idari nedenlerle yapılan veya bir hatalı cümlenin düzeltilmesi için yapılan veya topluluk görüşüne yanıt olarak yapılan değişiklikler için en azından 3 gün ek bildirim sağlayacağız.

Zaman zaman bu Kullanım Koşullarının değiştirilmesi gerekebileceğinden, bu tür değişiklikleri ve görüş bildirme fırsatını Proje websiteleri yoluyla ve [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/WikimediaAnnounce-l WikimediaAnnounce-L]  üzerinde bir bildiri ile duyuracağız. Ancak, bu Kullanım Koşullarının en güncel halini ([[foundation:Terms of use|Kullanım şartları]] adresinde mevcut) düzenli olarak incelemenizi rica ediyoruz. Yeni Kulanım Koşullarının bildirim ve inceleme döneminden sonra resmileşmesinden itibaren kullanılmaya devam etmesi tarafınızdan bu Kullanım Koşullarının kabulünü teşkil eder. Wikimedia Vakfı’nın ve sizin gibi diğer kullanıcıların korunması için, Eğer bu Kullanım Koşullarını kabul etmiyorsanız, hizmetlerimizi kullanamazsınız.

==18. Diğer Koşullar==

Bu Kullanım Koşulları sizinle bizim, Wikimedia Vakfı’nın,  arasında bir istihdam, mümessillik, ortaklık veya müşterek teşebbüs oluşturmaz. Eğer bizimle ayrı bir sözleşme imzalamadıysanız, sizinle aramızdaki tüm sözleşme bu Kullanım Koşulları’dır. Eğer bu Kullanım Koşulları ile sizinle aramızdaki bir yazılı sözleşme arasında çatışma varsa, imzalı sözleşme geçerli olacaktır.

Size e-posta, normal posta veya Proje web sitesinden bildirim yoluyla bu Kullanım Koşulları’ndaki değişikliklere ilişkin olanlar da dahil olmak üzere bildirim sağlayabileceğimizi kabul ediyorsunuz.

Eğer herhangi bir durumda bu Kullanım Koşulları’nın herhangi bir hükmünü uygulamaz ya da yerine getirmezsek, bu, o hükümden feragat değildir.

Aksi yazılı olarak tarafımızdan bildirilmedikçe,  bize veya topluluğu veya Wikimedia Projeleri ya da Proje sürümlerine sağladığınız hiçbir eylem, katkı veya fikirden ötürü karşılık beklentiniz yoktur.

Hiçbir hükmü bu Kullanım Koşullarının aksine olmasa da Biz (Wikimedia Vakfı) ve siz Proje veya Proje edisyonlarında kullanılan hiçbir ücretsiz lisansın geçerli koşul ve gereklerini, söz konusu ücretsiz lisansa bu Kullanım Koşulları ile  izin verilmişse değiştirmemeyi kabul edersiniz.

Bu Kullanım Koşulları İngilizce (ABD) olarak yazılmıştır. Bu Kullanım Koşullarının çevirilerinin doğru olduğunu umut etsek de orijinal İngilizce sürüm ile bir çeviri arasında herhangi bir anlam farkı olması durumunda, orijinal İngilizce versiyon önce gelir.

Eğer bu Kullanım Koşulları’nın herhangi bir hükmü veya bir hükmün bir kısmı yasaya aykırı, geçersiz veya uygulanamaz ise o hüküm ya da hükmün o kısmı bu Kullanım Koşulları’ndan ayrılacak ve mümkün olan azami ölçüde uygulanacak ve bu Kullanım Koşulları’nın diğer tüm hükümleri tüm gücü ve etkisi ile kalacaktır.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Teşekkürler!==

Bu Kullanım Koşulları'nı okumaya zaman ayırdığınız minnettarız ve sizi projelerimize katkı ve hizmetlerimizi kullanmak için aramızda görmekten dolayı çok memnunuz. Katkılarınızla sizler gerçekten büyük bir şeyin oluşturulmasına yardımcı oluyorsunuz - sadece aksi halde bunlara erişimi olmayacak milyonlarca kişiye eğitim ve bilgi sağlayan, ortaklaşa çalışma ile oluşturulmuş projeler bütününe değil, benzer düşünce yapısında çalışma arkadaşlarından oluşan çok asil bir amaca odaklanmış enerjik bir topluluğa katkı veriyorsunuz.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

''Highlighted for emphasis''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services.

You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

El nostro ruoƚo el xe cueƚo de ospitare alcuni de i più grandi Progetti di consultasion mondiaƚi, redati so baxe colaborativa, reperibiƚi [http://www.wikimedia.org/ chive]. Wikimedia Foundation, tutavìa, opera unicamente come servisio ospitante, mantenendo en esare l'infrastrutura e il cuadro organixativo che consente a i nòstri utenti de ampliare i Progeti Wikimedia atraverso contributi e modifiche personali. Poiché Wikimedia Foundation svolge un ruolo particolare, l'utente deve èsare consapevoƚe de alcuni aspeti de el raporto tra Wikimedia Foundation e l'utente steso, i Progetti e i altri utenti.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;'''Non assumemo on ruoƚo editoriaƚe.'''

Similmente, no apogemo nisuna opinion espresa atraverso i nòstri servisi, e no rappresentemo né garantimo la veridicità, l'accuratesa o l'afidabilità di nisun contenudo presentà da ƚa comunità. Al contrario, fornimo semplicemente aceso a i contenudi che i to coƚeghi utenti i ga contribuìo a produre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Par chiaresa, con &quot;legi vigenti&quot; se intende cofà minimo le legi de i Stati Unidi d'America. A prescindere da'l fatto che Wikimedia Foundation posa no essere d'acordo con taƚi azioni, i redatori e i contributori i deve savere che alcune autorità ƚe poderia sercare de aplicare a i utenti ƚe legi de altri paexi, ivi comprese legi in vigore ne'l paexe di rexidensa dell'utente o del paexe indove 'l utente visualixa o modìfega i contenuti.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

'''''שטעלט זיך פאר א וועלט אין וואס יעדער מענטש קען זיך פריי מיטטיילן אין דעם סכום פון אלע וויסן. דאס איז אונזער התחייבות.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1.  אונזערע דינסטן==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==2. פריוואטקייט פאליסי==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.
&lt;/div&gt;

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

'''''Stel u 'n wêreld voor waarin elke mens vrylik kan deel in die som van alle kennis. Dit is ons verbintenis.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==1. Ons Dienste==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing.

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

'''''Ар бир адам бардык билимдин жыйындысынан эркин колдоно ала турган дүйнөнү элестетип көрүңүз. Бул биздин ниетибиз.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Кыялыбыз тууралуу]]

Викимедиага кош келиңиз! Викимедиа фонду (ошондой эле — «биз» же «биздин» же «Фонд») — дүйнөдөгү бардык адамдарды коомдук энчидеги же [[{{lwp|Free content}}|эркин лицензияга]] ылайык жарыяланган билимди топтоо жана жаратуу ишине тартуу, ал жааттагы мүмкүнчүлүктөрүн арттыруу жана андай билимдин дүйнө жүзү боюнча натыйжалуу жана акысыз жайылтуу [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|миссиясын]] көздөгөн, штаб-квартирасы АКШда (Калифорния штаты, Сан-Франциско ш.) жайгашкан коммерциялык эмес кайрымдуулук уюму.

Жигердүү жамаатыбызды колдоо үчүн көп тилдүү вики долбоорлорду жана алардын бөлүмдөрүн («[[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Викимедиа долбоорлору]]» барагында келтирилген) (мындан ары — Долбоорлор) иштеп чыгуу үчүн, ошондой эле аталган миссиянын алкагындагы башка аракеттерге керектүү инфратүзүм жана уюштуруучулук түзүм менен камсыз кылуудабыз. Долбоорлорубуздун билим берүүчү жана маалыматтык мазмунунун интернетте акысыз жана дайыма жеткиликтүүлүгүнө умтулабыз.

Сизди (мындан ары — «сиз» же «колдонуучу») Долбоорлорубуздун окурманы же түзөтүүчүсү катары тосуп жатканыбызга кубанычта болуп, Викимедиа жамаатына кошулууга чакырабыз. Бирок, катышуудан мурун, төмөнкү Колдонуу шарттарын окуп чыгып, аларга макул болушуңузду суранабыз (мындан ары — Колдонуу шарттары).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Ушул Колдонуу шарттарында Викимедиа фондунун кызматтары, колдонуучу катары сизге болгон мамилебиз жана жетекчиликке алынуучу укуктар менен милдеттер тууралуу айтылат. Эбегейсиз билим берүүчү жана маалыматтык мазмунду жайгаштыруу сиздей колдонуучулардын мээнети үчүн мүмкүн. Негизи, биз мазмунду жарыялабайбыз, көзөмөлдөбөйбүз же жок кылбайбыз (сейрек учурларды эске албаганда, мисалы, ушул Колдонуу шарттары сыяктуу саясаттарга ылайык, мыйзамдарды аткаруу үчүн же олуттуу зыян келтирүү коркунучу болгондо). Демек, редакциялык көзөмөл сиздин жана мазмунду жаратып, тескеген кесиптештериңиздин колунда.

Жамаат — долбоорлорду жана/же алардын сайттарын (мындан ары — долбоордун сайттары) талыкпай түзүп жана колдонуп жаткан колдонуучулардын тармагы — миссиябыздын максаттарына жетүүнүн негизги каражат. Жамаат Долбоорлорубузга жана Долбоорлорубуздун сайттарына салым кошуп, аларды тескегени жардам берет. Жамаат ошондой эле Долбоордун белгилүү бир бөлүмү (мисалы, Википедиянын тил бөлүмдөрү же көп тилдүү Викиказына) үчүн саясатты иштеп чыгуу жана ишке ашыруу боюнча маанилүү функцияны өзүнө алат .

Сизди — колдонуучуну салым кошуучу, түзөтүүчү же автор же катары кошулууга чакырабыз, бирок сиз биздин ар бир көз карандысыз долбоорлорубуздун жашоосун, анын ичинде бардык долбоорлордо колдонулган Жалпы жүрүм-турум кодексин аткарышыңыз керек. Биздин долбоорлордун эң чоңу — Википедия, бирок бизде ар кандай максаттар жана иштөө ыкмалары бар башка долбоорлор бар. Ар бир долбоордун ар бир бөлүмүндө өз бөлүмүнүн мазмунун түзүү жана башкаруу үчүн биргелешип иштеген түзөтүүчүлөрдүн жана текст же видео файлдардын авторлорунун жамааты бар. Сизди дагы ушул жамааттарга кошулуп, ушул долбоорлорду жакшыртуу үчүн алар менен кызматташууга чакырабыз. Биз эркин жеткиликтүү жана бардык материалдар үчүн ачык болууга умтулгандыктан, сиздин бардык олуттуу салымыңыз эркин лицензия шартында же коомдук энчиде болот.

Сиздин бардык салымдарыңыз, түзөтүүлөрүңүз жана Викимедиа мазмунун кайра колдонууңуз үчүн Америка Кошмо Штаттарынын мыйзамдары жана башка колдонууга ылайык мыйзамдар (анын ичинде сиз же сиздин салымдарыңыздын объектиси жайгашкан мыйзамдар) боюнча мыйзамдуу түрдө жооптуу экениңизди эстен чыгарбаңыз. Бул мазмунду жайгаштырууда, өзгөртүүдө же кайра колдонууда этият болуу маанилүү дегенди билдирет. Бул жоопкерчиликти эске алганда, бизде сиз эмне кыла албай турганыңызга байланыштуу айрым эрежелер бар, алардын көпчүлүгү сиздин жеке коргооңуз үчүн же сиз сыяктуу башка колдонуучулардын коргоосу үчүн. Биз сунуш кылган мазмун жалпы маалыматтык максаттарга гана арналган экенин унутпагыла. Ошондуктан кайсы бир маселе боюнча (медициналык, юридикалык же финансылык маселелер сыяктуу) адистердин кеңешине муктаж болсоңуз, адистердин жардамын издешиңиз керек. Биз дагы башка маанилүү билдирүүлөрдү жана жоопкерчиликтен баш тартуу жөнүндө билдирүүлөрдү камтыганбыз, ошондуктан ушул Колдонуу шарттарын толугу менен окуп чыгыңыз.

Тактык үчүн, башка уюмдар, мисалы, жергиликтүү Викимедиа бөлүмдөрү жана бирикмелери, бир эле миссияга катыша алышат, бирок мыйзамдуу түрдө көз карандысыз жана Викимедиа фондунан бөлүнүп турат. Фонд тарабынан белгилүү бир долбоордун веб-сайтында ыйгарым укуктуу тарап катары башкача көрсөтүлбөсө, башка уюмдар долбоордун веб-сайтынын же анын мазмунунун иштеши үчүн жооптуу эмес.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Кызматтарыбыз ==

Викимедиа фонду эркин көп тилдүү мазмундун өсүшүн, өнүгүшүн жана таралышын жана бул викиге негизделген Долбоорлордун толук мазмунду акысыз коомчулукка өткөрүүгө арналган. Биздин милдетибиз дүйнөдөгү эң ири биргелешкен редакциялык референциялык долбоорлордун айрымдарын өткөрүү, [//www.wikimedia.org бул жерден таба аласыз]. Бирок биз хостинг кызматын көрсөтүүчү катары гана иш алып барабыз, инфраструктураны жана уюштуруу базасын сактоо. Бул инфраструктура жана база колдонуучуларыбызга өзүлөрү мазмунду түзүү жана түзөтүү аркылуу Долбоорлорду түзүүгө мүмкүндүк берет. Ошондой эле биздин колдонуучуларга ошол мазмунду кайра колдонууга мүмкүнчүлүк берет. Биз кармаган инфраструктурада колдонуучуларга &quot;Проекттердеги&quot; мазмун менен программалык түрдө өз ара аракеттенүүгө жана кайра колдонууга мүмкүндүк берген атайын технологиялык инфраструктура жана мобилдик тиркемелер бар (&quot;Апликациялык программалоо интерфейси&quot; же &quot;АПИ&quot;) жана &quot;Апликациялар&quot; деп аталат.

Колдонуунун калган шарттары боюнча биздин кызматтар төмөнкүлөрдөн турат: [//www.wikimedia.org Биз жайгаштырган Долбоордун веб-сайттары], биз тейлеген технологиялык инфраструктура жана биздин Долбоорлорду тейлөө жана өркүндөтүү үчүн жайгашкан техникалык мейкиндиктер.

Биздин уникалдуу ролубуздун аркасында сиз, Долбоорлор жана башка колдонуучулар менен болгон мамилебизди карап жатканда бир нече нерсени билишиңиз керек:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Редакциялык ролду аткарбайбыз:''' долбоорлор биргелешип түзөтүлгөндүктөн, биз алып барган мазмундун басымдуу бөлүгүн Колдонуучулар камсыз кылышат жана редакциялык ролду аткарбайбыз. Демек, биз жалпысынан долбоордун веб-сайттарынын мазмунун көзөмөлдөбөйбүз же түзөтпөйбүз жана бул мазмун үчүн эч кандай жоопкерчилик тартпайбыз. Ошо сыяктуу эле, эгерде биз ачык-айкын башкача билдирбесек, биз кызматтарыбыз аркылуу айтылган эч кандай пикирди колдобойбуз жана долбоорлор боюнча берилген коомчулуктун мазмунунун чындыгын, тактыгын же ишенимдүүлүгүн чагылдырбайбыз же кепилдик бербейбиз.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Иш-аракеттериңиз үчүн жооптуусуз:''' сиз долбоорлорго түзөтүүлөрүңүз жана салымдарыңыз, долбоорлорго мазмунду кайра колдонуу, Апилерди колдонуу жана жалпысынан биздин кызматтарды колдонуу үчүн мыйзамдуу түрдө жооптуусуз. Өзүңүздү коргоо үчүн этият болуңуз жана кандайдыр бир колдонулуучу мыйзамдар боюнча кылмыш же жарандык жоопкерчиликке алып келиши мүмкүн болгон иш-аракеттерди жасоодон алыс болуңуз. Тактык үчүн, колдонулуучу мыйзам, жок дегенде, Америка Кошмо Штаттарынын жана Калифорния штатынын мыйзамдарын камтыйт. Башка өлкөлөр үчүн бул ар бир учурдун негизинде аныкталат. Биз мындай аракеттерге макул болбосо да, колдонуучуларга, айрыкча редакторлорго, салым кошкондорго жана авторлорго АКШнын бийлиги башка өлкөнүн мыйзамдарын, анын ичинде сиз жашаган же мазмунду көргөн же түзөтгөн жергиликтүү мыйзамдарды колдонууга аракет кылышы мүмкүн экендигин эскертебиз. Биз, адатта, мындай мыйзамдарды колдонууга каршы эч кандай коргоо, кепилдик, кол тийбестик же компенсация бере албайбыз.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Викимедиа фонду тарабынан уюштурулган долбоорлор мазмунду жазуу, түзөтүү жана кураторлук кылуу үчүн кызматташкан сиз сыяктуу колдонуучулардын жандуу жамаатынын аркасында гана бар. Биз бул жамаатка сиздин катышууңузду кубаныч менен тосуп алабыз. Биз сизди коомдогу башкалар менен болгон мамилелериңизде жарандык жана сылык болууга, ак ниеттүүлүк менен иш алып барууга жана бөлүшүлгөн долбоордун миссиясын өркүндөтүүгө багытталган түзөтүүлөрдү жана салымдарды жасоого үндөйбүз. Биз бардык колдонуучулардан биз өткөргөн бардык долбоорлордо коллегиалдуу, жарандык кызматташтыкка талаптарды белгилеген жүрүм-турумдун универсалдуу кодексин (&quot;Coc&quot;) карап чыгууну жана сактоону суранабыз.

Айрым иш-аракеттер, мыйзамдуу же мыйзамсыз, колдонулуучу мыйзам боюнча, башка колдонуучулар үчүн зыяндуу болушу жана биздин эрежелерди бузушу мүмкүн, ошондой эле айрым иш-аракеттериңиз сизге жоопкерчилик тартууга да алып келиши мүмкүн. Ошондуктан, өз коопсуздугуңуз жана башка колдонуучулардын коопсуздугу үчүн, биздин Долбоорлорду колдонуу менен же башка жол менен мындай иш-аракеттерге катыша албайсыз.

Жобонун ар кандай чыгарылыштарына тиешелүү саясаттарды түзүүдө жана аткарууда коомчулуктун негизги ролу бар. Викимедиа фондунда биз саясатты жана аны аткаруу боюнча коомдук чечимдерге сизди көп деле кийлигишпейт.

Ар бир долбоор, адатта, &quot;жардам&quot; же &quot;байланыш&quot; баракчаларын камтыйт, андан ары багыт алуу үчүн же көйгөйлөрдү билдирүү үчүн атайын шаймандар. Же болбосо, күмөн санасаңыз, коомчулуктун мүчөлөрүнөн жардам сурап, {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} же тилге ылайыктуу дарекке электрондук кат жөнөтсөңүз болот [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Ыктыярдуу жардам берүүчү тобу]].

Эгер сиз Фонд менен байланышып, көйгөй бар болсоңуз, анда биз, адатта, коомдук жетекчиликке ээ болгон механизмдер аны иликтеп, тиешелүү учурда аны кантип чечсе болорун изилдеп чыгабыз.

Адаттагы учурларда, долбоордун олуттуу бузулушу же кооптуу жүрүм-турумунан улам өзгөчө көйгөйлүү колдонуучуга же өзгөчө көйгөйлүү мазмунга кайрылуунун зарылдыгы пайда болушу мүмкүн же коомчулук бизден суранышы мүмкүн. Мындай учурларда биз өз эркибиз боюнча (же мыйзамдуу түрдө милдеттүү болсок) төмөнкүлөргө укугубузду сактап калабыз:

* Долбоорлорду же биздин кызматтарды колдонууңузду иликтөө (а) ушул Колдонуу шарттарынын, Долбоордун редакциялык саясатынын же башка колдонууга алынган мыйзамдын же саясатынын бузулушу болгонун аныктоо үчүн же (б) колдонууга тийиш болгон мыйзамдарды, укуктук процессти же тийиштүү өкмөттүк өтүнүчтү аткаруу үчүн; * Алдамчылыкты, жалган же текшерилгис маалыматты, коопсуздукту же техникалык маселелерди аныктоо, же колдонуучулардын колдоо өтүнүчтөрүнө жооп берүү үчүн; * Бул Колдонуу шарттарын бузган колдонуучунун салымдарына кирүүсүн четке кагуу, кайра кайтаруу, өчүрүү же чектөө;
* Колдонуучунун ушул Колдонуу шарттарын бузуу үчүн, анын ичинде колдонулуучу мыйзамдын укуктук принциптерине ылайык мыйзамсыз материалдарды кайра-кайра жайгаштыруу үчүн колдонуучуну түзөтүүдөн, салым кошкондон же киргизүүдөн тыюу салуу; * Бул Колдонуу шарттарынын бузуучу колдонуучуларга карата укуктук чараларды көрүү (укук коргоо органдарына билдирүүлөрдү камтыган); жана * Долбоордун веб-сайттарын алардын туура иштешин жеңилдетүү жана өзүбүздүн жана биздин колдонуучулардын, лицензия берүүчүлөрүбүздүн, өнөктөштөрүбүздүн жана коомчулуктун укуктарын, мүлк жана коопсуздугун коргоо максатында башка жол менен башкаруу.

Бул модерация амалдары программалык камсыздоо тарабынан программаланган же аткарылышы мүмкүн (мисалы, трафиктин агып кетишинен коргоо үчүн (&quot;кызматтан баш тартуу&quot;)). Мындай учурларда, колдонуучунун текшерүүсү адатта жеткиликтүү, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|талап боюнча]].

Биздин колдонуучуларыбыздын жана Долбоорлордун кызыкчылыгы үчүн, бул бөлүмгө ылайык, алардын эсеби же кирүүсү бөгөттөлгөн өзгөчө жагдайларда, биз ачык уруксат бербесе, алар ошол эле Долбоордо башка эсеп түзүүгө же колдонууга же ага кирүүгө умтулууга тыюу салынат.

Сиз коомчулук тарабынан белгилүү бир Долбоордук чыгарылыштар үчүн түзүлгөн талаштарды чечүү органдарынын (мисалы, арбитраждык комитеттер) акыркы чечимдерин аткарууга макулсуз; бул чечимдер конкреттүү Долбоордун чыгарылышынын саясатында белгиленгендей санкцияларды камтышы мүмкүн.

Аккаунттары же бир нече редакцияларына кирүү мүмкүнчүлүгү бөгөттөлгөн өзгөчө көйгөйлүү колдонуучулар бардык редакцияларда бөгөттөлүшү мүмкүн макул [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|глобалдык бөгөттөө саясаты]]. Башкармалыктын чечимдеринен же ушул колдонуу шарттарынан айырмаланып, долбоордун бир редакциясына же долбоордун бир нече редакциясына жайылтылышы мүмкүн болгон коомчулук тарабынан белгиленген саясаттар (мисалы, глобалдык тыюу салуу саясаты) тиешелүү коомчулук тарабынан өз жол-жоболоруна ылайык өзгөртүлүшү мүмкүн.

Бул жобо боюнча колдонуучунун эсебин же ага кирүүсүн бөгөт коюу же ага кирүүгө тыюу салуу ушул Колдонуу шарттарын 13-бөлүмүнө ылайык жүргүзүлөт.

Эгер сиз көйгөйлүү мазмунду билдирүүгө байланыштуу биз тийиштүү чараларды көргөн жокпуз деп ойлосоңуз же сиз талашып жаткан Фонддун модерациясына дуушар болсоңуз, анда [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|даттануу]] мүмкүнчүлүгү болушу мүмкүн.  Апелляция берүү жолдору жөнүндө башка маалымат сизге кароо учурунда же конкреттүү долбоордун жардам баракчаларында берилиши мүмкүн.

Биз колдонуучулардан же үчүнчү жактардан мыйзамсыз же башка жол менен көйгөй жараткан мазмун же жүрүм-турум жөнүндө же модераторлордун аракеттерине даттануу өтүнүчү менен билдирүүлөрдү же башка кат-кабарларды иштетүүнү (убактылуу же биротоло) токтото туруу укугун өзүбүзгө калтырабыз, эгерде мындай кат-кабарлар ак ниетсиз, кайталанма, негизсиз жана/же мазактоочу болсо. Белгилүү бир шарттарда, сиздин электрондук почта дарегиңиз биздин электрондук почта тутумубузда да бөгөттөлүшү мүмкүн, андан кийин бул блокада учурунда биз менен кат алышууну кааласаңыз, биз менен [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|биздин почта дарегибизге]] байланышууңуз керек болот. Анча оор эмес учурларда (мисалы, бир же бир нече негизсиз даттануулар боюнча үч сылык электрондук кат), бул убактылуу болушу мүмкүн. Тез-тез же адепсиз билдирүүлөр туруктуу чараларды көрүүгө алып келет.

== 17. Ушул Колдонуу шарттарын өзгөртүү ==

Викимидия жамаатынын салымдары долбоорлордун өсүшү жана сакталышы үчүн маанилүү болгондой эле, биз да бул Колдонуу шарттарын колдонуу үчүн биздин колдонуучуларга кызмат кылуу үчүн коомчулуктун салымдары маанилүү деп эсептейбиз. Ошондой эле бул келишимдин адилеттүү болушу үчүн абдан маанилүү. Ошондуктан, биз ушул Колдонуу шарттарын жана ушул Колдонуу шарттарын кийинки олуттуу өзгөртүүлөрдү комментарий берүү үчүн коомчулукка комментарий берүүнү сунуштайбыз, комментарий мөөнөтү аяктаганга чейин кеминде отуз (30) күн. Эгерде келечекте сунушталган кайра карап чыгуу олуттуу болсо, анда сунушталган өзгөртүү боюнча котормону жок дегенде үч тилде жарыялагандан кийин (биздин каалообуз боюнча тандалган) комментарийлер үчүн кошумча 30 күндүк мөөнөттө убакыт бөлөбүз. Коомчулук сунушталган кайра карап чыгууну башка тилдерге ылайык которууга чакырылат. Мыйзамдык же административдик себептерден улам өзгөртүүлөрдү, туура эмес билдирүүнү оңдоо үчүн же коомдук пикирлерге жооп берүү үчүн өзгөртүүлөр үчүн биз жок дегенде үч (3) күндүк билдирүү беребиз.

Ушул Колдонуу шарттарын мезгил-мезгили менен өзгөртүү зарылдыгы келип чыгышы мүмкүн болгондуктан, биз мындай өзгөрүүлөр жөнүндө кабарлап, долбоордун веб-сайттарында, ошондой эле $ 1 билдирүү аркылуу комментарий берүү мүмкүнчүлүгүн беребиз. Бирок, биз мезгил-мезгили менен ушул колдонуу шарттарынын эң акыркы версиясын карап чыгууну суранабыз. Биздин кызматтарды колдонуунун жаңы шарттары кабарлоо жана текшерүү мөөнөтү аяктагандан кийин расмий болуп калгандан кийин сиздин мындан аркы колдонууңуз ушул колдонуу шарттарын сиз кабыл алганыңызды билдирет. Викимедиа фондун жана сизге окшогон башка колдонуучуларды коргоо максатында, Эгер сиз биздин колдонуу шарттарыбызга макул болбосоңуз, анда биздин кызматтардан пайдалана албайсыз.

== 18. Башка шарттар ==

Ушул Колдонуу шарттары сиз менен Викимедиа фондунун ортосунда жалдоо, агенттик, өнөктөштүк, биргелешкен көзөмөл же биргелешкен ишкана мамилелерин жаратпайт. Европа экономикалык аймагынын мыйзамдары, Улуу Британиянын мыйзамдары же сыяктуу концепциядагы башка мыйзамдар үчүн — кызматтарды колдонгондо Фонддун «атынан» иш алып барбайсыз. Биз менен өзүнчө келишимге кол койбосоңуз, ушул Колдонуу шарттары сиз менен биздин ортобуздагы бир гана түзүлгөн келишим болуп саналат. Ушул Колдонуу шарттары менен сиз менен биздин ортобузда кол коюлган жазуу жүзүндөгү келишимдин ортосунда кандайдыр бир карама-каршылыктар болгон учурда, кол коюлган келишим колдонулат.

Электрондук, кадимки почта, Долбоорлордо же Долбоордун сайттарында жарыялоо аркылуу сизди кулактандыра ала турганыбызга (анын ичинде Колдонуу шарттарындагы өзгөрүүлөр тууралуу) макулсуз.

Кандайдыр бир учурда ушул Колдонуу шарттарынын кандайдыр бир жобосун колдонбогонубуз же аткарылышын талап кылбаганыбыз, ал жобону жокко чыгарбайт.

Жазуу жүзүндө башкача макулдашпасак, бизге, жамаатка, Долбоорлорго же Долбоорлордун бөлүмдөрүнө кандай гана арналган иш-аракеттериңиз, салымыңыз же идеяңыз үчүн компенсация албаганыңызды түшүнөсүз.

Ушул Колдонуу шарттарынын карама-каршы карама-қаржыларына карабастан, биз (Викимедиа фонду) жана сиз ушул Колдонуу шарттарында уруксат берилгенде, Долбоорлорго же Долбоор чыгарылыштарына колдонулган ар кандай акысыз лицензиянын колдонулуучу шарттары жана талаптары өзгөрүлбөйт деп макул болосуз.

Бул шарттар англис тилинде жазылган. Биз ушул Колдонуу шарттарынын котормолору туура деп үмүттөнөбүз, бирок англис тилиндеги түп нуска менен котормонун ортосундагы мааниде кандайдыр бир айырмачылыктар болгондо, түп нускадагы англис тилиндеки котормо артыкчылык берет.

Эгерде ушул Колдонуу шарттарынын кайсы бир жобосу же анын бир бөлүгү мыйзамсыз, жок же аткарылгыс деп табылса, анда бул жобо же анын бир бөлүмү ушул Колдонуш шарттарынан ажыратылуучу деп эсептелет жана мүмкүн болушунча күчүнө киргизилет жана ушул Колдоношуу шарттарынын башка бардык жоболору толук күчүндө жана натыйжада калат.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Чоң рахмат! ==

Ушул Колдонуу шарттары окуп чыгууга убакыт бөлгөнүңүз үчүн ыраазыбыз жана долбоорлорубузга катышып, кызматтарыбызды колдонуп жатканыңызга абдан кубанычтабыз. Салымыңыз менен миллиондогон адамдарга билим берүүчү биргелешип түзүлгөн долбоорлорду гана эмес, бирок ошондой эле асыл максатты көздөгөн санаалаштардын жигердүү жамаатын да түзгөнгө жардам берип жатасыз.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Engaging in threats, stalking, spamming, vandalism, or harassment as described in the UCoC;
::* Transmitting chain mail, junk mail, or spam to other users;
::* Posting or modifying content with the intention to seriously harm others, such as deliberate inducements to self-harm, or deliberate triggering of epilepsy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).

You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:

* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing.

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

{{Help translate/Access to nonpublic personal data policy}}
{{info
| 1 = Dit beleid werd op 7 november 2017 goedgekeurd door de Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director onder de [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority|Bestuursdelegatie van beleidsbepalende bevoegdheid]] van 13 december 2016. Dit beleid dient als een uitbreiding van het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Beleid inzake toegang tot niet-openbare informatie]]
}}

Het beleid van de Wikimedia Foundation voor [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|toegang tot niet-openbare informatie]] is een door de raad goedgekeurd beleid dat minimumlimieten vaststelt voor degenen die de Foundation toegang geven tot gevoelige toegangsrechten zoals CheckUser, Oversight of VRT. Als onderdeel van het beleid moeten VRT-leden 16 jaar of ouder zijn en alle andere gevorderde rechthebbenden (zoals [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUsers]] of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Toezichthouders]]) moeten 18 zijn. Soms kunnen er vertrouwde gebruikers zijn die niet voldoen aan de normale leeftijdsvereisten en het verdienen om te worden beoordeeld op een mogelijke uitzondering op dit beleid. Als u in aanmerking wilt komen voor een uitzondering, kunt u {{email|ca|wikimedia.org}} e-mailen. Hieronder vindt u de algemene procedure die wordt gevolgd:

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
# De vrijstelling moet worden goedgekeurd door de juridische afdeling (general counsel of delegate). 
# De afdeling zaln de aanvrager beoordelen en de geschiktheid bepalen. 
# Na goedkeuring van Legal en CE zal de aanbeveling worden gedaan aan de uitvoerend directeur die de bevoegdheid behoudt om de uitzondering onder het bestuur te verlenen [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority|volgens het beleidsbepalend bevoegdheidsbeleid]]. 
# Na goedkeuring van de uitvoerend directeur moet de gebruiker slagen voor het gebruikelijke verkiezings- of selectieproces van de gemeenschap. 
# Gebruikers wordt gevraagd om zowel zichzelf als een ouder of voogd een aangepaste versie van de [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|Vertrouwelijkheidsovereenkomst]] die rechtstreeks naar hen zal worden verzonden als deze wordt goedgekeurd. Gebruikers worden gemarkeerd als minderjarig op het [[:m:Access to nonpublic personal data policy/Noticeboard|van toepassing mededelingenbord]].
&lt;/div&gt;

De '''toegang tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts''' helpt gebruikers bij het beschermen van de Wikimedia-projecten. Deze toegang verschilt van het hulpmiddel [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:IP Information tool guidelines|IP gegevens]] (&lt;small&gt;dat is in te stellen via de persoonlijke voorkeuren, [[Gebruiker:Ellywa|Ellywa]]&lt;/small&gt;). Gebruikers die niet hebben ingestemd met het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|beleid met betrekking tot de toegang tot niet-publieke gegevens]] moeten als voorwaarde voor deze toegang akkoord gaan met onderstaande richtlijnen.

== {{int string|Background}} ==

Wikimedia-projecten zijn het resultaat van de samenwerking van een wereldwijde gemeenschap van vrijwillige gebruikers. De projecten kunnen worden bewerkt door in te loggen met een Wikimedia-account, maar ook zonder in te loggen. Personen die bewerken zonder in te loggen doen dit met behulp van een tijdelijk account, dat geen persoonlijke gegevens bevat.

== {{int string|Purpose}} ==

De Wikimedia Foundation geeft bepaalde ingelogde gebruikers toegang tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts. Daarmee worden deze gebruikers in staat gesteld om mogelijke schendingen van het beleid van de Wikimedia Foundation of van het beleid van de lokale gebruikersgemeenschap af te dwingen of te onderzoeken. Deze toegang wordt gebruikt om vandalisme en spammen te bestrijden, om te controleren op sokpopmisbruik en om verstoring van Wikimedia-projecten te beperken.
{{anchor|Use and disclosure}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Use_and_disclosure_of_temporary_account_IP_addresses&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Gebruik en openbaarmaking van IP-adressen  van tijdelijke accounts==

Het beleid beperkt de toegang tot de IP-adressen van niet-ingelogde bewerkers. Dit zorgt ervoor dat de informatie alleen wordt gebruikt voor die werkprocessen op de Wikimedia-projecten die zijn gericht op het tegengaan van misbruik. Gebruikers die toegang hebben tot IP-adressen mogen deze niet delen met iemand die niet over dezelfde toegangsrechten beschikt, tenzij openbaarmaking toelaatbaar is volgens de onderstaande richtlijnen. 

Buitenstaanders die toegang willen tot IP-adressen zouden contact kunnen opnemen met gebruikers die deze rechten hebben, in een poging om deze gegevens te verkrijgen. Gebruikers met toegang tot de IP-gegevens moeten zich hiervan bewust zijn en moeten alert zijn op de mogelijkheid van verdachte verzoeken.

&lt;span id=&quot;Use_of_temporary_account_IP_addresses&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Gebruik van de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts ===

Het gebruik van de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts is uitsluitend bedoeld voor het onderzoek naar of het bestrijden van vandalisme, misbruik, spam, pesten, projectverstoring en andere schendingen van het beleid van de Wikimedia Foundation of die van de gemeenschap. Toegang tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts zou alleen naar behoefte moeten plaatsvinden en in overeenstemming met deze richtlijnen, met het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|privacybeleid]] en met verder beperkend lokaal beleid dat van toepassing is op het betreffende project.

De toegang mag niet worden gebruikt als politiek controlemiddel, om druk uit te oefenen op bewerkers of als een dreiging richting een andere bewerker bij een inhoudelijke discussie. Er moet een geldige reden zijn om een tijdelijke gebruiker te onderzoeken. Houd er rekening mee dat het gebruik van meerdere tijdelijke accounts niet verboden is, zolang deze niet in strijd met het beleid gebruikt worden (een voorbeeld van een schending van het beleid is het omzeilen van een blokkade of ban).

Personen met toegang tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts kunnen inzien vanaf welke IP-adressen een tijdelijk account bewerkingen heeft uitgevoerd op een Wikimedia-wiki. Ook kunnen de logboeken worden bekeken van dit account. Deze informatie wordt slechts een korte periode bewaard (momenteel 90 dagen). De IP-adressen die in de periode daarvoor zijn gebruikt worden niet weergegeven. De IP-adressen zijn toegankelijk door op &quot;Toon IP&quot; te klikken op de logpagina's, op de geschiedenispagina's en in de recente wijzigingen. De IP-adressen zijn ook beschikbaar via het IP-informatiehulpmiddel.

De volgende acties worden geregistreerd:
* Als een gebruiker in zijn of haar voorkeuren &quot;IP toegang&quot; aanzet of juist afzet.
* Het zichtbaar maken van een IP-adres van een tijdelijk account.
* Het maken van een overzicht van tijdelijke accounts die samenhangen met een IP-adres

&lt;span id=&quot;Disclosure&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Openbaarmaking ===

Vermijd zoveel mogelijk de openbaarmaking van persoonlijke informatie, zelfs als een gebruiker het beleid schendt. Gebruik liever de gebruikersnamen van de tijdelijke accounts in plaats van de IP-adressen bekend te maken, of geef informatie met termen zoals &quot;hetzelfde netwerk&quot; of &quot;niet hetzelfde netwerk.&quot;

Voor het veilig houden van de projecten en om andere gebruikers te beschermen kan het nodig zijn om IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts aan derden bekend te maken. Deze informatie mag alleen gedeeld worden in de volgende gevallen:
* Gebruikers met toegang tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts kunnen de IP-adressen vertrouwelijk bekendmaken aan andere gebruikers, mits deze dezelfde toegangsrechten hebben.
* Gebruikers met toegang tot IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts mogen de IP-adressen ook bekendmaken op passende locaties, mits bedoeld voor onderzoek naar en handhaving van mogelijke schendingen van onze [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|gebruiksvoorwaarden]], van ons privacybeleid, ander beleid van de Wikimedia Foundation of beleid van de gebruikersgemeenschap. Geschikte locaties voor dergelijke openbaarmakingen zijn pagina's gewijd aan [[wikidata:Q10854626#sitelinks-wikipedia|langdurig misbruik]] (LTA). Als een dergelijke openbaarmaking later niet meer nodig is, moet het IP-adres onmiddellijk worden verwijderd met behulp van &quot;REVDEL&quot; (revision deletion).
* Gebruikers die akkoord zijn gegaan met het op zichzelf staande [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|beleid met betrekking tot de toegang tot niet-publieke gegevens]] kunnen ook IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts openbaar maken zoals toegestaan op basis van dat dat beleid.
Als IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts bekend moeten worden gemaakt in verband met [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Threats of harm|bedreigingen met letsel of schade]], stuur dan onmiddellijk een e-mail naar emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org met details over het verzoek, zodat het kan worden beoordeeld voor mogelijke openbaarmaking door de Foundation.

Gebruikers kunnen elk formeel of informeel verzoek dat zij ontvangen, en dat niet valt onder het goedgekeurde doel van dit beleid, rapporteren aan de juridische afdeling van de Wikimedia Foundation via legal{{@}}wikimedia.org. Dit is inclusief een verzoek via een dagvaarding van een deurwaarder, een verzoek van een overheidslichaam, een advocaat of van welke andere externe partij dan ook.
{{anchor|requirements-for-access}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Minimum_requirements_for_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Minimale vereisten voor toegang ==

Toegang is alleen beschikbaar voor ingelogde gebruikers. Om toegang te krijgen, moeten gebruikers voldoen aan de vereisten die van toepassing zijn op hun gebruikersgroep, die hieronder zijn beschreven. Gebruikers die in aanmerking komen voor zowel wereldwijde toegang als lokale toegang, hoeven alleen te voldoen aan de vereisten voor wereldwijde toegang. Het recht om IP-adressen te onthullen kan niet worden gebundeld met gebruikersrechten die worden gegeven aan gebruikersgroepen die niet in de lijst staan, gebruikers die lid zijn van groepen die niet in de lijst staan, kunnen toegang krijgen door te voldoen aan de vereisten die zijn gesteld voor [[Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Other users|andere gebruikers]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Global_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Wereldwijde toegang ===

Leden van bepaalde wereldwijde gebruikersgroepen en van bepaalde lokale gebruikersgroepen hebben voor het uitoefenen van hun rol toegang nodig tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts over alle Wikimediaprojecten. De eisen die aan de toegang worden gesteld zijn afhankelijk van de gebruikersgroep. Gebruikers die lid zijn van meer dan een van de onderstaande gebruikersgroepen hoeven slechts te voldoen aan de eisen van een van die groepen. Bijvoorbeeld, personen die zowel lid zijn van de ombudsgroep als van de groep met toegang tot misbruikfilters zullen automatisch toegang krijgen via de eisen voor Ombudsgroep. De toegang van zo een gebruiker geldt dan voor beide rollen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Stewards,_Ombuds,_U4C,_and_Staff&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Stewards, Ombudsman, U4C en Personeel ====

Toegang wordt automatisch verleend aan gebruikers die lid zijn van een van de volgende wereldwijde gebruikersgroepen: [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Stewards]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombudsman]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Coördinatiecommissie van de Universele Gedragscode (U4C)]] en personeel. Stewards, ombudsmannen en U4C-leden worden geacht de IP-adressen te behandelen in overeenstemming met deze richtlijnen en met het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|beleid met betrekking tot de toegang tot niet-publieke gegevens]]. Van personeel wordt verwacht dat ze de IP-adressen behandelen in overeenstemming met hun geheimhoudingsverklaring.

&lt;span id=&quot;Global_sysops,_Global_rollbackers,_and_Abuse_filter_maintainers_and_helpers&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Wereldwijde moderatoren, wereldwijde terugdraaiers, beheerders en helpers van de misbruikfilters ====

Leden van de gebruikersgroepen [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global sysops|wereldwijde moderatoren]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global rollback|wereldwijde terugdraaiers]], [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abuse filter maintainers|onderhouders van misbruikfilters]], en [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abuse filter helpers|helpers met misbruikfilters]] kunnen zich wereldwijd aanmelden via [[Special:GlobalPreferences]]. Deze gebruikers moeten dan akkoord gaan met deze richtlijnen voor het gebruik van de IP-adressen, met als enig doel het onderzoeken of voorkomen van vandalisme, misbruik of andere schendingen van het beleid van de Wikimedia Foundation of de gemeenschap. Als alternatief kunnen deze gebruikers ervoor kiezen om zich niet wereldwijd aan te melden; wereldwijde toegang wordt dan niet verleend zolang de gebruikers niet ook lid zijn van wereldwijde gebruikersgroepen die automatisch toegang hebben.

&lt;span id=&quot;CheckUsers_and_Oversighters&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== CheckUsers en Oversighters ==

Gebruikers die lid zijn van de gebruikersgroepen lokale [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUsers]] of [[m:Oversight policy|Oversighters]] kunnen zich wereldwijd aanmelden via [[Special:GlobalPreferences]]. Van deze gebruikers wordt verwacht dat ze de IP-adressen behandelen in overeenstemming met deze richtlijnen en het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|beleid met betrekking tot de toegang tot niet-publieke gegevens]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Local_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Lokale toegang ===

Bepaalde gebruikers hebben toegang nodig tot IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts op individuele &quot;lokale&quot; Wikimedia-projecten met als doel om die projecten te beschermen. De vereisten voor toegang zijn afhankelijk van de lokale gebruikersgroep. Gebruikers die lid zijn van meer dan één van de onderstaande gebruikersgroepen hoeven alleen te voldoen aan de vereisten van een van hun gebruikersgroepen. Bijvoorbeeld, iemand die zowel lid is van de lokale CheckUsers als van de gebruikersgroep Bureaucraten krijgt automatisch toegang via de CheckUsers vereisten; de toegang van zo'n gebruiker geldt dan steeds voor beide rollen.

&lt;span id=&quot;CheckUsers_and_Oversighters&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== CheckUsers en  Oversighters ====

Lokale toegang wordt automatisch verleend aan gebruikers die lid zijn van de lokale gebruikersgroepen [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUsers]] en [[m:Oversight policy|Oversighters]]. Van deze gebruikers wordt verwacht dat ze de IP-adressen behandelen in overeenstemming met deze richtlijnen en het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access to nonpublic personal data policy|Beleid met betrekking tot de toegang tot niet-publieke gegevens]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Administrators_and_Bureaucrats&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Moderatoren en bureaucraten ====

Lokale [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Administrator|moderatoren]] en [[m:Bureaucrat|bureaucraten]] kunnen zich aanmelden via [[Special:Preferences]] op het lokale project en moeten er dan mee instemmen om de IP-adressen te gebruiken in overeenstemming met deze richtlijnen, uitsluitend voor het onderzoeken of voorkomen van vandalisme, misbruik of andere schendingen van het beleid van de Wikimedia Foundation of het lokale beleid van de gemeenschap. Als alternatief kunnen deze gebruikers ervoor kiezen om zich niet aan te melden; er wordt dan geen toegang verleend zolang de gebruikers niet ook lid zijn van gebruikersgroepen die automatisch toegang hebben.

&lt;span id=&quot;Other_users&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Andere gebruikers ====

Gebruikers die geen lid zijn van een van de bovenstaande gebruikersgroepen kunnen toch toegang nodig hebben tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts bij [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolling|controle van bewerkingen]], onderzoek naar [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Sock puppetry|sokpoppen]] of ander werk om de Wikimedia-projecten te beschermen.

Om toegang te krijgen tot IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts, moeten deze gebruikers:
# {{anchor|point-3}}Voldoen aan alle volgende algemene voorwaarden:
## Het gebruikersaccount is minimaal 6 maanden oud, en
## het gebruikersaccount heeft minimaal 300 bewerkingen uitgevoerd op het lokale project.
# Stuur een toegangsverzoek aan de lokale beheerders, bureaucraten waar lokale consensus dicteert,&lt;ref group=Note&gt;Gemeenschappen die de standaard willen veranderen van beheerders naar bureaucraten, moeten een [[phab:maniphest/task/edit/form/139/|verzoek indienen via Phabricator]]&lt;/ref&gt; of aan de stewards. Er kunnen extra eisen worden gesteld als deze het verzoek beoordelen, zoals:
## Een minimum van 600 bewerkingen in de hoofdnaamruimte van het lokale project,
## Aangetoond bewijs dat u in het verleden gewerkt heeft aan het controleren van wijzigingen,
## Een verkiezing door de lokale gemeenschap, of
## Alle andere eisen, voor zover deze eisen niet lager zijn dan de algemene eisen.
# Opt-in via de [[Special:Preferences|Voorkeuren]] op het lokale project, en
# Akkoord gaan met het gebruik van de IP-adressen in overeenstemming met deze richtlijnen, uitsluitend voor het onderzoeken of voorkomen van vandalisme, misbruik of andere schendingen van het beleid van de Wikimedia Foundation of de gemeenschap, en tevens de risico's en verantwoordelijkheden begrijpen die aan deze rechten zijn verbonden.
Om toegang te behouden tot de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts, moeten gebruikers in deze categorie ten minste één keer binnen een periode van 365 dagen een in het logboek geregistreerde actie uitvoeren.&lt;ref group=Note&gt;Een gelogde actie is alles wat zou verschijnen in Special:Log&lt;/ref&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Exceptions_to_minimum_requirements&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
===== Uitzonderingen van de minimale vereisten =====

Stewards mogen uitzonderingen maken op de bovenstaande criteria. Dan moet de gebruiker wel een rechtmatige grond hebben voor de toegang tot IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts, zoals een doelstelling die redelijkerwijs niet kan worden behandeld door andere gebruikers met toegang.

&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_access&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Toegang verwijderen ==

Gebruikers die geblokkeerd zijn voor het bewerken van een Wikimedia-project verliezen de toegang tot IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts op dat project.

Leden van een gebruikersgroep met automatische toegang die deze toegangsrechten niet willen hebben, moeten contact opnemen met ca{{@}}wikimedia.org.
[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Stewards]] zijn bevoegd om de toegang van een gebruiker te beëindigen als wordt vastgesteld dat de gebruiker de IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts heeft misbruikt of als de consensus van de lokale gemeenschap de verwijdering beveelt. 

[[Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy#Other users|Andere gebruikers]] die handmatig toegang hebben gekregen, kunnen op elk moment vrijwillig hun toegang opgeven via hun [[Special:Preferences|Voorkeuren]]. Als wordt vastgesteld dat een gebruiker die handmatig toegang heeft gekregen, misbruik heeft gemaakt van tijdelijke IP-adressen van zijn account, of als de consensus van de lokale gemeenschap verwijdering voorschrijft, dan zijn de gebruikers die gemachtigd zijn om deze toegang te verlenen, ook gemachtigd om de toegang te beëindigen.

Verzoeken aan stewards om de toegang tot tijdelijke IP-adressen van accounts te verwijderen of te wijzigen, kunnen worden geplaatst op [[:m:Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access|deze pagina]]. Wanneer er in de gemeenschap consensus is over het intrekken van de toegangsrechten van een gebruiker, moet er een link naar de discussie worden gegeven.

Indien nodig kan er een verzoek om beoordeling door [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Trust &amp; Safety]] gedaan worden via ca{{@}}wikimedia.org, en kan de toegang worden verwijderd in overeenstemming met het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|beleid voor Office-acties]]. Klachten over inbreuken op het [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|privacybeleid]] zullen ter beoordeling worden voorgelegd aan de [[:m:Ombuds commission|ombudscommissie]].

Om verantwoording af te leggen over het gebruik van de toegang, wordt een logboek bijgehouden van de gebruikers die toegang hebben tot IP-adressen van tijdelijke accounts.

'''Kujutage ette maailma, kus iga inimene saab vabalt jagada kõiki oma teadmisi. See on meie pühendumus.''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Meie nägemuse avaldus]]

Tere tulemast Wikimediasse! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (edaspidi „meie“ või „fond“) on mittetulunduslik heategevusorganisatsioon, mille peakorter asub Ameerika Ühendriikides Californias San Franciscos ja mille missiooniks on anda inimestele kogu maailmas volitused koguda ja arendada sisu tasuta litsentsi alusel või avalikus omandis ning levitada seda tõhusalt ja ülemaailmselt tasuta.

Meie dünaamilise kogukonna toetamiseks pakume olulist infrastruktuuri ja organisatsioonilist raamistikku mitmekeelsete wiki projektide ja nende väljaannete arendamiseks (nagu on selgitatud meie [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia projektide lehel]]) (edaspidi „projektid”) ja muid püüdlusi, mis seda missiooni täidavad. Püüame teha ja hoida projektide haridus- ja teabesisu Internetis tasuta ja pidevalt kättesaadavana.

Me tervitame teid („teie” või „kasutaja”) projektide lugeja või kaastöötajana ja soovitame teil liituda Wikimedia kogukonnaga. Enne osalemist palume teil siiski lugeda läbi järgmised kasutustingimused („kasutustingimused”) ja nendega nõustuda.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Need kasutustingimused räägivad teile meie avalikest teenustest Wikimedia Foundationis, meie suhetest teiega kui kasutajaga ning õigustest ja kohustustest, mida me koos peame järgima. Me majutame erakordse hulga hariduslikku ja informatiivset sisu, mis kõik on kaasa aidanud ja teinud võimalikuks sellised kasutajad nagu sina. Üldiselt me ei panusta, jälgi ega kustuta sisu (üksikute eranditega, näiteks selliste poliitikate alusel nagu need kasutustingimused, õigusnõuete täitmiseks või tõsiste kahjude kiireloomuliste ohtude korral). See tähendab, et toimetuskontroll on teie ja teie kaaskasutajate kätes, kes sisu loovad ja haldavad.

Kogukond - projektide ja / või nende veebisaitide (edaspidi „projekti veebisaidid”) pidevalt ehitavate ja kasutatavate kasutajate võrgustik - on peamine vahend, mille kaudu missiooni eesmärgid saavutatakse. Kogukond aitab kaasa meie projektide ja projektide veebisaitide haldamisele. Kogukond täidab ka kriitilise tähtsusega funktsiooni projekti konkreetsete väljaannete (nt Wikipedia projekti erikeelsete väljaannete või Wikimedia Commonsi mitmekeelse väljaande) poliitikate loomisel ja jõustamisel.

Teie, kasutaja, olete teretulnud liituma kaastöötajana, toimetajana või autorina, kuid peate järgima eeskirju, mis reguleerivad iga sõltumatut projekti väljaannet, sealhulgas universaalset käitumiskoodeksit (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), mis kehtivad kõigile projekti väljaannetele. Suurim meie projektidest on Wikipedia, kuid me haldame ka teisi projekte, millest igaühel on erinevad eesmärgid ja töömeetodid. Igal projekti väljaandel on meeskond, kuhu kuuluvad kaastöötajad, toimetajad või autorid, kes töötavad koos, et luua ja hallata selle projekti väljaande sisu. Olete teretulnud nende meeskondadega liituma ja nendega koostööd tegema, et neid projekte paremaks muuta. Kuna oleme pühendunud sellele, et muuta sisu avalikkusele vabalt kättesaadavaks, tehakse teie poolt pakutav sisu kättesaadavaks tasuta litsentsi alusel või avalikustatakse.

Pidage meeles, et olete juriidiliselt vastutav kõigi oma kaastööde, muudatuste ja Wikimedia sisu taaskasutamise eest Ameerika Ühendriikide seaduste ja muude kohaldatavate seaduste alusel (mis võivad hõlmata seadusi, kus teie või teie kaastöö teema asub). See tähendab, et sisu postitamisel, muutmisel või taaskasutamisel on oluline olla ettevaatlik. Seda vastutust arvestades on meil mõned reeglid selle kohta, mida te ei saa teha, millest enamik on kas teie enda või teiste sarnaste kasutajate kaitsmiseks. Pidage meeles, et meie hostitav sisu on mõeldud ainult üldiseks teavitamiseks, nii et kui vajate konkreetse küsimuse jaoks ekspertnõu (nt meditsiinilised, õiguslikud või finantsküsimused), peaksite otsima sobiva spetsialisti abi. Lisame ka muid olulisi teatisi ja lahtiütlemisi, seega lugege need kasutustingimused tervikuna läbi.

Selguse huvides on teised organisatsioonid, näiteks kohalikud [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|Wikimedia peatükid]] ja ühendused, kes võivad osaleda samas missioonis, siiski õiguslikult sõltumatud ja Wikimedia Foundationist eraldi. Kui sihtasutus ei ole antud projekti veebisaidil volitatud osapoolena teisiti öelnud, ei vastuta need teised organisatsioonid projekti veebisaidi või selle sisu toimimise eest.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Meie teenused ==

Wikimedia Foundation on pühendunud tasuta mitmekeelse sisu kasvu, arendamise ja levitamise soodustamisele ning nende vikipõhiste projektide täieliku sisu avalikkusele tasuta majutamisele. Meie roll on korraldada maailma suurimaid koostöös toimetatud võrdlusprojekte, mille leiate siit. Kuid me tegutseme ainult veebimajutusteenuse pakkujana, säilitades infrastruktuuri ja organisatsiooni raamistiku. See infrastruktuur ja raamistik võimaldavad meie kasutajatel luua projekte, aidates kaasa ja redigeerides sisu ise. Samuti võimaldavad need meie kasutajatel seda sisu uuesti kasutada. Meie hooldatav infrastruktuur sisaldab spetsiaalset tehnoloogilist infrastruktuuri, mis võimaldab kasutajatel programmide abil suhelda ja taaskasutada projektide sisu (edaspidi „rakenduse programmeerimisliides” või „API-d”) ja mobiilirakendusi.

Nagu kasutatakse ülejäänud kasutustingimustes, koosnevad meie teenused järgmisest: Projekti veebisaidid, mida me majutame, tehnoloogiline infrastruktuur, mida me säilitame, ja kõik tehnilised ruumid, mida me oma projektide hooldamiseks ja täiustamiseks majutame.

Meie ainulaadse rolli tõttu on paar asja, mida peaksite teadma, kui kaalute meie suhteid teiega, projektidega ja teiste kasutajatega:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Me ei võta toimetaja rolli''': Kuna projekte redigeeritakse ühiselt, pakuvad valdav osa meie hostitavast sisust kasutajad ja me ei võta toimetaja rolli. See tähendab, et me üldjuhul ei jälgi ega redigeeri projekti veebisaitide sisu ning me ei vastuta selle sisu eest. Samamoodi, kui me ei ole sõnaselgelt teisiti öelnud, ei toeta me oma teenuste kaudu väljendatud arvamusi ning me ei esinda ega garanteeri projektide kohta esitatud kogukonna sisu tõepärasust, täpsust ega usaldusväärsust.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Vastutate oma tegude eest''': Te olete juriidiliselt vastutav oma muudatuste ja kaastööde eest projektides, projektide sisu taaskasutamise, API-de kasutamise ja meie teenuste üldisema kasutamise eest. Omaenda kaitseks peaksite olema ettevaatlik ja vältima mistahes meetmete kasutuselevõtmist, mis võivad kohaldatavate seaduste alusel kaasa tuua kriminaal- või tsiviilvastutuse. Selguse huvides hõlmab kohaldatav seadus vähemalt Ameerika Ühendriikide ja California osariigi seadusi. Teiste riikide puhul määratakse see juhtumipõhiselt. Kuigi me ei pruugi selliste toimingutega nõustuda, hoiatame kasutajaid – eriti toimetajaid, kaastöötajaid ja autoreid –, et USA-välised ametiasutused võivad püüda teie suhtes kohaldada muid riigi seadusi, sealhulgas kohalikke seadusi, kus te elate või kus sisu vaatate või redigeerite. Üldiselt ei saa me pakkuda selliste seaduste kohaldamise vastu mingit kaitset, garantiid, puutumatust ega hüvitisi.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Privaatsuspoliitika ==

Palume teil [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|meie privaatsuspoliitika tingimused]] läbi vaadata, et oleksite teadlik sellest, kuidas me teie andmeid kogume ja kasutame.

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;span id=&quot;3._Content_We_Host&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 3. Sisu, mida me hostime ==
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Mõned materjalid võivad olla taunitavad või ekslikud''': Kuna majutame laias valikus sisu, mida toodavad või koguvad kaaskasutajad, võite kokku puutuda materjaliga, mis on teie arvates solvav, ekslik, eksitav, väärmärgistatud või muul viisil taunitav. Seetõttu palume teil kasutada meie teenuste kasutamisel tervet mõistust ja nõuetekohast otsustusvõimet.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Projektide sisu on mõeldud ainult üldiseks teavitamiseks''': Kuigi meie projektides on palju teavet, mis puudutab professionaalseid teemasid, sealhulgas meditsiinilisi, juriidilisi või finantsküsimusi, on see sisu esitatud ainult üldise teavitamise eesmärgil. Seda ei tohiks võtta professionaalse nõuandena. Palun otsige sõltumatut professionaalset nõustamist kelleltki, kes on litsentsitud või kvalifitseeritud vastavas valdkonnas, selle asemel, et tegutseda ühes projekti veebisaidil sisalduva mis tahes teabe, arvamuse või nõuannete põhjal.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 4. Teatud tegevustest hoidumine ==

Wikimedia Foundationi hallatavad projektid eksisteerivad ainult tänu selliste kasutajate dünaamilisele kogukonnale nagu teie, kes teevad koostööd sisu kirjutamiseks, redigeerimiseks ja parandamiseks. Meil on hea meel, et osalete selles kogukonnas. Soovitame teil kogukonna teistega suheldes olla viisakas, tegutseda heas usus ning teha muudatusi ja panustada ühise projekti missiooni edendamiseks. Palume kõigil kasutajatel üle vaadata ja [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|järgida universaalset käitumiskoodeksit]] („UCoC“), mis sätestab nõuded kollegiaalsele ja tsiviilkoostööle kõigis projektides, mida me võõrustame.

Teatud tegevused, olenemata sellest, kas need on kohaldatavate õigusaktide alusel seaduslikud või ebaseaduslikud, võivad olla teistele kasutajatele kahjulikud ja rikkuda meie reegleid ning mõned tegevused võivad samuti vastutusele võtta. Seetõttu ei tohi te enda ja teiste kasutajate kaitseks osaleda sellistes tegevustes meie projektides ega neid muul viisil kasutada. Need tegevused hõlmavad järgmist:

'''Teiste ahistamine ja kuritarvitamine'''
::* ähvarduste, jälitamise, rämpsposti, vandalismi või ahistamisega tegelemine, nagu on kirjeldatud UCoC-s;
::* ketiposti, rämpsposti või rämpsposti edastamine teistele kasutajatele;
::* sisu postitamine või muutmine eesmärgiga tõsiselt kahjustada teisi, näiteks tahtlikud ajendid enesevigastamisele või epilepsia tahtlik vallandamine.
:'''Teiste isikute privaatsuse rikkumine'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* teiste privaatsusõiguste rikkumine Ameerika Ühendriikide seaduste või muude kohaldatavate seaduste alusel (mis võivad hõlmata seadusi, kus te elate või kus sisu vaatate või redigeerite);
::* isiku tuvastamist võimaldava teabe küsimine privaatsuse ahistamise, kasutamise või rikkumise eesmärgil või mis tahes reklaami- või kaubanduslikul eesmärgil, mida Wikimedia Foundation ei ole selgesõnaliselt heaks kiitnud; ja 
::* isiku tuvastamist võimaldava teabe küsimine alla 18-aastastelt või alla 18-aastastelt isikutelt, kui olete üle 18-aastane, ebaseaduslikul eesmärgil või alaealiste tervist või heaolu käsitlevate kohaldatavate seaduste rikkumisel.
&lt;/div&gt;
:'''Valeavaldused, kellegi teisena esinemine või pettus'''
::* Tahtlikult või teadlikult postitades sisu, mis kujutab endast laimu või laimamist Ameerika Ühendriikide seaduste alusel;
::* sisu postitamine või muutmine eesmärgiga teisi petta või eksitada;
::* üritades kujutada endast teist kasutajat või üksikisikut, eksitades teie seotust mis tahes üksikisiku või ettevõttega, varjates teie seotust mis tahes üksikisiku või ettevõttega, kui nende tingimuste või kohaliku projektipoliitika kohaselt on avaldamine nõutav, või kasutades teise isiku nime või kasutajanime, kavatsusega petta; ja
::* pettusega tegelemine.
:'''Intellektuaalomandi õiguste rikkumine'''
::* Autoriõiguste, kaubamärkide, patentide või muude kohaldatavate seaduste kohaste omandiõiguste rikkumine.
:'''Meie teenuste väärkasutamine muudel ebaseaduslikel eesmärkidel'''
::* lapspornograafia või muu sisu postitamine, mis rikub lapsporno või laste seksuaalse kuritarvitamise materjali suhtes kohaldatavat seadust, või teiste jaoks sellise materjali loomise või jagamise julgustamine, hooldamine või propageerimine;
::* postitamine või kauplemine sündsusetu materjaliga, mis on kohaldatava õiguse kohaselt ebaseaduslik; ja
::* teenuste kasutamine viisil, mis ei ole kooskõlas kehtivate seadustega.
:'''Rajatiste häiriv ja ebaseaduslik väärkasutamine'''
::* sisu postitamine või levitamine, mis sisaldab viirusi, pahavara, usse, Trooja hobuseid, pahatahtlikku koodi või muud seadet, mis võib kahjustada meie või teiste kasutajate tehnilist infrastruktuuri või süsteemi;
::* projekti veebisaitide automatiseeritud kasutamine, mis on teenuste kuritarvitavad või häirivad, rikuvad vastuvõetavaid kasutuspõhimõtteid, kui need on saadaval või mille Wikimedia kogukond ei ole heaks kiitnud;
::* teenuste häirimine, koormates põhjendamatult API-d, projekti veebisaiti või konkreetse projekti veebisaidiga ühendatud võrke või servereid;
::* teenuste häirimine, koondades mis tahes projekti veebisaidid suhtluse või muu liiklusega, mis ei viita tõsisele kavatsusele kasutada projekti veebisaiti nimetatud eesmärgil;
::* teadlik juurdepääs, võltsimine või kasutamine mis tahes meie mitteavalikes piirkondades meie arvutisüsteemides ilma loata; ja
::* meie tehniliste süsteemide või võrkude haavatavuse uurimine, skannimine või katsetamine, välja arvatud juhul, kui on täidetud kõik järgmised tingimused:
:::* sellised meetmed ei kuritarvita ega häiri põhjendamatult meie tehnilisi süsteeme ega võrgustikke;
:::* sellised tegevused ei ole isikliku kasu saamiseks (välja arvatud teie töö jaoks krediidi andmine);
:::* te teatate mistahes haavatavustest asjakohastele arendajatele (või parandate seda ise); ja
:::* te ei tee selliseid toiminguid pahatahtliku või hävitava kavatsusega.
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
:'''Tasulised sissemaksed ilma avalikustamiseta'''

::* Te peate avalikustama iga tööandja, kliendi, kavandatud kasusaaja ja seose seoses mis tahes panusega, mille eest te saate või mida te ootate hüvitist saama. Te peate selle avalikustama vähemalt ühel järgmistest viisidest:
:::* avaldus teie kasutajalehel,
:::* avaldust kõnelehel, mis on kaasas mis tahes tasuliste sissemaksetega, või
:::* mistahes makstud sissemaksetega kaasnevas redigeerimiskokkuvõttes olev avaldus.
::* Lisaks, kui teete Wikipedias projektide reklaami redigeerimisteenuste avaliku postitamise mistahes kompensatsiooni eest, peate avalikustama kõik Wikipedia kontod, mida olete selle teenuse jaoks kasutanud või kasutate kolmanda osapoole teenuse avalikus postitamises.
::* Kohaldatav õigus või projektispetsiifilised eeskirjad ja sihtasutuse eeskirjad ja suunised, näiteks need, mis käsitlevad huvide konflikte, võivad tasulisi sissemakseid veelgi piirata või nõuda üksikasjalikumat avalikustamist. Näiteks Wikimedia kaubamärkide (määratletud edaspidi jaotises 6) rikkumine tasuliste redigeerimisteenuste reklaamimiseks, varem asjakohaselt avaldatud tasuliste muudatuste avalikustamise eemaldamine või väljalogitud tasuline redigeerimine viisil, mis muudab piisava avalikustamise praktiliseks võimatuseks, rikub seda jaotist.
::* Wikimedia projekti kogukond võib võtta vastu alternatiivse tasulise sissemakse avalikustamise poliitika, mis võib käesolevat jaotist täiendada või asendada. Kui projekt võtab vastu alternatiivse avalikustamispoliitika, võite selle poliitika täita selles jaotises esitatud nõuete asemel (pealkiri „Tasulised kaastööd ilma avalikustamiseta”), kui panustate sellesse konkreetsesse projekti.

::Lisateabe saamiseks lugege meie [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|KKK-d tasuliste sissemaksete avaldamise kohta]].


Kompensatsiooni saavate kasutajate avalikustamata redigeerimine tekitab ebamõistliku koormuse vabatahtlikele toimetajatele, kes uurivad ja jõustavad kogukonna poliitikat. Seetõttu nõustute avalikustamata tasulise redigeerimisega seotud selle jaotise rikkumiste korral esitama siduva „Med-Arb” („turundusettevõtte vahendus”), nagu on kirjeldatud käesolevate kasutustingimuste jaotises 14.

Jätame endale õiguse kasutada oma jõustamiskaalutlusõigust seoses käesolevate kasutustingimuste 4. jaotise sätetega. Vajaduse korral võib nende tingimuste jõustamine hõlmata meetmeid, mida ei ole Wikimedia Foundationi [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions| büroo tegevuspoliitikas loetletud]]. Kui jõustamine on vajalik uutel asjaoludel, teeme jõupingutusi hiljemalt ühe (1) aasta jooksul, et uuendada büroo tegevuspoliitikat uut tüüpi tegevuse kataloogimiseks.

&lt;span id=&quot;5._Password_Security&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 5. Salasõna turvalisus ==

Teie vastutate oma salasõna ja muude turvavolituste kaitsmise eest ning ei tohi neid kunagi kolmandatele isikutele avaldada.

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;span id=&quot;6._Trademarks&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 6. Kaubamärgid ==

Kuigi teil on projekti veebisaitide sisu taaskasutamiseks märkimisväärsed vabadused, on oluline, et Wikimedia Foundationis kaitseksime oma kaubamärgiõigusi, et saaksime kaitsta oma kasutajaid petturlike impersonaatorite eest. Seetõttu palume teil austada meie kaubamärke. Kõik Wikimedia Foundationi kaubamärgid kuuluvad Wikimedia Foundationile ning meie ärinimede, kaubamärkide, teenusemärkide, logode või domeeninimede igasugune kasutamine peab olema kooskõlas käesolevate kasutustingimustega ja meie [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy| kaubamärgipoliitikaga]].

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Sisu litsentsimine ==

Vabade teadmiste ja vaba kultuuri ühiste kasvatamiseks peavad kõik projektide või projektide veebisaitidesse panustavad kasutajad andma üldsusele laialdased õigused oma kaastööde vabaks levitamiseks ja taaskasutamiseks, kui see on nõuetekohaselt omistatud ning sama vabadus taaskasutamiseks ja levitamiseks antakse mistahes tuletatud teostele. Kooskõlas meie eesmärgiga pakkuda võimalikult laiale avalikkusele tasuta teavet, nõuame, et kogu esitatud sisu oleks vajaduse korral litsentsitud nii, et see oleks vabalt taaskasutatav kõigile, kes sellele juurde pääsevad.

Nõustute järgmiste litsentsimisnõuetega:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Tekst, millele teil on autoriõigus:''' Kui esitate teksti, millele teil on autoriõigus, nõustute litsentsima seda:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] rahvusvaheline litsents („CC BY-SA 4.0”) ja
*[//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] („GFDL“) (versioonita, ilma invariantsete osadeta, esikaanega tekstidega või tagakaanega tekstidega).

Kasutajad võivad järgida kas ühte litsentsi või mõlemat.&lt;br /&gt;
Ainus erand on see, kui projekti väljaanne või funktsioon nõuab teistsugust litsentsi. Sellisel juhul nõustute litsentsima mistahes teksti, mille lisate projekti väljaande või funktsiooni määratud konkreetse litsentsi alusel.

Pange tähele, et need litsentsid lubavad teie kaastööde kaubanduslikku kasutamist, kui need kasutusviisid vastavad vastavate litsentside tingimustele. Kui teil on CC BY-SA 4.0-ga hõlmatud Sui generis andmebaasiõigused, loobute nendest õigustest. Näitena tähendab see, et fakte, mida te projektidesse lisate, võib vabalt ilma omistamiseta uuesti kasutada.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Autorluse omistamine''': Autorluse omistamine on nende litsentside oluline osa. Me peame seda viite tegemiseks, kui viide on tehtud - autoritele nagu teie. Teksti koostamisel nõustute olema viidatud mistahes alljärgneval viisil:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hüperlinki (kui võimalik) või URL-i kaudu artiklile, mille koostamisele olete kaasa aidanud (kuna igal artiklil on ajaloo leht, kus on loetletud kõik kaasautorid, autorid ja toimetajad);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hüperlingi (kui võimalik) või URL-i kaudu alternatiivsele, vabalt ligipääsetavale stabiilsele veebikoopiale, mis vastab asjakohasele litsentsile ja viitab autoritele viisil, mis on samaväärne projekti veebisaidil tehtud viitega; või&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kõigi autorite loendi kaudu (kuid pange tähele, et kõiki autorite loendeid võib filtreerida, et välistada väga väikesed või ebaolulised kaastööd).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Teksti importimine: Võite importida teksti, mille olete mujalt leidnud või mille olete teistega koostanud, kuid sellisel juhul kinnitate ja garanteerite, et tekst on saadaval tingimustel, mis ühilduvad CC BY-SA-ga (või nagu eespool selgitatud, muu litsents, kui projekti väljaanne või funktsioon seda erandkorras nõuab). Ühilduvate litsentside loendit vt Creative Commons. Te ei tohi importida sisu, mis on saadaval ainult GFDL-i alusel.&lt;br /&gt;

Nõustute, et kui impordite teksti CC litsentsi alusel, mis nõuab autorluses omistamist, peate autori(te)le mõistlikul viisil viitama. Kui sellist viitamist tehakse tavaliselt lehe ajaloo kaudu (nt Wikimedia sisemine kopeerimine), piisab viitamisest teksti importimisel lehe ajaloos salvestatud redigeerimiskokkuvõttes. Autorluse omistamise nõuded on mõnikord liiga sekkuvad konkreetsetesse asjaoludesse (olenemata litsentsist) ja võib esineda juhtumeid, kus Wikimedia kogukond otsustab, et imporditud teksti ei saa sel põhjusel kasutada.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Mittetekstiline meedia:''' Projektide mittetekstiline meedia on saadaval mitmesuguste erinevate litsentside alusel, mis toetavad üldist eesmärki võimaldada piiramatut korduskasutust ja ümberjaotamist. Mittetekstimeediumi panustamisel nõustute järgima selliste litsentside nõudeid, nagu on kirjeldatud meie litsentsimispoliitikas, ja samuti täitma konkreetse projekti väljaande või funktsiooni nõudeid, millesse panustate. Lisateavet mittetekstimeedia panuse kohta Wikimedia Commonsile leiate ka Wikimedia Commonsi litsentsimispoliitikast.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Litsentsi tagasivõtmist ei toimu:''' Välja arvatud juhul, kui see on teie litsentsiga kooskõlas, nõustute, et te ei tühista ega taotle ühepoolselt ühtegi litsentsi, mille olete nende kasutustingimuste alusel andnud projektidele või funktsioonidele kaasa aidanud tekstisisu või mittetekstimeedia jaoks, isegi kui lõpetate meie teenuste kasutamise.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Avaliku domeeni sisu:''' Avalikus omandis olev sisu on teretulnud. Siiski on oluline, et kinnitaksite sisu avaliku domeeni staatust Ameerika Ühendriikide seaduste ja muude riikide seaduste alusel, nagu nõuab konkreetne projekti väljaanne. Kui lisate sisu, mis on üldkasutatav, garanteerite, et materjal on tegelikult üldkasutatav, ja nõustute seda asjakohaselt märgistama.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Taaskasutamine''': Meie poolt hostitava sisu taaskasutamine on teretulnud, kuigi on olemas erandeid „õiglase kasutamise” alusel loodud sisu või sarnaste erandite kohta kohaldatava autoriõiguse seaduse alusel. Igasugune korduskasutamine peab vastama aluseks olevale litsentsi(de)le.&lt;br /&gt;

Kui taaskasutate või levitate Wikimedia kogukonna poolt välja töötatud tekstilehte, nõustute autorluse omistamisega mistahes järgmisel viisil:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hüperlinki (kui võimalik) või URL-i kaudu artiklile, mille koostamisele olete kaasa aidanud (kuna igal artiklil on ajaloo leht, kus on loetletud kõik kaasautorid, autorid ja toimetajad);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hüperlingi (kui võimalik) või URL-i kaudu alternatiivsele, vabalt ligipääsetavale stabiilsele veebikoopiale, mis vastab asjakohasele litsentsile ja viitab autoritele viisil, mis on samaväärne projekti veebisaidil tehtud viitega; või&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;kõigi autorite loendi kaudu (kuid pange tähele, et kõiki autorite loendeid võib filtreerida, et välistada väga väikesed või ebaolulised kaastööd).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Kui tekstis sisalduv sisu imporditakse teisest allikast, on võimalik, et sisu on litsentsitud kooskõlas CC BY-SA litsentsiga, kuid mitte GFDL-ga (nagu on kirjeldatud eespool &quot;Teeksi impordimine&quot;). Sellisel juhul nõustute järgima vastavat CC BY-SA litsentsi ja teil ei ole võimalust seda GFDL alusel uuesti litsentsida. Selleks et teada saada, millist litsentsi on vaja sisule, mida soovite uuesti kasutada või levitada, peaksite läbi vaatama lehekülje allpool, lehekülje ajalugu ja arutelulehekülge.

Lisaks märge, et välistest allikatest pärit ja projekti importimiseks kaasatud tekst võib olla litsentsi all, millega lisatakse lisatunnistamise nõuded. Kasutajad nõustuvad selgelt märkma need täiendavad määramisnõuded. Projekti puhul võivad need nõuded olla näiteks banneris või muudes märkustes, milles märgitakse, et osa või kogu sisu on algselt avaldatud mujal. Kui on olemas selliseid nähtavaid märke, peaksid neid uuesti kasutatavad kasutajad säilitama.

Te nõustute, et te ei kasuta tekstivälist meediaid, kui olete nõus järgima kehtivat litsentsi, mille alusel töö on kättesaadavaks tehtud (mis saab teada teha, kui klikkida töö peal ja vaadata selle kirjeldusleheküljel lisentsingute ja/või vaadata selle töö jaoks kohaldatavat allikasidet). Kui kasutate uuesti sisu, mida me hoistame, nõustute järgima asjakohaseid attribuutsiooni nõudeid, mis on seotud aluseks oleva litsentsi või litsentsiga.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Muudatused või täiendused''' materjalile, mida te taaskasutate: Projekti veebisaidilt saadud teksti muutmisel või täienduste tegemisel nõustute litsentsima muudetud või lisatud sisu vastavalt CC BY-SA 4.0 või uuemale versioonile (või nagu eespool selgitatud, muu litsentsi, kui konkreetne projekti väljaanne või funktsioon seda erandkorras nõuab).&lt;br /&gt;

Projekti veebisaidilt saadud mistahes mittetekstimeediumi muutmisel või täiendamisel nõustute litsentsima muudetud või lisatud sisu vastavalt mistahes litsentsile, mille alusel töö on kättesaadavaks tehtud.&lt;br /&gt;

Nii tekstisisu kui ka mittetekstimeedia puhul nõustute selgelt märkima, et algset tööd on muudetud. Kui kasutate tekstisisu uuesti vikis, piisab, kui märkida lehe ajaloos, et olete imporditud teksti muutnud. Iga levitatava koopia või muudetud versiooni kohta nõustute lisama litsentsiteate, milles on kirjas, millise litsentsi alusel töö välja antakse, koos hüperlingi või URL-iga litsentsi tekstile või litsentsi koopiale.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Wikimedia Foundation soovib tagada, et meie majutatavat sisu saavad teised kasutajad uuesti kasutada, kartmata vastutust, ja et see ei riku teiste omandiõigusi. Õigluses meie kasutajate, samuti teiste loojate ja autoriõiguste omanike suhtes on meie poliitika vastata väidetava rikkumise teadetele, mis vastavad digitaalse aastatuhande autoriõiguse seaduse (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA) formaalsustele. DMCA kohaselt lõpetame asjakohastel asjaoludel oma süsteemi ja võrgu nende kasutajate ja kontoomanike tegevuse, kes on meie projektide ja teenuste korduvad rikkujad.

Kuid me mõistame ka seda, et mitte iga mahavõtmise teade ei kehti või on heas usus. Sellistel juhtudel soovitame kasutajatel tungivalt esitada vastuväited, kui nad usuvad asjakohaselt, et DMCA eemaldamisnõue on kehtetu või sobimatu. Lisateabe saamiseks selle kohta, mida teha, kui arvate, et DMCA teade on valesti esitatud, võite soovi korral tutvuda [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen andmebaasi] veebisaidiga.

Kui olete sellise sisu omanik, mida ühes projektis ilma teie loata valesti kasutatakse, võite taotleda sisu eemaldamist, esitades DMCA all teate. Sellise taotluse esitamiseks saatke meile e-kiri aadressil {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} või saatke [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|meile e-kiri meie määratud agendile]].

Teise võimalusena võite esitada taotluse meie kogukonnale, kes tegeleb sageli autoriõigusega seotud küsimustega kiiremini ja tõhusamalt kui DMCA-s ette nähtud protsess. Sellisel juhul võite postitada teatise, milles selgitatakse teie autoriõigusega seotud muresid.

Vastutate ainuisikuliselt mis tahes kolmandate osapoolte veebisaitide või ressursside kasutamise eest. Kuigi projektid ja projekti veebisaidid sisaldavad linke kolmandate osapoolte veebisaitidele ja ressurssidele, ei toeta me nende kättesaadavust, täpsust ega nendega seotud sisu, tooteid või teenuseid (sealhulgas, kuid mitte ainult, viiruseid või muid keelavaid funktsioone) ja meil ei ole kohustust sellist kolmanda osapoole sisu jälgida.

== 10. Veebisaitide haldamine ==

Kogukonnal on peamine roll erinevate projektiväljaannete suhtes kohaldatavate poliitikate loomisel ja jõustamisel. Wikimedia Foundationis sekkume harva kogukonna otsustesse poliitika ja selle jõustamise kohta.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
On võimalik teavitada meid ebaseaduslikust sisust või sisust, mis rikub meie kasutustingimusi (sh kõiki eeskirju ja muid dokumente, mis on lisatud viitena) muudel põhjustel, võttes meiega [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|otse ühendust]]. Siiski saate tavaliselt esitada taotluse otse projekti kogukonnale: see võib olla tõhusam ja kooskõlas meie projektide eesmärgiga anda kasutajakogukonnale võimalus.
&lt;/div&gt;


Iga projekt annab tavaliselt „abi&quot; või „Kontakt&quot; lehekülgi täiendavate juhiste saamiseks või konkreetsete probleemidest teatamise vahendid. Teise võimalusena – kui kahtlete – võite küsida kogukonna liikmetelt abi, saates e-kirja aadressile info@wikimedia.org või keelepõhisema aadressi vabatahtlike [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|reageerimismeeskonna lehelt]]. Pange tähele, et neid postkaste jälgivad projektide kasutajad, mitte sihtasutus. Selle tulemusena ei tohiks neid ähvardada ega väljastada õiguslikke nõudeid.

Kui võtate probleemi osas ühendust sihtasutusega, uurime tavaliselt, kas ja kuidas olemasolevad kogukonna juhitud mehhanismid saavad seda uurida ja vajaduse korral lahendada.

Ebatavalisel juhul võib tekkida vajadus või kogukond võib paluda meil tegeleda eriti probleemse kasutajaga või eriti problemaatilise sisuga olulise projekti häirimise või ohtliku käitumise tõttu. Sellistel juhtudel jätame endale õiguse oma äranägemise järgi (või kui see on seaduslikult kohustuslik):

*uurida, kas te kasutate projekte või meie teenuseid, (a) et teha kindlaks, kas on toimunud nende kasutustingimuste, projekti väljaandmise poliitika või muu kohaldatava seaduse või poliitika rikkumine, või (b) järgida mis tahes kohaldatavat seadust, õigusmenetlust või asjakohast valitsuse taotlust;
*tuvastada, ennetada või muul viisil käsitleda pettusi, valesid või kontrollimatuid andmeid, turvalisust või tehnilisi probleeme või vastata kasutajatoe taotlustele;
*keelduda, taastada, keelata või piirata juurdepääsu nende kasutajate materjalidele, kes rikuvad käesolevaid kasutustingimusi;
*keelata kasutajal redigeerida või kaasa aidata või blokeerida kasutaja kontot või juurdepääsu kasutustingimusi rikkuvatele toimingutele, sealhulgas õigusvastase materjali korduvale postitamisele kohaldatava seaduse alusel kooskõlas inimõiguste põhimõtetega;
*võtta nende kasutajate suhtes kasutusele õiguslikke meetmeid, kes rikuvad käesolevaid kasutustingimusi (sh aruanded õiguskaitseasutustele); 
*ja hallata muul viisil projekti veebisaite, mis on mõeldud nende nõuetekohase toimimise hõlbustamiseks ning meie ja meie kasutajate, litsentsiandjate, partnerite ja avalikkuse õiguste, vara ja turvalisuse kaitsmiseks.

Neid sihtasutuse modereerimistegevusi võib teavitada või teostada tarkvara (nt liiklusummiku („Teenusest keeldumine“) kaitse). Sellistel juhtudel on inimläbivaatamine tavaliselt kättesaadav [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|taotluse alusel]].

Meie kasutajate ja projektide huvides on äärmuslikel asjaoludel, et igal isikul on selle jaotise alusel blokeeritud oma konto või juurdepääs, keelatud neil luua või kasutada teist kontot või taotleda juurdepääsu samale projektile, kui me ei anna selleks selgesõnalist luba. Piiramata kogukonna autoriteeti, ei keela sihtasutus ise kasutajal kasutaja kontot või juurdepääsu redigeerida, kaasa aidata või blokeerida ainult hea usu kriitika tõttu, mis ei too kaasa nende kasutustingimuste või kogukonna poliitika vastaselt rikkumist.

Wikimedia kogukond ja selle liikmed võivad tegutseda ka siis, kui seda lubavad konkreetse projekti väljaande suhtes kohaldatavad kogukonna või sihtasutuse eeskirjad, sealhulgas nende põhimõtete rikkujate hoiatamine, uurimine, blokeerimine või keelamine. Nõustute täitma vaidluste lahendamise organite lõplikke otsuseid, mille kogukond on konkreetsete projektiväljaannete jaoks kehtestanud (nt vahekohtukomiteed); need otsused võivad hõlmata konkreetse projekti väljaande poliitikas sätestatud sanktsioone.

Eriti probleemsed kasutajad, kellel on olnud kontosid või juurdepääs blokeeritud mitmele projekti väljaandele, võivad vastavalt [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|ülemaailmsele keelupoliitikale]] keelata kõik projekti väljaanded. Erinevalt juhatuse resolutsioonidest või käesolevatest kasutustingimustest võib asjaomane kogukond muuta kogukonna kehtestatud poliitikat, mis võib hõlmata ühte projekti väljaannet või mitut projektide väljaannet (nt ülemaailmne keelupoliitika).

Konto või juurdepääsu blokeerimine või kasutaja keelustamine käesoleva sätte alusel peab toimuma kooskõlas kasutustingimuste jaotisega 13.

Kui arvate, et me ei ole rahuldavalt tegutsenud probleemse sisuaruande alusel või kui teile on tehtud sihtasutuse modereerimise toiming, mille soovite vaidlustada, võib teil olla võimalik esitada apellatsioonkaebus. Teile võidakse sel ajal või projektispetsiifilistel abilehtedel selgitada ka muud teavet apellatsiooniteede kohta.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Jätame endale õiguse peatada (ajutiselt või alaliselt) kasutajate või kolmandate isikute aruannete või muu kirjavahetuse käsitlemine, olenemata sellest, kas tegemist on väidetavalt ebaseadusliku või muul viisil problemaatilise sisu või käitumisega, või taotleda modereerimistegevuste peale kaebuse esitamist, kui selline kirjavahetus toimus halva usu, korduva, põhjendamatu ja/või kuritarvitavana. Asjakohastel asjaoludel võib teie e-posti aadress olla isegi meie e-posti süsteemis (e-posti süsteemides) blokeeritud ja seejärel peate meiega ühendust võtma meie postiaadressil, kui soovite selle ploki ajal meiega täiendavalt ühendust võtta. Vähem tõsiste juhtumite korral (nt kuni kolm viisakat e-kirja ühe või mitme kasuliku kaebuse kohta) on see tõenäoliselt ajutine. Sagedasemad või kuritahtlikumad teated põhjustavad tõenäolisemalt püsivaid meetmeid.

&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Lõpetamine ==

Kuigi loodame, et jääte projektidesse ja panustate sellesse jätkuvalt, saate meie teenuste kasutamise igal ajal lõpetada. Teatud (loodetavasti ebatõenäoliste) asjaolude korral võib olla vajalik, et kas meie ise või Wikimedia kogukond või selle liikmed (nagu on kirjeldatud jaotises 10) lõpetaksid osa või kõik meie teenused, lõpetaksid need kasutustingimused, blokeeriksid teie konto või juurdepääsu või keelaksid teid kui kasutajat. Kui teie konto või juurdepääs mis tahes põhjusel blokeeritakse või muul viisil lõpetatakse, ei mõjuta see teie avalikke kaastöid ja teie tegevuste aruannet projektide kohta (sh mistahes kirjavahetust, mille olete meile saatnud) (olenevalt kohaldatavatest poliitikatest) ja võite siiski meie avalikele lehtedele juurde pääseda ainult selleks, et lugeda projektides avalikult kättesaadavat sisu. Sellisel juhul ei pruugi teil siiski olla juurdepääsu oma kontole või sätetele. Olenemata muudest käesolevate kasutustingimuste sätetest jätame endale õiguse teenused igal ajal peatada või lõpetada, põhjusega või ilma, etteteatamiseta või ette teatamata. Isegi pärast teie kasutamise ja osalemise keelustamist, blokeerimist või muul viisil peatamist jäävad need kasutustingimused kehtima asjakohaste sätete suhtes, sh jaotised 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9–16 ja 18.

&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;'''Rõhuasetus'''

Loodame, et teiega ei teki tõsiseid lahkarvamusi, kuid vaidluse korral soovitame teil pöörduda vaidluste lahendamise menetluste või mehhanismide poole, mida pakuvad projektid või projekti väljaanded ja Wikimedia Foundation. Kui soovite esitada meie vastu õigusnõuet, nõustute esitama ja lahendama selle eranditult Californias San Francisco maakonnas asuvas osariigi või föderaalkohtus. Samuti nõustute, et käesolevaid kasutustingimusi ning kõiki õiguslikke nõudeid, mis võivad teie ja meie vahel tekkida, reguleerivad California osariigi seadused ja kohaldatavas ulatuses Ameerika Ühendriikide seadused (ilma et see viitaks kollisiooninormide põhimõtetele). Nõustute alluma Californias San Francisco maakonnas asuvate kohtute jurisdiktsioonile ja nõustute kõigis meie või käesolevate kasutustingimustega seotud õigustoimingutes või menetlustes.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Selle tagamiseks, et vaidlusi lahendatakse varsti pärast nende tekkimist, nõustute, et olenemata mistahes vastupidisest seadusest või õigusaktist, tuleb mistahes nõue või hagi põhjus, mis teil võib olla tekkinud meie teenuste või käesolevate kasutustingimuste kasutamisest või nendega seotud, esitada kohaldatavas piirangute põhikirjas või, kui see on varasem, siis üks (1) aasta pärast seda, kui asjakohased faktid sellise nõude või hagi põhjuse aluseks võisid olla avastatud mõistliku hoolsusega (või igavesti keelatud).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Nagu on kirjeldatud käesolevate kasutustingimuste 4. jaotises, nõustute lahendama tasutud kaastööga seotud rikkumised ilma turundusettevõtte vahendamiseta sihtasutuse äranägemisel. Turundusettevõtte vahendamised on siduvad vahendusmenetlused, kus pool- või täispäevase istungjärgu lõpus otsustab lepitaja õiguslikult siduva otsusega kõik vaidlusalused küsimused, mis jäävad lahendamata. Need toimuvad koosolekutel telekonverentsi või videokonverentsi teel. Kui isiklik kohtumine on vajalik, toimub turundusettevõtte vahendamine San Francisco maakonnas Californias. Pooled jagavad kõik vahendamise/vahendamisega seotud tasud ja kulud võrdselt.

Te nõustute turundusettevõtte vahendamise osana tegema sihtasutusega koostööd, sealhulgas esitades õigeaegselt kõik teie valduses olevad dokumendid, mis on seotud teie avalikustamata tasuliste redigeerimistegevustega, sealhulgas kasutatud kontod, mõjutatud artiklid ja sellised teenused ostnud kliendid.

Turundusettevõtte vahendusi reguleerib föderaalne vahekohtuseadus, kui vahendajast saab vahekohtunik. Võitnud osapoolel on õigus nõuda tagasi oma advokaaditasud (sealhulgas kõik tasud, mis on vajalikud turundusettevõtte vahendamise kohaldatavuse kindlaksmääramiseks ja siduva tulemuse jõustamiseks) ning kõik kulud, mis on seotud tema õiguste uurimise ja jõustamisega. Poolt võib pidada „võitvaks” isegi siis, kui see ei ole iga esitatud nõude puhul edukas.

Kui mingil põhjusel leitakse, et kõik need turundusettevõtte vahendusnõuded on jõustamatud, nõustute lahendama kõik vaidlused, nagu on kirjeldatud selle jaotise alguses.

Nii nagu Wikimedia kogukonna panus on projektide kasvuks ja hooldamiseks hädavajalik, usume, et kogukonna panus on nende kasutustingimuste jaoks oluline, et meie kasutajaid nõuetekohaselt teenindada. See on oluline ka õiglase lepingu sõlmimiseks. Seetõttu edastame need kasutustingimused ja nende kasutustingimuste olulised tulevased muudatused kogukonnale kommenteerimiseks vähemalt kolmkümmend (30) päeva enne kommenteerimisperioodi lõppu. Kui kavandatav tulevane muudatus on oluline, esitame kommentaaride jaoks veel 30 päeva pärast kavandatava paranduse tõlke postitamist vähemalt kolmes keeles (valitakse meie äranägemisel). Kogukonda julgustatakse tõlkima kavandatud parandusettepanekut vajaduse korral teistesse keeltesse. Seaduslikel või administratiivsetel põhjustel muudatuste tegemiseks, ebatäpse avalduse parandamiseks või kogukonna kommentaaridele reageerimiseks edastame vähemalt kolm (3) päeva ette.

Kuna võib osutuda vajalikuks neid kasutustingimusi aeg-ajalt muuta, teavitame me sellistest muudatustest ja võimalusest projekti veebisaitide kaudu kommenteerida ning teavitame sellest WikimediaAnnounce-L-i kaudu. Siiski palume teil regulaarselt üle vaadata nende kasutustingimuste kõige ajakohasema versiooni. Kui jätkate meie teenuste kasutamist pärast uute kasutustingimuste saamist, muutub see pärast etteteatamis- ja ülevaatusperioodi ametlikuks, tähendab see nende kasutustingimustega nõustumist teie poolt. Wikimedia Foundationi ja teiste sarnaste kasutajate kaitsmiseks, kui te ei nõustu meie kasutustingimustega, ei saa te meie teenuseid kasutada.

'''''Samhlaigh domhan inar féidir le gach duine aonair suim an eolais go léir a roinnt faoi shaoirse. Sin ár dtiomantas.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Ár Ráiteas Físe]]

Fáilte go Wikimedia! Is eagraíocht charthanúil neamhbhrabúis é an Fondúireacht Wikimedia, Inc. (“muid” nó “muid” nó “Fondúireacht”), a bhfuil ceanncheathrú aici i San Francisco, California, Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá, a bhfuil sé mar [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|mhisean aici]]daoine ar fud an domhain a chumhachtú agus a fhostú chun ábhar a bhailiú agus a fhorbairt [[:w:ga:Ábhar saor|faoi cheadúnas saor]] in aisce nó san fhearann poiblí, agus é a scaipeadh go héifeachtach agus ar fud an domhain, saor in aisce.

Chun tacú lenár bpobal bríomhar, soláthraímid an creat riachtanach bonneagair agus eagrúcháin chun tionscadail vicí ilteangacha agus a n-eagráin a fhorbairt (mar a mhínítear ar ár [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|leathanach Tionscadail Wikimedia]]) (dá ngairtear “Tionscadail” leis seo) agus iarrachtaí eile a fhreastalaíonn ar an misean seo. Déanaimid ár ndícheall ábhar oideachasúil agus faisnéise ó na Tionscadail atá ar fáil ar an idirlíon a dhéanamh agus a choinneáil saor in aisce, go buan.

Cuirimid fáilte romhat (“tú” nó an “úsáideoir”) mar léitheoir, nó mar rannpháirtí na dTionscadal, agus molaimid duit a bheith páirteach sa phobal Wikimedia. Sula nglacann tú páirt, áfach, iarraimid ort na Téarmaí Úsáide seo a leanas (“Téarmaí Úsáide”) a léamh agus aontú leo.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Insíonn na Téarmaí Úsáide seo duit faoinár seirbhísí poiblí ag Fondúireacht Wikimedia, ár gcaidreamh leat mar úsáideoir, agus na cearta agus na freagrachtaí a threoraíonn muid araon. Tá méid dochreidte d’ábhar oideachasúil agus faisnéise againn, agus cuireann úsáideoirí cosúil leat féin leis agus is féidir é a dhéanamh. Go ginearálta, ní dhéanaimid ábhar a ranníoc, a mhonatóiriú ná a scriosadh (le heisceachtaí neamhchoitianta, mar shampla faoi bheartais mar na Téarmaí Úsáide seo, le haghaidh comhlíonadh dlíthiúil, nó nuair a bhíonn bagairtí práinneacha díobhála tromchúisí os ár gcomhair). Ciallaíonn sé seo go bhfuil rialú eagarthóireachta i lámha tú féin agus do chomh-úsáideoirí a chruthaíonn agus a bhainistíonn an t-ábhar.

Is é an pobal - an líonra úsáideoirí atá ag tógáil agus ag úsáid na dTionscadal agus / nó a láithreáin ghréasáin i gcónaí (dá ngairtear “Láithreáin Ghréasáin Tionscadail” leis seo) - an príomh-mhodh trína mbaintear spriocanna an mhisin amach. Cuireann an pobal lenár dTionscadail agus Láithreáin Ghréasáin Tionscadail agus cabhraíonn sé leo iad a rialú. Tugann an pobal faoin bhfeidhm chriticiúil a bhaineann le polasaithe a chruthú agus a fhorfheidhmiú d’eagráin shonracha an Tionscadail (ar nós na n-eagrán teanga éagsúla don Tionscadal Vicipéide nó d’eagrán ilteangach Wikimedia Commons).

Tá fáilte romhat, an t-úsáideoir, a bheith páirteach mar ranníocóir, eagarthóir, nó údar, ach ba chóir duit na beartais a rialaíonn gach ceann de na heagráin neamhspleácha Tionscadail a leanúint, lena n-áirítear an [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Cód Iompair Uilíoch]] (Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC), a bhaineann le gach eagrán Tionscadail. Is é Vicipéid an ceann is mó dár dTionscadail, ach óstálaimid Tionscadail eile freisin, gach ceann acu le cuspóirí agus modhanna oibre éagsúla. Tá foireann rannpháirtithe, eagarthóirí nó údair i ngach eagrán Tionscadail a oibríonn le chéile chun an t-ábhar ar an eagrán Tionscadail sin a chruthú agus a bhainistiú. Tá fáilte romhat a bheith páirteach sna foirne seo agus oibriú leo chun na Tionscadail seo a fheabhsú. Ós rud é go bhfuilimid tiomanta d’ábhar a chur ar fáil saor in aisce don phobal, cuirtear ábhar a chuireann tú ar fáil faoi cheadúnas saor in aisce nó scaoiltear é san fhearann poiblí.

Bí ar an eolas go bhfuil tú freagrach go dlíthiúil as do chuid ranníocaíochtaí, athruithe agus athúsáid ábhar Wikimedia faoi dhlíthe Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá agus dlíthe infheidhme eile (a bhféadfadh dlíthe a bheith san áireamh ina bhfuil tú féin nó ábhar do ranníocaíochtaí suite). Ciallaíonn sé seo go bhfuil sé tábhachtach go mbeadh tú cúramach agus tú ag postáil, ag modhnú nó ag athúsáid ábhar. I bhfianaise na freagrachta seo, tá roinnt rialacha againn maidir leis an méid nach féidir leat a dhéanamh, an chuid is mó acu ar mhaithe le do chosaint féin nó chun úsáideoirí eile cosúil leat féin a chosaint. Coinnigh i gcuimhne, le do thoil, gur chun críocha faisnéise ginearálta amháin atá an t-ábhar a óstáilimid, mar sin má theastaíonn sainchomhairle uait le haghaidh ceist ar leith (amhail saincheisteanna leighis, dlí nó airgeadais), ba cheart duit cabhair a lorg ó ghairmí cuí. Cuirimid fógraí agus séanadh tábhachtacha eile san áireamh freisin, mar sin léigh na Téarmaí Úsáide seo ina n-iomláine.

Ar mhaithe le soiléireacht, tá eagraíochtaí eile, amhail caibidlí agus [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|cumainn áitiúla Wikimedia]], a d’fhéadfadh a bheith páirteach sa mhisean céanna neamhspleách go dlíthiúil agus ar leithligh ón bhFondúireacht Wikimedia. Mura luaitear a mhalairt ag an bhFondúireacht mar pháirtí údaraithe ar Shuíomh Gréasáin tionscadail ar leith, níl aon fhreagracht ar na heagraíochtaí eile sin as oibríochtaí Láithreán Gréasáin an Tionscadail ná as a ábhar.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Ár Seirbhísí ==

Tá Fondúireacht Wikimedia tiomanta d’fhás, d’fhorbairt agus do dháileadh ábhar ilteangach saor in aisce a spreagadh, agus d’ábhar iomlán na dTionscadal vicíbhunaithe seo a óstáil saor in aisce don phobal. Is é an ról atá againn ná cuid de na Tionscadail tagartha is mó ar domhan a bhfuil eagarthóireacht chomhoibríoch déanta orthu a óstáil, [//www.wikimedia.org|ar féidir iad a fháil anseo]. Mar sin féin, ní ghníomhaímid ach mar sholáthraí seirbhíse óstála, ag cothabháil an bhonneagair agus an chreata eagrúcháin. Cuireann an bonneagar agus an creat seo ar chumas ár n-úsáideoirí na Tionscadail a thógáil trí ábhar a chur leis agus a chur in eagar iad féin. Ligeann siad dár n-úsáideoirí an t-ábhar sin a athúsáid freisin. Cuimsíonn an bonneagar a choinnímid bonneagar teicneolaíochta speisialaithe a chuireann ar chumas úsáideoirí idirghníomhú agus athúsáid a dhéanamh ar ábhar ar Thionscadail (dá ngairtear “Comhéadan Feidhmchláir” nó “APInna”), agus feidhmchláir mhóibíleacha.

Mar a úsáidtear ar fud an chuid eile de na Téarmaí Úsáide, is éard atá inár seirbhísí ná: [//www.wikimedia.org ÓstálaimidNa Láithreáin Ghréasáin Tionscadail bonneagar] teicneolaíochta a choinnímid, agus aon spásanna teicniúla a óstáilimid chun ár dTionscadail a chothabháil agus a fheabhsú.

Mar gheall ar ár ról uathúil, tá cúpla rud ba chóir duit a bheith ar an eolas faoi agus tú ag smaoineamh ar ár gcaidreamh leat, na Tionscadail, agus úsáideoirí eile:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Ní ghlacaimid ról eagarthóireachta:''' Toisc go ndéantar eagarthóireacht chomhoibríoch ar na Tionscadail, soláthraíonn úsáideoirí formhór mór an ábhair a óstáilimid, agus ní ghlacaimid ról eagarthóireachta. Ciallaíonn sé seo nach ndéanaimid monatóireacht ná eagarthóireacht ar ábhar Láithreáin Ghréasáin an Tionscadail de ghnáth, agus ní ghlacaimid aon fhreagracht as an ábhar seo. Ar an gcaoi chéanna, mura bhfuil a mhalairt ráite go sainráite againn, ní thacaímid le haon tuairimí a chuirtear in iúl trínár seirbhísí, agus ní dhéanaimid ionadaíocht ná ráthaíocht ar fhírinneacht, cruinneas ná iontaofacht aon ábhar pobail a chuirtear isteach ar na Tionscadail.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Tá tú freagrach as do ghníomhartha féin:''' Tá tú freagrach go dlíthiúil as do chuid athruithe agus ranníocaíochtaí ar na Tionscadail, d’athúsáid ábhar ar na Tionscadail, an úsáid a bhaineann tú as na APInna, agus an úsáid a bhaineann tú as ár seirbhísí ar bhonn níos ginearálta. Ar mhaithe le do chosaint féin, ba cheart duit a bheith cúramach agus gan aon ghníomhartha a dhéanamh a bhféadfadh dliteanas coiriúil nó sibhialta a bheith mar thoradh orthu faoi aon dlíthe is infheidhme. Ar mhaithe le soiléireacht, áirítear ar a laghad dlíthe Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá agus Stát California sa dlí is infheidhme. I gcás tíortha eile, cinntear é seo ar bhonn cás ar chás. Cé nach féidir linn aontú le gníomhartha den sórt sin, tugaimid rabhadh d’úsáideoirí - go háirithe na heagarthóirí, ranníocóirí, agus údair-go neamh-SAM. Féadfaidh údaráis iarracht a dhéanamh dlíthe tíre eile a chur i bhfeidhm ort, lena n-áirítear dlíthe áitiúla ina bhfuil cónaí ort nó an áit a bhféachann tú ar ábhar nó ina gcuireann tú ábhar in eagar. De ghnáth ní féidir linn aon chosaint, ráthaíocht, díolúine ná slánú a thairiscint i gcoinne chur i bhfeidhm na ndlíthe sin.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. Polasaí Príobháideachais ==

Iarraimid ort athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar théarmaí ár [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|bPolasaí Príobháideachais]], ionas go mbeidh tú ar an eolas faoin gcaoi a mbailímid agus a n-úsáidimid do chuid faisnéise.

Iarraimid, dá bhrí sin, go n-úsáideann tú ciall choiteann agus breithiúnas cuí agus tú ag úsáid ár seirbhísí.&lt;/li&gt;

== 4. Staonadh ó Ghníomhaíochtaí Áirithe ==

Níl na Tionscadail arna n-óstáil ag fondúireacht Wikimedia ann ach amháin mar gheall ar an bpobal bríomhar úsáideoirí cosúil leat a chomhoibríonn chun an t-ábhar a scríobh, a chur in eagar agus a choimeád. Cuirimid fáilte mhór roimh do rannpháirtíocht sa phobal seo. Molaimid duit a bheith sibhialta agus dea-bhéasach i do chuid idirghníomhaíochtaí le daoine eile sa phobal, gníomhú de mheon macánta, agus athruithe agus ranníocaíochtaí a dhéanamh atá dírithe ar mhisean an Tionscadail chomhroinnte a chur chun cinn. Iarraimid ar gach úsáideoir athbhreithniú agus leanúint a dhéanamh ar an [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|gCód Iompair Uilíoch]] (“UCoC”), a leagann amach riachtanais maidir le comhoibriú coláisteach, sibhialta ar fud na dTionscadal go léir a óstálaimid.

D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh gníomhaíochtaí áirithe, cibé acu dlíthiúla nó neamhdhleathacha faoin dlí is infheidhme, díobhálacha do úsáideoirí eile agus go ndéanfaí sárú ar ár rialacha, agus d'fhéadfadh go gcuirfí roinnt gníomhaíochtaí faoi réir dliteanas freisin. Dá bhrí sin, chun cosaint a thabhairt duit féin agus do úsáideoirí eile, ní féidir leat páirt a ghlacadh i ngníomhaíochtaí den sórt sin ar ár gClár, nó úsáid a bhaint as ar bhealach eile. I measc na ngníomhaíochtaí sin tá:

: '''Daoine Eile a Chiapadh agus a Mhí-úsáid'''
::* Téann sé i mbun bagairtí, stalking, spamming, vandalism, nó malartaíocht mar atá leagtha síos sa UCoC;

Chun cur leis na comónta a bhaineann le heolas saor in aisce agus cultúr saor in aisce, ceanglaítear ar gach úsáideoir a chuireann leis na Tionscadail nó le Láithreáin Ghréasáin an Tionscadail ceadanna leathana a thabhairt don phobal i gcoitinne a gcuid ranníocaíochtaí a athdháileadh agus a athúsáid faoi shaoirse, fad is a thugtar an úsáid sin i gceart agus go dtugtar an tsaoirse chéanna chun athúsáid agus athdháileadh d’aon oibreacha díorthacha. Ag teacht lenár gcuspóir faisnéis saor in aisce a sholáthar don lucht féachana is leithne is féidir, ní mór dúinn gach ábhar a chuirtear isteach a cheadúnú nuair is gá ionas go mbeidh sé in-athúsáidte faoi shaoirse ag aon duine a d’fhéadfadh rochtain a fháil air.

Aontaíonn tú leis na riachtanais cheadúnaithe seo a leanas:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Téacs a bhfuil an cóipcheart agat chuige:''' Nuair a chuireann tú téacs isteach a bhfuil an cóipcheart agat chuige, aontaíonn tú é a cheadúnú faoi:

Is féidir le athúsáiditheoirí a chomhlíonadh aon ceadúnas nó an dá cheann.&lt;br /&gt;
Is í an t-aon eisceacht ná má tá ceadúnas eile de dhíth ar eagrán nó gné an Tionscadail. Sa chás sin, aontaíonn tú ceadúnú a thabhairt d’aon téacs a chuireann tú leis faoin gceadúnas ar leith atá forordaithe ag eagrán an Tionscadail nó an ghné.

Tabhair faoi deara le do thoil go gceadaíonn na ceadúnais seo úsáidí tráchtála a bhaint as do chuid ranníocaíochtaí, chomh fada agus a chomhlíonann na húsáidí sin téarmaí na gceadúnas faoi seach. Sa chás go bhfuil Cearta Bunachar Sonraí Sui Generis agat atá clúdaithe ag CC BY-SA 4.0, tharscaoileann tú na cearta seo. Mar shampla, ciallaíonn sé seo gur féidir fíricí a chuireann tú leis na tionscadail a athúsáid go saor gan shannadh.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Sannadh:''' Is cuid thábhachtach de na ceadúnais seo an leithroinnt. Measaimid go dtugann sé creidmheas nuair a bhíonn creidmheas dlite – d’údair mar tú féin. Nuair a chuireann tú téacs leis, aontaíonn tú a bheith curtha i leith aon cheann de na bealaí seo a leanas:

&lt;li&gt;Trí hipearnasc (nuair is féidir) nó URL chuig an alt lenar chuir tú (toisc go bhfuil leathanach staire ag gach alt a liostaíonn gach rannpháirtí, údar agus eagarthóir);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trí hipearnasc (nuair is féidir) nó URL chuig cóip mhalartach, chobhsaí ar líne atá inrochtana go saor, a chloíonn leis an gceadúnas ábhartha, agus a sholáthraíonn creidmheas do na húdair ar bhealach atá comhionann leis an gcreidmheas a thugtar ar Shuíomh Gréasáin an Tionscadail; nó&lt;/li&gt;

Le haghaidh liosta de cheadúnais chomhoiriúnacha, féach [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons].

Aontaíonn tú, má iompórtálann tú téacs faoi cheadúnas CC a éilíonn sannadh, go gcaithfidh tú creidmheas a thabhairt don údair/do na húdair ar bhealach réasúnta. I gcás ina dtugtar creidiúint den sórt sin go coitianta trí stair leathanaigh (amhail cóipeáil inmheánach Wikimedia), is leor sannadh a thabhairt san achoimre eagarthóireachta, a thaifeadtar i stair na leathanach, agus an téacs á iompórtáil. Uaireanta bíonn na ceanglais leithdháilte ró-ionsáiteach do chúinsí ar leith (beag beann ar an gceadúnas), agus d’fhéadfadh cásanna a bheith ann ina gcinnfidh pobal Wikimedia nach féidir téacs iompórtáilte a úsáid ar an gcúis sin.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Meáin neamhthéacs:''' Tá meáin neamh-théacs ar na Tionscadail ar fáil faoi raon de cheadúnais éagsúla a thacaíonn leis an sprioc ghinearálta chun athúsáid agus athdháileadh neamhshrianta a cheadú.

Tá sé tábhachtach, áfach, go ndeimhníonn tú stádas fearann poiblí an ábhair faoi dhlí Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá chomh maith le dlíthe aon tíortha eile de réir mar a éilíonn eagrán sonrach an Tionscadail. Nuair a chuireann tú ábhar atá san fhearann poiblí ar fáil, barántaíonn tú go bhfuil an t-ábhar san fhearann poiblí i ndáiríre, agus aontaíonn tú é a lipéadú go cuí.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Athúsáid:''' Fáiltítear roimh athúsáid ábhair atá á óstáil againn, cé go bhfuil eisceachtaí ann maidir le hábhar a thugtar faoi “úsáid chóir” nó díolúintí comhchosúla faoin dlí cóipchirt is infheidhme. Caithfidh aon athúsáid cloí leis an mbuncheadúnas/na ceadúnais.&lt;br /&gt;

Nuair a dhéanann tú athúsáid nó athdháileadh ar leathanach téacs a d’fhorbair an pobal Wikimedia, aontaíonn tú na húdair a chur i leith aon cheann de na bealaí seo a leanas:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trí hipearnasc (nuair is féidir) nó URL chuig an leathanach nó na leathanaigh a bhfuil tú ag athúsáid (toisc go bhfuil leathanach staire ag gach leathanach a liostaíonn na rannpháirtithe, na húdair agus na heagarthóirí ar fad);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trí hipearnasc (nuair is féidir) nó URL chuig cóip mhalartach, chobhsaí ar líne atá inrochtana go saor, a chloíonn leis an gceadúnas, agus a sholáthraíonn creidmheas do na húdair ar bhealach atá comhionann leis an gcreidmheas a thugtar ar Shuíomh Gréasáin an Tionscadail; nó&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

Má allmhairíodh an t-ábhar téacs ó fhoinse eile, d’fhéadfadh go mbeadh an t-ábhar ceadúnaithe faoi cheadúnas comhoiriúnach CC BY-SA ach ní GFDL (mar a thuairiscítear in “Iompórtáil téacs,” thuas). Sa chás sin, aontaíonn tú an ceadúnas comhoiriúnach CC BY-SA a chomhlíonadh agus níl an rogha agat é a athcheadúnais faoi GFDL. Chun an ceadúnas a bhaineann leis an ábhar a bhfuil tú ag iarraidh é a athúsáid nó a athdháileadh a chinneadh, ba cheart duit buntásc an leathanaigh, stair an leathanaigh agus an leathanach plé a athbhreithniú.

Ina theannta sin, tabhair faoi deara, le do thoil, go bhféadfadh téacs a tháinig ó fhoinsí seachtracha agus a iompórtáladh isteach i dTionscadal a bheith faoi cheadúnas a ghabhann ceanglais bhreise leithdháilte. Aontaíonn úsáideoirí na ceanglais leithdháilte breise seo a chur in iúl go soiléir. Ag brath ar an Tionscadal, d’fhéadfadh ceanglais den sórt sin a bheith le feiceáil, mar shampla, i mbratach nó i nodaireachtaí eile a thabharfadh le fios gur foilsíodh cuid den ábhar nó an t-ábhar ar fad in áit eile ar dtús. I gcás ina bhfuil nótaí sofheicthe den sórt sin, ba chóir d’athúsáideoirí iad a chaomhnú.

Maidir le meáin neamhthéacs ar bith, aontaíonn tú cloí leis an gceadúnas infheidhme faoinar cuireadh an saothar ar fáil (ar féidir a fháil amach trí chliceáil ar an saothar agus féachaint ar an rannán ceadúnaithe ar a leathanach tuairisce nó athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar leathanach foinse infheidhmithe le haghaidh an obair sin). Agus tú ag athúsáid aon ábhar atá á óstáil againn, aontaíonn tú na ceanglais leithdháilte ábhartha a chomhlíonadh mar a bhaineann siad leis an gceadúnas nó leis na ceadúnais bhunúsacha.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modhnuithe nó breisithe ar ábhar a athúsáideann tú:''' Agus tú ag modhnú nó ag déanamh breisithe le téacs a fuair tú ó Shuíomh Gréasáin Tionscadal, aontaíonn tú an t-ábhar modhnaithe nó breisithe a cheadúnú faoi CC BY-SA 4.0 nó níos déanaí (nó, mar a mhínítear thuas, ceadúnas eile nuair a éilíonn eagrán sonrach an Tionscadail go heisceachtúil é. nó gné).&lt;br /&gt;

Nuair a bheidh tú ag modhnú nó ag cur breisithe le haon mheán neamhthéacs atá faighte agat ó shuíomh Gréasáin an Tionscadail, aontaíonn tú an t-ábhar modhnaithe nó breisithe a cheadúnú de réir cibé ceadúnais faoinar cuireadh an saothar ar fáil.&lt;br /&gt;

Le hábhar téacs agus meáin neamhthéacs araon, aontaíonn tú a chur in iúl go soiléir go bhfuil an saothar bunaidh athraithe. Má tá ábhar téacs á athúsáid agat i vicí, is leor a chur in iúl i stair an leathanaigh go ndearna tú athrú ar an téacs iompórtáilte. I gcás gach cóipe nó gach leagan mionathraithe a dháileann tú, aontaíonn tú fógra ceadúnaithe a chur isteach ina luafar cén ceadúnas a scaoiltear an saothar faoi, mar aon le hipearnasc nó URL chuig téacs an cheadúnais nó cóip den cheadúnas féin.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Mar sin féin, de ghnáth is féidir leat iarratas a dhéanamh go díreach chuig pobal an Tionscadail: d’fhéadfadh sé seo a bheith níos éifeachtaí, agus tá sé níos comhsheasmhaí le haidhm ár dTionscadail chun cumhacht a thabhairt don phobal úsáideoirí.
&lt;/div&gt;


Is gnách go soláthróidh gach Tionscadal leathanaigh “Cabhair” nó “Teagmháil” mar threoir bhreise, nó uirlisí sonracha chun saincheisteanna a thuairisciú. Nó – má tá amhras ort – is féidir leat cabhair a iarraidh ar bhaill an phobail, trí ríomhphost a sheoladh chuig {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} nó seoladh atá níos sainiúla don teanga ó [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|leathanach Fhoireann Freagartha na nÓglach]]. Tabhair faoi deara go ndéanann úsáideoirí na dTionscadal, ní an Fhondúireacht, monatóireacht ar na boscaí poist seo. Mar thoradh air sin, níor cheart iad a bhagairt nó a eisiúint le héilimh dhlíthiúla.

Má dhéanann tú teagmháil leis an bhForas maidir le fadhb, de ghnáth déanfaimid iniúchadh ar cé acu an féidir agus conas is féidir le meicníochtaí faoi stiúir an phobail atá ann cheana féin a imscrúdú agus, nuair is cuí, é a réiteach.

I gcás neamhghnách, d’fhéadfadh go n-eascródh an gá, nó d’fhéadfadh an pobal iarraidh orainn, aghaidh a thabhairt ar úsáideoir atá fadhbach go háirithe nó go háirithe ábhar fadhbach mar gheall ar shuaitheadh suntasach Tionscadail nó iompar contúirteach. I gcásanna den sórt sin, coimeádaimid an ceart, dár rogha féin amháin (nó i gcás ina gceanglaítear go dlíthiúil orainn):

* Fiosraigh an úsáid a bhaineann tú as na Tionscadail nó as ár seirbhísí (a) chun a chinneadh ar tharla sárú ar na Téarmaí Úsáide seo, ar bheartas eagrán an tionscadail, nó ar dhlí nó ar bheartas infheidhme eile, nó (b) chun aon dlí nó próiseas dlíthiúil is infheidhme a chomhlíonadh, nó iarratas rialtais iomchuí;
* Calaois, faisnéis bhréagach nó do-fhíoraithe, slándáil, nó saincheisteanna teicniúla a bhrath, a chosc nó aghaidh a thabhairt uirthi nó freagra a thabhairt ar iarrataí ar thacaíocht úsáideoirí;
* Rochtain ar ranníocaíochtaí aon úsáideora a sháraíonn na Téarmaí Úsáide seo a dhiúltú, a chur ar ais, a dhíchumasú nó a shrianadh;
*Cosc ar úsáideoir cuntas úsáideora a chur in eagar nó rannchuidiú nó bac a chur air nó rochtain a fháil ar ghníomhartha a sháraíonn na Téarmaí Úsáide seo, lena n-áirítear ábhar neamhdhleathach a athphostáil faoin dlí is infheidhme i gcomhréir le prionsabail chearta an duine;
* Caingean dlí a ghlacadh i gcoinne úsáideoirí a sháraíonn na Téarmaí Úsáide seo (lena n-áirítear tuarascálacha chuig údaráis um fhorghníomhú an dlí); agus
* Láithreáin ghréasáin an Tionscadail a bhainistiú ar shlí eile ar bhealach atá deartha chun a bhfeidhmiú ceart a éascú agus chun cearta, maoin agus sábháilteacht sinn féin agus ár n-úsáideoirí, ár gceadúnaithe, ár gcomhpháirtithe agus an phobail a chosaint.

Féadfar gníomhaíochtaí modhnóireachta na Fondúireachta sin a chur ar an eolas nó a chomhlíonadh trí bhogearraí (cosúil le cosaint ó thuilte tráchta (“Séanadh Seirbhíse”)). Sna cásanna sin bíonn athbhreithniú daonna ar fáil de ghnáth, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|ach é a iarraidh]].

Ar mhaithe lenár n-úsáideoirí agus na dTionscadal, sna himthosca fíor-mhóra gur cuireadh bac ar chuntas nó ar rochtain aon duine faoin alt seo, tá cosc orthu cuntas eile a chruthú nó a úsáid ar an Tionscadal céanna nó rochtain a lorg air, ach amháin má sholáthraímid go sainráite é. cead. Gan teorainn a chur le húdarás an phobail, ní chuirfidh an Foras féin cosc ar úsáideoir cuntas nó rochtain úsáideora a chur in eagar nó a chur leis ná bac a chur air mar gheall ar cháineadh de mheon macánta amháin nach n-eascraíonn gníomhartha a sháraíonn na Téarmaí Úsáide seo nó polasaithe pobail ar shlí eile.

Féadfaidh pobal Wikimedia agus a chomhaltaí beart a dhéanamh freisin nuair a cheadaíonn beartais an Chomhphobail nó an Fhorais is infheidhme maidir le heagrán sonrach an Tionscadail, lena n-áirítear ach gan a bheith teoranta do rabhadh, imscrúdú, blocáil nó toirmeasc a chur ar úsáideoirí a sháraíonn na beartais sin. Aontaíonn tú déanamh de réir chinntí deiridh na gcomhlachtaí um réiteach díospóide a bhunaíonn an pobal le haghaidh na n-eagrán ar leith den Tionscadal (cosúil le coistí eadrána); féadfaidh smachtbhannaí a bheith ar áireamh sna cinntí seo mar atá leagtha amach i bpolasaí eagrán sonrach an Tionscadail.

Féadfaidh úsáideoirí fadhbacha go háirithe a bhfuil cuntais nó rochtain bactha acu ar eagráin Thionscadail iolracha a bheith faoi réir toirmeasc ó gach eagrán Tionscadal, i gcomhréir leis an [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|mBeartas Coiscthe Domhanda]]. I gcodarsnacht le rúin an Bhoird nó na Téarmaí Úsáide seo, féadfaidh an pobal ábhartha beartais arna mbunú ag an bpobal, a fhéadfaidh eagrán amháin de Thionscadail nó ileagráin Thionscadail (cosúil leis an mBeartas Cosc Domhanda), a mhodhnú de réir a nósanna imeachta féin.

Déanfar blocáil cuntas nó rochtain nó toirmeasc ar úsáideoir faoin bhforáil seo de réir Alt 13 de na Téarmaí Úsáide seo.

Má chreideann tú nár ghníomhaigh muid go sásúil maidir le tuairisc ar ábhar fadhbach, nó má cuireadh faoi ghníomh modhnóireachta de chuid na Fondúireachta thú ar mian leat cur ina choinne, b’fhéidir go mbeifeá in ann [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|achomharc a dhéanamh]]. Is féidir faisnéis eile faoi bhealaí achomhairc a mhíniú duit ag an am, nó ar leathanaigh chabhrach a bhaineann go sonrach le Tionscadal.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Coimeádaimid an ceart chun láimhseáil tuairiscí nó comhfhreagras eile ó úsáideoirí nó tríú páirtithe a chur ar fionraí (go sealadach nó go buan), cibé acu faoi ábhar nó iompar a líomhnaítear a bheith mídhleathach nó fadhbach eile, nó ag iarraidh achomhairc i gcoinne gníomhartha modhnóireachta, má rinneadh an comhfhreagras sin go dona. creideamh, athchleachtach, gan bhunús, agus/nó maslach. I gcúinsí cuí, d’fhéadfadh sé go gcuirfí bac ar do sheoladh ríomhphoist ar ár gcóras(í) ríomhphoist, agus beidh ort teagmháil a dhéanamh linn [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|ag ár seoladh poist]] más mian leat tuilleadh comhfhreagras a dhéanamh linn le linn an bhloic sin. I gcás cásanna nach bhfuil chomh tromchúiseach (m.sh. suas le trí ríomhphost dea-bhéasach faoi ghearán neamhfhiúntais amháin nó níos mó), is dócha gur cás sealadach a bheidh i gceist. Is mó an seans go dtiocfaidh bearta buana as cumarsáid níos minice nó níos mí-úsáidí.

I gcúinsí áirithe (ní dócha go bhfuil súil leo) b’fhéidir go mbeidh sé riachtanach dúinn féin nó do phobal Wikimedia nó a chomhaltaí (mar a thuairiscítear i Mír 10) cuid dár seirbhísí nó iad uile a fhoirceannadh, deireadh a chur leis na Téarmaí Úsáide seo, bac a chur ar do chuntas nó rochtain a fháil orthu, nó cosc ort mar úsáideoir.

Is mór againn an t-am a thóg tú chun na Téarmaí Úsáide seo a léamh, agus táimid thar a bheith sásta go bhfuil tú ag cur leis na Tionscadail agus ag baint úsáide as ár seirbhísí. Tríd an méid a chuir tú le chéile, tá tú ag cabhrú le rud éigin fíor-mhór a chruthú – ní hamháin bailiúchán tábhachtach de Thionscadail tagartha arna gcur in eagar go comhoibríoch a sholáthraíonn oideachas agus faisnéis do na milliúin a bhféadfadh easpa rochtana a bheith acu murach sin, ach freisin do phobal bríomhar de phiaraí atá ar aon intinn leo, dírithe ar sprioc an-uasal.

'''''Immaġina dinja li fiha kull bniedem jista’ jaqsam liberament għarfien kollu f’daqqa. Dan huwa l-impenn tagħna.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Id- Differmazzjoni tagħna dwar il- Viżjoni]]

Merħba f’Wikimedia! Il-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia, Inc (“aħna” jew “tagħna” jew “il-Fondazzjoni”), hijaorganizzazzjoni tal-karità mingħajr skop ta’ qligħ, bis-sede f’San Francisco, California, l-Istati Uniti, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|bil-missjoni]] li ssaħħaħ u tinvolvi nies madwar id-dinja biex jiġbru u jiżviluppaw kontenut taħt [[{{lwp|Free content}}|liċenzja bla ħlas]] jew fid-dominju pubbliku, u biex tqassam dan b’mod effettiv u globali, bla ħlas.

Biex nappoġġaw il-komunità vibranti tagħna, aħna nipprovdu l-infrastruttura essenzjali u l-qafas organizzattiv għall-iżvilupp tal-proġetti multilingwali u l-edizzjonijiet tagħhom (kif spjegat fuq il-paġna [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|tal-Proġetti Wikimedia]]) (hawnhekk qed jiġu riferuti bħala “Proġetti”) u sforzi oħra li jaqdu din il-missjoni. Naħdmu biex nagħmlu u nżommu kontenut edukattiv u informattiv mill-Proġetti disponibbli fuq l-internet mingħajr ħlas, għal dejjem.

Nilqgħuk (“int” jew l-“utent”) bħala qarrej, jew kontributur tal-Proġetti, u nħeġġuk tingħaqad mal-komunità ta’ Wikimedia. Qabel ma tipparteċipa, madankollu, nitolbu li jekk jogħġbok taqra u taqbel mat-Termini ta’ Użu li ġejjin (“Termini ta’ Użu”).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu jgħidulek dwar is-servizzi pubbliċi tagħna fil-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia, ir-relazzjoni tagħna miegħek bħala utent, u d-drittijiet u r-responsabbiltajiet li jiggwidaw lilna t-tnejn. Aħna nospitaw kwantità inkredibbli ta’ kontenut edukattiv u informattiv, li kollha hija kkontribwita u magħmula possibbli minn utenti bħalek. Ġeneralment ma nikkontribwixxux, ma nissorveljawx jew ma nħassrux kontenut (b’eċċezzjonijiet rari, bħal taħt politiki bħal dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, għal konformità legali, jew meta niffaċċjaw theddid urġenti ta’ ħsara serja). Dan ifisser li l-kontroll editorjali huwa f’idejk u f’idejn l-utenti sħabek li joħolqu u jamministraw il-kontenut.

Il-komunità – in-netwerk ta’ utenti li qed jibnu u jużaw kontinwament il-Proġetti u/jew is-siti web tagħhom (minn hawn imsejħa “Siti Web tal-Proġett”) – hija l-mezz ewlieni li permezz tiegħu jintlaħqu l-għanijiet tal-missjoni. Il-komunità tikkontribwixxi għal u tgħin biex tirregola l-Proġetti u s-Siti Web tal-Proġetti tagħna. Il-komunità tieħu wkoll il-funzjoni kritika li toħloq u tinforza politiki għall-edizzjonijiet speċifiċi tal-Proġett (bħall-edizzjonijiet tal-lingwi differenti għall-Proġett tal-Wikipedia jew l-edizzjoni multilingwali tal-Wikimedia Commons).

Int, l-utent, mistieden tingħaqad bħala kontributur, editur jew awtur, iżda għandek issegwi l-politiki li jirregolaw kull waħda mill-edizzjonijiet indipendenti tal-Proġett, inkluż il-Kodiċi ta’ Kondotta Universali ([[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct, UCoC]]), li japplikaw għall-edizzjonijiet kollha tal-Proġett. L-akbar mill-Proġetti tagħna hija l-Wikipedia, iżda aħna nospitaw Proġetti oħra wkoll, kull wieħed b’għanijiet u metodi ta’ ħidma differenti. Kull edizzjoni tal-Proġett għandha tim ta’ kontributuri, edituri jew awturi li jaħdmu flimkien biex joħolqu u jimmaniġġjaw il-kontenut fuq dik l-edizzjoni tal-Proġett. Int mistieden tingħaqad ma’ dawn it-timijiet u taħdem magħhom biex ittejjeb dawn il-Proġetti. Peress li aħna ddedikati biex nagħmlu l-kontenut aċċessibbli liberament għall-pubbliku, il-kontenut li tikkontribwixxi jsir disponibbli taħt liċenzja ħielsa jew rilaxxat fid-dominju pubbliku.

Jekk jogħġbok kun konxju li inti legalment responsabbli għall-kontribuzzjonijiet, editjar, u użu mill-ġdid tiegħek kollha tal-kontenut tal-Wikimedia taħt il-liġijiet tal-Istati Uniti tal-Amerika u liġijiet oħra applikabbli (li jistgħu jinkludu liġijiet fejn inti jew is-suġġett tal-kontribuzzjonijiet tiegħek jinsabu). Dan ifisser li huwa importanti li toqgħod attent meta tpoġġi, timmodifika jew terġa’ tuża l-kontenut. Fid-dawl ta’ din ir-responsabbiltà, għandna xi regoli dwar dak li ma tistax tagħmel, li ħafna minnhom huma jew għall-protezzjoni tiegħek jew għall-protezzjoni ta’ utenti oħra bħalek. Jekk jogħġbok żomm f’moħħok li l-kontenut li nospitaw huwa għal skopijiet ta’ informazzjoni ġenerali biss, għalhekk jekk għandek bżonn parir espert għal mistoqsija partikolari (bħal kwistjonijiet mediċi, legali jew finanzjarji), għandek tfittex l-għajnuna ta’ professjonist xieraq. Aħna ninkludu wkoll avviżi u ċaħdiet importanti oħra, għalhekk jekk jogħġbok aqra dawn it-Termini tal-Użu fl-intier tagħhom.

Għal aktar ċarezza, organizzazzjonijiet oħra, bħal [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|kapitli u assoċjazzjonijiet lokali ta’ Wikimedia]], li jistgħu jaqsmu l-istess missjoni huma madankollu legalment indipendenti u separati mill-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia. Sakemm ma jkunx iddikjarat b’mod ieħor mill-Fondazzjoni bħala parti awtorizzata fuq il-Websajt tal-Proġett partikolari, dawk l-organizzazzjonijiet l-oħra m’għandhom l-ebda responsabbiltà għall-operazzjonijiet tas-Sit Web tal-Proġett jew il-kontenut tiegħu.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Is-Servizzi Tagħna ==

Il-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia hija ddedikata biex tinkoraġġixxi t-tkabbir, l-iżvilupp, u d-distribuzzjoni ta’ kontenut multilingwali mingħajr ħlas, u biex tospita l-kontenut sħiħ ta’ dawn il-Proġetti bbażati fuq il-wiki għall-pubbliku mingħajr ħlas. Ir-rwol tagħna huwa li nospitaw uħud mill-akbar Proġetti ta’ referenza editjati b’mod kollaborattiv fid-dinja, li [//www.wikimedia.org jistgħu jinstabu hawn]. Madankollu, aħna naġixxu biss bħala fornitur ta’ servizz ta’ hosting, billi nżommu l-infrastruttura u l-qafas organizzattiv. Din l-infrastruttura u dan il-qafas jippermettu lill-utenti tagħna jibnu l-Proġetti billi jikkontribwixxu u jeditjaw il-kontenut huma stess. Huma jippermettu wkoll lill-utenti tagħna biex jerġgħu jużaw dak il-kontenut. L-infrastruttura li nżommu tinkludi infrastruttura teknoloġika speċjalizzata li tippermetti lill-utenti jinteraġixxu b’mod programmatiku u jużaw mill-ġdid il-kontenut fuq Proġetti (imsejħa “Application Programming Interface” jew “APIs”), u applikazzjonijiet tal-apparat mobbli.

Kif użati matul il-bqija tat-Termini tal-Użu, is-servizzi tagħna jikkonsistu fi: [//www.wikimedia.org Is-Siti Web tal-Proġettili nospitaw], l-infrastruttura teknoloġika li nżommu, u kwalunkwe spazji tekniċi li nospitaw għall-manutenzjoni u t-titjib tal-Proġetti tagħna.

Minħabba r-rwol uniku tagħna, hemm ftit affarijiet li għandek tkun konxju minnhom meta tikkunsidra r-relazzjoni tagħna miegħek, il-Proġetti, u utenti oħra:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Aħna ma niħdux rwol editorjali:''' Minħabba li l-Proġetti huma editjati b’mod kollaborattiv, il-maġġoranza l-kbira tal-kontenut li nospitaw huwa pprovdut mill-utenti, u aħna ma niħdux rwol editorjali. Dan ifisser li ġeneralment ma nissorveljawx jew neditjaw il-kontenut tas-siti web tal-Proġett, u ma nieħdu l-ebda responsabbiltà għal dan il-kontenut. Bl-istess mod, sakemm ma nkunux ddikjarajna espressament b’mod ieħor, aħna ma napprovaw l-ebda opinjoni espressa permezz tas-servizzi tagħna, u ma nirrappreżentawx jew niggarantixxu l-verità, l-eżattezza jew l-affidabbiltà ta’ kwalunkwe kontenut tal-komunità sottomess fuq il-Proġetti.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Int responsabbli għall-azzjonijiet tiegħek stess:''' Inti legalment responsabbli għall-modifiki u l-kontribuzzjonijiet tiegħek fuq il-Proġetti, l-użu mill-ġdid tiegħek tal-kontenut fuq il-Proġetti, l-użu tiegħek tal-APIs, u l-użu tiegħek tas-servizzi tagħna b’mod aktar ġenerali. Għall-protezzjoni tiegħek stess għandek toqgħod attent u tevita li tieħu kwalunkwe azzjoni li tista’ tirriżulta f’responsabbiltà kriminali jew ċivili taħt kwalunkwe liġi applikabbli. Biex inkunu ċari, il-liġi applikabbli tinkludi mill-inqas il-liġijiet tal-Istati Uniti tal-Amerika u l-Istat ta’ California. Għal pajjiżi oħra, dan jiġi determinat fuq bażi ta’ każ b’każ. Għalkemm nistgħu ma naqblux ma’ azzjonijiet bħal dawn, aħna nwissu lill-utenti—b’mod partikolari lill-edituri, il-kontributuri, u l-awturi—li awtoritajiet mhux tal-Istati Uniti jistgħu jfittxu li japplikaw liġijiet oħra tal-pajjiż għalik, inklużi liġijiet lokali fejn tgħix jew fejn tara jew teditja l-kontenut. Ġeneralment ma nistgħu noffru l-ebda protezzjoni, garanzija, immunità jew indennizz kontra l-applikazzjoni ta’ tali liġijiet.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. Il-Politika tal-Privatezza ==

Aħna nitolbu li tirrevedi t-[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|termini tal-Politika ta’ Privatezza tagħna]], sabiex tkun taf kif niġbru u nużaw l-informazzjoni tiegħek.

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Tista’ ssib xi materjal oġġezzjonabbli jew żbaljat:''' Minħabba li aħna nospitaw firxa wiesgħa ta’ kontenut li huwa prodott jew miġbur minn utenti msieħba, tista’ tiltaqa’ ma’ materjal li ssibu offensiv, żbaljat, qarrieqi, ttikkettat ħażin, jew b’xi mod ieħor oġġezzjonabbli. Għalhekk nitolbu li tuża s-sens komun u l-ġudizzju xieraq meta tuża s-servizzi tagħna.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Il-kontenut tal-Proġetti huwa għal skopijiet ta’ informazzjoni ġenerali biss:''' Għalkemm il-Proġetti tagħna jospitaw ħafna informazzjoni li għandha x’taqsam ma’ suġġetti professjonali, inklużi kwistjonijiet mediċi, legali jew finanzjarji, dan il-kontenut huwa ppreżentat għal skopijiet ta’ informazzjoni ġenerali biss. M’għandux jiġi kkunsidrat bħala parir professjonali. Jekk jogħġbok fittex pariri professjonali indipendenti minn xi ħadd li huwa liċenzjat jew ikkwalifikat fil-qasam applikabbli minflok taġixxi fuq kwalunkwe informazzjoni, opinjoni, jew parir li jinsab f’wieħed mis-siti web tal-Proġett.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

== 4. Żamma lura minn Ċertu Attivitajiet ==

Il-Proġetti ospitati mill-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia jeżistu biss minħabba l-komunità vibranti ta’ utenti bħalek li jikkollaboraw biex jiktbu, jeditjaw, u jikkuraw il-kontenut. Nilqgħu bil-ferħ il-parteċipazzjoni tiegħek f’din il-komunità. Inħeġġuk tkun ċivili u edukat fl-interazzjonijiet tiegħek ma’ oħrajn fil-komunità, taġixxi b’rieda tajba, u tagħmel modifiki u kontribuzzjonijiet immirati lejn it-tkomplija tal-missjoni tal-Proġett kondiviż. Aħna nitolbu li l-utenti kollha jirrevedu u jsegwu l-[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Kodiċi ta’ Kondotta Universali]] (“UCoC”), li jistabbilixxi r-rekwiżiti għal kollaborazzjoni ċivili u kolleġjali fil-Proġetti kollha li nospitaw.

Ċerti attivitajiet, kemm jekk legali kif ukoll illegali skont il-liġi applikabbli, jistgħu jkunu ta' ħsara lill-utenti l-oħra u jiksru r-regoli tagħna, u xi attivitajiet jistgħu wkoll jagħmlulek soġġett għal responsabbiltà. Għalhekk, għall-protezzjoni tiegħek stess u għal dik tal-utenti l-oħra, inti ma tistax tieħu sehem f'tali attivitajiet fuq, jew bl-użu ta' xi mod ieħor, il-Proġetti tagħna. Dawn l-attivitajiet jinkludu:

::* Int trid tiżvela kull min iħaddem, klijent, benefiċjarju maħsub u affiljazzjoni fir-rigward ta’ kwalunkwe kontribuzzjoni li għaliha tirċievi, jew tistenna li tirċievi, kumpens. Int trid tagħmel dak l-iżvelar f’mill-inqas wieħed mill-modi li ġejjin:
:::* dikjarazzjoni fuq il-paġna tal-utent tiegħek,
:::* dikjarazzjoni fuq il-paġna ta’ diskussjoni li takkumpanja kwalunkwe kontribuzzjoni mħallsa, jew
:::* dikjarazzjoni fis-sommarju tal-editjar li takkumpanja kwalunkwe kontribuzzjoni mħallsa.

::* Liġi applikabbli, jew politiki speċifiċi għall-Proġett u politiki u linji gwida tal-Fondazzjoni, bħal dawk li jindirizzaw il-kunflitti ta’ interess, jistgħu jillimitaw aktar il-kontribuzzjonijiet imħallsa jew jeħtieġu żvelar aktar dettaljat. Pereżempju, il-ksur tat-Trademarks ta’ Wikimedia (definiti minn hawn ‘il quddiem fit-Taqsima 6) biex jiġu reklamati servizzi ta’ editjar bi ħlas, biex jitneħħa l-iżvelar fuq editjar imħallas qabel żvelat b’mod adegwat, jew biex isir editjar imħallas fejn ma tistax tilloggja b’mod li tiżvela b’mod xieraq u adegwat impossibbiltà prattika ser jikser din it-taqsima.
::* Komunità ta’ Proġett Wikimedia tista’ tadotta politika ta’ żvelar ta’ kontribuzzjoni mħallsa b’mod alternattiv li tista’ tissupplimenta jew tissostitwixxi din it-taqsima. Jekk Proġett jadotta politika ta’ żvelar alternattiva, inti tista’ tikkonforma ma’ dik il-politika minflok mar-rekwiżiti f’din it-taqsima (bit-titolu “Kontribuzzjonijiet Imħallsa Mingħajr Żvelar”) meta tikkontribwixxi għal dak il-Proġett partikolari.

:: Għal iktar informazzjoni, jekk jogħġbok aqra l-[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ tagħna fuq l-iżvelar ta’ kontribuzzjonijiet imħallsa]].


Editjar mhux żvelat minn utenti li jirċievu kumpens joħloq piż mhux raġonevoli fuq edituri voluntiera li [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|jinvestigaw u jinfurzaw il-politiki komunitarji]]. Għaldaqstant, għal ksur ta’ din it-taqsima relatat ma’ editjar imħallas mhux żvelat, inti taqbel li tissottometti “Med-Arb” vinkolanti (“medjazzjoni tal-Kumpanija ta’ Kummerċjalizzazzjoni”) kif deskritt fit-taqsima 14 ta’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu.

Aħna nirriżervaw id-dritt li neżerċitaw id-diskrezzjoni tagħna għall-infurzar tad-dispożizzjonijiet fit-taqsima 4 ta’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu. Fejn ikun meħtieġ, l-infurzar ta’ dawn it-termini jista’ jinkludi azzjonijiet mhux elenkati fil-Politika ta’ [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Azzjoni tal-Uffiċċju tal-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia]]. Jekk l-infurzar ikun meħtieġ f’ċirkostanzi ġodda, aħna nagħmlu sforz biex naġġornaw il-Politika ta’ Azzjoni tal-Uffiċċju biex nikkatalogaw it-tip ta’ azzjoni ġdida f’mhux aktar minn sena (1).

Għalkemm għandek libertajiet konsiderevoli għall-użu mill-ġdid tal-kontenut fuq is-siti web tal-Proġett, huwa importanti li fil-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia, aħna nipproteġu d-drittijiet tat-trademarks tagħna sabiex inkunu nistgħu nipproteġu l-utenti tagħna minn impersonaturi frawdolenti. Minħabba dan, nitolbuk biex tirrispetta t-trademarks tagħna. It-trademarks kollha tal-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia jappartjenu lill-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia, u kwalunkwe użu tal-ismijiet kummerċjali, tat-trademarks, tal-marki tas-servizz, tal-logos jew tal-ismijiet tad-dominju tagħna għandu jkun konformi ma’ dawn it-Termini tal-Użu u f’konformità mal-[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Politika dwar it-Trademarks]] tagħna.

== 7. Liċenzjar tal-Kontenut ==

Biex jikbru l-komuni tal-għarfien ħieles u l-kultura ħielsa, l-utenti kollha li jikkontribwixxu għall-Proġetti jew għas-siti web tal-Proġetti huma meħtieġa jagħtu permessi wesgħin lill-pubbliku ġenerali biex jerġa’ jqassam u juża mill-ġdid il-kontribuzzjonijiet tagħhom liberament, sakemm dak l-użu jiġi attribwit sew u l-istess libertà għall-użu mill-ġdid u d-distribuzzjoni mill-ġdid tiġi mogħtija lil kwalunkwe xogħlijiet derivattivi. F’konformità mal-għan tagħna li nipprovdu informazzjoni b’xejn lill-udjenza l-aktar wiesgħa possibbli, aħna neħtieġu li meta jkun hemm bżonn, il-kontenut kollu sottomess ikun liċenzjat sabiex ikun jista’ jerġa’ jintuża b’mod ħieles minn kull min jista’ jaċċessah.

Inti taqbel mar-rekwiżiti tal-liċenzjar li ġejjin:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Test li fih għandek id-drittijiet tal-awtur:''' Meta tissottometti test li għalih għandek id-drittijiet tal-awtur, inti taqbel li tagħti liċenzja taħt:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Liċenzja Internazzjonali Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0] (“CC BY-SA 4.0”), u
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (“GFDL”) (mingħajr verżjoni, mingħajr sezzjonijiet invarjanti, testi fuq il-qoxra ta’ quddiem, jew testi fuq il-qoxra ta’ wara).

L-utenti li jerġgħu jużaw jistgħu jikkonformaw ma’ waħda mil-liċenzji jew mat-tnejn li huma.&lt;br /&gt;
L-unika eċċezzjoni hija jekk l-edizzjoni jew il-karatteristika tal-Proġett teħtieġ liċenzja differenti. F’dak il-każ, taqbel li tagħti liċenzja għal kwalunkwe test li tikkontribwixxi taħt il-liċenzja partikolari preskritta mill-edizzjoni tal-Proġett jew tal-karatteristika.

Jekk jogħġbok innota li dawn il-liċenzji jippermettu użi kummerċjali tal-kontribuzzjonijiet tiegħek, sakemm tali użu jkun konformi mat-termini tal-liċenzji rispettivi. Fejn inti għandek Drittijiet ta’ Bażi tad-Dejta Sui Generis koperti minn CC BY-SA 4.0, inti tirrinunzja dawn id-drittijiet. Bħala eżempju, dan ifisser fatti li tikkontribwixxi għall-proġetti jistgħu jerġgħu jintużaw liberament mingħajr attribuzzjoni.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Attribuzzjoni:''' L-attribuzzjoni hija parti importanti minn dawn il-liċenzji. Aħna nqisu li għandu jingħata kreditu fejn il-kreditu huwa dovut - lil awturi bħalek stess. Meta tikkontribwixxi test, taqbel li tiġi attribwit fi kwalunkwe waħda mill-modi li ġejjin:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Permezz ta’ iperlink (fejn possibbli) jew URL għall-artiklu li kkontribwixxejt għalih int (peress li kull artiklu għandu paġna tal-kronoloġija li telenka l-kontributuri, l-awturi u l-edituri kollha);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Permezz ta’ iperlink (fejn possibbli) jew URL għal kopja alternattiva, stabbli, online li tkun aċċessibbli liberament, li tikkonforma mal-liċenzja rilevanti, u li tipprovdi kreditu lill-awturi b’mod ekwivalenti għall-kreditu mogħti fuq is-Sit Web tal-Proġett; jew&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Permezz ta’ lista tal-awturi kollha (iżda jekk jogħġbok innota li kwalunkwe lista tal-awturi tista’ tiġi ffiltrata biex jiġu esklużi kontribuzzjonijiet żgħar ħafna jew irrilevanti).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''L-importazzjoni tat-test:''' Tista’ timporta test li sibt xi mkien ieħor jew li tkun ko-awtur ma’ persuna oħra, iżda f’każ bħal dan inti tirrappreżenta u tiggarantixxi li t-test huwa disponibbli taħt termini li huma kompatibbli ma’ CC BY-SA (jew, kif spjegat hawn fuq, ma’ liċenzja oħra meta eċċezzjonalment meħtieġ mill-edizzjoni jew mill-karatteristika tal-Proġett). Għal lista ta’ liċenzji kompatibbli, ara [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. M’għandekx timporta kontenut li huwa disponibbli biss taħt GFDL.&lt;br /&gt;

Taqbel li, jekk timporta test taħt liċenzja CC li teħtieġ attribuzzjoni, trid tikkredita lill-awtur(i) b’mod raġonevoli. Fejn kreditu bħal dan huwa komunement mogħti permezz tal-istejjer tal-paġna (bħall-ikkupjar intern tal-Wikimedia), huwa biżżejjed li tingħata attribuzzjoni fis-sommarju tal-editjar, li huwa rreġistrat fl-istorja tal-paġna, meta jiġi importat it-test. Ir-rekwiżiti ta’ attribuzzjoni huma kultant intrużivi wisq għal ċirkostanzi partikolari (irrispettivament mil-liċenzja), u jista’ jkun hemm każijiet fejn il-komunità ta’ Wikimedia tiddeċiedi li test importat ma jistax jintuża għal dik ir-raġuni.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Midja mingħajr test:''' Midja mingħajr test fuq il-Proġetti hija disponibbli taħt varjetà ta’ liċenzji differenti li jappoġġaw l-għan ġenerali li jippermettu użu mill-ġdid u distribuzzjoni mill-ġdid mingħajr restrizzjonijiet. Meta tikkontribwixxi midja mingħajr test, taqbel li tikkonforma mar-rekwiżiti għal tali liċenzji kif deskritt fil-[[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Politika tal-Liċenzjar tagħna]], u li tikkonforma wkoll mar-rekwiżiti tal-edizzjoni jew tal-karatteristika speċifika tal-Proġett li qed tikkontribwixxi għalih/a. Ara wkoll il-[[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Politika dwar il-Liċenzjar ta’ Wikimedia Commons]] għal aktar informazzjoni dwar il-kontribut ta’ midja mhux bit-test għal Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''L-ebda revoka tal-liċenzja:''' Ħlief kif ikun konsistenti mal-liċenzja tiegħek, inti taqbel li mhux se tirrevoka jew tfittex l-invalidazzjoni unilaterali ta’ xi liċenzja li tkun tajt taħt dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu għal kontenut ta’ test jew midja mhux ta’ test li ġie kkontribwit għall-Proġetti jew għall-karatteristiċi, anki jekk inti ttemm l-użu tas-servizzi tagħna.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Kontenut fid-dominju pubbliku:''' Nilqgħu kontenut li huwa fid-dominju pubbliku. Madankollu, huwa importanti li tikkonferma l-istatus tad-dominju pubbliku tal-kontenut taħt il-liġi tal-Istati Uniti tal-Amerika kif ukoll taħt il-liġijiet ta’ kwalunkwe pajjiż ieħor kif meħtieġ mill-edizzjoni speċifika tal-Proġett. Meta tikkontribwixxi kontenut li huwa fid-dominju pubbliku, tiggarantixxi li l-materjal huwa fil-fatt fid-dominju pubbliku, u taqbel li tittikkettah b’mod xieraq.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Użu mill-ġdid:''' Nilqgħu l-użu mill-ġdid tal-kontenut li aħna nospitaw għalkemm jeżistu eċċezzjonijiet għall-kontenut ikkontribwit taħt “użu ġust” jew eżenzjonijiet simili taħt il-liġi tad-drittijiet tal-awtur applikabbli. Kwalunkwe użu mill-ġdid għandu jkun konformi mal-liċenzja/i sottostanti.&lt;br /&gt;

Meta terġa’ tuża jew tqassam mill-ġdid paġna ta’ test żviluppata mill-komunità ta’ Wikimedia, taqbel li tattribwixxi l-awturi f’wieħed mill-modi li ġejjin:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Permezz ta’ iperlink (fejn possibbli) jew URL għall-paġna jew paġni li qed tuża mill-ġdid (peress li kull paġna għandha paġna tal-kronoloġija li telenka l-kontributuri, l-awturi u l-edituri kollha);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Permezz ta’ iperlink (fejn possibbli) jew URL għal kopja alternattiva, stabbli online li tkun aċċessibbli liberament, li tikkonforma mal-liċenzja, u li tipprovdi kreditu lill-awturi b’mod ekwivalenti għall-kreditu mogħti fuq is-Sit Web tal-Proġett; jew&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Permezz ta’ lista tal-awturi kollha (iżda jekk jogħġbok innota li kwalunkwe lista tal’ awturi tista’ tiġi ffiltrata biex jiġu esklużi kontribuzzjonijiet żgħar ħafna jew irrilevanti).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Jekk il-kontenut tat-test kien importat minn sors ieħor, huwa possibbli li l-kontenut ikun liċenzjat taħt liċenzja kompatibbli CC BY-SA iżda mhux GFDL (kif deskritt fl-“Importazzjoni tat-test,” hawn fuq). F’dak il-każ, taqbel li tikkonforma mal-liċenzja kompatibbli CC BY-SA u m’għandekx l-għażla li terġa’ tagħtiha il-liċenzja taħt GFDL. Biex tiddetermina l-liċenzja li tapplika għall-kontenut li qed tfittex li tuża mill-ġdid jew tqassam mill-ġdid, għandek tirrevedi l-footer tal-paġna, il-kronoloġija tal-paġna u l-paġna tad-diskussjoni.

Barra minn hekk, jekk jogħġbok kun konxju li t-test li oriġina minn sorsi esterni u ġie importat fi Proġett jista’ jkun taħt liċenzja li tehmeż rekwiżiti ta’ attribuzzjoni addizzjonali. L-utenti jaqblu li jindikaw dawn ir-rekwiżiti ta’ attribuzzjoni addizzjonali b’mod ċar. Skont il-Proġett, rekwiżiti bħal dawn jistgħu jidhru, pereżempju, fi strixxun jew f’notazzjonijiet oħra li jindikaw li xi kontenut jew li l-kontenut kollu kien oriġinarjament ippubblikat xi mkien ieħor. Fejn hemm notazzjonijiet viżibbli bħal dawn, dawk li jużaw mill-ġdid għandhom jippreservawhom.

Għal kwalunkwe midja mhux bit-test, inti taqbel li tikkonforma mal-liċenzja applikabbli li taħtha x-xogħol ikun sar disponibbli (li jista’ jiġi skopert billi tikklikkja fuq ix-xogħol u tħares lejn it-taqsima tal-liċenzjar fil-paġna tad-deskrizzjoni tagħha jew tirrevedi paġna tas-sors applikabbli għal dak ix-xogħol). Meta terġa’ tuża xi kontenut li aħna nospitaw, inti taqbel li tikkonforma mar-rekwiżiti ta’ attribuzzjoni rilevanti peress li għandhom x’jaqsmu mal-liċenzja jew liċenzji sottostanti.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modifiki jew żidiet għal materjal li tuża mill-ġdid:''' Meta timmodifika jew tagħmel żidiet mat-test li ksibt minn Websajt ta’ Proġett, taqbel li tagħti liċenzja għall-kontenut modifikat jew miżjud taħt CC BY-SA 4.0 jew aktar tard (jew, kif spjegat hawn fuq, taħt liċenzja oħra meta meħtieġa eċċezzjonalment mill-edizzjoni speċifika tal-Proġett jew tal-karatteristika).&lt;br /&gt;

Meta timmodifika jew tagħmel żidiet għal kwalunkwe midja mhux testwali li ksibt minn websajt tal-Proġett, inti taqbel li tagħti liċenzja għall-kontenut immodifikat jew miżjud skont kwalunkwe liċenzja li taħtha x-xogħol ikun sar disponibbli.&lt;br /&gt;

Kemm bil-kontenut testwali u kif ukoll bil-midja mhux testwali, inti taqbel li tindika b’mod ċar li x-xogħol oriġinali ġie mmodifikat. Jekk qed tuża mill-ġdid il-kontenut testwali f’wiki, huwa biżżejjed li tindika fl-istorja tal-paġna li għamilt bidla fit-test importat. Għal kull kopja jew verżjoni modifikata li tqassam, taqbel li tinkludi avviż ta’ liċenzjar li jiddikjara liema liċenzja x-xogħol huwa rilaxxat taħtha, flimkien ma’ iperlink jew URL għat-test tal-liċenzja jew kopja tal-liċenzja nnifisha.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Il-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia trid tiżgura li l-kontenut li nospitaw jista’ jerġa’ jintuża minn utenti oħra mingħajr biża’ ta’ responsabbiltà u li ma jkunx qed isir ksur tad-drittijiet tal-proprjetà ta’ ħaddieħor. B’mod ġust għall-utenti tagħna, kif ukoll għal ħallieqa oħra u detenturi tad-drittijiet tal-awtur, il-politika tagħna hija li nirrispondu għal notifiki tal-allegat ksur li jikkonformaw mal-formalitajiet tal-Att dwar id-Dritt tal-Millenju Diġitali (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA). Skont id-DMCA, aħna se ntemmu, f’ċirkostanzi xierqa, l-utenti u d-detenturi tal-kontijiet tas-sistema u n-netwerk tagħna li huma kontraventuri ripetuti fuq il-Proġetti u s-servizzi tagħna.

Madankollu, aħna nirrikonoxxu wkoll li mhux kull notifika għal tneħħija ser tkun valida jew in bona fide. F’każijiet bħal dawn, inħeġġu bil-qawwa lill-utenti biex jippreżentaw kontronotifiki meta jemmnu b’mod xieraq li talba għat-tneħħija tad-DMCA hija invalida jew mhux xierqa. Għal aktar informazzjoni dwar x’għandek tagħmel jekk taħseb li notifika tad-DMCA ġiet ippreżentata b’mod mhux xieraq, tista’ tikkonsulta s-sit web ta’ [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Jekk inti sid ta’ kontenut li qed jintuża ħażin fuq wieħed mill-Proġetti mingħajr il-permess tiegħek, tista’ titlob li l-kontenut jitneħħa billi tippreżenta notifika taħt id-DMCA. Biex tagħmel talba bħal din, jekk jogħġbok ibagħtilna email fuq {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} jew [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|ibgħat ittra lill-aġent apposta tagħna]].

Il-komunità għandha r-rwol primarju fil-ħolqien u fl-infurzar ta’ politiki li japplikaw għall-edizzjonijiet differenti tal-Proġett. Fil-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia, rari nintervjenu fid-deċiżjonijiet tal-komunità dwar il-politika u l-infurzar tagħha.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Huwa possibbli li tinnotifikana b’kontenut illegali, jew kontenut li jikser it-Termini tal-Użu tagħna (inklużi l-politiki kollha u dokumenti oħra inkorporati b’referenza) għal raġunijiet oħra [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|billi tikkuntattjana direttament]]. Madankollu, tista’ tipikament tagħmel talba direttament lill-komunità tal-Proġett: dan jista’ jkun aktar effiċjenti, u huwa aktar konsistenti mal-għan tal-Proġetti tagħna li jsaħħaħ lill-komunità tal-utenti.
&lt;/div&gt;


Normalment kull proġett jipprovdi paġni ta’ “Għajnuna” jew “Kuntatt” għal aktar gwida, jew għodod speċifiċi għar-rappurtar ta’ problemi. Inkella – jekk għandek dubju – tista’ titlob lill-membri tal-komunità għall-għajnuna, billi tibgħat email lil {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} jew indirizz aktar speċifiku għal-lingwa mill-[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|paġna tat-Tim ta’ Rispons tal-Voluntiera]]. Jekk jogħġbok innota li dawn il-kaxxi postali huma mmonitorjati mill-utenti tal-Proġetti, mhux mill-Fondazzjoni. Bħala riżultat, m’għandhomx jiġu mhedda jew maħruġa b’talbiet legali.

Jekk tikkuntattja lill-Fondazzjoni bi problema, aħna tipikament ser nesploraw jekk u kif il-mekkaniżmi eżistenti mmexxija mill-komunità jistgħux jinvestigaw u, fejn xieraq, isolvuha.

F’każ mhux tas-soltu, tista’ tinħoloq il-ħtieġa, jew il-komunità tista’ titlobna, biex nindirizzaw utent speċjalment problematiku jew kontenut speċjalment problematiku minħabba tfixkil sinifikanti tal-Proġett jew imġiba perikoluża. F’każijiet bħal dawn, aħna nirriżervaw id-dritt, fid-diskrezzjoni unika tagħna (jew fejn imġiegħla legalment), li:

* Ninvestigaw l-użu tiegħek tal-Proġetti jew is-servizzi tagħna (a) biex jiġi determinat jekk seħħx ksur ta’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu, tal-politika tal-edizzjoni tal-Proġett, jew ta’ liġi jew politika oħra applikabbli, jew (b) biex tikkonforma ma’ kwalunkwe liġi applikabbli, proċess legali, jew talba governattiva xierqa;
* Niskopru, nipprevjenu, jew b’xi mod ieħor nindirizzaw frodi, informazzjoni falza jew mhux verifikabbli, sigurtà, jew kwistjonijiet tekniċi jew li nirrispondu għal talbiet ta’ appoġġ għall-utent;
* Nirrifjutaw, inreġġgħu lura, niddiżattivaw jew nillimitaw l-aċċess għall-kontribuzzjonijiet ta’ xi utent li jikser dawn it-Termini tal-Użu;
* Nipprojbixxu utent milli jeditja jew jikkontribwixxi jew jimblokka l-kont jew l-aċċess ta’ utent għal azzjonijiet li jiksru dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, inkluż il-pubblikazzjoni ripetuta ta’ materjal illegali taħt il-liġi applikabbli f’konformità mal-prinċipji tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem;
* Nieħdu azzjoni legali kontra utenti li jiksru dawn it-Termini tal-Użu (inklużi rapporti lill-awtoritajiet tal-infurzar tal-liġi); u
* Nimmaniġġjaw b’mod ieħor is-siti web tal-Proġett b’mod imfassal biex jiffaċilita t-tħaddim xieraq tagħhom u jipproteġi d-drittijiet, il-proprjetà u s-sigurtà tagħna nfusna u tal-utenti, liċenzjaturi, imsieħba u pubbliku tagħna.

Fl-interessi tal-utenti tagħna u l-Proġetti, fiċ-ċirkustanza estrema li kwalunkwe individwu kellu l-kont jew l-aċċess tiegħu imblukkat taħt din it-taqsima, huma pprojbiti milli joħolqu jew jużaw kont ieħor fuq jew ifittxu aċċess għall-istess Proġett, sakemm ma nipprovdux espliċitament. permess.

Il-komunità tal-Wikimedia u l-membri tagħha jistgħu wkoll jieħdu azzjoni meta dan ikun permess mill-politiki tal-komunità jew tal-Fondazzjoni applikabbli għall-edizzjoni speċifika tal-Proġett, inkluż iżda mhux limitat għal twissija, investigazzjoni, imblukkar, jew projbizzjoni ta’ utenti li jiksru dawk il-politiki.

Utenti partikolarment problematiċi li kellhom kontijiet jew aċċess imblukkat fuq edizzjonijiet multipli tal-Proġett jistgħu jkunu soġġetti għal projbizzjoni mill-edizzjonijiet kollha tal-Proġett, skont il-Politika ta’ [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Projbizzjoni Globali]]. B’kuntrast mar-riżoluzzjonijiet tal-Bord jew dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, il-politiki stabbiliti mill-komunità, li jistgħu jkopru edizzjoni waħda ta’ Proġett jew edizzjonijiet multipli ta’ Proġetti (bħall-Politika ta’ Projbizzjoni Globali), jistgħu jiġu modifikati mill-komunità rilevanti skont il-proċeduri tagħha stess.

L-imblukkar ta’ kont jew aċċess jew il-projbizzjoni ta’ utent taħt din id-dispożizzjoni għandhom ikunu skont it-Taqsima 13 ta’ dawn it-Termini tal-Użu.

Jekk temmen li aħna ma ġibniex ruħna b’mod sodisfaċenti fuq rapport ta’ kontenut problematiku, jew jekk inti ġejt soġġett għal azzjoni ta’ moderazzjoni tal-Fondazzjoni li tixtieq tikkontesta, tkun tista’ [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|tissottometti appell]].

Għal każijiet inqas serji (eż. sa tliet emails miktuba b’mod edukat dwar ilment wieħed jew aktar mingħajr mertu), dan x’aktarx ikun temporanju. Komunikazzjonijiet aktar frekwenti jew aktar abbużivi huma aktar probabbli li jwasslu għal miżuri permanenti.

Il-Bord ta’ Trustees tal-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|joħroġ politiki uffiċjali]] minn żmien għal żmien. Xi wħud minn dawn il-politiki jistgħu jkunu obbligatorji għal Proġett jew edizzjoni ta’ Proġett partikolari, u, meta jkun hekk, taqbel li timxi magħhom kif applikabbli.

Aħna nagħmlu disponibbli sett ta’ APIs, li jinkludu dokumentazzjoni u għodod assoċjati, biex l-utenti jkunu jistgħu jibnu prodotti li jippromwovu l-għarfien b’xejn. Meta tuża l-APIs tagħna, inti taqbel li tirrispetta l-politiki applikabbli kollha li jirregolaw l-użu tal-APIs, li jinkludu iżda mhumiex limitati għall-[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Politika tal-Utent-Aġent]], il-[[wikitech:Robot policy|Politika dwar ir-Robots]], u l-[[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (kollettivament “Dokumentazzjoni tal-API”) , li huma inkorporati f’dawn it-Termini tal-Użu b’referenza.

F’ċerti ċirkustanzi (nittamaw li mhux probabbli) jista’ jkun meħtieġ jew għalina nfusna jew għall-komunità ta’ Wikimedia jew għall-membri tagħha (kif deskritt fit-Taqsima 10) li ntemmu parti jew is-servizzi kollha tagħna, intemmu dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, nimblukkaw il-kont jew l-aċċess tiegħek, jew ma nħallukx tkun utent. Jekk il-kont jew l-aċċess tiegħek jiġi mblukkat jew mitmum mod ieħor għal kwalunkwe raġuni, il-kontribuzzjonijiet pubbliċi tiegħek u r-rekord tal-attivitajiet tiegħek fuq jew rigward il-Proġetti (inkluża kwalunkwe korrispondenza li bgħattilna) ma jiġux affettwati (skont il-politiki applikabbli), u xorta tkun tista’ taċċessa l-paġni pubbliċi tagħna għall-iskop uniku li taqra kontenut disponibbli pubblikament fuq il-Proġetti.

Anke wara li l-użu u l-parteċipazzjoni tiegħek jiġu pprojbiti, imblukkati jew sospiżi b’xi mod ieħor, dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu ser jibqgħu fis-seħħ rigward id-dispożizzjonijiet rilevanti, inklużi t-Taqsimiet 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, u 18.

Nittamaw li ma jinqala’ ebda nuqqas ta’ qbil serju li jinvolvik, iżda, f’każ li jkun hemm tilwima, inħeġġuk tfittex soluzzjoni permezz tal-proċeduri jew tal-mekkaniżmi ta’ riżoluzzjoni tat-tilwim ipprovduti mill-Proġetti jew mill-edizzjonijiet tal-Proġett u l-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia. Jekk tfittex li tippreżenta talba legali kontra tagħna, taqbel li tippreżentaha u ssolviha esklussivament f’qorti statali jew federali li tinsab fil-Kontea ta’ San Francisco, California. Taqbel ukoll li l-liġijiet tal-Istat ta’ Kalifornja u, sal-punt applikabbli, il-liġijiet tal-Istati Uniti tal-Amerika se jirregolaw dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, kif ukoll kwalunkwe pretensjoni legali li tista’ tinqala’ bejnek u bejnietna (mingħajr referenza għal prinċipji tal-kunflitt tal-liġijiet). Inti taqbel li tissottometti għall-ġurisdizzjoni personali ta’, u taqbel li l-post huwa xieraq fil-qrati li jinsabu fil-Kontea ta’ San Francisco, California, fi kwalunkwe azzjoni legali jew proċediment relatat magħna jew ma’ dawn it-Termini tal-Użu.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Biex tiżgura li t-tilwim jiġi ttrattat malajr wara li jinqalgħu, inti taqbel li irrispettivament minn kwalunkwe statut jew liġi kuntrarja, kwalunkwe talba jew kawża ta’ azzjoni li jista’ jkollok li tirriżulta minn jew li tkun relatata mal-użu tas-servizzi tagħna jew ma’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu trid tiġi ppreżentata fi ħdan l-istatut tal-limitazzjonijiet applikabbli jew, jekk qabel, sena (1) wara li l-fatti pertinenti sottostanti ta’ tali talba jew tal-kawża ta’ azzjoni setgħu ġew skoperti b’diliġenza raġonevoli (jew jiġu mblukkati għal dejjem).

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Kif deskritt fit-taqsima 4 ta’ dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, inti taqbel li ssolvi l-ksur tal-Kontribuzzjonijiet Imħallsa mingħajr Żvelar ta’ Medjazzjoni ta’ Kumpanija ta’ Kummerċjalizzazzjoni fid-diskrezzjoni tal-Fondazzjoni. Il-Medjazzjonijiet tal-Kumpaniji tal-Kummerċjalizzazzjoni huma medjazzjoni vinkolanti fejn, fi tmiem jew sessjoni ta’ nofs jum jew ġurnata sħiħa, kwalunkwe oġġett ikkontestat li jibqa’ mhux solvut jiġi deċiż mill-medjatur f’deċiżjoni li torbot legalment. Dawn se jsiru f’laqgħat permezz ta’ telekonferenza jew vidjokonferenza. Jekk tkun meħtieġa laqgħa personalment, allura l-medjazzjoni tal-Kumpanija tal-Kummerċjalizzazzjoni se ssir fil-Kontea ta’ San Francisco, California. Il-partijiet se jaqsmu l-miżati u l-ispejjeż kollha relatati mal-medjazzjoni/arbitraġġ indaqs.

Inti taqbel, bħala parti minn Medjazzjoni tal-Kumpanija tal-Kummerċjalizzazzjoni, li tikkoopera mal-Fondazzjoni, inkluż billi tipprovdi f’waqtha kwalunkwe dokumentazzjoni fil-pussess tiegħek relatata mal-attivitajiet ta’ editjar mhux żvelati tiegħek, inklużi l-kontijiet użati, l-artikoli affettwati, u l-klijenti li xtraw dawn is-servizzi.

Il-medjazzjoni tal-Kumpaniji tal-Kummerċjalizzazzjoni huma suġġetti għal u rregolati mill-Att Federali ta’ Arbitraġġ sal-punt li l-midjatur isir arbitru. Il-parti prevalenti għandha tkun intitolata li tirkupra d-drittijiet tal-avukati tagħha (inklużi l-miżati kollha meħtieġa biex tiddetermina l-applikabilità tal-medjazzjoni tal-Kumpanija tal-Kummerċjalizzazzjoni u biex tinforza r-riżultat vinkolanti) u l-ispejjeż kollha relatati mal-investigazzjoni u l-infurzar tad-drittijiet tagħha. Parti tista’ titqies bħala “prevalenti” anki jekk ma tirnexxix fuq kull talba affermata.

Jekk għal xi raġuni l-intier ta’ dawn ir-rekwiżiti tal-medjazzjoni tal-Kumpanija tal-Kummerċjalizzazzjoni jinstabu li mhumiex infurzabbli, inti taqbel li ssolvi kwalunkwe tilwim kif deskritt fil-bidu ta’ din it-taqsima.

Hekk kif l-input tal-komunità Wikimedia huwa essenzjali għat-tkabbir u l-manutenzjoni tal-Proġetti, aħna nemmnu li l-kontribut tal-komunità huwa essenzjali biex dawn it-Termini tal-Użu jaqdu sew lill-utenti tagħna. Huwa wkoll essenzjali għal kuntratt ġust. Għalhekk, aħna ser nipprovdu dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, kif ukoll kwalunkwe reviżjoni sostanzjali futura ta’ dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, lill-komunità biex tikkummenta mill-inqas tletin (30) jum qabel it-tmiem tal-perjodu ta’ kummenti. Jekk reviżjoni proposta futura tkun sostanzjali, aħna nipprovdu 30 jum addizzjonali għall-kummenti, wara li npoġġu traduzzjoni tar-reviżjoni proposta f’mill-inqas tliet lingwi (magħżula fid-diskrezzjoni tagħna). Il-komunità se tkun imħeġġa tittraduċi r-reviżjoni proposta f’lingwi oħra kif xieraq. Għal bidliet għal raġunijiet legali jew amministrattivi, biex tikkoreġi dikjarazzjoni mhux preċiża, jew bidliet bi tweġiba għall-kummenti tal-komunità, aħna ser nipprovdu mill-inqas avviż ta’ tlett (3) ijiem.

Minħabba li jista’ jkun meħtieġ li jiġu modifikati dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu minn żmien għal żmien, aħna ser nipprovdu avviż ta’ tali modifiki u l-opportunità għall-kummenti permezz tas-siti web tal-Proġett, u permezz ta’ notifika fuq [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Madankollu, nitolbu li jekk jogħġbok tirrevedi perjodikament l-aktar verżjoni aġġornata ta’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu. L-użu kontinwu tiegħek tas-servizzi tagħna wara li t-Termini tal-Użu l-ġodda jsiru uffiċjali wara l-perjodu ta’ avviż u reviżjoni jikkostitwixxi aċċettazzjoni ta’ dawn it-Termini tal-Użu min-naħa tiegħek.

Dawn it-Termini tal-Użu ma joħolqux impjieg, aġenzija, sħubija, kontroll konġunt jew relazzjoni ta’ impriża konġunta bejnek u bejnna, il-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia. Għall-finijiet tal-liġi taż-Żona Ekonomika Ewropea, il-liġi tar-Renju Unit, jew liġijiet oħra li jinvolvu kunċett simili, inti m’intix qed taġixxi “taħt l-awtorità” tal-Fondazzjoni meta tuża s-servizzi. Jekk ma ffirmajtx ftehim separat magħna, dawn it-Termini tal-Użu ser ikunu l-ftehim kollu bejnek u bejnietna. Jekk ikun hemm xi kunflitt bejn dawn it-Termini tal-Użu u ftehim iffirmat bil-miktub bejnek u magħna, il-ftehim iffirmat ser jieħu preċedenza.

Inti taqbel li nistgħu nipprovdulek avviżi, inklużi dawk dwar bidliet fit-Termini tal-Użu, permezz ta’ email, posta normali, jew posts fuq il-Proġetti jew fuq is-siti web tal-Proġetti.

Jekk fi kwalunkwe ċirkostanza, aħna ma napplikaw jew ninfurzaw l-ebda dispożizzjoni ta’ dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, din ma tifissirx rinunzja għal dik id-dispożizzjoni.

Inti tifhem li, sakemm ma jkunx miftiehem mod ieħor bil-miktub minna, m’għandek l-ebda aspettattiva ta’ kumpens għal kwalunkwe attività, kontribuzzjoni, jew idea li tipprovdilna, li tipprovdi lill-komunità, jew lill-Proġetti jew lill-edizzjonijiet ta’ Proġett.

Minkejja kwalunkwe dispożizzjoni kuntrarja f’dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu, aħna (il-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia) u inti naqblu li ma nimmodifikawx it-termini u r-rekwiżiti applikabbli ta’ kwalunkwe liċenzja b’xejn li tkun applikata fuq il-Proġetti jew fuq l-edizzjonijiet ta’ Proġett meta tali liċenzja ħielsa tkun awtorizzata minn dawn it-Termini tal-Użu.

Dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu nkitbu bl-Ingliż (U.S.). Filwaqt li nittamaw li t-traduzzjonijiet ta’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu huma preċiżi, f’każ ta’ xi differenzi fit-tifsira bejn il-verżjoni oriġinali bl-Ingliż u traduzzjoni, il-verżjoni oriġinali bl-Ingliż tieħu preċedenza.

Jekk xi dispożizzjoni jew parti minn dispożizzjoni ta’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu tinstab li hija illegali, nulla, jew mhux infurzabbli, dik id-dispożizzjoni jew parti minnha titqies separata minn dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu u tiġi infurzata sal-limitu massimu permissibbli, filwaqt li d-dispożizzjonijiet l-oħra kollha ta’ dawn it-Termini ta’ Użu jibqgħu fis-seħħ bis-sħiħ.

Napprezzaw li tieħu l-ħin biex taqra dawn it-Termini tal-Użu, u ninsabu kuntenti ħafna li ser tikkontribwixxi għall-Proġetti u li ser tuża s-servizzi tagħna.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Disrupting the services by inundating any of the Project Websites with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the Project website for its stated purpose;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.

You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Terms of Use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|1}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:

Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we do our best to provide educational and informational content to a very wide audience, but your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

{{Tunit|1=106|2=''Highlighted for emphasis''}}

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1.ჩქინი ნინალა ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;4._Refraining_from_Certain_Activities&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==4. კანკალე საქვარუაშე დუდიშ მოკინება==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.

We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.

This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.

Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.

:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

We make available a set of APIs, which include documentation and associated tools, to enable users to build products that promote free knowledge. By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

''Highlighted for emphasis''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We provide these services on an &quot;as is&quot; and &quot;as available&quot; basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

'''''تخيّل واحد لعالم فين كل بنادم كيعيش فوق لأرض عندو أكصي ل مجموع لمعرفة لبشرية. هادشي لي كانواعدو بيه.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

== Cross domain jQuery ajax request does not send Api-User-Agent header ==

I have a JavaScript gadget hosted on wikidata.org ([[d:User:Bamyers99/PhotoNearby.js]]) that makes a call to commons.wikimedia.org. The Api-User-Agent header is not sent by the jQuery ajax request. Any suggestions? [[User:Bamyers99|Bamyers99]] ([[User talk:Bamyers99|talk]]) 02:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

== Copyedits and small updates ==

{{Edit request}}

Remove the notice &quot;This page is purely informative...&quot;

Change first sentence to: &quot;All HTTP requests to Wikimedia sites must have an accurate and informative [[:en:User-Agent|User-Agent]] header.&quot; 

Change second sentence (&quot;This was an operative decision&quot;) to &quot;This policy was adopted in February 2010&quot; and move to a new background section.

Move third sentence (&quot;The rationale is..without benefiting the projects&quot;) to the new background section. 

Update last paragraph in intro section (&quot;As of 2015...specific cases as needed.&quot;) as follows: &quot;As of 2025, Wikimedia sites do not automatically reject all requests that violate this policy. Rather, the policy is enforced in specific cases as needed.&quot;

Remove the first paragraph in the code examples section (&quot;On Wikimedia wikis...may have similar policies.&quot;) This duplicates other information and is inaccurate (requests ''may'' fail, but will not necessarily do so).

Background: I was reading this page and was confused about whether blank or non-descriptive user agents are automatically blocked. I got confirmation from SRE that they are not, so I wanted to update this page to confirm. I also wanted to do a little cleanup while I'm at it 😊 [[User:Neil Shah-Quinn (WMF)|Neil Shah-Quinn (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Neil Shah-Quinn (WMF)|talk]]) 19:48, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

== Missing space ==

{{Edit request}}
The sentence starting with &quot;If you run a bot, please send a User-Agent header identifying the bot with an identifier that isn't going to be confused with many other bots&quot; should have a space before it, separating it from the reference after the previous sentence.

'''''Har bir inson barcha bilimlar yigʻindisidan erkin foydalanishi mumkin boʻlgan dunyoni tasavvur qiling. Bunday dunyoni yaratish bizning majburiyatimiz.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Bizning ochiqligimiz bayonoti]]

Wikimediaga xush kelibsiz!  Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (bundan buyon „biz“, „bizning“, „Fond“, „jamgʻarma“ deyiladi) notijorat xayriya tashkiloti boʻlib, bosh qarorgohi Qoʻshma Shtatlarning Kaliforniya shtati San-Fransisko shahrida joylashgan. Uning vazifasi huquq va imkoniyatlarni kengaytirishdan iborat. Butun dunyo boʻylab odamlarni erkin litsenziya ostida yoki jamoat mulkida kontent toʻplash va ishlab chiqish hamda uni samarali va global miqyosda erkin tarqatish uchun jalb qilishni maqsad qilgan.

Jonli hamjamiyatimizni qoʻllab-quvvatlash uchun biz koʻp tilli viki-loyihalar va ularning nashrlarini (matnda „Loyihalar“ deb yuritiladi) rivojlantirish uchun muhim infratuzilma va tashkiliy asoslarni taqdim etamiz. Ushbu missiyaga xizmat qiladigan saʼy-harakatlarni biz Loyihalardagi taʼlim va axborot mazmunini Internetda doimiy ravishda bepul qilish va saqlashga intilamiz.

Sizni hissa qoʻshuvchisi sifatida tabriklaymiz va sizni Wikimedia hamjamiyatiga qo‘shilishga taklif qilamiz. Ishtirok etishdan oldin sizdan quyidagi Foydalanish shartlarini oʻqib chiqishingizni va rozi boʻlishingizni soʻraymiz.
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Ushbu Foydalanish shartlari sizga Wikimedia jamgʻarmasidagi xizmatlarimiz, foydalanuvchi sifatida sizga boʻlgan munosabatimiz, ikkalamizni boshqaradigan huquq va majburiyatlarimiz haqida maʼlumot beradi. Biz aql bovar qilmaydigan miqdordagi taʼlim va maʼlumotga oid kontentni joylashtiramiz, ularning barchasi siz kabi foydalanuvchilar tomonidan qoʻshilgandir. Odatda biz kontentga hissa qoʻshmaymiz, kuzatmaymiz yoki oʻchirib tashlamaymiz. Kamdan-kam hollarda, masalan, ushbu Foydalanish shartlari kabi siyosatlarga muvofiq, qonuniy muvofiqlik uchun yoki jiddiy zarar yetkazish tahdidiga duch kelganda istisno qilishimiz mumkin. Bu shuni anglatadiki, tahririyat nazorati siz va kontentni yaratadigan va boshqaradigan boshqa foydalanuvchilarning qoʻlida.

Hamjamiyat — doimiy ravishda loyihalarni va/yoki ularning veb-saytlarini yaratuvchi, ulardan foydalanadigan foydalanuvchilar tarmogʻi (bu yerda „Loyiha veb-saytlari“ deb ataladi) missiya maqsadlariga erishishning asosiy vositasidir. Hamjamiyat bizning loyihalarimiz va loyiha veb-saytlarimizni boshqarishga hissa qoʻshadi va yordam beradi. Hamjamiyat, shuningdek, loyihaning muayyan loyihalari (masalan, Wikimedia Commons) uchun siyosat yaratish va amalga oshirishning muhim vazifasini oʻz zimmasiga oladi.

Siz, foydalanuvchi, hissa qoʻshuvchi, muharrir yoki muallif sifatida qoʻshilishingizdan mamnunmiz. Siz loyihaning Umumjahon xulq-atvor kodeksiga (UCoC), yaʼni loyihaning barcha nashrlariga tegishli siyosatlariga amal qilishingiz kerak. Loyihalarimiz orasida eng kattasi Vikipediya, lekin biz boshqa loyihalarni ham qoʻllaymiz, ularning har biri turli maqsadlarga va ish uslublariga amal qiladi. Kontent yaratish va boshqarish uchun birgalikda ishlaydigan ishtirokchilar, muharrirlar yoki mualliflar jamoasi mavjud. Siz ushbu jamoalarga qoʻshilishingiz va ular bilan ushbu loyihalarni yaxshilash uchun ishlashingiz mumkin. Biz kontentni jamoatchilikka erkin foydalanishga bagʻishlaganimiz sababli, siz qoʻshgan kontent erkin litsenziya ostida taqdim etiladi yoki jamoat mulki sifatida chiqariladi.

Amerika Qoʻshma Shtatlari qonunlari va boshqa amaldagi qonunlar (shu jumladan siz yashaydigan hududdagi qonunlar ham) doirasida Wikimedia kontentiga qoʻshgan barcha hissalaringiz va tahrirlaringiz uchun qonuniy javobgar ekanligingizni unutmang. Bu kontentni joylashtirish, oʻzgartirish yoki qayta ishlatishda ehtiyot boʻlish muhimligini anglatadi. Ushbu masʼuliyatni hisobga olgan holda, bizda siz nima qila olmasligingiz haqida baʼzi qoidalar mavjud. Ularning aksariyati oʻzingizni himoya qilish yoki oʻzingiz kabi boshqa foydalanuvchilarni himoya qilish uchundir. Yodda tutingki, biz joylashtirgan kontent faqat umumiy maʼlumot olish uchun moʻljallangan, shuning uchun sizga maʼlum bir savol (masalan, tibbiy, yuridik yoki moliyaviy masalalar) boʻyicha mutaxassis maslahati kerak boʻlsa, tegishli mutaxassisdan yordam soʻrashingiz kerak. Biz boshqa muhim bildirishnomalar va rad etishlarni ham oʻz ichiga olamiz, shuning uchun ushbu Foydalanish shartlarini toʻliq oʻqib chiqing.

Mahalliy Vikimedia boʻlimlari va birlashmalar kabi bir xil missiyada ishtirok etishi mumkin boʻlgan boshqa tashkilotlar qonuniy jihatdan mustaqil va Vikimedia jamgʻarmasidan alohidadir. Agar jamgʻarma tomonidan maʼlum bir loyiha veb-saytida vakolatli shaxs sifatida boshqacha tartib belgilanmagan boʻlsa, ushbu boshqa tashkilotlar loyiha veb-sayti yoki uning mazmuni faoliyati uchun javobgar emas.

&lt;span id=&quot;1._Our_Services&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 1. Xizmatlarimiz ==

Vikimedia jamgʻarmasi bepul koʻp tilli kontentning oʻsishi, rivojlanishi va tarqalishini ragʻbatlantirish va ushbu loyihalarning toʻliq mazmunini jamoatchilik uchun erkin joylashtirishga bagʻishlangan. Bizning vazifamiz dunyodagi eng yirik, hamkorlikda tahrirlangan loyihalarini qoʻllashdir. Biroq, biz infratuzilma va tashkiliy asosni saqlab, faqat hosting xizmati provayderi sifatida ishlaymiz. Ushbu infratuzilma va tizim foydalanuvchilarga oʻzlari hissa qoʻshish va tarkibni tahrirlash orqali loyihalarni yaratishga imkon beradi. Biz qoʻllab-quvvatlaydigan infratuzilma foydalanuvchilarga loyihalar („Ilova dasturlash interfeysi“ yoki „API“ deb ataladi) va mobil ilovalardagi kontent bilan dasturiy tarzda oʻzaro aloqada boʻlish, foydalanish imkonini beruvchi maxsus texnologik infratuzilmani oʻz ichiga oladi.

Bizning xizmatlarimiz quyidagilardan iborat: Biz joylashtirgan loyiha veb-saytlari, biz qoʻllab-quvvatlaydigan texnologik infratuzilma, loyihalarimizni saqlash va takomillashtirish uchun joylashtirgan har qanday texnik joylar.

Siz loyihalar va boshqa foydalanuvchilar bilan boʻlgan munosabatlarimizni koʻrib chiqishda bir nechta narsaga eʼtibor berishingiz kerak:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Biz foydalanuvchi vazifasini oʻz zimmamizga olmaymiz:''' loyihalar hamkorlikda tahrirlanganligi sababli, biz joylashtirgan kontentning katta qismi foydalanuvchilar tomonidan taqdim etiladi va biz tahrirchi rolini oʻz zimmamizga olmaymiz. Bu shuni anglatadiki, biz odatda loyiha veb-saytlari tarkibini kuzatmaymiz, tahrirlamaymiz va biz ushbu kontent uchun hech qanday javobgarlikni oʻz zimmamizga olmaymiz. Biz xizmatlarimiz orqali bildirilgan har qanday fikrni maʼqullamaymiz va loyihalar boʻyicha taqdim etilgan har qanday material haqqoniyligi, toʻgʻriligi yoki ishonchliligini ifodalamaymiz yoki kafolatlamaymiz.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Siz oʻzingizning harakatlaringiz uchun javobgarsiz:''' loyihalardagi oʻzgartirishlaringiz va qoʻshgan hissalaringiz, loyihalardagi kontentdan qayta foydalanish, APIlardan foydalanish va umuman xizmatlarimizdan foydalanishingiz uchun qonunan javobgarsiz. Oʻzingizni himoya qilish uchun siz ehtiyot boʻlishingiz va amaldagi qonunlarga muvofiq jinoiy yoki fuqarolik javobgarligiga sabab boʻladigan har qanday harakatlardan qochishingiz kerak. Aniqlik uchun, amaldagi qonunlar kamida Amerika Qoʻshma Shtatlari qonunlarini oʻz ichiga oladi. Boshqa mamlakatlar uchun bu holat alohida belgilanadi. Biz bunday harakatlarga rozi boʻlmasak-da, foydalanuvchilarni, xususan, foydalanuvchilar va mualliflarni ogohlantiramiz: rasmiylar sizga nisbatan mahalliy qonunlar asosida jazo qoʻllashga harakat qilishi mumkin. Biz odatda bunday qonunlarning qoʻllanilishiga qarshi hech qanday himoya, kafolat, immunitetni taklif qila olmaymiz.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;span id=&quot;2._Privacy_Policy&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 2. Maxfiylik siyosati ==

Maʼlumotlaringizni qanday toʻplashimiz va ishlatishimizdan xabardor boʻlishingiz uchun sizdan maxfiylik siyosatimiz shartlarini koʻrib chiqishingizni soʻraymiz.

&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Siz baʼzi materiallarni nomaqbul yoki notoʻgʻri deb bilishingiz mumkin:''' Biz boshqa foydalanuvchilar tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan yoki toʻplangan juda koʻp kontentni joylashtirganimiz uchun siz haqoratomuz, xato, chalgʻituvchi yoki boshqa nomaqbul deb topilgan materiallarga duch kelishingiz mumkin. Shuning uchun xizmatlarimizdan foydalanishda sogʻlom fikr va toʻgʻri mulohaza yuritishingizni soʻraymiz.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Loyihalar mazmuni faqat umumiy maʼlumot uchun moʻljallangan:''' loyihalarimiz professional mavzularga, jumladan, tibbiy, yuridik yoki moliyaviy masalalarga taalluqli koʻplab maʼlumotlarni oʻz ichiga olsa-da, bu kontent faqat umumiy maʼlumot olish uchun taqdim etiladi. Buni professional maslahat sifatida qabul qilmaslik kerak. Iltimos, loyiha veb-saytlaridan birida mavjud boʻlgan har qanday maʼlumot, fikr yoki maslahat boʻyicha harakat qilmang. Tegishli sohada tajribaga ega yoki malakali shaxsdan mustaqil professional maslahat soʻrang.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

== 4. Baʼzi ishlardan voz kechish ==

Vikimedia jamgʻarmasi loyihalari faqat siz kabi kontentni yozish, tahrirlash va saralashda hamkorlik qiladigan faol foydalanuvchilar jamoasi tufayli mavjud. Sizning ushbu hamjamiyatdagi ishtirokingizdan mamnunmiz. Biz sizni jamiyatdagi boshqalar bilan muloqotda xushmuomala boʻlishingizni, vijdonan harakat qilishingizni hamda loyihaning umumiy missiyasini amalga oshirishga qaratilgan tahrir va hissa qoʻshishingizni tavsiya qilamiz. Biz barcha foydalanuvchilardan Umumjahon xulq-atvor kodeksini („UCoC“) koʻrib chiqishlarini va ularga rioya qilishlarini soʻraymiz. Unda biz mezbonlik qiladigan barcha loyihalar boʻyicha hamkorlik talablari belgilangan.

Amaldagi qonunga koʻra qonuniy yoki noqonuniy boʻlishidan qatʼi nazar, baʼzi faoliyatlar boshqa foydalanuvchilarga ziyon yetkazishi va bizning qoidalarimizni buzishi mumkin. Bundan tashqari, ayrim harakatlar sizni javobgarlikka tortishga sabab boʻlishi mumkin. Shuning uchun, oʻzingiz va boshqa foydalanuvchilarni himoya qilish maqsadida, siz bizning Loyihalarimizda bunday faoliyatlar bilan shugʻullanmasligingiz yoki ulardan boshqa maqsadlarda foydalanmasligingiz lozim. Bu taqiqlangan faoliyatlarga quyidagilar kiradi:

Kompensatsiya oladigan foydalanuvchilar tomonidan oshkor qilinmagan tahrirlar hamjamiyat siyosatlarini tekshiruvchi va tatbiq etuvchi koʻngilli muharrirlarga asossiz yuklama yaratadi. Shu sababli, ushbu boʻlimning oshkor etilmagan pulli tahrirlash bilan bogʻliq qoidabuzarliklari uchun siz ushbu Foydalanish shartlarining 14-boʻlimida tavsiflanganidek, majburiy „Med-Arb“ („Marketing kompaniyasi vositachiligi“) ga murojaat qilishga rozilik berasiz.

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Kontentni litsenziyalash ==

Erkin bilim va erkin madaniyatning umumiy tomonlarini rivojlantirish uchun loyihalar yoki loyiha veb-saytlariga hissa qoʻshayotgan barcha foydalanuvchilar keng jamoatchilikka oʻz hissalarini erkin tarqatish va qayta ishlatishlari uchun ruxsat olishlari kerak. Agar bunday foydalanish toʻgʻri taqsimlangan va bir xil erkinlik berilgan bo'lsa, undan qayta foydalanish uchun ruxsat etiladi. Imkoni boricha kengroq auditoriyani erkin maʼlumot bilan taʼminlash maqsadimizga muvofiq. Biz, kerak boʻlganda, taqdim etilgan barcha kontentdan litsenziyaga ega boʻlishini talab qilamiz.

Siz quyidagi litsenziyalash talablariga rozilik bildirasiz:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Mualliflik huquqi bilan himoyalangan matn:''' Mualliflik huquqi bilan himoyalangan matnni chop qilganingizda, siz uni quyidagilarga asosan litsenziyalashga rozilik bildirasiz:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (oʻzgartirilmagan, qisman oʻzgartirilmagan, old yoki orqa muqovadagi matn).

Takroriy foydalanuvchilar ikkala litsenziya qoidalariga ham amal qilishlari mumkin.&lt;br /&gt;
Loyiha nashri yoki funksiyasi boshqa litsenziyani talab qilsa, yagona istisno mavjud. Bunday holda, siz Loyiha nashri yoki funksiyasida belgilangan muayyan litsenziya asosida o‘zingiz kiritgan har qanday matnni litsenziyalashga rozilik bildirasiz.

Shuni yodda tutingki, ushbu litsenziyalar hissalaringizdan tijoriy maqsadlarda foydalanishga ruxsat beradi, faqat bunday foydalanish tegishli litsenziyalar shartlariga muvofiq boʻlsa. Sui Generis maʼlumotlar bazasi huquqlari CC BY-SA 4.0 tomonidan himoyalangan boʻlsa, siz bu huquqlardan voz kechasiz. Misol tariqasida, bu siz loyihalarga hissa qoʻshgan faktlar hech qanday atributsiz qayta ishlatilishi mumkinligini anglatadi.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Atributsiya''': Atributsiya ushbu litsenziyalarning muhim qismi hisoblanadi. Biz buni munosib tarzda eʼtirof etish, yaʼni siz kabi mualliflarga tegishli hurmatni koʻrsatish deb hisoblaymiz. Siz matn kiritganingizda, quyidagi usullardan biri orqali sizga atributsiya berilishiga rozilik bildirasiz:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Siz hissa qoʻshgan maqolaga giperhavola (imkon boʻlsa) yoki URL orqali (chunki har bir maqolaning barcha hissa qoʻshuvchilar, mualliflar va muharrirlar roʻyxati keltirilgan tarix sahifasi mavjud);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Siz hissa qoʻshgan maqolaga giperhavola (imkon boʻlsa) yoki URL orqali (chunki har bir maqolaning barcha hissa qoʻshuvchilar, mualliflar va muharrirlar roʻyxati keltirilgan tarix sahifasi mavjud);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Barcha mualliflar roʻyxati orqali (lekin eʼtibor bering, har qanday mualliflar roʻyxati juda kichik yoki ahamiyatsiz hissalarni istisno qilish uchun filtrlanishi mumkin).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Matnni olib oʻtish:''' Siz boshqa joyda topgan yoki boshqalar bilan hammualliflikda yaratgan matnni olib oʻtishingiz mumkin, lekin bunday holatda siz matn CC BY-SA (yoki yuqorida tushuntirilganidek, loyiha nashri yoki funksiyasi tomonidan istisno tariqasida talab qilingan boshqa litsenziya) bilan mos keladigan shartlar asosida mavjudligini tasdiqlaysiz va kafolatlaysiz. Mos litsenziyalar roʻyxati uchun [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]ga qarang. Faqat GFDL shaklida mavjud boʻlgan kontentni import qilmaysiz.&lt;br /&gt;

Agar mualliflik huquqi talab qilinadigan CC litsenziyasi asosida matn yozsangiz, muallif(lar)ni asosli ravishda tasdiqlashingiz kerakligiga rozilik bildirasiz. Bunday qaydlarni odatda sahifalar tarixida qayd etilgan tahrirlash xulosasida atributni berish kifoya. Atribut talablari baʼzan maʼlum holatlar uchun (litsenziyadan qatʼiy nazar) juda murakkab boʻlib, baʼzan Vikimedia hamjamiyati import qilingan matndan shu sababga koʻra foydalanish mumkin emas degan qarorga kelishi mumkin.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Matnsiz media''': Loyihalardagi matnsiz media cheklanmagan qayta foydalanish va qayta tarqatishga ruxsat berish umumiy maqsadini qoʻllab-quvvatlaydigan turli xil litsenziyalar ostida mavjud. Matnsiz mediaga hissa qoʻshganingizda, siz bizning [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Litsenziyalash siyosatimizda]] tavsiflangan litsenziya talablariga rioya qilishga, shuningdek, siz hissa qoʻshayotgan muayyan loyiha talablariga rioya qilishga rozilik bildirasiz. Shuningdek, Vikiomborga matnli boʻlmagan ommaviy axborot vositalarini kiritish haqida batafsil maʼlumot olish uchun [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Vikiombor litsenziyalash siyosati]]ga qarang.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ruxsatni bekor qilmaslik''': Sizning litsenziyangizga mos kelgan holatlar bundan mustasno, siz xizmatlarimizdan foydalanishni toʻxtatsangiz ham, ushbu Foydalanish shartlariga muvofiq Loyihalar yoki xususiyatlarga qoʻshgan matnli tarkib yoki matndan tashqari media uchun bergan har qanday ruxsatingizni bir tomonlama bekor qilmaslik yoki haqiqiy emas deb topishni soʻramaslikka rozilik bildirasiz.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ommaviy mulk hisoblanadigan kontent''': Ommaviy mulk hisoblangan kontent mamnuniyat bilan qabul qilinadi. Biroq, siz mamlakatlar qonunlariga koʻra kontentning ommaviy mulk maqomini tasdiqlashingiz muhimdir. Ommaviy mulk hisoblangan kontentni qoʻshganingizda, material haqiqatan ham ommaviy mulk ekanligiga kafolat berasiz va uni tegishli tarzda belgilashga rozilik bildirasiz.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Qayta foydalanish: Biz joylashtirgan kontentdan qayta foydalanish mamnuniyat bilan qabul qilinadi, ammo „adolatli foydalanish“ yoki amaldagi mualliflik huquqi qonunlariga koʻra shunga oʻxshash istisnolar mavjud. Har qanday qayta foydalanish asosiy litsenziya(lar)ga muvofiq boʻlishi shart.&lt;br /&gt;

Vikimedia hamjamiyati tomonidan yaratilgan matn sahifasidan qayta foydalanganingizda yoki uni qayta tarqatganingizda, mualliflarni quyidagi usullardan biri orqali koʻrsatishga rozilik bildirasiz:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Siz qayta foydalanayotgan sahifa yoki sahifalarga giperhavola (imkon boʻlsa) yoki URL orqali (chunki har bir sahifada barcha hissa qoʻshuvchilar, mualliflar va muharrirlar roʻyxati keltirilgan tarix sahifasi mavjud);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Litsenziyaga mos keladigan, mualliflarga Loyiha veb-saytidagi kabi teng darajada eʼtibor beradigan, muqobil, barqaror va erkin foydalanish mumkin boʻlgan onlayn nusxaga giperhavola (imkon boʻlsa) yoki URL orqali; yoki&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Barcha mualliflar roʻyxati orqali (lekin eʼtibor bering, har qanday mualliflar roʻyxati juda kichik yoki ahamiyatsiz hissalarni istisno qilish uchun filtrlanishi mumkin).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Agar matn boshqa manbadan import qilingan boʻlsa, bu kontent GFDL emas, balki mos CC BY-SA litsenziyasi asosida litsenziyalangan boʻlishi mumkin (yuqoridagi „Matnni import qilish“ boʻlimida tavsiflanganidek). Bunday holda, siz mos [[:uz:CC BY-SA|CC BY-SA]] litsenziyasiga rozilik bildirasiz va uni GFDL asosida qayta litsenziyalash imkoniyatiga ega emassiz. Qayta ishlatmoqchi yoki qayta tarqatmoqchi boʻlgan kontentga tegishli litsenziyani aniqlash uchun sahifa taglavhasi, sahifa tarixi va muhokama sahifasini koʻrib chiqishingiz kerak.

Bundan tashqari, tashqi manbalardan olingan va Loyihaga import qilingan matn qoʻshimcha atribut talablarini oʻz ichiga olgan litsenziya ostida boʻlishi mumkinligini yodda tuting. Foydalanuvchilar ushbu qoʻshimcha atribut talablarini aniq koʻrsatishga rozilik bildiradi. Loyihaga qarab, bunday talablar, masalan, banner yoki kontentning bir qismi yoki barchasi dastlab boshqa joyda nashr etilganligini koʻrsatadigan boshqa yozuvlarda paydo boʻlishi mumkin. Bunday koʻrinadigan belgilar mavjud boʻlganda, takroriy foydalanuvchilar ularni saqlab qoʻyishlari kerak.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 150%&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Terms of Use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

Selamat datang ke Wikimedia! Yayasan Wikimedia, Inc. (&quot;kami&quot; atau &quot;kami&quot; atau &quot;Yayasan&quot;), ialah sebuah organisasi amal bukan untung, beribu pejabat di San Francisco, California, Amerika Syarikat, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|yang misinya]] adalah untuk memperkasakan dan melibatkan orang di seluruh dunia untuk mengumpul dan membangunkan kandungan [[{{lwp|Free content}}|di bawah lesen percuma]] atau dalam domain awam, dan untuk menyebarkannya secara berkesan dan global, secara percuma.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Terima Kasih! ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators.

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.
&lt;/div&gt;

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using the Projects and/or their websites (hereby referred to as &quot;Project Websites&quot;) – is the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our Projects and Project Websites. The community also undertakes the critical function of creating and enforcing policies for the specific Project editions (such as the different language editions for the Wikipedia Project or the Wikimedia Commons multilingual edition).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:

: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.

We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

'''''Zamislite svijet u kojemu svako ljudsko biće može slobodno zajednički koristi cjelokupno znanje. To je naša obveza.''''' – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|Naša vizija]]

Dobrodošli u Wikimediju! Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. („mi” ili „nas” ili „Zaklada”), neprofitna je dobrotvorna organizacija sa sjedištem u San Franciscu, Kalifornija, Sjedinjene Američke Države, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|čija je misija]] osnažiti i angažirati ljude diljem svijeta da prikupljaju i razvijaju sadržaj [[{{lwp|Free content}}|pod besplatnom licencom]] ili u javnoj domeni, te da ga učinkovito i globalno besplatno i šire.

Kako bismo podržali našu energičnu zajednicu, omogućujemo osnovnu infrastrukturu i organizacijski okvir za razvoj višejezičnih wiki projekata i njihovih izdanja (kako je objašnjeno na našoj [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|stranici Wikimedijinih projekata]]) (u daljnjem tekstu „Projekti”) te druga nastojanja koja služe u realizaciji ove misije. Nastojimo učiniti i trajno održati besplatne i uzastopne edukativne i informativne programe iz Projekata dostupnima na internetu.

Pozdravljamo Vas („Vas” ili „korisnika”) kao čitatelja ili suradnika na Projektima u želji da se pridružite Wikimedijinoj zajednici. Međutim, prije nego što sudjelujete, molimo Vas da pročitate i prihvatite sljedeće Uvjete korištenja („Uvjeti korištenja”).
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
Ovi Uvjeti korištenja pružaju informacije o našim javnim uslugama u zakladi Wikimedia, našem odnosu prema Vama kao korisniku te pravima i odgovornostima koji su naša nit vodilja. Održavamo poslužitelje s nevjerojatnom količinom edukativnog i informativnog sadržaja, a svemu navedenome svoj doprinos pružaju korisnici poput Vas. Općenito ne dajemo svoj doprinos, ne pratimo i ne brišemo sadržaj (uz rijetke iznimke, kao što su ovi Uvjeti korištenja usklađeni s pravilima o korištenju, radi pravne usklađenosti ili kada smo suočeni s prijetnjama ili ozbiljnom materijalnom štetom). To znači da sadržaj uređujete Vi i Vaše kolege korisnici koji stvaraju i upravljaju sadržajem.

Zajednica – mreža korisnika koji neprestano izgrađuju i koriste Projekte i/ili njihove internetske stranice (u daljnjem tekstu „Internetske stranice Projekta”) – glavno je sredstvo putem kojeg se postižu ciljevi naše misije. Zajednica pridonosi i pomaže u upravljanju našim Projektima i internetskim stranicama Projekta. Zajednica također ima ključnu ulogu u stvaranju i provedbi pravila za određena izdanja Projekta (kao što su izdanja na različitim jezicima za Projekt Wikipedia ili višejezično izdanje Wikimedia Commons).

Vi, korisnik, dobrodošli ste i možete nam se pridružiti kao suradnik, urednik ili autor, ali morate slijediti pravila koja su namijenjena za svako uređivanje neovisnih izdanja Projekta, uključujući [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Univerzalni kodeks ponašanja]] (UCoC) koji se primjenjuje i odnosi na realizaciju svih izdanja Projekta. Najveći od naših Projekata je Wikipedia, ali služimo kao poslužitelj i drugih Projekata, a svaki od njih ima različite ciljeve i radne metode. U svakom izdanju Projekta sudjeluje tim autora i urednika koji zajedničkim naporima rade na stvaranju i uređivanju sadržaja svakog Projekta. Dobrodošli ste pridružiti se ovim timovima i raditi s njima na poboljšanju ovih Projekata. Budući da smo posvećeni tome da sadržaj učinimo slobodno dostupnim javnosti, sadržaj koji dodajete postaje besplatno dostupan ili se objavljuje u javnoj domeni.

Imajte na umu da ste zakonski odgovorni za svoj sadržaj, uređivanje i ponovnu upotrebu Wikimedijinog sadržaja, u skladu sa zakonima Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i drugim zakonima (koji mogu uključivati ​​zakone koji se odnose na Vas ili Vaš sadržaj) . To znači da je važno da budete oprezni kada objavljujete, mijenjate ili ponovno koristite sadržaj. S obzirom na ove odgovornosti, imamo neka pravila o tome što ne smijete činiti, od kojih je većina namijenjena ili za Vašu vlastitu zaštitu ili za zaštitu drugih korisnika. Imajte na umu da je sadržaj koji pohranjujemo na poslužitelju namijenjen samo u opće informativne svrhe. Ako trebate stručni savjet za određeno pitanje (kao što su medicinska, pravna ili financijska pitanja), potražite pomoć odgovarajućeg stručnjaka. Također uključujemo i druge važne obavijesti i odricanja od odgovornosti, stoga Vas molimo da u cijelosti pročitate ove Uvjete korištenja.

Radi pojašnjenja, druge organizacije, kao što su [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|lokalni Wikimedijini ogranci]] i udruženja, koje mogu dijeliti istu misiju, ipak su pravno neovisne i odvojene od zaklade Wikimedia. Osim ako Zaklada kao ovlaštena strana na određenoj internetskoj stranici Projekta nije drugačije navela, te druge organizacije ne preuzimaju nikakvu odgovornost za funkcioniranje internetske stranice Projekta ili za sadržaj.

== 1. Naše usluge ==

Zaklada Wikimedia posvećena je poticanju rasta, razvoju i distribuciji besplatnog višejezičnog sadržaja te besplatnom smještanju cjelokupnog sadržaja ovih Projekata utemeljenih na wikiju i namijenjenih za javnost na poslužitelju. Naša uloga je biti poslužitelj nekih od najvećih zajednički uređenih Projekata na svijetu, [//www.wikimedia.org koji se nalaze ovdje]. Međutim, mi djelujemo samo kao pružatelj usluga smještaja na poslužitelju, održavamo infrastrukturu i organizacijski okvir. Ova infrastruktura i okvir omogućuju našim korisnicima da svoje Projekte izgrade sami stvaranjem novog sadržaja i samostalnim uređivanjem svojeg sadržaja. Korisnicima je također omogućeno ponovno korištenje istog sadržaja. Infrastruktura koja se odnosi na specijalnu tehnološku infrastrukturu koja korisnicima omogućuje programsku interakciju i ponovnu upotrebu sadržaja na Projektima (infrastruktura je poznata pod nazivom „Sučelje za programiranje aplikacija” ili „API”) i upotrebu mobilnih aplikacija.

Kao što se koristi u ostalim Uvjetima korištenja, naše usluge sastoje se od: [//www.wikimedia.org internetske stranice Projekta koje pohranjujemo na poslužitelju], tehnološke infrastrukture koju održavamo i svih tehničkih prostora čiji smještaj na poslužitelju vršimo mi u svrhu poboljšanja i održavanja naših Projekata.

Zbog naše jedinstvene uloge, postoji nekoliko stvari kojih biste trebali biti svjesni kada razmatrate naš odnos prema Vama, Projektima i drugim korisnicima:

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;'''Nemamo funkciju urednika:''' Budući da se Projekti uređuju zajednički, veliku većinu sadržaja koji pohranjujemo na poslužitelju stvaraju korisnici, a mi ne preuzimamo ulogu urednika. To znači da općenito ne pratimo niti uređujemo sadržaj internetskih stranica Projekta i ne preuzimamo nikakvu odgovornost za taj sadržaj. Slično tome, osim ako izričito ne navedemo drugačije, ne podupiremo nikakva mišljenja izražena putem naših usluga i ne zastupamo niti jamčimo za istinitost, točnost ili pouzdanost bilo kojeg sadržaja zajednice na Projektima.&lt;/li&gt;

Projekti koje zaklada Wikimedia pohranjuje na svom poslužitelju postoje samo zbog zajednice korisnika poput Vas koji surađuju u pisanju, uređivanju te odabiru i prilagodbi sadržaja. Željno očekujemo Vaše sudjelovanje u ovoj zajednici. Savjetujemo da budete civilizirani i pristojni u svojim interakcijama s drugima u zajednici, da djelujete s dobrom namjerom te da unosite izmjene i priloge usmjerene prema promicanju misije našeg zajedničkog Projekta. Molimo sve korisnike da pregledaju i slijede [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Univerzalni kodeks ponašanja]] („UCoC”) koji postavlja zahtjeve za kolegijalnu, civilnu suradnju na svim Projektima koje pohranjujemo na poslužitelju.

Određene aktivnosti, bilo da su zakonite ili nezakonite prema primjenjivom zakonu, mogu biti štetne za druge korisnike i krše naša pravila, a neke Vas aktivnosti mogu učiniti odgovornima za određene radnje. Stoga, radi Vaše vlastite zaštite i zaštite drugih korisnika, ne smijete sudjelovati u takvim radnjama ili na bilo koji drugi način koristiti naše Projekte. Takve aktivnosti obuhvaćaju:

: '''Uznemiravanje i zlostavljanje drugih'''
::* Sudjelovanje u prijetnjama, uhođenju, slanju neželjene pošte, vandalizmu ili uznemiravanju, kako je opisano u UCoC-u;
::* Slanje lančane pošte, neželjene pošte ili spamova drugim korisnicima;
::* Objavljivanje ili mijenjanje sadržaja s namjerom nanošenja ozbiljne štete drugim korisnicima, kao što je namjerno poticanje na samoozljeđivanje ili namjerno izazivanje epileptičkih napadaja.
: '''Povreda prava na privatnost drugih osoba'''
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
::* Kršenje prava na privatnost ili drugih prava u skladu sa zakonima Sjedinjenih Američkih Država ili drugim primjenjivim zakonima (što može uključivati ​​zakone u mjestu u kojemu živite ili u kojem pregledavate ili uređujete sadržaj);
::* Traženje osobnih podataka u svrhu uznemiravanja, iskorištavanja ili kršenja prava na privatnost ili korištenje podataka u bilo koju promidžbenu ili komercijalnu svrhu koju nije izričito odobrila zaklada Wikimedia; i
::* Traženje osobnih podataka od osoba mlađih od 18 godina ili većine mlađih osoba u kojoj se nalazite a stariji ste od 18 godina i korištenje istih u nezakonite svrhe ili kršenje bilo kojeg primjenjivog zakona koji se odnosi na zdravlje ili dobrobit maloljetnika.
&lt;/div&gt;
: '''Davanje lažnih izjava, lažno predstavljanje ili prijevara'''
::* Namjerno ili svjesno objavljivanje sadržaja koji predstavlja optužbe ili klevete u skladu sa zakonima Sjedinjenih Američkih Država;
::* Objavljivanje ili mijenjanje sadržaja s namjerom obmane ili širenja lažnih informacija;
::* Pokušaj oponašanja drugog korisnika ili pojedinca, pogrešno predstavljanje Vaše povezanosti s bilo kojim pojedincem ili subjektom, skrivanje vaše povezanosti s bilo kojim pojedincem ili subjektom kada je otkrivanje potrebno i kada je u skladu s ovim uvjetima ili lokalnom politikom Projekta ili korištenje korisničkog imena druge osobe s namjerom da se izvede prijevara; i
::* Sudjelovanje u prijevari.
: '''Kršenje prava intelektualnog vlasništva'''
::* Kršenje autorskih prava, neovlašteno kopiranje zaštitnih znakova, patenata ili nezakonito prisvajanje drugih vlasničkih prava prema primjenjivom zakonu.
:'''Zlouporaba naših usluga u druge nezakonite svrhe'''
::* Objavljivanje dječje pornografije ili bilo kojeg drugog sadržaja koji krši važeći zakon u vezi s dječjom pornografijom ili materijalom koji uključuje seksualno zlostavljanje djece ili poticanje, pripremanje ili nagovaranje drugih osoba da stvaraju ili dijele takav materijal;
::* Objavljivanje ili trgovina opscenim materijalom koji je protuzakonit prema primjenjivom zakonu; i
::* Korištenje usluga na način koji nije u skladu s primjenjivim zakonom.
: '''Sudjelovanje u ometajućoj i nezakonitoj zlouporabi objekata'''
::* Objavljivanje ili distribucija sadržaja koji sadrži bilo kakve viruse, zlonamjerni softver, crve, trojanske konje, zlonamjerni kod ili druge uređaje koji bi mogli naštetiti našoj tehničkoj infrastrukturi ili sustavima drugih korisnika;
::* Sudjelovanje u automatiziranoj upotrebi internetskih stranica Projekta u svrhe koje su uvredljive ili u svrhe koje ometaju usluge, krše prihvatljiva pravila korištenja na dostupnim mjestima ili na mjestima koja nije odobrila zajednica Wikimedije;
::* Ometanje izvođenja usluga postavljanjem nepotrebnog tereta na API, internetsku stranicu Projekta ili mreže ili poslužitelje povezane s određenom internetskom stranicom Projekta;
::* Ometanje usluga punjenjem bilo koje internetske stranice Projekta komunikacijama ili drugim prometom koji ne ukazuje na ozbiljnu namjeru korištenja internetske stranice Projekta za njezinu navedenu namjenu;
::* Svjesno pristupanje ili korištenje bilo kojeg od naših nejavnih područja u našim računalnim sustavima, bez potrebnih ovlaštenja; i
::* Ispitivanje, skeniranje ili testiranje ranjivosti bilo kojeg od naših tehničkih sustava ili mreža, osim ako nisu ispunjeni svi sljedeći uvjeti:
:::* da takve radnje ne zloupotrebljavaju ili ne ometaju naše tehničke sustave ili mreže;
:::* da takve radnje nisu namijenjene za osobnu korist (osim za zasluge za Vaš rad);
:::* da sve manjkavosti i probleme u sustavu prijavite relevantnim razvojnim programerima (ili ih sami popravite); i
:::* da ne poduzimate takve radnje sa zlonamjernom ili destruktivnom namjerom.

: '''Plaćeni prilozi bez otkrivanja informacija'''

::* Morate razotkriti informacije o svakom poslodavcu, klijentu, ciljanom korisniku te vezu u pogledu bilo kojeg priloga za koji primate ili očekujete da ćete primiti naknadu. Morate ih razotkriti na barem jedan od sljedećih načina:
:::* izjavom na vašoj korisničkoj stranici,
:::* izjavom na stranici za vođenje razgovora i sastanaka koja prati sve plaćene priloge, ili
:::* izjavom u sažetku uređenog sadržaja koja prati sve plaćene priloge.
::* Nadalje, ako postavite javnu objavu o reklamiranju usluga uređivanja Projekata na Wikipediji u zamjenu za bilo koju vrstu naknade, morate otkriti sve naloge Wikipedije koje ste koristili ili naloge koje ćete koristiti za uslugu javne objave u domeni treće strane.
::* Mjerodavno pravo ili politika specifična za Projekt te politika i smjernice Zaklade, poput onih koje se bave sukobima interesa, mogu dodatno ograničiti plaćene priloge ili zahtijevati detaljnije otkrivanje podataka. Na primjer, kršenje pravila o zaštitnim znakovima Wikimedije (definiranih u nastavku u odjeljku 6.) za reklamiranje plaćenih usluga uređivanja, uklanjanje otkrivanja prethodno adekvatno objavljenih plaćenih uređivanja ili odjavljeno plaćeno uređivanje na način koji čini odgovarajuće otkrivanje podataka praktički nemogućim, predstavlja kršenje pravila iz ovog odjeljka.
::* Zajednica koja sudjeluje u stvaranju Wikimedija Projekta može usvojiti alternativnu politiku otkrivanja informacija o plaćenim prilozima koja može dopuniti ili zamijeniti ovaj odjeljak. Ako Projekt usvoji alternativnu politiku razotkrivanja podataka, možete se pridržavati te politike, umjesto zahtjeva navedenih u ovom odjeljku (pod nazivom „Plaćeni prilozi bez otkrivanja informacija”) kada pridonosite tom konkretnom Projektu.

Neotkriveno uređivanje sadržaja od strane korisnika koji primaju naknadu stvara nerazumno opterećenje urednicima volonterima [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|koji istražuju i provode pravila zajednice]]. Stoga, za kršenja pravila iz ovog odjeljka u vezi s neotkrivenim plaćenim uređivanjem, pristajete podnijeti obvezujući „Med-Arb” („Medijacija sadržaja marketinške tvrtke”) kako je opisano u odjeljku 14. ovih Uvjeta korištenja.

Zadržavamo diskrecijsko pravo u vezi s primjenom odredbi u odjeljku 4. ovih Uvjeta korištenja. Prema potrebi, realizacija i provedba ovih uvjeta može uključivati ​​radnje koje nisu navedene u [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions| Politika rada u Uredu]] zaklade Wikimedia. Ako je realizacija i provedba potrebna u novim okolnostima, potrudit ćemo se u roku od najviše jedne (1) godine ažurirati Politiku rada Ureda kako bismo katalogizirali novu vrstu rada.

Zbog toga Vas molimo da poštujete naše zaštitne znakove. Svi zaštitni znakovi zaklade Wikimedia pripadaju zakladi Wikimedia i svaka upotreba naših trgovačkih naziva, zaštitnih znakova, znakova usluga, logotipova ili naziva domena mora biti u skladu s ovim Uvjetima korištenja te u skladu s našim [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Pravilima o zaštitnim znakovima]].

&lt;span id=&quot;7._Licensing_of_Content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 7. Licenciranje sadržaja ==

Kako bi se proširilo zajedničko besplatno znanje i besplatna kultura, svi korisnici koji pridonose Projektima ili internetskim stranicama Projekata moraju omogućiti široki raspon dopuštenja široj javnosti za slobodnu redistribuciju i ponovnu upotrebu svojih priloga, pod uvjetom da je ta upotreba ispravno pripisana i omogućena ista sloboda za ponovnu upotrebu i redistribuciju. U skladu s našim ciljem pružanja besplatnih informacija najširoj mogućoj publici, zahtijevamo da, kada je potrebno, sav dostavljeni sadržaj bude licenciran tako da ga može slobodno ponovno koristiti svatko tko mu može pristupiti.

Pristajete na sljedeće zahtjeve o licenciranju:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;'''Tekst na koji imate autorska prava:''' Kada pošaljete tekst na koji imate autorska prava, slažete se s pravilima licenciranja u skladu s:
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] („CC BY-SA 4.0”), te
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] („GFDL”) (bez verzija, bez nepromjenjivih odjeljaka, tekstova na prednjim ili stražnjim koricama).

Ponovni korisnici mogu se pridržavati pravila jedne ili druge licence.&lt;br /&gt;
Jedina je iznimka ako izdanje ili značajka Projekta zahtijeva implementaciju druge licence. U tom slučaju pristajete na licenciranje bilo kojeg teksta kojega prilažete u skladu s određenom licencom propisanom izdanjem Projekta ili određenom značajkom.

Imajte na umu da ove licence dopuštaju komercijalnu upotrebu vaših priloga, pod uvjetom da je takva upotreba u skladu s uvjetima odgovarajućih licenci. Ako posjedujete prava na bazu podataka Sui Generis pokrivena s CC BY-SA 4.0, odričete se ovih prava. Na primjer, to znači da se informacije kojima dajete svoj doprinos projektima mogu ponovno slobodno koristiti bez navođenja autora.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Navođenje izvora:''' Navođenje izvora je važan dio ovih licenca. Smatramo da je to odavanje zasluga osobama koje to zaslužuju – autorima poput Vas. Kada priložite tekst, slažete se s atribucijama na bilo koji od sljedećih načina:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;preko hiperpoveznice (ako je to moguće) ili URL-a na članak kojemu ste dali svoj doprinos (budući da svaki članak ima stranicu povijesti na kojoj su navedeni svi suradnici, autori i urednici);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;preko hiperpoveznice (ako je to moguće) ili alternativnog URL-a, stabilne online slobodno dostupne kopije koja je usklađena s relevantnom licencom i koja omogućuje potrebne dozvole autorima na način ekvivalentan dozvolama koje se odnose na internetsku stranicu Projekta; ili&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;putem popisa svih autora (ali molim Vas imajte na umu da se bilo koji popis autora može filtrirati kako bi se isključila jako mala količina nerelevantnih autora).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Uvoz teksta:''' Možete uvoziti tekst koji ste pronašli negdje drugdje ili koji ste kreirali kao koautori s drugima, ali u tom slučaju izjavljujete i jamčite da je tekst dostupan pod uvjetima koji su kompatibilni s CC BY-SA (ili, kao što je gore objašnjeno, drugim licencama kada to iznimno zahtijeva izdanje ili značajka Projekta). Za popis kompatibilnih licenci, vidi Creative Commons. Ne smijete uvoziti sadržaj koji je dostupan isključivo pod GFDL-om.&lt;br /&gt;

Slažete se da, ako uvozite tekst pod CC licencom koji zahtijeva atribuciju, morate na razuman način navesti autora(e). Tamo gdje se takva zasluga obično daje kroz povijest stranice (kao što je Wikimedijino interno kopiranje), dovoljno je dodati atribuciju u sažetku uređivanja sadržaja koji se bilježi u povijesti stranice, prilikom uvoza teksta. Zahtjevi za atribuciju ponekad su previše nametljivi za posebne okolnosti (bez obzira na licencu), a mogu postojati slučajevi u kojima Wikimedijina zajednica odluči da se uvezeni tekst ne može koristiti zbog tog razloga.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Netekstualni mediji:''' Netekstualni mediji na Projektima dostupni su pod nizom različitih licenci koje podržavaju opći cilj dopuštanja neograničene ponovne upotrebe i redistribucije. Ako podnosite netekstualne medije, slažete se da ćete se pridržavati zahtjeva za takve licence kao što je opisano u našim [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Pravilima o licenciranju]] te također biti u skladu sa zahtjevima određenog izdanja Projekta ili značajke sadržaja kojega šaljete. Također pogledajte [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Pravila licenciranja Wikimedia Commons]] za više informacija o slanju netekstualnih medija na Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Nema oduzimanja licence:''' Osim ako je u skladu s Vašom licencom, suglasni ste da nećete jednostrano opozvati ili tražiti poništenje bilo koje licence koju ste omogućili u skladu s ovim Uvjetima korištenja za tekstualni sadržaj ili netekstualne medije podnesene Projektima ili značajkama, čak i ako prekinete korištenje naših usluga.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Sadržaj u javnoj domeni:''' Dobrodošlo je i slanje sadržaja u javnoj domeni. Međutim, važno je da potvrdite status javne domene sadržaja prema zakonu Sjedinjenih Američkih Država kao i prema zakonima bilo koje druge zemlje, kako to zahtijeva određeno izdanje Projekta. Kada šaljete sadržaj koji je u javnoj domeni, jamčite da je materijal zapravo u javnoj domeni i slažete se da ćete ga na odgovarajući način i označiti.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'''Ponovno korištenje sadržaja:''' Ponovno korištenje sadržaja koji pohranjujemo na poslužitelju je dobrodošlo, iako postoje iznimke za sadržaj dostavljen pod „poštenom upotrebom” ili slična izuzeća sukladno važećem zakonu o autorskim pravima. Svaka ponovna uporaba mora biti u skladu s temeljnim pravilima licence(a).&lt;br /&gt;

Kada ponovno upotrijebite ili redistribuirate tekstualnu stranicu koju je razvila Wikimedijina zajednica, pristajete na pripisivanje autorstva na bilo koji od sljedećih načina:
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;preko hiperpoveznice (ako je to moguće) ili URL-a na stranicu ili stranice koje ponovno koristite (budući da svaka stranica ima stranicu povijesti na kojoj su navedeni svi suradnici, autori i urednici);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;preko hiperpoveznice (ako je to moguće) ili alternativnog URL-a, stabilne online slobodno dostupne kopije koja je usklađena s relevantnom licencom i koja omogućuje potrebne dozvole autorima na način ekvivalentan dozvolama koje se odnose na internetsku stranicu Projekta; ili&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;putem popisa svih autora (ali molim Vas imajte na umu da se bilo koji popis autora može filtrirati kako bi se isključila jako mala količina nerelevantnih autora).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

Ako je tekstualni sadržaj uvezen iz drugog izvora, moguće je da je sadržaj licenciran pod kompatibilnom licencom CC BY-SA, ali ne GFDL (kao što je opisano u odjeljku za „Uvoz teksta”). U tom slučaju, suglasni ste poštivati ​​uvjete CC BY-SA licence i nemate mogućnost ponovnog licenciranja prema GFDL-u. Da biste odredili licencu koja se primjenjuje na sadržaj koji želite ponovno upotrijebiti ili redistribuirati, trebali biste pregledati podnožje stranice, povijest stranice i stranicu za razmjenu poruka.

Osim toga, imajte na umu da tekst iz vanjskih izvora i sadržaj uvezen u Projekt može biti pod licencom koja prilaže dodatne zahtjeve za pripisivanje sadržaja. Korisnici pristaju jasno naznačiti ove dodatne zahtjeve za navođenje izvora. Ovisno o Projektu, takvi se zahtjevi mogu pojaviti, na primjer, u banneru ili drugim napomenama koje ukazuju da je dio ili sav sadržaj izvorno objavljen negdje drugdje. Tamo gdje postoje takve vidljive oznake, korisnici bi ih trebali sačuvati.

Za sve medije koji nisu tekstualni, slažete se pridržavati se primjenjive licence pod kojom je djelo dostupno (što se može otkriti tako da kliknete na djelo i pogledate odjeljak o licenciranju na stranici s njegovim opisom ili pregledate primjenjivu izvornu stranicu za taj rad). Prilikom ponovnog korištenja bilo kojeg sadržaja koji pohranjujemo na poslužitelju, slažete se da ćete se pridržavati relevantnih zahtjeva za navođenje izvora jer se oni odnose na temeljnu licencu ili licence.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;'''Modifikacije ili dodaci materijalima koje ponovo koristite:''' Kada mijenjate ili dodajete tekst koji ste dobili s internetske stranice Projekta, slažete se licencirati izmijenjeni ili dodani sadržaj pod CC BY-SA 4.0 ili novijom verzijom (ili, kao što je gore objašnjeno, drugom licencom kada to iznimno zahtijeva određeno izdanje ili značajka Projekta).&lt;br /&gt;

Kada mijenjate ili dodajete bilo koji netekstualni medij koji ste dobili s internetske stranice Projekta, pristajete na licenciranje izmijenjenog ili dodanog sadržaja u skladu s bilo kojom licencom pod kojom je djelo postalo dostupno.&lt;br /&gt;

S tekstualnim sadržajem i netekstualnim medijima pristajete da jasno naznačite da je izvorno djelo izmijenjeno. Ako ponovno koristite tekstualni sadržaj u wikiju, dovoljno je navesti u povijesti stranice da ste unijeli promjenu u uvezeni tekst. Za svaku kopiju ili modificiranu verziju koju distribuirate, slažete se uključiti obavijest o licenciranju u kojoj se navodi pod kojom je licencom djelo objavljeno, zajedno s hiperpoveznicom ili URL-om na tekst licence ili kopiju same licence.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

Zaklada Wikimedia želi osigurati da drugi korisnici mogu ponovno koristiti sadržaj koji pohranjujemo na poslužitelju bez straha od kršenja autorskih prava drugih osoba. Radi poštenja prema našim korisnicima, kao i prema drugim kreatorima i nositeljima autorskih prava, naša je politika odgovoriti na obavijesti o navodnom kršenju autorskih prava koja su u skladu s formalnostima Zakona o autorskim pravima pod nazivom „Zakon o autorskim pravima u digitalnom tisućljeću”, en: Digital Millennium Copyright Act („DMCA”). Sukladno DMCA-u, ​​ukinut ćemo, u odgovarajućim okolnostima, korisnike i vlasnike naloga našeg sustava i mreže koji su višestruki prekršitelji naših Projekata i usluga.

Međutim, također shvaćamo da nije svaka obavijest o uklanjanju važeća ili u dobroj namjeri. U takvim slučajevima, snažno potičemo korisnike da podnose protuprijave kada smatraju da zahtjev za uklanjanje sukladno DMCA nije valjan ili prikladan. Za više informacija o tome što učiniti ako mislite da je DMCA obavijest neispravno podnesena, možda ćete htjeti provjeriti internetsku stranicu [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database].

Ako ste vlasnik sadržaja koji se nepropisno koristi na jednom od Projekta bez Vašeg dopuštenja, možete zatražiti da se sadržaj ukloni podnošenjem obavijesti prema DMCA. Da biste podnijeli takav zahtjev, pošaljite nam e-poruku na {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} ili [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|pošaljite e-poruku našem ovlaštenom zastupniku]].

Također, možete podnijeti zahtjev našoj zajednici, koja često rješava pitanja autorskih prava brže i učinkovitije od postupka propisanog DMCA-om. U tom slučaju možete objaviti obavijest u kojoj ćete objasniti svoju zabrinutost u pogledu autorskih prava. Za neiscrpan i nemjerodavan popis relevantnih procesa za različita izdanja Projekta [[:m:Copyright problems|posjetite stranicu za rješavanje Problema s autorskim pravima]]. Prije nego što podnesete prijavu sukladno DMCA, također imate opciju slanja e-poruke zajednici na {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Internetske stranice i resursi trećih strana ==

Odgovornost za korištenje bilo kojih internetskih stranica ili resursa trećih strana preuzimate isključivo Vi. Iako Projekti i internetske stranice Projekta sadrže poveznice na internetske stranice i resurse trećih strana, ne podržavamo i nismo odgovorni za njihovu dostupnost, točnost ili povezani sadržaj, proizvode ili usluge (uključujući, među ostalim, sve viruse ili druge značajke koje onemogućuju pristup sadržaju), niti imamo obvezu nadzirati ili pratiti takav sadržaj trećih strana.

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;span id=&quot;10._Management_of_Websites&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 10. Upravljanje internetskim stranicama ==

Zajednica ima primarnu ulogu u stvaranju i provođenju politika koje se primjenjuju na različita izdanja Projekta. U zakladi Wikimedia rijetko se miješamo u odluke zajednice o politici i njezinoj provedbi.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Moguće nas je obavijestiti o nezakonitom sadržaju ili sadržaju koji krši naše Uvjete korištenja (uključujući sva pravila i druge priložene dokumente) iz drugih razloga [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|izravnim kontaktom s nama]]. Međutim, obično možete uputiti zahtjev izravno zajednici Projekta: to može biti učinkovitije i dosljednije je za potrebe realizacije ciljeva naših Projekata u smislu osnaživanja i povezivanja korisničke zajednice.
&lt;/div&gt;


Svaki Projekt obično nudi stranice „Pomoć” ili „Kontakt&quot; za daljnje upute ili posebne alate za prijavu problema. Također, ako niste sigurni, možete zamoliti članove zajednice za pomoć slanjem e-poruke na {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} ili na adresu koja se više odnosi na jezik sa [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|stranice Volonterski tim za podršku]]. Imajte na umu da ove poštanske sandučiće nadziru korisnici Projekta, a ne Zaklada. Kao rezultat toga, ne bi im se trebalo prijetiti niti im se postavljati pravni uvjeti.

Ako kontaktirate Zakladu zbog nekog problema, obično ćemo istražiti mogu li ga i na koji način postojeći mehanizmi pod vodstvom zajednice istražiti te, po potrebi, riješiti.

U posebnim slučajevima, može se pojaviti potreba, ili od nas zajednica može tražiti da se obratimo posebno problematičnom korisniku ili da pregledamo problematični sadržaj zbog značajnog ometanja Projekta ili opasnog ponašanja. U takvim slučajevima zadržavamo pravo, prema vlastitom nahođenju (ili ako smo zakonski prisiljeni):

* istražiti načine korištenja Projekta ili naših usluga (a) kako bismo utvrdili je li došlo do kršenja ovih Uvjeta korištenja, Pravila izdavanja Projekta ili drugog primjenjivog zakona ili pravila, ili (b) radi usklađivanja s bilo kojim primjenjivim zakonom, pravnim postupkom, ili radi odgovarajućih zahtjeva zakonodavnih tijela;
* otkriti, spriječiti ili na drugi način riješiti prijevare, lažne ili neprovjerljive informacije, sigurnosne ili tehničke probleme ili odgovoriti na zahtjeve korisničke podrške;
* odbiti, vratiti, onemogućiti ili ograničiti pristup sadržaju bilo kojem korisniku koji krši ove Uvjete korištenja;
* zabraniti korisniku uređivanje ili doprinos ili blokirati korisnički nalog ili pristup za radnje koje krše ove Uvjete korištenja, uključujući ponovno objavljivanje nezakonitog materijala prema primjenjivom zakonu u skladu s načelima ljudskih prava;
* poduzimati pravne radnje protiv korisnika koji krše ove Uvjete korištenja (uključujući prijave tijelima za provedbu zakona); i
* upravljati internetskim stranicama Projekta na neki drugi način osmišljen da olakša njihovo pravilno funkcioniranje i zaštiti prava, vlasništvo i sigurnost nas samih te naših korisnika, davatelja licence, partnera i javnosti.

Aktivnosti moderiranja Zaklade mogu biti izvedene pomoću softvera (kao što je zaštita od prometnih poplava („uskraćivanje usluga”)). U tim je slučajevima potreban dodatni pregled od strane ljudi, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na zahtjev]].

U interesu naših korisnika i Projekata, u ekstremnim okolnostima kada je bilo kojem pojedincu nalog ili pristup blokiran prema ovom odjeljku, zabranjeno im je kreiranje ili korištenje drugog naloga na istom Projektu ili traženje pristupa istom Projektu, osim ako ne omogućimo izričito dopuštenje s naše strane. Bez ograničavanja ovlasti zajednice, sama Zaklada neće korisniku zabraniti uređivanje ili doprinos niti blokirati korisnički nalog ili pristup samo zbog kritike u dobroj namjeri koja ne rezultira radnjama koje inače krše ove Uvjete korištenja ili pravila zajednice.

Zajednica Wikimedije i njezini članovi također mogu poduzeti radnje kada to dopuštaju pravila zajednice ili ako je politika Zaklade primjenjiva na određeno izdanje Projekta, uključujući, među ostalim, upozorenje, istraživanje, blokiranje ili zabranu korisnika koji krše ista pravila. Slažete se da ćete se pridržavati konačnih odluka tijela za rješavanje sporova koja je uspostavila zajednica za određena izdanja Projekta (kao što su arbitražni odbori); te odluke mogu uključivati ​​sankcije kako je navedeno u politici određenog izdanja Projekta.

Osobito problematični korisnici kojima su nalozi ili pristup blokirani na višestrukim izdanjima Projekta mogu biti podložni zabrani pristupa svim izdanjima Projekta, u skladu s [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Politikom globalne zabrane]]. Za razliku od odluka odbora ili ovih Uvjeta korištenja, pravila koja je donijela zajednica, a koja mogu obuhvaćati ​​jedno izdanje Projekta ili više izdanja Projekta (kao što je Politika globalne zabrane), relevantna zajednica može mijenjati u skladu sa svojim vlastitim postupcima.

Blokiranje naloga ili pristupa ili zabrana korisnika prema ovoj odredbi bit će u skladu s odjeljkom 13. ovih Uvjeta korištenja.

Ako smatrate da nismo postupili na zadovoljavajući način u vezi s izvješćem o problematičnom sadržaju ili ako ste bili podvrgnuti radnji moderiranja Zaklade koju želite osporiti, možda ćete moći [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|podnijeti žalbu]].  Ostale informacije o načinima žalbe također Vam mogu biti objašnjene u to vrijeme ili na stranicama za pružanje pomoći u realizaciju specifičnih projekata.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Zadržavamo pravo obustaviti (privremeno ili trajno) naše postupanje s izvješćima ili drugom prepiskom od korisnika ili trećih strana, bilo da se radi o navodno nezakonitom ili na neki drugi način problematičnom sadržaju ili ponašanju ili o podnošenju žalbi na radnje moderatora, ako je takva prepiska napravljena s lošim namjerama, ako se ponavlja, te je neutemeljena i/ili uvredljiva. U odgovarajućim okolnostima, Vaša adresa e-pošte može čak biti blokirana u našim sustavima e-pošte, a tada ćete nas morati kontaktirati [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|na našu poštansku adresu]] ako se želite nastaviti dopisivati ​​s nama tijekom te blokade. Za manje ozbiljne slučajeve (npr. do tri ljubazne e-poruke o jednoj ili više neosnovanih pritužbi), to će vjerojatno biti privremeno. Češća ili uvredljivija komunikacija vjerojatnije će dovesti do provođenja trajnih mjera.

== 11. Odluke i pravila Projekta ==

Odbor povjerenika zaklade Wikimedia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|s vremena na vrijeme objavljuje službena pravila]]. Neka od ovih pravila mogu biti obvezna za određeni Projekt ili izdanje Projekta, a kada jesu, suglasni ste da ćete ih se po potrebi i pridržavati.

{{anchor|12}}
&lt;span id=&quot;12._API_Terms&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 12. API uvjeti ==

Stavljamo na raspolaganje skup API-ja, koji uključuje dokumentaciju i povezane alate kako bismo korisnicima omogućili izradu proizvoda koji promoviraju besplatno znanje. Korištenjem naših API-ja slažete se da ćete se pridržavati svih pravila koja reguliraju upotrebu API-ja, koja, među ostalim, uključuju [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|Pravila o korisničkom zastupniku]], [[wikitech:Robot policy|Pravila o robotima]] i [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (zajedničkim nazivom „API dokumentacija”), a koja su uključena u ove Uvjete korištenja putem referentnog materijala.

{{anchor|13}}
&lt;span id=&quot;13._Termination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== 13. Prekid ugovora ==

Iako se nadamo da ćete ostati i nastaviti doprinositi Projektima, naše usluge možete prestati koristiti u bilo kojem trenutku. U određenim (nadajmo se malo vjerojatnim) okolnostima, može biti potrebno da mi sami ili Wikimedijina zajednica ili njezini članovi (kao što je opisano u odjeljku 10.) ukinemo dio ili sve naše usluge, ukinemo ove Uvjete korištenja, blokiramo Vaš nalog ili pristup Vašem nalogu te Vas zabranimo kao korisnika. Ako je Vaš nalog ili pristup blokiran ili na neki drugi način ukinut iz bilo kojeg razloga, Vaši javni prilozi i evidencija Vaših aktivnosti na ili u vezi s Projektima (uključujući bilo kakvu prepisku koju ste nam poslali) neće utjecati (podložno primjenjivim pravilima) i još uvijek možete pristupiti našim javnim stranicama isključivo u svrhu čitanja javno dostupnog sadržaja u Projektima. Međutim, u takvim okolnostima, možda nećete moći pristupiti svom nalogu ili postavkama. No, bez obzira na bilo koju drugu odredbu u ovim Uvjetima korištenja, zadržavamo pravo na obustavu ili prekid usluge u bilo kojem trenutku, s razlogom ili bez razloga, uz prethodnu obavijest ili bez nje. Čak i nakon što su Vaša upotreba i sudjelovanje zabranjeni, blokirani ili na drugi način obustavljeni, ovi Uvjeti korištenja ostat će na snazi ​​s obzirom na relevantne odredbe, uključujući odjeljke 1., 3., 4., 6., 7., 9.-16. i 18.

{{anchor|14}}
== &lt;span style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;14. Sporovi i nadležnost&lt;/span&gt; ==
&lt;div style=&quot;background: #FFFFCD;&quot;&gt;''Naglašeno radi isticanja''

Nadamo se da neće doći do ozbiljnih nesuglasica koje bi uključivale Vas, ali, u slučaju spora, potičemo Vas da potražite rješenje putem postupaka ili mehanizama za rješavanje sporova koje pružaju Projekti ili izdanja Projekta i zaklade Wikimedia. Ako želite podnijeti pravni zahtjev protiv nas, pristajete podnijeti i riješiti ga isključivo na državnom ili saveznom sudu koji se nalazi u okrugu San Francisco, Kalifornija. Također se slažete da će zakoni države Kalifornije i, u mjeri u kojoj je primjenjivo, zakoni Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, regulirati ove Uvjete korištenja, kao i sve pravne zahtjeve koji bi mogli nastati između Vas i nas (bez pozivanja na sukob interesa i zakonska načela). Suglasni ste podvrgnuti se osobnoj nadležnosti sudova koji se nalaze u okrugu San Francisco, Kalifornija, te se slažete da je mjesto prikladno u svim pravnim radnjama ili postupcima koji se odnose na nas ili ove Uvjete korištenja.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Kako bismo osigurali da se sporovi rješavaju ubrzo nakon što nastanu, slažete se da, bez obzira na bilo koji statut ili zakon koji je u suprotnosti s drugim zakonima, svaki zahtjev ili razlog za tužbu koji biste mogli imati a koji je proizašao iz ili je povezan s korištenjem naših usluga ili ovih Uvjeta korištenja, mora biti podnesen unutar primjenjivog roka zastare ili, ako se podnese ranije, jednu (1) godinu nakon što su relevantne činjenice u osnovi takvog zahtjeva ili uzroka tužbe mogle biti otkrivene uz razumnu pažnju (ili da bude zauvijek isključen).
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
Kao što je opisano u odjeljku 4. ovih Uvjeta korištenja, pristajete na rješavanje kršenja Plaćenih priloga bez otkrivanja informacija posredstvom marketinške tvrtke prema diskrecijskom pravu Zaklade. Medijacije marketinške tvrtke su '''obvezujuće''' medijacije tijekom kojih će se, na kraju poludnevne ili cjelodnevne sjednice, o svim spornim stavkama koje ostanu neriješene medijator odlučiti pravno obvezujućom odlukom. Oni će se provoditi na sastancima putem telekonferencije ili videokonferencije. Ako je potreban osobni sastanak, tada će se medijacija marketinške tvrtke održati u okrugu San Francisco, Kalifornija. Stranke će ravnomjerno podijeliti sve naknade i troškove vezane uz medijaciju/arbitražu.

Suglasni ste, kao dio medijacije marketinške tvrtke, surađivati ​​sa Zakladom, uključujući pravovremeno podnošenje bilo koje dokumentacije koju posjedujete u vezi s vašim neobjavljenim plaćenim aktivnostima uređivanja, uključujući korištene naloge, članke i klijente koji su kupili takve usluge.

Medijacije marketinške tvrtke podliježu i rukovode se Federalnim zakonom o arbitraži u mjeri u kojoj medijator postaje arbitar. Pobjednička strana ima pravo na povrat svojih odvjetničkih troškova (uključujući sve naknade potrebne za utvrđivanje primjenjivosti medijacije marketinške tvrtke i za provedbu obvezujućeg rezultata) te svih troškova koji se odnose na istragu i provedbu njezinih prava. Stranka se može smatrati „pobjedničkom stranom” čak i ako nije uspješna u svakom postavljenom zahtjevu.

Ako se iz nekog razloga utvrdi da su cjelokupni zahtjevi za medijaciju marketinške tvrtke neprovedivi, pristajete na rješavanje svih sporova kako je opisano na početku ovog odjeljka.

U zakladi Wikimedia dajemo sve od sebe kako bismo pružili obrazovne i informativne sadržaje vrlo širokoj publici, ali koristite naše usluge na svoju vlastitu odgovornost. Ove usluge pružamo na temelju „u viđenom stanju” i „kako su dostupne” te se izričito odričemo svih izričitih ili implicitnih jamstava svih vrsta, uključujući, među ostalim, jamstva o mogućnosti prodaje, prikladnosti za određenu svrhu i zaštitu prava. Ne jamčimo da će naše usluge ispuniti Vaše zahtjeve, biti sigurne, zaštićene, neprekinute, pravovremene, točne ili bez grešaka, niti da će Vaši podaci biti sigurni.

Nismo odgovorni za sadržaj, podatke niti radnje trećih strana, a Vi oslobađate nas, naše direktore, službenike, zaposlenike i zastupnike od bilo kakvih potraživanja i šteta, poznatih i nepoznatih, proizašlih iz ili na bilo koji način povezanih s bilo kojim potraživanjem koje imate od bilo koje takve treće strane. Nikakvi savjeti ili informacije, bilo usmene ili pismene, koje ste dobili od nas ili putem ili iz naših usluga ne stvaraju nikakvo jamstvo koje nije izričito navedeno u ovim Uvjetima.

Bilo koji materijal preuzet ili na drugi način dobiven korištenjem naših usluga vrši se prema vlastitom nahođenju i riziku, a Vi ćete biti isključivo odgovorni za bilo kakvu štetu na Vašem računalnom sustavu ili za gubitak podataka koji nastane preuzimanjem takvog materijala. Suglasni ste da nemamo nikakvu odgovornost za brisanje ili neuspjeh pohranjivanja ili prijenosa bilo kojeg sadržaja ili komunikacije koju održava usluga. Zadržavamo pravo postavljanja ograničenja upotrebe i pohrane prema vlastitom nahođenju, u bilo koje vrijeme s prethodnom obavijesti ili bez nje.

Neke države ili jurisdikcije ne dopuštaju vrste odricanja od odgovornosti iz ovog odjeljka, tako da se možda neće odnositi na Vas djelomično ili u cijelosti, ovisno o zakonskim okvirima.&lt;/div&gt;

Zaklada Wikimedia neće biti odgovorna Vama ili bilo kojoj drugoj strani za bilo kakvu izravnu, neizravnu, slučajnu, posebnu, posljedičnu ili primjernu štetu, uključujući, među ostalim, štetu zbog gubitka dobiti, dobrog ugleda, korištenja, podataka ili druge gubitke nematerijalne imovine, neovisno o tome jesmo li bili obaviješteni o mogućnosti takve štete. Ni u kojem slučaju naša odgovornost neće premašiti ukupan iznos od tisuću američkih dolara (1000,00 USD). U slučaju da primjenjivi zakon možda ne dopušta ograničenje ili isključenje odgovornosti ili slučajne ili posljedične štete, gore navedeno ograničenje ili isključenje možda se ne odnosi na Vas, iako će naša odgovornost, u najvećoj mjeri, biti ograničena dopuštenim primjenjivim zakonom.&lt;/div&gt;

== 17. Modifikacije ovih uvjeta ==

Baš kao što je doprinos Wikimedijine zajednice bitan za rast i održavanje Projekata, vjerujemo da je doprinos zajednice bitan kako bi ovi Uvjeti korištenja ispravno poslužili našim korisnicima. To je također bitno za pošten ugovor. Stoga ćemo ove Uvjete korištenja, kao i sve bitne buduće revizije ovih Uvjeta korištenja, dostaviti zajednici na komentar najmanje trideset (30) dana prije kraja razdoblja za komentare. Ako buduća predložena revizija bude znatna, dat ćemo dodatnih 30 dana za komentare, nakon objavljivanja prijevoda predložene revizije na najmanje tri jezika (odabrano po našem nahođenju). Zajednica će se poticati da predloženu reviziju prema potrebi prevede na druge jezike. Za promjene iz pravnih ili administrativnih razloga, za ispravljanje netočne izjave ili promjene kao odgovor na komentare zajednice, poslat ćemo obavijest najmanje tri (3) dana unaprijed.

Budući da će s vremena na vrijeme možda biti potrebno izmijeniti ove Uvjete korištenja, dat ćemo obavijest o takvim izmjenama i priliku za komentiranje putem internetske stranica Projekta i putem slanja obavijesti na [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. Međutim, molimo Vas da povremeno pregledate najnoviju verziju ovih Uvjeta korištenja. Vaše daljnje korištenje naših usluga nakon što novi Uvjeti korištenja postanu službeni nakon razdoblja obavijesti i pregleda predstavlja prihvaćanje ovih Uvjeta korištenja s Vaše strane. Radi zaštite zaklade Wikimedia i drugih korisnika poput Vas, ako se ne slažete s našim Uvjetima korištenja, ne možete koristiti naše usluge.

== 18. Drugi uvjeti ==

Ovi Uvjeti korištenja ne stvaraju odnos zapošljavanja, zastupanja, partnerstva, zajedničke kontrole ili zajedničkog ulaganja između Vas i nas, zaklade Wikimedia. U svrhu zakona Europskog gospodarskog prostora, zakona Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva ili drugih zakona koji uključuju sličan koncept, ne djelujete „u okviru ovlasti” Zaklade kada koristite usluge. Ako s nama niste potpisali poseban ugovor, ovi Uvjeti korištenja ugovor su sklopljen između Vas i nas. Ako postoji bilo kakav sukob između ovih Uvjeta korištenja i potpisanog pisanog ugovora između Vas i nas, prednost će imati potpisani ugovor.

Slažete se da Vam možemo dostavljati obavijesti, uključujući one koje se tiču ​​promjena Uvjeta korištenja, putem e-pošte, redovne pošte ili objavljivanjem na Projektima ili internetskim stranicama Projekta.

Ako u bilo kojoj okolnosti ne primijenimo ili ne provedemo bilo koju odredbu ovih Uvjeta korištenja, to ne predstavlja odricanje od te odredbe.

Razumijete da, osim ako se drugačije ne dogovorimo u pisanom obliku, ne očekujete naknadu za bilo koju aktivnost, doprinos ili ideju koju pružite nama, zajednici ili Projektima ili izdanjima Projekta.

Bez obzira na bilo koju suprotnu odredbu u ovim Uvjetima korištenja, mi (zaklada Wikimedia) i Vi suglasni smo da nećemo mijenjati primjenjive uvjete i zahtjeve bilo koje besplatne licence koja se koristi na Projektima ili izdanjima Projekta kada je takva besplatna licenca odobrena u ovim uvjetima.

Original ovih Uvjeta korištenja napisan je na engleskom jeziku (američka varijanta). Iako se nadamo da su prijevodi ovih Uvjeta korištenja točni, u slučaju bilo kakvih razlika u značenju između izvorne engleske verzije i prijevoda, izvorna engleska verzija ima prednost.

Ako se za bilo koju odredbu ili dio odredbe ovih Uvjeta korištenja utvrdi da su nezakoniti, ništavni ili neprovedivi, ta se odredba ili dio odredbe smatraju odvojivim od ovih Uvjeta korištenja i provodit će se u najvećoj dopuštenoj mjeri, a sve ostale odredbe ovih Uvjeta korištenja ostat će na snazi.

&lt;span id=&quot;Thank_You!&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Hvala! ==

Cijenimo što ste odvojili vrijeme za čitanje ovih Uvjeta korištenja i vrlo smo sretni što pridonosite Projektima i koristite naše usluge. Svojim doprinosima pomažete u izgradnji nečeg stvarno velikog – ne samo važne zbirke zajednički uređenih referentnih Projekata koji pružaju obrazovanje i informacije milijunima koji možda inače nemaju pristup, već i izgradnji energične zajednice istomišljenika i angažiranih kolega, usmjerenih prema vrlo plemenitom cilju.

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''''Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.'''''&lt;/span&gt; – [[{{foundationsite|1=about/vision}}|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Our Vision Statement&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Welcome to Wikimedia! The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (&quot;we&quot; or &quot;us&quot; or &quot;Foundation&quot;), is a non-profit charitable organization, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/mission}}|whose mission]] is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop content [[{{lwp|Free content}}|under a free license]] or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally, free of charge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure and organizational framework for the development of multilingual wiki projects and their editions (as explained on our [[{{foundationsite|1=our-work/wikimedia-projects}}|Wikimedia Projects page]]) (hereby referred to as &quot;Projects&quot;) and other endeavors which serve this mission. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from the Projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We welcome you (&quot;you&quot; or the &quot;user&quot;) as a reader, or contributor of the Projects, and we encourage you to join the Wikimedia community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (&quot;Terms of Use&quot;).
&lt;/div&gt;
== {{int string|Overview}} ==
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Wikimedia Foundation, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, all of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not contribute, monitor, or delete content (with rare exceptions, such as under policies like these Terms of Use, for legal compliance, or when faced with urgent threats of serious harm). This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

{{anchor|2}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 2. Privacy Policy ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|3}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 3. Content We Host ==
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You may find some material objectionable or erroneous:''' Because we host a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''The Projects' content is for general informational purposes only:''' Although our Projects host a great deal of information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. Please seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project Websites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;

{{anchor|4}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
{{anchor|paid-contrib-disclosure}}{{anchor|paid contributions}}{{anchor|PAID}}{{Shortcut|1=[[PAID]]}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
: '''Paid Contributions Without Disclosure'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:: For more information, please read our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use/Frequently asked questions on paid contributions without disclosure|FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions]].
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 5. Password Security ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and other security credentials, and should never disclose them to any third party.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|6}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 6. Trademarks ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|7}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7e&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''No revocation of license:''' Except as consistent with your license, you agree that you will not unilaterally revoke or seek invalidation of any license that you have granted under these Terms of Use for text content or non-text media contributed to the Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Public domain content:''' Content that is in the public domain is welcome. It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

== 8. Copyright Compliance ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

== 9. Third-party Websites and Resources ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|10}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

{{info|{{int|Note}} Van alle accounts op deze wiki wordt verwacht dat ze het [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Policies, guidelines, and procedures|beleid, richtlijnen en procedures]] van [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:About|deze wiki]] volgen - inclusief de [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Conduct policy|Gedragscode]].}}
Deze pagina geeft een overzicht van '''het beleid voor accounts''' van de Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki.

&lt;span id=&quot;Registered_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==Geregistreerde accounts==
{{Register account button}}
Iedereen met een [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Registered user|geregistreerd Wikimedia-account]] heeft een account op de Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki en wordt (volgens het [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Editing policy|bewerkingsbeleid]]) van deze wiki aangemoedigd om deel te nemen aan [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Translations guidelines|vertaalinspanningen]] en overlegpagina-discussies.
{{anchor|editor}}

&lt;span id=&quot;Editor_group_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Bewerkersgroep accounts ==
{{Governance Wiki navbox}}
Accounts in [[Special:ListUsers/editor|de bewerkersgroep]] zijn medewerkers en contractanten van de Wikimedia Foundation die zijn goedgekeurd door de [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Communications|Communicatie]] of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Legal department|Juridische]] afdelingen moeten bewerkingsrechten hebben op deze wiki om hun werktaken uit te voeren.

Accounts in deze groep hebben ook [[#translateadmin|de rechten vertaalbeheerder]].

&lt;span id=&quot;Expectations&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Verwachtingen ===

Van de leden van de redactiegroep wordt verwacht dat zij:
* Werken binnen het [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Policies, guidelines, and procedures|beleid, de richtlijnen en de procedures]] van deze wiki, in het bijzonder:
** [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Conduct policy|Gedragsbeleid]]
** [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Content posting guidelines|Inhoud plaatsen richtlijnen]]
** [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Namespaces|Namespaces richtlijnen]]
** [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Scope|{{int string|Scope}}]]
** [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Translations|Vertalingen richtlijnen]]
* Deze wiki's [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Manual of style|stijl handleiding]] volgen.
* Maak uzelf vertrouwd met de [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Editors toolbox|redacteur hulpmiddelen]] en de [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents|gebruikershandleiding]] van deze wiki.
* Doe mee aan het interne {{Wiki Slack channel link}} Slack-kanaal.
* Neem contact op met het [[Project:Core Administrators Team|team Core Administrators]] van de wiki bij vragen, problemen of om hulp.
&lt;span id=&quot;Administrators&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Beheerders ==

Beheerders op de Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki zijn medewerkers en aannemers van de Wikimedia Foundation die door de communicatie- of juridische afdelingen zijn goedgekeurd om beheerdersrechten op deze wiki te hebben om hun werkzaamheden uit te voeren.

&lt;span id=&quot;Stewards_and_Global_sysops&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Stewards en Globale beheerders ===

Een vrijwilliger gekozen om te dienen als [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|stewards]] of geselecteerd om te dienen als [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global sysops|globale beheerder]] heeft ook beheerdersrechten op de Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki. Deze vrijwilligers kunnen dit gebruiken om zich bezig te houden met inhoud of onderhoud van inhoud in [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Namespaces|namespaces]] die kunnen worden [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Editing policy|bewerkt door geregistreerde accounts]]. Ze mogen echter geen inhoud bewerken binnen de name namespace van de inhoud zonder eerst contact op te nemen met de Foundation.
{{anchor|translateadmin}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Translation_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Beheerdersrechten voor vertalingen ====

Globale beheerders of stewards die geïnteresseerd zijn in het ondersteunen van inspanningen om vandalisme in vertalingen aan te pakken, kunnen verzoeken om te worden toegevoegd aan de groep &quot;[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Translation administrators|Vertaalbeheerders]]&quot;. Hoewel globale beheerders en stewards veel van de beheerdersrechten op deze wiki hebben, zijn rechten die verband houden met de groep Vertaalbeheerders nodig om pagina's te beheren [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikmedia:Translations|Voor vertaling instellen]].

Accounts in de [[#editor|bewerkingsgroep]] hebben ook rechten vertaalbeheerder.

Om te vragen om bij de groep beheerders van vertalingen te worden gevoegd, kunt u een verzoek op de Babel-pagina plaatsen of contact opnemen met de afdeling communicatie van de Foundation ({{email|talktocomms|wikimedia.org}}) met uw verzoek.
{{anchor|accessrequests}}

&lt;span id=&quot;Requesting_editor_or_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Aanvragen van bewerkers- of beheerdersrechten ==

Medewerkers kunnen contact opnemen met het team Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki Core Administrators via het interne {{Wiki Slack channel link}} Slack-kanaal zodra ze toestemming hebben gekregen van een manager binnen Legal of Communications. Men kan ook [//office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_Foundation_Governance_Wiki deze Foundation Governance Wiki pagina] controleren voor contactgegevens over de huidige projectleiding van Foundation Governance wiki.

&lt;span id=&quot;Steps_for_Wikimedia_Foundation_staff_requesting_editor_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Stappen voor medewerkers van de Wikimedia Foundation die editorrechten aanvragen ===
# Ontvang en documenteer (via e-mail of Slack) toestemming van uw manager om editorrechten op deze wiki aan te vragen.
# Als uw manager niet in de afdeling 'Communications' of 'Legal' zit, moet u ook (via e-mail of Slack) toestemming ontvangen en documenteren om de redactierechten op deze wiki te ontvangen van een manager in een van die afdelingen.
#* Als u het e-mailproces van talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org gaat gebruiken om uw verzoek om toegang als redacteur in te dienen, kunt u uw e-mail ook gebruiken als een verzoek om goedkeuring door de manager van de afdeling Communicatie.
# Als u er nog geen heeft, maak dan een aan de Wikimedia Foundation gelieerd account aan voor gebruik op Wikimedia-projectwiki's door uw manager contact op te laten nemen met Wikimedia Foundation IT Services (techsupport{{@}}wikimedia.org). Het aanmaken van een account wordt over het algemeen gedaan als onderdeel van het aansluiten bij de Wikimedia-beweging.
#* U hoeft geen extra account aan te vragen voor deze wiki, en uw inloggegevens voor Wikimedia-projectwiki's zouden op deze wiki moeten werken. Uw aanmeldingsgegevens voor Office Wiki zijn echter gescheiden en werken mogelijk niet op deze wiki.
# Neem contact op met het team Core Administrators van de wiki en vraag om rechten voor de bewerkersgroep. Het kan voor uw manager gemakkelijker zijn om het verzoek in te dienen, maar u moet deze persoon in het verzoek opnemen of documentatie verstrekken van de goedkeuring(en) van de manager. Vanaf {{dateT|month=03|year=2024}} is de voorkeursmethode om dit team te bereiken met verzoeken om extra rechten een van de volgende dingen:
#* Contact met het team opnemen via interne Slack-kanaal {{Wiki Slack channel link}}.
#* Een verzoek indienen bij de afdeling Communicatie via het e-mail proces talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org.
#* Contact opnemen met een lid van het team via Slack.
&lt;span id=&quot;Wikimedia_Foundation_staff_requesting_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Aanvragen van beheerdersrechten door medewerkers van de Wikimedia Foundation ===

Over het algemeen zijn [[Special:ListGroupRights|beheerdersrechten niet nodig]] voor de meeste personeels- en bestuursactiviteiten op deze wiki. Als u echter denkt dat u deze rechten nodig heeft om uw werk te kunnen doen, neem dan contact op met de huidige Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki-projectleider op Slack of het team Core Administrators van de wiki via het interne Slack-kanaal van {{Wiki Slack channel link}} om dit te bespreken.

&lt;span id=&quot;Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Trustees_requesting_editor_or_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Aanvragen van bewerkers/beheerdersrechten door bestuursleden van de Wikimedia Foundation ===

Elk bestuurslid van de Wikimedia Foundation die rechten als redacteur of beheerder wil, moet contact opnemen met het kantoor van de CEO, die vervolgens de toegang zal documenteren en de verwerking zal aanvragen door het team Core Administrators van de wiki.

&lt;span id=&quot;Wikimedia_Global_Sysops_and_Stewards_requesting_translation_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Wikimedia globale beheerders en stewards vragen beheerdersrechten aan voor vertalingen ===

Bedankt voor uw belangstelling in het ondersteunen van de inspanningen van Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki! Als u de rechten van  een vertalingsbeheerder wilt krijgen:
* Maak een verzoek aan op [[Wikimedia talk:Babel|Babel]].
* Of neem contact op met een lid van het team Core Administrators van de wiki.
&lt;span id=&quot;Removal_of_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Verwijderen van rechten ==

Vanwege vertrek, veranderingen in rollen of helaas soms wangedrag is het soms noodzakelijk om rechten van een account te verwijderen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Blocks_and_bans&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Blokkades en verbanningen ===

Raadpleeg de [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Conduct policy#blocks|Blokkades en verbanningen]] in het [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Conduct policy|Gedragsbeleid]] van deze wiki's voor meer informatie over blokkades en bans.

&lt;span id=&quot;Staff_departures_or_change_in_roles&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Vertrek van personeel of verandering van rol ===

Verzoeken om rechten te verwijderen van personeelsaccounts moeten worden verzonden door de manager van de eigenaar van het account, een vertegenwoordiger van de personeelsafdeling of een vertegenwoordiger van IT-diensten aan het team Core Administrators van deze wiki.

Vanaf {{dateT|month=03|year=2024}}, is de voorkeursmethode voor het doen van deze verzoeken om een lid van het team Core Administrators via Slack of e-mail te contacteren. Vanwege het soms gevoelige karakter van deze verzoeken moeten zij niet worden gedaan via grote groepskanalen (zoals groepsmails of Slack-kanalen).

&lt;span id=&quot;Board_departures&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Vertrek van bestuursleden ===

Verzoeken tot verwijdering van rechten van accounts van vertrekkende leden van de Raad van Bestuur van de Foundation moeten worden ingediend door een vertegenwoordiger van het kantoor van de CEO, IT-services of de personeelsafdeling.

Vanaf {{dateT|month=03|year=2024}} zijn methoden om het team Core Administrators te bereiken met verzoeken om rechten van verwijderen:
* Het team Core Administrators benaderen via het interne Slack-kanaal {{Wiki Slack channel link}}.
* Een verzoek indienen bij de afdeling Communicatie via de e-mail talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org.
* {{tunit|36|Contacting a member of the Core Administrators Team via Slack.}}

&lt;span id=&quot;Processes_for_account_maintenance&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Processen voor onderhoud accounts ==

Het onderstaande is bedoeld als nuttige herinnering voor het team Core Administrators van de wiki bij het verwerken van accountgerelateerde verzoeken.
{{anchor|grantingeditor}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Granting_editor_access_to_Foundation_staff_or_Board_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Toegang tot bewerken geven aan medewerkers van de Foundation of aan bestuursleden ===

Elk lid van het team Core Administrators van de wiki kan deze toegang geven zodra een verzoek officieel is ingediend.

Wie bewerkingsgroepsrechten verleent aan het medewerkers van de Foundation of aan het Bestuur, moet:
# Controleren dat de persoon die het verzoek indient, de goedkeuring heeft van zijn manager en, indien hij geen lid is van de afdelingen Communicatie of Juridische zaken, een manager van een van die twee afdelingen.
#* Als een verzoek wordt gedaan via een e-mailadres van talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org zonder voorafgaande toestemming van de communicatie- of juridische manager, controleer dan of de afdeling Communicatie het verzoek heeft goedgekeurd.
#* Indien een verzoek wordt ingediend door een huidig bestuurslid van de Foundation, is geen verificatie nodig.
# Als het account niet lokaal is gemaakt, gebruik [[Special:CreateLocalAccount|Special:CreateLocalAccount]] om een lokaal account te maken.
# Geef het gevraagde account toegang tot de gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;editor&lt;/code&gt; voor onbepaalde tijd, tenzij bij het verzoek een specifieke einddatum is aangegeven.
#* Toegang tot deze groep biedt ook [[#translateadmin|rechten vertaalbeheerder]], zodat u niet beide hoeft toe te voegen.
# Plaats een bericht {{tl|welcome}} op de overlegpagina van de gebruiker met &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{subst:welcome}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.
# Voeg de houder van het account, indien mogelijk, toe aan het interne Slack-kanaal {{Wiki Slack channel link}}
# Indien de gebruiker bestuurslid is van de Foundation, moet het kantoor van de CEO worden meegedeeld dat de toegang is verleend.
&lt;span id=&quot;Granting_administrator_access_to_Foundation_staff_or_Board_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Beheerderstoegang verlenen aan medewerkers van de Foundation of bestuursleden ===

Vanaf september 2024 heeft alleen de Projectleider van het team Core Administrators de rechten van &lt;code&gt;bureaucrat&lt;/code&gt; op hun personeelsaccount die nodig zijn om administratieve rechten te verlenen. Het team Trust and Safety kan ook administratieve rechten verstrekken indien de projectleider anders het verzoek niet kan verwerken.

Iedereen die beheerdersrechten verleent aan medewerkers of bestuur van de Foundation moet:

# De [[#grantingeditor|bovenstaande stappen]] volgen als u ook toegang voor bewerkingen verleent.
# Controleren of de persoon die het verzoek indient, de goedkeuring heeft van zijn manager.
# Verifiëren dat de administratie-toegang van het account door het team Core Administrators is verleend.
# Geef aan het genoemde account toegang tot de gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;administrator&lt;/code&gt; voor onbepaalde tijd, tenzij een specifieke einddatum in het verzoek is aangegeven.
# Stel het team Core Administrators via het interne {{Wiki Slack channel link}} Slack-kanaal in kennis dat toegang is verleend.
# Indien de accounthouder bestuurslid is van de Foundation, moet het kantoor van de CEO worden meegedeeld dat de toegang is verleend.
&lt;span id=&quot;Granting_translation_administrator_access_to_Global_Sysop_or_Steward_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Toegang als vertaalbeheerder verlenen aan globale beheer / steward ===

Vanaf september 2024 kan het team Core Administrators beheerdersrechten voor vertalingen verstrekken. Het team Trust and Safety kan ook beheerdersrechten voor vertalingen verlenen als het andere team de aanvraag anderszins niet kan verwerken. Stewards kunnen ook naar eigen goeddunken vertaalbeheerdersrechten verlenen, of verzoeken doorverwijzen naar het team Core Administrators.

Merk op dat het personeel of het bestuur van de Wikimedia Foundation [[#editor|bewerkersgroeprechten]] moet aanvragen voor hun Wikimedia Foundation wiki-gebruikersaccount, tenzij alleen het onderhoud van vertaalprocessen wordt uitgevoerd.

Iedereen die beheerdersrechten verleent aan globale beheerders of stewards moet:

# Controleren of het account in het bezit is van een globale beheerder of steward.
# Aangevraagde accounttoegang verlenen aan een gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;translation administrator&lt;/code&gt; voor onbepaalde tijd, tenzij er een specifieke einddatum aan de aanvraag is aangegeven.
#* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Please note that accounts already in the &lt;code&gt;editor&lt;/code&gt; group have these rights and therefore do not need to be in both groups at the same time.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_editor_or_translation_administrator_rights_from_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Rechten van bewerkers of vertalers verwijderen ===

Elk lid van het team Core Administrators van de wiki kan de rechten van bewerkers of vertaalbeheerders verwijderen zodra een formeel verzoek is ingediend.

Iedereen die de rechten van een bewerkersgroep verwijdert, moet:
# Controleren of de aanvraag de juiste goedkeuring heeft van de manager, het kantoor van de CEO, de IT-afdeling of de personeelsafdeling.
#* Als de persoon publiekelijk zijn rol heeft opgegeven, is er geen aanvullende verificatie nodig.
# Schakel de toegang van het aangevraagde account tot de gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;editor&lt;/code&gt; of &lt;code&gt;translation administrator&lt;/code&gt; uit.
{{anchor|removingadmin}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_administrator_access_from_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Beheerderstoegang verwijderen ===

Alleen het Wikimedia Foundation team Trust Safety heeft de nodige toegang en rechten om beheerdersrechten van een account op deze wiki te verwijderen.

De manager van een accounthouder, het kantoor van de CEO, Office IT, de personeelsafdeling of het team Core Administrators van deze wiki kunnen dergelijke verzoeken, met documentatie of uitleg indien nodig, naar het team Trust &amp; Safety sturen naar hun e-mailadres ca{{@}}wikimedia.org.

&lt;span id=&quot;Regular_audit_of_user_group_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Regelmatige controle van de rechten van gebruikersgroepen ===

Ten minste één keer per boekjaar moet het team Core Administrators een audit uitvoeren van alle accounts met bewerkings-, beheerders- of vertalingsadministratie-rechten en de associatie van elke rekeninghouder met de Foundation verifiëren.

Van alle medewerkers, bestuursleden, globale beheerders en stewards die niet langer die rol hebben, moeten de rechten van de geassocieerde gebruikersgroep worden verwijderd. Leden van het team van Core Administrators kunnen indien nodig de rechten van bewerkers en vertaalbeheerders intrekken. Verzoeken tot verwijdering van beheerdersgroepsrechten moeten worden verzonden naar het team Trust &amp; Safety van de Foundation.</text>

== Beheerders ==

Beheerders op de Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki zijn medewerkers en aannemers van de Wikimedia Foundation die door de communicatie- of juridische afdelingen zijn goedgekeurd om beheerdersrechten op deze wiki te hebben om hun werkzaamheden uit te voeren.

&lt;span id=&quot;Stewards_and_Global_sysops&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Stewards en Globale beheerders ===

Een vrijwilliger gekozen om te dienen als [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|stewards]] of geselecteerd om te dienen als [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global sysops|globale beheerder]] heeft ook beheerdersrechten op de Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki. Deze vrijwilligers kunnen dit gebruiken om zich bezig te houden met inhoud of onderhoud van inhoud in [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Namespaces|namespaces]] die kunnen worden [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Editing policy|bewerkt door geregistreerde accounts]]. Ze mogen echter geen inhoud bewerken binnen de name namespace van de inhoud zonder eerst contact op te nemen met de Foundation.
{{anchor|translateadmin}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Translation_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Beheerdersrechten voor vertalingen ====

Globale beheerders of stewards die geïnteresseerd zijn in het ondersteunen van inspanningen om vandalisme in vertalingen aan te pakken, kunnen verzoeken om te worden toegevoegd aan de groep &quot;[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Translation administrators|Vertaalbeheerders]]&quot;. Hoewel globale beheerders en stewards veel van de beheerdersrechten op deze wiki hebben, zijn rechten die verband houden met de groep Vertaalbeheerders nodig om pagina's te beheren [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikmedia:Translations|Voor vertaling instellen]].

Accounts in de [[#editor|bewerkingsgroep]] hebben ook rechten vertaalbeheerder.

Om te vragen om bij de groep beheerders van vertalingen te worden gevoegd, kunt u een verzoek op de Babel-pagina plaatsen of contact opnemen met de afdeling communicatie van de Foundation ({{email|talktocomms|wikimedia.org}}) met uw verzoek.
{{anchor|accessrequests}}

&lt;span id=&quot;Requesting_editor_or_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Aanvragen van bewerkers- of beheerdersrechten ==

Medewerkers kunnen contact opnemen met het team Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki Core Administrators via het interne {{Wiki Slack channel link}} Slack-kanaal zodra ze toestemming hebben gekregen van een manager binnen Legal of Communications. Men kan ook [//office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_Foundation_Governance_Wiki deze Foundation Governance Wiki pagina] controleren voor contactgegevens over de huidige projectleiding van Foundation Governance wiki.

&lt;span id=&quot;Steps_for_Wikimedia_Foundation_staff_requesting_editor_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Stappen voor medewerkers van de Wikimedia Foundation die editorrechten aanvragen ===
# Ontvang en documenteer (via e-mail of Slack) toestemming van uw manager om editorrechten op deze wiki aan te vragen.
# Als uw manager niet in de afdeling 'Communications' of 'Legal' zit, moet u ook (via e-mail of Slack) toestemming ontvangen en documenteren om de redactierechten op deze wiki te ontvangen van een manager in een van die afdelingen.
#* Als u het e-mailproces van talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org gaat gebruiken om uw verzoek om toegang als redacteur in te dienen, kunt u uw e-mail ook gebruiken als een verzoek om goedkeuring door de manager van de afdeling Communicatie.
# Als u er nog geen heeft, maak dan een aan de Wikimedia Foundation gelieerd account aan voor gebruik op Wikimedia-projectwiki's door uw manager contact op te laten nemen met Wikimedia Foundation IT Services (techsupport{{@}}wikimedia.org). Het aanmaken van een account wordt over het algemeen gedaan als onderdeel van het aansluiten bij de Wikimedia-beweging.
#* U hoeft geen extra account aan te vragen voor deze wiki, en uw inloggegevens voor Wikimedia-projectwiki's zouden op deze wiki moeten werken. Uw aanmeldingsgegevens voor Office Wiki zijn echter gescheiden en werken mogelijk niet op deze wiki.
# Neem contact op met het team Core Administrators van de wiki en vraag om rechten voor de bewerkersgroep. Het kan voor uw manager gemakkelijker zijn om het verzoek in te dienen, maar u moet deze persoon in het verzoek opnemen of documentatie verstrekken van de goedkeuring(en) van de manager. Vanaf {{dateT|month=03|year=2024}} is de voorkeursmethode om dit team te bereiken met verzoeken om extra rechten een van de volgende dingen:
#* Contact met het team opnemen via interne Slack-kanaal {{Wiki Slack channel link}}.
#* Een verzoek indienen bij de afdeling Communicatie via het e-mail proces talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org.
#* Contact opnemen met een lid van het team via Slack.
&lt;span id=&quot;Wikimedia_Foundation_staff_requesting_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Aanvragen van beheerdersrechten door medewerkers van de Wikimedia Foundation ===

Over het algemeen zijn [[Special:ListGroupRights|beheerdersrechten niet nodig]] voor de meeste personeels- en bestuursactiviteiten op deze wiki. Als u echter denkt dat u deze rechten nodig heeft om uw werk te kunnen doen, neem dan contact op met de huidige Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki-projectleider op Slack of het team Core Administrators van de wiki via het interne Slack-kanaal van {{Wiki Slack channel link}} om dit te bespreken.

&lt;span id=&quot;Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Trustees_requesting_editor_or_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Aanvragen van bewerkers/beheerdersrechten door bestuursleden van de Wikimedia Foundation ===

Elk bestuurslid van de Wikimedia Foundation die rechten als redacteur of beheerder wil, moet contact opnemen met het kantoor van de CEO, die vervolgens de toegang zal documenteren en de verwerking zal aanvragen door het team Core Administrators van de wiki.

&lt;span id=&quot;Wikimedia_Global_Sysops_and_Stewards_requesting_translation_administrator_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Wikimedia globale beheerders en stewards vragen beheerdersrechten aan voor vertalingen ===

Bedankt voor uw belangstelling in het ondersteunen van de inspanningen van Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki! Als u de rechten van  een vertalingsbeheerder wilt krijgen:
* Maak een verzoek aan op [[Wikimedia talk:Babel|Babel]].
* Of neem contact op met een lid van het team Core Administrators van de wiki.
&lt;span id=&quot;Removal_of_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Verwijderen van rechten ==

Vanwege vertrek, veranderingen in rollen of helaas soms wangedrag is het soms noodzakelijk om rechten van een account te verwijderen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Blocks_and_bans&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Blokkades en verbanningen ===

Raadpleeg de [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Conduct policy#blocks|Blokkades en verbanningen]] in het [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia:Conduct policy|Gedragsbeleid]] van deze wiki's voor meer informatie over blokkades en bans.

&lt;span id=&quot;Staff_departures_or_change_in_roles&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Vertrek van personeel of verandering van rol ===

Verzoeken om rechten te verwijderen van personeelsaccounts moeten worden verzonden door de manager van de eigenaar van het account, een vertegenwoordiger van de personeelsafdeling of een vertegenwoordiger van IT-diensten aan het team Core Administrators van deze wiki.

Vanaf {{dateT|month=03|year=2024}}, is de voorkeursmethode voor het doen van deze verzoeken om een lid van het team Core Administrators via Slack of e-mail te contacteren. Vanwege het soms gevoelige karakter van deze verzoeken moeten zij niet worden gedaan via grote groepskanalen (zoals groepsmails of Slack-kanalen).

&lt;span id=&quot;Board_departures&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Vertrek van bestuursleden ===

Verzoeken tot verwijdering van rechten van accounts van vertrekkende leden van de Raad van Bestuur van de Foundation moeten worden ingediend door een vertegenwoordiger van het kantoor van de CEO, IT-services of de personeelsafdeling.

Vanaf {{dateT|month=03|year=2024}} zijn methoden om het team Core Administrators te bereiken met verzoeken om rechten van verwijderen:
* Het team Core Administrators benaderen via het interne Slack-kanaal {{Wiki Slack channel link}}.
* Een verzoek indienen bij de afdeling Communicatie via de e-mail talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org.
* {{tunit|36|Contacting a member of the Core Administrators Team via Slack.}}

&lt;span id=&quot;Processes_for_account_maintenance&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Processen voor onderhoud accounts ==

Het onderstaande is bedoeld als nuttige herinnering voor het team Core Administrators van de wiki bij het verwerken van accountgerelateerde verzoeken.
{{anchor|grantingeditor}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Granting_editor_access_to_Foundation_staff_or_Board_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Toegang tot bewerken geven aan medewerkers van de Foundation of aan bestuursleden ===

Elk lid van het team Core Administrators van de wiki kan deze toegang geven zodra een verzoek officieel is ingediend.

Wie bewerkingsgroepsrechten verleent aan het medewerkers van de Foundation of aan het Bestuur, moet:
# Controleren dat de persoon die het verzoek indient, de goedkeuring heeft van zijn manager en, indien hij geen lid is van de afdelingen Communicatie of Juridische zaken, een manager van een van die twee afdelingen.
#* Als een verzoek wordt gedaan via een e-mailadres van talktocomms{{@}}wikimedia.org zonder voorafgaande toestemming van de communicatie- of juridische manager, controleer dan of de afdeling Communicatie het verzoek heeft goedgekeurd.
#* Indien een verzoek wordt ingediend door een huidig bestuurslid van de Foundation, is geen verificatie nodig.
# Als het account niet lokaal is gemaakt, gebruik [[Special:CreateLocalAccount|Special:CreateLocalAccount]] om een lokaal account te maken.
# Geef het gevraagde account toegang tot de gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;editor&lt;/code&gt; voor onbepaalde tijd, tenzij bij het verzoek een specifieke einddatum is aangegeven.
#* Toegang tot deze groep biedt ook [[#translateadmin|rechten vertaalbeheerder]], zodat u niet beide hoeft toe te voegen.
# Plaats een bericht {{tl|welcome}} op de overlegpagina van de gebruiker met &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{subst:welcome}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.
# Voeg de houder van het account, indien mogelijk, toe aan het interne Slack-kanaal {{Wiki Slack channel link}}
# Indien de gebruiker bestuurslid is van de Foundation, moet het kantoor van de CEO worden meegedeeld dat de toegang is verleend.
&lt;span id=&quot;Granting_administrator_access_to_Foundation_staff_or_Board_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Beheerderstoegang verlenen aan medewerkers van de Foundation of bestuursleden ===

Vanaf september 2024 heeft alleen de Projectleider van het team Core Administrators de rechten van &lt;code&gt;bureaucrat&lt;/code&gt; op hun personeelsaccount die nodig zijn om administratieve rechten te verlenen. Het team Trust and Safety kan ook administratieve rechten verstrekken indien de projectleider anders het verzoek niet kan verwerken.

Iedereen die beheerdersrechten verleent aan medewerkers of bestuur van de Foundation moet:

# De [[#grantingeditor|bovenstaande stappen]] volgen als u ook toegang voor bewerkingen verleent.
# Controleren of de persoon die het verzoek indient, de goedkeuring heeft van zijn manager.
# Verifiëren dat de administratie-toegang van het account door het team Core Administrators is verleend.
# Geef aan het genoemde account toegang tot de gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;administrator&lt;/code&gt; voor onbepaalde tijd, tenzij een specifieke einddatum in het verzoek is aangegeven.
# Stel het team Core Administrators via het interne {{Wiki Slack channel link}} Slack-kanaal in kennis dat toegang is verleend.
# Indien de accounthouder bestuurslid is van de Foundation, moet het kantoor van de CEO worden meegedeeld dat de toegang is verleend.
&lt;span id=&quot;Granting_translation_administrator_access_to_Global_Sysop_or_Steward_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Toegang als vertaalbeheerder verlenen aan globale beheer / steward ===

Vanaf september 2024 kan het team Core Administrators beheerdersrechten voor vertalingen verstrekken. Het team Trust and Safety kan ook beheerdersrechten voor vertalingen verlenen als het andere team de aanvraag anderszins niet kan verwerken. Stewards kunnen ook naar eigen goeddunken vertaalbeheerdersrechten verlenen, of verzoeken doorverwijzen naar het team Core Administrators.

Merk op dat het personeel of het bestuur van de Wikimedia Foundation [[#editor|bewerkersgroeprechten]] moet aanvragen voor hun Wikimedia Foundation wiki-gebruikersaccount, tenzij alleen het onderhoud van vertaalprocessen wordt uitgevoerd.

Iedereen die beheerdersrechten verleent aan globale beheerders of stewards moet:

# Controleren of het account in het bezit is van een globale beheerder of steward.
# Aangevraagde accounttoegang verlenen aan een gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;translation administrator&lt;/code&gt; voor onbepaalde tijd, tenzij er een specifieke einddatum aan de aanvraag is aangegeven.
#* Houd er rekening mee dat accounts die al in de groep &lt;code&gt;editor&lt;/code&gt; zijn, deze rechten hebben en daarom niet in beide groepen tegelijkertijd hoeven te zijn.

&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_editor_or_translation_administrator_rights_from_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Rechten van bewerkers of vertalers verwijderen ===

Elk lid van het team Core Administrators van de wiki kan de rechten van bewerkers of vertaalbeheerders verwijderen zodra een formeel verzoek is ingediend.

Iedereen die de rechten van een bewerkersgroep verwijdert, moet:
# Controleren of de aanvraag de juiste goedkeuring heeft van de manager, het kantoor van de CEO, de IT-afdeling of de personeelsafdeling.
#* Als de persoon publiekelijk zijn rol heeft opgegeven, is er geen aanvullende verificatie nodig.
# Schakel de toegang van het aangevraagde account tot de gebruikersgroep &lt;code&gt;editor&lt;/code&gt; of &lt;code&gt;translation administrator&lt;/code&gt; uit.
{{anchor|removingadmin}}
&lt;span id=&quot;Removing_administrator_access_from_accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Beheerderstoegang verwijderen ===

Alleen het Wikimedia Foundation team Trust Safety heeft de nodige toegang en rechten om beheerdersrechten van een account op deze wiki te verwijderen.

De manager van een accounthouder, het kantoor van de CEO, Office IT, de personeelsafdeling of het team Core Administrators van deze wiki kunnen dergelijke verzoeken, met documentatie of uitleg indien nodig, naar het team Trust &amp; Safety sturen naar hun e-mailadres ca{{@}}wikimedia.org.

&lt;span id=&quot;Regular_audit_of_user_group_rights&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Regelmatige controle van de rechten van gebruikersgroepen ===

Ten minste één keer per boekjaar moet het team Core Administrators een audit uitvoeren van alle accounts met bewerkings-, beheerders- of vertalingsadministratie-rechten en de associatie van elke rekeninghouder met de Foundation verifiëren.

Van alle medewerkers, bestuursleden, globale beheerders en stewards die niet langer die rol hebben, moeten de rechten van de geassocieerde gebruikersgroep worden verwijderd. Leden van het team van Core Administrators kunnen indien nodig de rechten van bewerkers en vertaalbeheerders intrekken. Verzoeken tot verwijdering van beheerdersgroepsrechten moeten worden verzonden naar het team Trust &amp; Safety van de Foundation.</text>

You, the user, are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies that govern each of the independent Project editions, including the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC), which apply to all Project editions. The largest of our Projects is Wikipedia, but we host other Projects too, each with different objectives and work methods. Each Project edition has a team of contributors, editors or authors who work together to create and manage the content on that Project edition. You are welcome to join these teams and work with them to improve these Projects. Since we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, content you contribute is made available under a free license or released in the public domain.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and reuse of Wikimedia content under the laws of the United States of America and other applicable laws (which may include laws where you or the subject of your contributions are located). This means it is important that you exercise caution when posting, modifying or reusing content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot do, most of which are either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of an appropriate professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For clarity, other organizations, such as [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] and associations, that may share in the same mission are nevertheless legally independent and separate from the Wikimedia Foundation. Unless otherwise stated by the Foundation as an authorized party on a given Project's Website, those other organizations have no responsibility for the operations of the Project's Website or its content.

== 1. Our Services ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development, and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content of these wiki-based Projects for the public free of charge. Our role is to host some of the largest collaboratively edited reference Projects in the world, [//www.wikimedia.org which can be found here]. However, we act only as a hosting service provider, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework. This infrastructure and framework allow our users to build the Projects by contributing and editing content themselves. They also allow our users to reuse that content. The infrastructure we maintain includes specialized technological infrastructure that enables users to programmatically interact with and reuse content on Projects (referred to as &quot;Application Programming Interface&quot; or &quot;APIs&quot;), and mobile applications.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As used throughout the rest of the Terms of Use, our services consist of: [//www.wikimedia.org The Project Websites we host], technological infrastructure that we maintain, and any technical spaces that we host for the maintenance and improvement of our Projects.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you, the Projects, and other users:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''We do not take an editorial role:''' Because the Projects are collaboratively edited, the vast majority of the content that we host is provided by users, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Project Websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, unless we have expressly stated otherwise, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content on the Projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''You are responsible for your own actions:''' You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on the Projects, your reuse of content on the Projects, your use of the APIs, and your use of our services more generally. For your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid taking any actions that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. For other countries, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn users—particularly the editors, contributors, and authors—that non-U.S. authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification against the application of such laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We ask that you review the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|terms of our Privacy Policy]], so that you are aware of how we collect and use your information.

We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 4. Refraining from Certain Activities ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation only exist because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the shared Project. We ask that all users review and follow the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (&quot;UCoC&quot;), which lays out requirements for collegial, civil collaboration across all Projects that we host.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Certain activities, whether legal or illegal under the applicable law, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on, or otherwise using, our Projects. These activities include:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:::* a statement on your user page,
:::* a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:::* a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* In addition, if you make a public posting off the Projects advertising editing services on Wikipedia in exchange for compensation of any kind, you must disclose all Wikipedia accounts you have used or will use for this service in the public posting on the third-party service.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* Applicable law, or Project-specific policies and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure. For example, infringing Wikimedia Trademarks (defined hereinafter at Section 6) to advertise paid editing services, removing disclosures on previously adequately disclosed paid edits, or logged-out paid editing in a manner that makes adequate disclosure a practical impossibility violate this section.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
::* A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy which may supplement or replace this section. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section (titled &quot;Paid Contributions Without Disclosure&quot;) when contributing to that particular Project.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Undisclosed editing by users receiving compensation creates an unreasonable burden on volunteer editors [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest}}|who investigate and enforce community policies]]. Therefore, for violations of this section related to undisclosed paid editing, you agree to submit to binding &quot;Med-Arb&quot; (a &quot;Marketing Company Mediation&quot;) as described in section 14 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the provisions in section 4 of these Terms of Use. Where required, enforcement of these terms may include actions not listed in the Wikimedia Foundation [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions|Office Action Policy]]. If enforcement is required in new circumstances, we will make an effort within at most one (1) year to update the Office Action Policy to catalog the new type of action.

Although you have considerable freedoms for reuse of the content on the Project Websites, it is important that, at the Wikimedia Foundation, we protect our trademark rights so that we can protect our users from fraudulent impersonators. Because of this, we ask that you please respect our trademarks. All Wikimedia Foundation trademarks belong to the Wikimedia Foundation, and any use of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, or domain names must be in compliance with these Terms of Use and in compliance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Trademark policy|Trademark Policy]].

== 7. Licensing of Content ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects or Project Websites are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to redistribute and reuse their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to reuse and redistribute is granted to any derivative works. In keeping with our goal of providing free information to the widest possible audience, we require that when necessary all submitted content be licensed so that it is freely reusable by anyone who may access it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree to the following licensing requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style-type: lower-alpha&quot;&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''Text to which you hold the copyright:''' When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* [//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.{{PAGELANGUAGE}} Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (&quot;CC BY-SA 4.0&quot;), and
* [//www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License] (&quot;GFDL&quot;) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Reusers may comply with either license or both.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The only exception is if the Project edition or feature requires a different license. In that case, you agree to license any text you contribute under the particular license prescribed by the Project edition or the feature.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms of the respective licenses. Where you own Sui Generis Database Rights covered by CC BY-SA 4.0, you waive these rights. As an example, this means facts you contribute to the projects may be reused freely without attribution.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7b&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Attribution:''' Attribution is an important part of these licenses. We consider it giving credit where credit is due – to authors like yourself. When you contribute text, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy that is freely accessible, which conforms with the relevant license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on the Project Website; or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7c&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Importing text:''' You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you represent and warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with CC BY-SA (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature). For a list of compatible licenses, see [//creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ Creative Commons]. You shall not import content that is available solely under GFDL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the Wikimedia community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7d&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Non-text media:''' Non-text media on the Projects are available under a variety of different licenses that support the general goal of allowing unrestricted reuse and redistribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Licensing policy|Licensing Policy]], and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the [[:c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Licensing|Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy]] for more information on contributing non-text media to Wikimedia Commons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is important however that you confirm the public domain status of the content under the law of the United States of America as well as the laws of any other countries as required by the specific Project edition. When you contribute content that is in the public domain, you warrant that the material is actually in the public domain, and you agree to label it appropriately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;7g&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Re-use:''' Reuse of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under &quot;fair use&quot; or similar exemptions under applicable copyright law. Any reuse must comply with the underlying license(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you reuse or redistribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;OL STYLE=&quot;list-style:lower-roman&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are reusing (since each page has a history page that lists all contributors, authors and editors);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If the text content was imported from another source, it is possible that the content is licensed under a compatible CC BY-SA license but not GFDL (as described in &quot;Importing text,&quot; above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to relicense it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to reuse or redistribute, you should review the page footer, page history, and discussion page.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition, please be aware that text that originated from external sources and was imported into a Project may be under a license that attaches additional attribution requirements. Users agree to indicate these additional attribution requirements clearly. Depending on the Project, such requirements may appear, for example, in a banner or other notations pointing out that some or all of the content was originally published elsewhere. Where there are such visible notations, reusers should preserve them.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For any non-text media, you agree to comply with the applicable license under which the work has been made available (which can be discovered by clicking on the work and looking at the licensing section on its description page or reviewing an applicable source page for that work). When reusing any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Modifications or additions to material that you reuse:''' When modifying or making additions to text that you have obtained from a Project Website, you agree to license the modified or added content under CC BY-SA 4.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When modifying or making additions to any non-text media that you have obtained from a Project website, you agree to license the modified or added content in accordance with whatever license under which the work has been made available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are reusing text content in a wiki, it is sufficient to indicate in the page history that you made a change to the imported text. For each copy or modified version that you distribute, you agree to include a licensing notice stating which license the work is released under, along with either a hyperlink or URL to the text of the license or a copy of the license itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''Global Copyright Compliance'''
If you believe that content on Wikipedia violates intellectual property rights, it can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation following our illegal content reporting process (see section 10 below).
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that due to the harmonization of international copyright law, in many cases it will be possible to submit a notice of copyright violation under either your local law or US law. To be valid under US law, a copyright notice must follow the requirements of the DMCA, listed below.
&lt;/div&gt; 

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
:'''DMCA Compliance'''
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be reused by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (&quot;DMCA&quot;). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers on our Projects and services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the [//lumendatabase.org/ Lumen Database] website.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed by filing a notice under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}} or [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:DMCA takedowns|snail mail our designated agent]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than the process prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, [[:m:Copyright problems|visit the Copyright Problems page]]. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects and Project Websites contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

== 10. Management of Websites ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The community has the primary role in creating and enforcing policies applying to the different Project editions. At the Wikimedia Foundation, we rarely intervene in community decisions about policy and its enforcement.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is possible to notify us of illegal content, or content that violates our Terms of Use (including all policies and other documents incorporated by reference) for other reasons [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|by contacting us directly]]. However, you can typically make a request directly to the Project's community: this may be more efficient, and is more consistent with our Projects' aim to empower the user community. Please note that this contact method functions as the Foundation’s grievance redressal mechanism for all jurisdictions that require one. Grievances submitted through this contact will be reviewed, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Project will usually provide &quot;Help&quot; or &quot;Contact&quot; pages for further guidance, or specific tools for reporting issues. Alternatively – if in doubt – you can ask members of the community for help, by sending an email to {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} or a more language-specific address from the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team page]]. Please note that these mailboxes are monitored by users of the Projects, not the Foundation. As a result, they should not be threatened or issued with legal demands.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you contact the Foundation with a problem, we will typically explore whether and how existing community-led mechanisms can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve it.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user or especially problematic content because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion (or where legally compelled), to:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Investigate your use of the Projects or our services (a) to determine whether a violation of these Terms of Use, Project edition policy, or other applicable law or policy has occurred, or (b) to comply with any applicable law, legal process, or an appropriate governmental request;
* Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, false or unverifiable information, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
* Refuse, revert, disable, or restrict access to contributions of any user who violates these Terms of Use;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* Ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access for actions violating these Terms of Use, including repeat posting of unlawful material under applicable law in line with human rights principles;
* Take legal action against users who violate these Terms of Use (including reports to law enforcement authorities); and
* Manage otherwise the Project websites in a manner designed to facilitate their proper functioning and protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and our users, licensors, partners, and the public.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Those Foundation moderation activities may be informed or performed by software (such as traffic flood (&quot;Denial of Service&quot;) protection). In those cases human review is normally available, [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|upon request]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had their account or access blocked under this section, they are prohibited from creating or using another account on or seeking access to the same Project, unless we provide explicit permission. Without limiting the authority of the community, the Foundation itself will not ban a user from editing or contributing or block a user's account or access solely because of good faith criticism that does not result in actions otherwise violating these Terms of Use or community policies.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia community and its members may also take action when so allowed by the community or Foundation policies applicable to the specific Project edition, including but not limited to warning, investigating, blocking, or banning users who violate those policies. You agree to comply with the final decisions of dispute resolution bodies that are established by the community for the specific Project editions (such as arbitration committees); these decisions may include sanctions as set out by the policy of the specific Project edition.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Especially problematic users who have had accounts or access blocked on multiple Project editions may be subject to a ban from all of the Project editions, in accordance with the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global bans|Global Ban Policy]]. In contrast to Board resolutions or these Terms of Use, policies established by the community, which may cover a single Project edition or multiple Projects editions (like the Global Ban Policy), may be modified by the relevant community according to its own procedures.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The blocking of an account or access or the banning of a user under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 13 of these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you believe we have not satisfactorily acted on a problematic content report, or if you have been subjected to a Foundation moderation action that you wish to challenge, you may be able to [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions#appeals|submit an appeal]].  Other information about routes of appeal may also be explained to you at the time, or in Project-specific help pages.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to suspend (temporarily, or permanently) our handling of reports or other correspondence from users or third parties, whether about allegedly illegal or otherwise problematic content or conduct, or requesting appeals against moderation actions, if such correspondence was made in bad faith, repetitive, unfounded, and/or abusive. In appropriate circumstances, your email address may even be blocked on our email system(s), and you will then need to contact us [[{{foundationsite|1=about/contact/}}|at our postal address]] if you wish to further correspond with us during that block. For less serious cases (e.g. up to three polite emails about one or more meritless complaints), this is likely to be temporary. More frequent or more abusive communications are more likely to lead to permanent measures. Additional information for persons in the EU can be found on [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation EU Compliance|our page about EU compliance and reporting]].

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolutions|releases official policies]] from time to time. Some of these policies may be mandatory for a particular Project or Project edition, and, when they are, you agree to abide by them as applicable.

By using our APIs, you agree to abide by all applicable policies governing the use of the APIs, which include but are not limited to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation User-Agent Policy|User-Agent Policy]], the [[wikitech:Robot policy|Robot Policy]], and the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Etiquette|API:Etiquette]] (collectively, &quot;API Documentation&quot;), which are incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Though we hope you will stay and continue to contribute to the Projects, you can stop using our services any time. In certain (hopefully unlikely) circumstances it may be necessary for either ourselves or the Wikimedia community or its members (as described in Section 10) to terminate part or all of our services, terminate these Terms of Use, block your account or access, or ban you as a user. If your account or access is blocked or otherwise terminated for any reason, your public contributions and a record of your activities on or in relation to the Projects (including any correspondence you have sent us) will be unaffected (subject to applicable policies), and you may still access our public pages for the sole purpose of reading publicly available content on the Projects. In such circumstances, however, you may not be able to access your account or settings. However, regardless of any other provision in these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to suspend or end the services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Even after your use and participation are banned, blocked or otherwise suspended, these Terms of Use will remain in effect with respect to relevant provisions, including Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9-16, and 18.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We hope that no serious disagreements arise involving you, but, in the event there is a dispute, we encourage you to seek resolution through the dispute resolution procedures or mechanisms provided by the Projects or Project editions and the Wikimedia Foundation. If you seek to file a legal claim against us, you agree to file and resolve it exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You also agree that the laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America will govern these Terms of Use, as well as any legal claim that might arise between you and us (without reference to conflict of laws principles). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, the courts located in San Francisco County, California, in any legal action or proceeding relating to us or these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To ensure that disputes are dealt with soon after they arise, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you might have arising out of or related to use of our services or these Terms of Use must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations or, if earlier, one (1) year after the pertinent facts underlying such claim or cause of action could have been discovered with reasonable diligence (or be forever barred). If &quot;choice of forum&quot; clauses like the one above are not accepted by the courts where you normally reside, then (i) our choice of forum clause, above, shall be ignored, and (ii) you can refer any dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction where you normally live, following the applicable law rules of those courts. Similarly, if applicable law does not allow the enforcement of the choice of law in this section, then you can resolve a dispute according to the choice of law rules in the court of competent jurisdiction.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{Tunit|123|'''Marketing Company Mediations'''}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As described in section 4 of these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve violations of the Paid Contributions without Disclosure in a Marketing Company Mediation at the Foundation's discretion. Marketing Company Mediations are '''binding''' mediations where, at the end of either a half or full day session, any disputed items that remain unresolved will be decided by the mediator in a legally binding decision. They will be conducted in meetings by teleconference or videoconference. If an in-person meeting is required, then the Marketing Company Mediation will take place in San Francisco County, California. The parties will split all fees and expenses related to the mediation/arbitration equally.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree, as part of a Marketing Company Mediation, to cooperate with the Foundation, including by timely providing any documentation in your possession relating to your undisclosed paid editing activities including the accounts used, articles affected, and clients who purchased such services.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Marketing Company Mediations are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the extent that the mediator becomes an arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees (including all fees necessary to determine the applicability of the Marketing Company Mediation and to enforce the binding result) and all costs relating to the investigation and enforcement of its rights. A party may be deemed &quot;prevailing&quot; even if it is not successful on every claim asserted.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If for some reason the entirety of these Marketing Company Mediation requirements are found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any disputes as described in the beginning of this section.

We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability exceed one thousand U.S. dollars (US$1,000.00) in aggregate. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, although our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

== 17. Modifications to these Terms of Use ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Just as the Wikimedia community's input is essential for the growth and maintenance of the Projects, we believe that community input is essential for these Terms of Use to properly serve our users. It is also essential for a fair contract. Therefore, we will provide these Terms of Use, as well as any substantial future revisions of these Terms of Use, to the community for comment at least thirty (30) days before the end of the comment period. If a future proposed revision is substantial, we will provide an additional 30 days for comments after posting a translation of the proposed revision in at least three languages (selected at our discretion). The community will be encouraged to translate the proposed revision in other languages as appropriate. For changes for legal or administrative reasons, to correct an inaccurate statement, or changes in response to community comments, we will provide at least three (3) days' notice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because it may be necessary to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, we will provide notice of such modifications and the opportunity to comment via the Project websites, and via a notification on [[mail:wikimediaannounce-l|WikimediaAnnounce-l]]. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become official following the notice and review period constitutes an acceptance of these Terms of Use on your part. For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users like yourself, if you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|18}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== 18. Other Terms ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint control or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. For the purposes of European Economic Area law, United Kingdom law, or other laws that involve a similar concept, you are not acting &quot;under the authority of&quot; the Foundation when you use the services. If you have not signed a separate agreement with us, these Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and us. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and a signed written agreement between you and us, the signed agreement will control.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms of Use, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Projects or Project Websites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If in any circumstance, we do not apply or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, it is not a waiver of that provision.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You understand that, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, you have no expectation of compensation for any activity, contribution, or idea that you provide to us, the community, or the Projects or Project editions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms of Use, we (the Wikimedia Foundation) and you agree not to modify the applicable terms and requirements of any free license that is employed on the Projects or Project editions when such free license is authorized by these Terms of Use.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These Terms of Use were written in English (U.S.). While we hope that translations of these Terms of Use are accurate, in the event of any differences in meaning between the original English version and a translation, the original English version takes precedence.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Thank You! ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We appreciate your taking the time to read these Terms of Use, and we are very happy to have you contributing to the Projects and using our services. Through your contributions, you are helping to build something really big – not only an important collection of collaboratively edited reference Projects that provides education and information to millions who might otherwise lack access, but also a vibrant community of like-minded and engaged peers, focused on a very noble goal.

(b) Mindestens ein Teil der Gesamtzahl der autorisierten Direktoren muss aus Community-Sitzen bestehen. Diese sind für Personen reserviert, die (i) zuvor als Direktoren der WMF tätig waren und (ii) die Perspektiven der Wikimedia-Community einbringen können.

Diese Direktorensitze werden als &quot;Allgemeine Direktoren&quot; bezeichnet.

Die jeweils amtierenden Direktoren wählen ihre Nachfolger. Diese müssen von mindestens zwei Dritteln der amtierenden Direktoren bestätigt werden. Die Wahl der Direktoren erfolgt aus den nominierten Kandidaten, die gemäß den unten beschriebenen Verfahren nominiert wurden. Die Amtszeit jedes Direktors beträgt drei (3) Jahre, vorbehaltlich der unten beschriebenen Amtszeitbeschränkungen. Jeder Direktor bleibt bis zum Ablauf seiner Amtszeit, für die er gewählt wurde, und bis zur Wahl eines Nachfolgers im Amt.

* '''A. Nominierungsverfahren'''

Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 6 dieser Satzung) ist für die Nominierung von Kandidaten für die Wahl oder Wiederwahl als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands berät sich mit dem Kuratorium der WMF über alle vorgeschlagenen Nominierungen und berücksichtigt alle Stellungnahmen, die innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach einem solchen Vorschlag vom Kuratorium der WMF eingehen; die nominierten Kandidaten werden jedoch vom Führungskomitee des Vorstands dieser Gesellschaft nach eigenem Ermessen bestimmt. Bei der Nominierung strebt das Führungskomitee des Vorstands einen Vorstand an, der eine Vielfalt an geografischen Hintergründen, Rassen/Ethnien, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Altersgruppen, Ansichten und Interessen repräsentiert. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands beachtet außerdem die in Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels festgelegten Qualifikationsanforderungen für Direktoren. Ein für eine Nominierung in Betracht gezogener Direktor nimmt nicht an den Beratungen des Führungskomitee des Vorstands über seine Nominierung teil.

* '''B. Amtszeitbeschränkungen'''

Mit Ausnahme des Direktors als Gründer der Community kann ein Direktor maximal drei (3) Amtszeiten absolvieren. Danach kann er nicht mehr dem Vorstand angehören. Beträgt die anfängliche Amtszeit eines Direktors weniger als drei (3) Jahre, weil er für den Rest der Amtszeit eines anderen Direktors gewählt wurde, dessen Sitz aus irgendeinem Grund frei geworden ist, gilt diese anfängliche Amtszeit nicht als Amtszeit im Sinne dieser Amtszeitbeschränkung. Der Direktor als Gründer der Community kann unbegrenzt viele aufeinanderfolgende Amtszeiten ausüben.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_5:_Vacancies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 5: Vakanzen ===

Eine Vakanz im Vorstand liegt vor, wenn die tatsächliche Anzahl der Vorstandsmitglieder aus irgendeinem Grund geringer ist als die zulässige Anzahl. Vakanzen können durch eine Zweidrittelmehrheit der verbleibenden Vorstandsmitglieder für den Rest der Amtszeit besetzt werden. Der Vorstand kann seine Geschäfte während der Vakanz einer Vorstandsposition oder während einer Zeit, in der die Zusammensetzung des Vorstands vorübergehend nicht mit Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels übereinstimmt, als Vorstand fortführen, wobei er angemessene Anstrengungen unternimmt, um Vakanzen nach Bedarf zu besetzen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_6:_Resignation_and_Removal&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 6: Rücktritt und Abberufung ===

Rücktritte werden mit dem schriftlichen Eingang beim Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), dem Präsidenten, dem Schriftführer oder dem Vorstand dieser Gesellschaft wirksam, sofern im Rücktritt kein späterer Zeitpunkt angegeben ist. Die Mehrheit der jeweils amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder kann jedes Vorstandsmitglied jederzeit mit oder ohne Angabe von Gründen abberufen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_7:_Regular_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

(a) bei ordentlichen Sitzungen mindestens zwei Wochen vor der jeweiligen Sitzung; und

(b) bei Sondersitzungen mindestens vier Tage vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie per erstklassiger Post übermittelt wird, bzw. achtundvierzig Stunden vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie persönlich oder telefonisch, einschließlich eines Sprachnachrichtensystems, oder durch andere elektronische Übermittlungswege wie E-Mail übermittelt wird, in Übereinstimmung mit Artikel IX, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_10:_Waiver_of_Notice&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 10: Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung ===

Die Beschlüsse einer Vorstandssitzung, unabhängig von Einberufung, Bekanntmachung und Veranstaltungsort, gelten als in einer ordnungsgemäß einberufenen und bekanntgemachten Sitzung gefasst, sofern die Beschlussfähigkeit gegeben ist und jedes nicht anwesende Vorstandsmitglied vor oder nach der Sitzung schriftlich auf die Bekanntmachung verzichtet, der Abhaltung der Sitzung zustimmt oder das Protokoll genehmigt. Der Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung oder die Zustimmung muss den Zweck der Sitzung nicht benennen. Alle Verzichtserklärungen, Zustimmungen und Genehmigungen sind zu den Unterlagen der Gesellschaft zu nehmen oder werden Teil des Sitzungsprotokolls. Die Bekanntmachung gilt auch für Vorstandsmitglieder, die an der Sitzung teilnehmen, ohne gegen die fehlende Bekanntmachung vor oder zu Beginn der Sitzung Einspruch zu erheben, als erfolgt.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_11:_Quorum&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 11: Quorum ===

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden darf das erforderliche Quorum in keinem Fall weniger als ein Fünftel der autorisierten Anzahl von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder zwei Vorstandsmitglieder betragen, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist. Bei einer Sitzung, bei der ein Quorum vorhanden ist, stellt die Entscheidung des Vorstands die Entscheidung von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder der Mehrheit der bei einer solchen Sitzung anwesenden Vorstandsmitglieder, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, dar, sofern in Artikel III, Abschnitt 4 (Wahl von Direktoren), Abschnitt 5 (Besetzung von Vorstandsposten), Abschnitt 6 (Abberufung von Direktoren) und Abschnitt 12 (Maßnahmen ohne Sitzung) nichts anderes bestimmt ist; Artikel IV, Abschnitt 1 (Ernennung von Vorstandskomitees); Artikel VI, Abschnitt 3 (Genehmigung von Eigengeschäften); Artikel VII, Abschnitt 2 (Genehmigung von Entschädigungen); und Artikel IX, Abschnitt 6 (Änderung der Satzung) dieser Satzung oder im California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law nicht anders angegeben. Eine Sitzung, bei der zunächst ein Quorum anwesend ist, kann ungeachtet des Rücktritts von Vorstandsmitgliedern weiterhin Geschäfte abwickeln, wenn die ergriffenen Maßnahmen von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder einer Mehrheit des für die Sitzung erforderlichen Quorums, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, genehmigt werden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_12:_Action_Without_a_Meeting&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 12: Maßnahmen ohne eine Sitzung ===

Jede vom Vorstand geforderte oder genehmigte Maßnahme kann ohne Sitzung getroffen werden, wenn alle Vorstandsmitglieder einzeln oder gemeinsam schriftlich zustimmen. Diese schriftlichen Zustimmungen werden dem Sitzungsprotokoll beigefügt und haben die gleiche Wirkung wie einstimmige Beschlussfassungen der Vorstandsmitglieder.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_13:_Telephone_and_Electronic_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_14:_Standard_of_Care&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 14: Sorgfaltspflicht ===

&lt;span id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Allgemein ====

Ein Vorstandsmitglied muss die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds, einschließlich der Pflichten als Mitglied eines Komitees des Vorstands, in dem das Vorstandsmitglied tätig sein kann, mit guten Absichten und in einer Weise erfüllen, die das Vorstandsmitglied für das beste Interesse dieser Gesellschaft hält, und mit der gleichen Sorgfalt, einschließlich angemessener Nachforschungen, wie sie eine normalerweise umsichtige Person in einer ähnlichen Situation unter ähnlichen Umständen walten lassen würde.

Bei der Wahrnehmung seiner Aufgaben als Vorstandsmitglied ist ein Vorstandsmitglied berechtigt, sich auf Informationen, Meinungen, Berichte oder Erklärungen, einschließlich Jahresabschlüssen und anderen Finanzdaten, zu stützen, die jeweils erstellt oder vorgelegt werden von:

(i) einem oder mehreren leitenden Angestellten oder Mitarbeitern dieser Gesellschaft, die das Vorstandsmitglied hinsichtlich der vorgelegten Angelegenheiten für zuverlässig und kompetent hält;

(ii) Beratern, unabhängigen Wirtschaftsprüfern oder anderen Personen in Angelegenheiten, die nach Ansicht des Vorstandsmitglieds in den beruflichen oder fachlichen Zuständigkeitsbereich dieser Personen fallen; oder

(iii) einem Komitee, dem das Vorstandsmitglied nicht angehört und das sich ausschließlich aus einer Kombination von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder Personen zusammensetzt, die in (i) oder (ii) beschrieben sind, hinsichtlich der Angelegenheiten, die in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Komitees fallen, vorausgesetzt, dass das Vorstandsmitglied der Ansicht ist, dass ein solches Komitee Vertrauen verdient;

solange das Vorstandsmitglied in einem solchen Fall nach angemessener Prüfung mit guten Absichten handelt, wenn die Umstände dies erfordern und er keine Kenntnisse hat, die ein solches Vertrauen ungerechtfertigt erscheinen lassen.

Sofern in Artikel VI unten nichts anderes bestimmt ist, haftet eine Person, die die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds gemäß diesem Abschnitt wahrnimmt, nicht aufgrund einer Nichterfüllung oder angeblichen Nichterfüllung ihrer Pflichten als Vorstandsmitglied. Dies gilt insbesondere, ohne die Allgemeingültigkeit des Vorgenannten einzuschränken, für Handlungen oder Unterlassungen, die über einen öffentlichen oder wohltätigen Zweck hinausgehen oder diesen zunichtemachen, dem eine Gesellschaft oder die von ihr gehaltenen Vermögenswerte gewidmet sind.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_15:_Investments&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 15: Investitionen ===

Mit Ausnahme der Vermögenswerte, die für die Durchführung öffentlicher oder gemeinnütziger Aktivitäten dieser Gesellschaft gehalten oder direkt verwendet werden, muss der Vorstand bei der Verwaltung und Anlage der Investitionen dieser Gesellschaft die in Absatz A oben dargelegten Standards einhalten und sowohl die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft berücksichtigen als auch:

(i) die allgemeine Wirtschaftslage;

(ii) die möglichen Auswirkungen von Inflation oder Deflation;

(iii) die etwaigen voraussichtlichen steuerlichen Folgen von Anlageentscheidungen oder -strategien;

(iv) die Rolle, die jede Investition oder Maßnahme innerhalb des Gesamtportfolios spielt;

(v) die erwartete Gesamtrendite aus Erträgen und Wertsteigerungen der Anlagen;

(vi) die sonstigen Mittel dieser Gesellschaft;

(vii) die Notwendigkeit dieser Gesellschaft, Ausschüttungen vorzunehmen und Kapital zu erhalten; und

(viii) die besondere Beziehung oder den besonderen Wert eines Vermögenswerts im Hinblick auf die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft, sofern vorhanden.

Entscheidungen des Vorstands über eine einzelne Investition dürfen nicht isoliert getroffen werden, sondern müssen im Kontext des gesamten Investitionsportfolios der Gesellschaft und als Teil einer Gesamtinvestitionsstrategie erfolgen, deren Risiko- und Renditeziele für die Gesellschaft angemessen sind.

Der Vorstand delegiert diese Anlageentscheidungen und die Verwaltung seiner Anlagefonds an das Anlagekomitee dieser Gesellschaft (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung).

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden verstößt keine Investition gegen diesen Abschnitt, wenn sie entweder der in einer Schenkungsurkunde zum Ausdruck gebrachten Absicht des Schenkers oder den Bestimmungen einer Urkunde oder Vereinbarung entspricht, die eine solche Investition genehmigen und auf deren Grundlage die Vermögenswerte dieser Gesellschaft zugesprochen wurden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_16._Inspection&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 16. Inspektion ===

Jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat das uneingeschränkte Recht, zu jedem angemessenen Zeitpunkt sämtliche Bücher, Aufzeichnungen und Dokumente einzusehen und Kopien anzufertigen sowie das physische Eigentum dieser Gesellschaft zu prüfen.

=== Abschnitt 17. Überprüfung der Vergütung der Führungskräfte ===

Für den Fall, dass diese Gesellschaft den Präsidenten bzw. den Geschäftsführer und den Schatzmeister bzw. den Finanzdirektor einstellt oder anderweitig entlohnt, überprüft der Vorstand (oder ein Komitee des Vorstands) sämtliche Vergütungspakete (einschließlich aller Nebenleistungen) des Präsidenten bzw. des Geschäftsführers und des Schatzmeisters bzw. des Finanzdirektors, unabhängig von der Berufsbezeichnung, und genehmigt diese Vergütung erst, nachdem er festgestellt hat, dass sie gerecht und angemessen ist. Diese Überprüfung und Genehmigung erfolgt bei der Einstellung der jeweiligen Führungskraft, bei der Verlängerung ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses und bei der Änderung ihrer Vergütung, es sei denn, die Änderung betrifft im Wesentlichen alle Mitarbeiter dieses Unternehmens.

=== Abschnitt 1. Befugnisse ===

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_2._Number_of_Directors;_Qualifications_and_Composition_of_the_Board&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 2. Anzahl der Direktoren; Qualifikationen und Zusammensetzung des Vorstands ===

Die Anzahl der Direktoren beträgt mindestens sieben (7) und höchstens fünfzehn (15). Die genaue Anzahl wird von Zeit zu Zeit durch Beschluss des Vorstands festgelegt. Personen, die derzeit bei der Wikimedia Foundation, einer gemeinnützigen Gesellschaft in Florida (&quot;WMF&quot;), beschäftigt sind oder anderweitig von ihr vergütet werden, sind nicht berechtigt, als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft zu fungieren. Der Vorstand besteht aus folgenden Sitzen:

(a) Ein Sitz wird von Jimmy Wales gehalten. Dieser Direktorensitz wird als &quot;Direktor als Gründer der Community&quot; bezeichnet, solange Herr Wales ihn innehat. Sollte Herr Wales zu irgendeinem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr im Vorstand tätig sein, wird dieser Sitz automatisch in einen allgemeinen Direktorensitz umgewandelt, wie unten in Absatz (c) dieses Abschnitts 2 definiert, und gemäß den Anforderungen dieses Absatzes besetzt.

(b) Mindestens ein Teil der Gesamtzahl der autorisierten Direktoren muss aus Community-Sitzen bestehen. Diese sind für Personen reserviert, die (i) zuvor als Direktoren der WMF tätig waren und (ii) die Perspektiven der Wikimedia-Community einbringen können. Diese Direktorensitze werden als &quot;Community-Direktoren&quot; bezeichnet. Die Mindest- und Höchstzahl der Community-Direktoren wird wie folgt definiert:

# Ein Vorstand aus sieben bis neun (9) Mitgliedern muss mindestens einen Community-Direktor haben, aber nicht mehr als zwei.
# Ein Vorstand aus zehn (10) bis dreizehn (13) Mitgliedern muss mindestens zwei Community-Direktor haben, aber nicht mehr als drei.
# Ein Vorstand aus vierzehn (14) oder 15 Mitgliedern muss drei Community-Direktor haben.

(c) Die übrigen Sitze sollen mit Personen besetzt werden, die über Expertise im Bereich Spendensammlung und/oder Finanzwesen verfügen. Bei der Wahl dieser Direktoren berücksichtigt der Vorstand auch, ob der Kandidat eine oder mehrere der folgenden Eigenschaften zur Zusammensetzung des Vorstands beiträgt: Leidenschaft für freies Wissen; Fähigkeit, einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Arbeit des Vorstands zu leisten; Engagement für Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion. Diese Direktorensitze werden als &quot;Allgemeine Direktoren&quot; bezeichnet.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_3:_Limitations_on_Interested_Persons&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 3: Beschränkungen für interessierte Personen ===

Zu jeder Zeit dürfen nicht mehr als fünfzehn Prozent (15 %) der Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft interessierte Personen sein. Eine interessierte Person ist entweder:

jede Person, die derzeit von dieser Gesellschaft für in den letzten zwölf Monaten erbrachte Leistungen entschädigt wird, sei es als Vollzeit- oder Teilzeitangestellter, unabhängiger Auftragnehmer oder auf andere Weise, mit Ausnahme einer angemessenen Vergütung, die einem Direktor in seiner Funktion als Direktor gezahlt wird; oder jeder Bruder, jede Schwester, jeder Vorfahre, jeder Nachkomme, Ehegatte, Schwager, Schwägerin, Schwiegersohn, Schwiegertochter, Schwiegermutter oder Schwiegervater einer solchen Person.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_4:_Nominations;_Election_and_Term_of_Office_of_Directors&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 4: Nominierungen, Wahl und Amtszeit der Direktoren ===

Die jeweils amtierenden Direktoren wählen ihre Nachfolger. Diese müssen von mindestens zwei Dritteln der amtierenden Direktoren bestätigt werden. Die Wahl der Direktoren erfolgt aus den nominierten Kandidaten, die gemäß den unten beschriebenen Verfahren nominiert wurden. Die Amtszeit jedes Direktors beträgt drei (3) Jahre, vorbehaltlich der unten beschriebenen Amtszeitbeschränkungen. Jeder Direktor bleibt bis zum Ablauf seiner Amtszeit, für die er gewählt wurde, und bis zur Wahl eines Nachfolgers im Amt.

* '''A. Nominierungsverfahren'''

Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 6 dieser Satzung) ist für die Nominierung von Kandidaten für die Wahl oder Wiederwahl als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands berät sich mit dem Kuratorium der WMF über alle vorgeschlagenen Nominierungen und berücksichtigt alle Stellungnahmen, die innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach einem solchen Vorschlag vom Kuratorium der WMF eingehen; die nominierten Kandidaten werden jedoch vom Führungskomitee des Vorstands dieser Gesellschaft nach eigenem Ermessen bestimmt. Bei der Nominierung strebt das Führungskomitee des Vorstands einen Vorstand an, der eine Vielfalt an geografischen Hintergründen, Rassen/Ethnien, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Altersgruppen, Ansichten und Interessen repräsentiert. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands beachtet außerdem die in Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels festgelegten Qualifikationsanforderungen für Direktoren. Ein für eine Nominierung in Betracht gezogener Direktor nimmt nicht an den Beratungen des Führungskomitee des Vorstands über seine Nominierung teil.

* '''B. Amtszeitbeschränkungen'''

Mit Ausnahme des Direktors als Gründer der Community kann ein Direktor maximal drei (3) Amtszeiten absolvieren. Danach kann er nicht mehr dem Vorstand angehören. Beträgt die anfängliche Amtszeit eines Direktors weniger als drei (3) Jahre, weil er für den Rest der Amtszeit eines anderen Direktors gewählt wurde, dessen Sitz aus irgendeinem Grund frei geworden ist, gilt diese anfängliche Amtszeit nicht als Amtszeit im Sinne dieser Amtszeitbeschränkung. Der Direktor als Gründer der Community kann unbegrenzt viele aufeinanderfolgende Amtszeiten ausüben.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_5:_Vacancies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 5: Vakanzen ===

Eine Vakanz im Vorstand liegt vor, wenn die tatsächliche Anzahl der Vorstandsmitglieder aus irgendeinem Grund geringer ist als die zulässige Anzahl. Vakanzen können durch eine Zweidrittelmehrheit der verbleibenden Vorstandsmitglieder für den Rest der Amtszeit besetzt werden. Der Vorstand kann seine Geschäfte während der Vakanz einer Vorstandsposition oder während einer Zeit, in der die Zusammensetzung des Vorstands vorübergehend nicht mit Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels übereinstimmt, als Vorstand fortführen, wobei er angemessene Anstrengungen unternimmt, um Vakanzen nach Bedarf zu besetzen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_6:_Resignation_and_Removal&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 6: Rücktritt und Abberufung ===

Rücktritte werden mit dem schriftlichen Eingang beim Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), dem Präsidenten, dem Schriftführer oder dem Vorstand dieser Gesellschaft wirksam, sofern im Rücktritt kein späterer Zeitpunkt angegeben ist. Die Mehrheit der jeweils amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder kann jedes Vorstandsmitglied jederzeit mit oder ohne Angabe von Gründen abberufen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_7:_Regular_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 7: Regelmäßige Sitzungen ===

Regelmäßige Vorstandssitzungen finden mindestens zweimal jährlich statt. Die Einberufung erfolgt durch den Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), den Präsidenten oder zwei beliebige Vorstandsmitglieder. Die Bekanntmachung erfolgt gemäß Abschnitt 9 dieses Artikels.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_8:_Special_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 8: Sondersitzungen ===

Sondersitzungen des Vorstands werden durch den Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), den Präsidenten oder zwei beliebige Vorstandsmitglieder einberufen. Die Bekanntmachung erfolgt gemäß Abschnitt 9 dieses Artikels.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_9:_Notice&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 9: Bekanntmachung ===

In der Bekanntmachung einer Vorstandssitzung sind Datum, Ort und Uhrzeit der Sitzung anzugeben. Die Bekanntmachung ist jedem Vorstandsmitglied wie folgt zu übermitteln:

(a) bei ordentlichen Sitzungen mindestens zwei Wochen vor der jeweiligen Sitzung; und

(b) bei Sondersitzungen mindestens vier Tage vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie per erstklassiger Post übermittelt wird, bzw. achtundvierzig Stunden vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie persönlich oder telefonisch, einschließlich eines Sprachnachrichtensystems, oder durch andere elektronische Übermittlungswege wie E-Mail übermittelt wird, in Übereinstimmung mit Artikel IX, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_10:_Waiver_of_Notice&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 10: Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung ===

Die Beschlüsse einer Vorstandssitzung, unabhängig von Einberufung, Bekanntmachung und Veranstaltungsort, gelten als in einer ordnungsgemäß einberufenen und bekanntgemachten Sitzung gefasst, sofern die Beschlussfähigkeit gegeben ist und jedes nicht anwesende Vorstandsmitglied vor oder nach der Sitzung schriftlich auf die Bekanntmachung verzichtet, der Abhaltung der Sitzung zustimmt oder das Protokoll genehmigt. Der Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung oder die Zustimmung muss den Zweck der Sitzung nicht benennen. Alle Verzichtserklärungen, Zustimmungen und Genehmigungen sind zu den Unterlagen der Gesellschaft zu nehmen oder werden Teil des Sitzungsprotokolls. Die Bekanntmachung gilt auch für Vorstandsmitglieder, die an der Sitzung teilnehmen, ohne gegen die fehlende Bekanntmachung vor oder zu Beginn der Sitzung Einspruch zu erheben, als erfolgt.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_11:_Quorum&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 11: Quorum ===

Mindestens fünf (5) Vorstandsmitglieder oder die Mehrheit der Gesamtzahl der zu diesem Zeitpunkt amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, stellen ein Quorum dar. Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden darf das erforderliche Quorum in keinem Fall weniger als ein Fünftel der autorisierten Anzahl von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder zwei Vorstandsmitglieder betragen, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist. Bei einer Sitzung, bei der ein Quorum vorhanden ist, stellt die Entscheidung des Vorstands die Entscheidung von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder der Mehrheit der bei einer solchen Sitzung anwesenden Vorstandsmitglieder, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, dar, sofern in Artikel III, Abschnitt 4 (Wahl von Direktoren), Abschnitt 5 (Besetzung von Vorstandsposten), Abschnitt 6 (Abberufung von Direktoren) und Abschnitt 12 (Maßnahmen ohne Sitzung) nichts anderes bestimmt ist; Artikel IV, Abschnitt 1 (Ernennung von Vorstandskomitees); Artikel VI, Abschnitt 3 (Genehmigung von Eigengeschäften); Artikel VII, Abschnitt 2 (Genehmigung von Entschädigungen); und Artikel IX, Abschnitt 6 (Änderung der Satzung) dieser Satzung oder im California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law nicht anders angegeben. Eine Sitzung, bei der zunächst ein Quorum anwesend ist, kann ungeachtet des Rücktritts von Vorstandsmitgliedern weiterhin Geschäfte abwickeln, wenn die ergriffenen Maßnahmen von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder einer Mehrheit des für die Sitzung erforderlichen Quorums, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, genehmigt werden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_12:_Action_Without_a_Meeting&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 12: Maßnahmen ohne eine Sitzung ===

Jede vom Vorstand geforderte oder genehmigte Maßnahme kann ohne Sitzung getroffen werden, wenn alle Vorstandsmitglieder einzeln oder gemeinsam schriftlich zustimmen. Diese schriftlichen Zustimmungen werden dem Sitzungsprotokoll beigefügt und haben die gleiche Wirkung wie einstimmige Beschlussfassungen der Vorstandsmitglieder.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_13:_Telephone_and_Electronic_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 13: Telefonische und elektronische Sitzungen ===

Vorstandsmitglieder können unter Einhaltung von Artikel IX, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung per Telefonkonferenz, elektronischer Videobildschirmkommunikation oder anderen elektronischen Übertragungsmitteln an einer Sitzung teilnehmen, sofern alle der folgenden Punkte zutreffen:

(a) jedes an der Sitzung teilnehmende Vorstandsmitglied kann mit allen anderen Vorstandsmitgliedern gleichzeitig kommunizieren; und

(b) jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat die Möglichkeit, an allen Angelegenheiten des Vorstands teilzunehmen, einschließlich der Befugnis, eine bestimmte von dieser Gesellschaft zu ergreifende Maßnahme vorzuschlagen oder Einspruch dagegen einzulegen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_14:_Standard_of_Care&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 14: Sorgfaltspflicht ===

&lt;span id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Allgemein ====

Ein Vorstandsmitglied muss die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds, einschließlich der Pflichten als Mitglied eines Komitees des Vorstands, in dem das Vorstandsmitglied tätig sein kann, mit guten Absichten und in einer Weise erfüllen, die das Vorstandsmitglied für das beste Interesse dieser Gesellschaft hält, und mit der gleichen Sorgfalt, einschließlich angemessener Nachforschungen, wie sie eine normalerweise umsichtige Person in einer ähnlichen Situation unter ähnlichen Umständen walten lassen würde.

Bei der Wahrnehmung seiner Aufgaben als Vorstandsmitglied ist ein Vorstandsmitglied berechtigt, sich auf Informationen, Meinungen, Berichte oder Erklärungen, einschließlich Jahresabschlüssen und anderen Finanzdaten, zu stützen, die jeweils erstellt oder vorgelegt werden von:

(i) einem oder mehreren leitenden Angestellten oder Mitarbeitern dieser Gesellschaft, die das Vorstandsmitglied hinsichtlich der vorgelegten Angelegenheiten für zuverlässig und kompetent hält;

(ii) Beratern, unabhängigen Wirtschaftsprüfern oder anderen Personen in Angelegenheiten, die nach Ansicht des Vorstandsmitglieds in den beruflichen oder fachlichen Zuständigkeitsbereich dieser Personen fallen; oder

(iii) einem Komitee, dem das Vorstandsmitglied nicht angehört und das sich ausschließlich aus einer Kombination von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder Personen zusammensetzt, die in (i) oder (ii) beschrieben sind, hinsichtlich der Angelegenheiten, die in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Komitees fallen, vorausgesetzt, dass das Vorstandsmitglied der Ansicht ist, dass ein solches Komitee Vertrauen verdient;

solange das Vorstandsmitglied in einem solchen Fall nach angemessener Prüfung mit guten Absichten handelt, wenn die Umstände dies erfordern und er keine Kenntnisse hat, die ein solches Vertrauen ungerechtfertigt erscheinen lassen.

Sofern in Artikel VI unten nichts anderes bestimmt ist, haftet eine Person, die die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds gemäß diesem Abschnitt wahrnimmt, nicht aufgrund einer Nichterfüllung oder angeblichen Nichterfüllung ihrer Pflichten als Vorstandsmitglied. Dies gilt insbesondere, ohne die Allgemeingültigkeit des Vorgenannten einzuschränken, für Handlungen oder Unterlassungen, die über einen öffentlichen oder wohltätigen Zweck hinausgehen oder diesen zunichtemachen, dem eine Gesellschaft oder die von ihr gehaltenen Vermögenswerte gewidmet sind.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_15:_Investments&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 15: Investitionen ===

Mit Ausnahme der Vermögenswerte, die für die Durchführung öffentlicher oder gemeinnütziger Aktivitäten dieser Gesellschaft gehalten oder direkt verwendet werden, muss der Vorstand bei der Verwaltung und Anlage der Investitionen dieser Gesellschaft die in Absatz A oben dargelegten Standards einhalten und sowohl die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft berücksichtigen als auch:

(i) die allgemeine Wirtschaftslage;

(ii) die möglichen Auswirkungen von Inflation oder Deflation;

(iii) die etwaigen voraussichtlichen steuerlichen Folgen von Anlageentscheidungen oder -strategien;

(iv) die Rolle, die jede Investition oder Maßnahme innerhalb des Gesamtportfolios spielt;

(v) die erwartete Gesamtrendite aus Erträgen und Wertsteigerungen der Anlagen;

(vi) die sonstigen Mittel dieser Gesellschaft;

(vii) die Notwendigkeit dieser Gesellschaft, Ausschüttungen vorzunehmen und Kapital zu erhalten; und

(viii) die besondere Beziehung oder den besonderen Wert eines Vermögenswerts im Hinblick auf die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft, sofern vorhanden.

Entscheidungen des Vorstands über eine einzelne Investition dürfen nicht isoliert getroffen werden, sondern müssen im Kontext des gesamten Investitionsportfolios der Gesellschaft und als Teil einer Gesamtinvestitionsstrategie erfolgen, deren Risiko- und Renditeziele für die Gesellschaft angemessen sind.

Der Vorstand delegiert diese Anlageentscheidungen und die Verwaltung seiner Anlagefonds an das Anlagekomitee dieser Gesellschaft (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung).

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden verstößt keine Investition gegen diesen Abschnitt, wenn sie entweder der in einer Schenkungsurkunde zum Ausdruck gebrachten Absicht des Schenkers oder den Bestimmungen einer Urkunde oder Vereinbarung entspricht, die eine solche Investition genehmigen und auf deren Grundlage die Vermögenswerte dieser Gesellschaft zugesprochen wurden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_16._Inspection&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 16. Inspektion ===

Jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat das uneingeschränkte Recht, zu jedem angemessenen Zeitpunkt sämtliche Bücher, Aufzeichnungen und Dokumente einzusehen und Kopien anzufertigen sowie das physische Eigentum dieser Gesellschaft zu prüfen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_17._Executive_Compensation_Review&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 17. Überprüfung der Vergütung der Führungskräfte ===

Für den Fall, dass diese Gesellschaft den Präsidenten bzw. den Geschäftsführer und den Schatzmeister bzw. den Finanzdirektor einstellt oder anderweitig entlohnt, überprüft der Vorstand (oder ein Komitee des Vorstands) sämtliche Vergütungspakete (einschließlich aller Nebenleistungen) des Präsidenten bzw. des Geschäftsführers und des Schatzmeisters bzw. des Finanzdirektors, unabhängig von der Berufsbezeichnung, und genehmigt diese Vergütung erst, nachdem er festgestellt hat, dass sie gerecht und angemessen ist. Diese Überprüfung und Genehmigung erfolgt bei der Einstellung der jeweiligen Führungskraft, bei der Verlängerung ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses und bei der Änderung ihrer Vergütung, es sei denn, die Änderung betrifft im Wesentlichen alle Mitarbeiter dieses Unternehmens.

&lt;span id=&quot;ARTICLE_IV:_COMMITTEES&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ARTIKEL IV: KOMITEES ==

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_1._Board_Committees&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 1. Komitees des Vorstands ===

Der Vorstand kann durch Beschluss der Mehrheit der amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder beliebig viele Komitees des Vorstands bilden, die jeweils aus zwei oder mehr Vorstandsmitgliedern bestehen und nach Ermessen des Vorstands tätig sind. Die Ernennung in Komitees des Vorstands erfolgt durch Mehrheitsbeschluss der amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder. Komitees des Vorstands können mit allen Befugnissen des Vorstands ausgestattet werden, mit Ausnahme der Befugnisse:

(a) die Anzahl der Vorstandsmitglieder innerhalb eines in dieser Satzung festgelegten Rahmens festzulegen;

(b) Vorstandsmitglieder ohne Angabe von Gründen zu wählen oder zu entlassen;

(c) freie Stellen im Vorstand oder in einem Komitee des Vorstands zu besetzen;

(d) die Vergütung der Vorstandsmitglieder für ihre Tätigkeit im Vorstand oder in einem Komitee des Vorstands festzulegen;

(e) diese Satzung zu ändern oder aufzuheben oder eine neue Satzung zu verabschieden;

(f) Änderungen der Satzung dieser Gesellschaft zu beschließen;

(g) Beschlüsse des Vorstands zu ändern oder aufzuheben, die gemäß ihrem ausdrücklichen Wortlaut nicht geändert oder aufgehoben werden können;

(h) andere Komitees des Vorstands einzurichten oder die Mitglieder von Komitees des Vorstands zu ernennen; oder

(i) Fusionen, Umstrukturierungen, freiwillige Auflösungen oder Veräußerungen praktisch aller Vermögenswerte dieser Gesellschaft zu genehmigen.

Die Komitees des Vorstands erstatten dem gesamten Vorstand regelmäßig Bericht über ihre Tätigkeit.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_2._Advisory_Committees&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 2. Beratende Komitees ===

=== Abschnitt 4: Nominierungen, Wahl und Amtszeit der Direktoren ===

Die jeweils amtierenden Direktoren wählen ihre Nachfolger. Diese müssen von mindestens zwei Dritteln der amtierenden Direktoren bestätigt werden. Die Wahl der Direktoren erfolgt aus den nominierten Kandidaten, die gemäß den unten beschriebenen Verfahren nominiert wurden. Die Amtszeit jedes Direktors beträgt drei (3) Jahre, vorbehaltlich der unten beschriebenen Amtszeitbeschränkungen. Jeder Direktor bleibt bis zum Ablauf seiner Amtszeit, für die er gewählt wurde, und bis zur Wahl eines Nachfolgers im Amt.

* '''A. Nominierungsverfahren'''

Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 6 dieser Satzung) ist für die Nominierung von Kandidaten für die Wahl oder Wiederwahl als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands berät sich mit dem Kuratorium der WMF über alle vorgeschlagenen Nominierungen und berücksichtigt alle Stellungnahmen, die innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach einem solchen Vorschlag vom Kuratorium der WMF eingehen; die nominierten Kandidaten werden jedoch vom Führungskomitee des Vorstands dieser Gesellschaft nach eigenem Ermessen bestimmt. Bei der Nominierung strebt das Führungskomitee des Vorstands einen Vorstand an, der eine Vielfalt an geografischen Hintergründen, Rassen/Ethnien, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Altersgruppen, Ansichten und Interessen repräsentiert. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands beachtet außerdem die in Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels festgelegten Qualifikationsanforderungen für Direktoren. Ein für eine Nominierung in Betracht gezogener Direktor nimmt nicht an den Beratungen des Führungskomitee des Vorstands über seine Nominierung teil.

* '''B. Amtszeitbeschränkungen'''

Mit Ausnahme des Direktors als Gründer der Community kann ein Direktor maximal drei (3) Amtszeiten absolvieren. Danach kann er nicht mehr dem Vorstand angehören. Beträgt die anfängliche Amtszeit eines Direktors weniger als drei (3) Jahre, weil er für den Rest der Amtszeit eines anderen Direktors gewählt wurde, dessen Sitz aus irgendeinem Grund frei geworden ist, gilt diese anfängliche Amtszeit nicht als Amtszeit im Sinne dieser Amtszeitbeschränkung. Der Direktor als Gründer der Community kann unbegrenzt viele aufeinanderfolgende Amtszeiten ausüben.

Vakanzen können durch eine Zweidrittelmehrheit der verbleibenden Vorstandsmitglieder für den Rest der Amtszeit besetzt werden. Der Vorstand kann seine Geschäfte während der Vakanz einer Vorstandsposition oder während einer Zeit, in der die Zusammensetzung des Vorstands vorübergehend nicht mit Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels übereinstimmt, als Vorstand fortführen, wobei er angemessene Anstrengungen unternimmt, um Vakanzen nach Bedarf zu besetzen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_6:_Resignation_and_Removal&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

=== Abschnitt 10: Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung ===

Die Beschlüsse einer Vorstandssitzung, unabhängig von Einberufung, Bekanntmachung und Veranstaltungsort, gelten als in einer ordnungsgemäß einberufenen und bekanntgemachten Sitzung gefasst, sofern die Beschlussfähigkeit gegeben ist und jedes nicht anwesende Vorstandsmitglied vor oder nach der Sitzung schriftlich auf die Bekanntmachung verzichtet, der Abhaltung der Sitzung zustimmt oder das Protokoll genehmigt. Der Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung oder die Zustimmung muss den Zweck der Sitzung nicht benennen. Alle Verzichtserklärungen, Zustimmungen und Genehmigungen sind zu den Unterlagen der Gesellschaft zu nehmen oder werden Teil des Sitzungsprotokolls. Die Bekanntmachung gilt auch für Vorstandsmitglieder, die an der Sitzung teilnehmen, ohne gegen die fehlende Bekanntmachung vor oder zu Beginn der Sitzung Einspruch zu erheben, als erfolgt.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_12:_Action_Without_a_Meeting&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Jede vom Vorstand geforderte oder genehmigte Maßnahme kann ohne Sitzung getroffen werden, wenn alle Vorstandsmitglieder einzeln oder gemeinsam schriftlich zustimmen. Diese schriftlichen Zustimmungen werden dem Sitzungsprotokoll beigefügt und haben die gleiche Wirkung wie einstimmige Beschlussfassungen der Vorstandsmitglieder.

=== Abschnitt 14: Sorgfaltspflicht ===

&lt;span id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Allgemein ====

Ein Vorstandsmitglied muss die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds, einschließlich der Pflichten als Mitglied eines Komitees des Vorstands, in dem das Vorstandsmitglied tätig sein kann, mit guten Absichten und in einer Weise erfüllen, die das Vorstandsmitglied für das beste Interesse dieser Gesellschaft hält, und mit der gleichen Sorgfalt, einschließlich angemessener Nachforschungen, wie sie eine normalerweise umsichtige Person in einer ähnlichen Situation unter ähnlichen Umständen walten lassen würde.

Bei der Wahrnehmung seiner Aufgaben als Vorstandsmitglied ist ein Vorstandsmitglied berechtigt, sich auf Informationen, Meinungen, Berichte oder Erklärungen, einschließlich Jahresabschlüssen und anderen Finanzdaten, zu stützen, die jeweils erstellt oder vorgelegt werden von:

(i) einem oder mehreren leitenden Angestellten oder Mitarbeitern dieser Gesellschaft, die das Vorstandsmitglied hinsichtlich der vorgelegten Angelegenheiten für zuverlässig und kompetent hält;

(ii) Beratern, unabhängigen Wirtschaftsprüfern oder anderen Personen in Angelegenheiten, die nach Ansicht des Vorstandsmitglieds in den beruflichen oder fachlichen Zuständigkeitsbereich dieser Personen fallen; oder

(iii) einem Komitee, dem das Vorstandsmitglied nicht angehört und das sich ausschließlich aus einer Kombination von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder Personen zusammensetzt, die in (i) oder (ii) beschrieben sind, hinsichtlich der Angelegenheiten, die in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Komitees fallen, vorausgesetzt, dass das Vorstandsmitglied der Ansicht ist, dass ein solches Komitee Vertrauen verdient;

solange das Vorstandsmitglied in einem solchen Fall nach angemessener Prüfung mit guten Absichten handelt, wenn die Umstände dies erfordern und er keine Kenntnisse hat, die ein solches Vertrauen ungerechtfertigt erscheinen lassen.

Sofern in Artikel VI unten nichts anderes bestimmt ist, haftet eine Person, die die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds gemäß diesem Abschnitt wahrnimmt, nicht aufgrund einer Nichterfüllung oder angeblichen Nichterfüllung ihrer Pflichten als Vorstandsmitglied. Dies gilt insbesondere, ohne die Allgemeingültigkeit des Vorgenannten einzuschränken, für Handlungen oder Unterlassungen, die über einen öffentlichen oder wohltätigen Zweck hinausgehen oder diesen zunichtemachen, dem eine Gesellschaft oder die von ihr gehaltenen Vermögenswerte gewidmet sind.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_15:_Investments&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 15: Investitionen ===

Mit Ausnahme der Vermögenswerte, die für die Durchführung öffentlicher oder gemeinnütziger Aktivitäten dieser Gesellschaft gehalten oder direkt verwendet werden, muss der Vorstand bei der Verwaltung und Anlage der Investitionen dieser Gesellschaft die in Absatz A oben dargelegten Standards einhalten und sowohl die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft berücksichtigen als auch:

(i) die allgemeine Wirtschaftslage;

(ii) die möglichen Auswirkungen von Inflation oder Deflation;

(iii) die etwaigen voraussichtlichen steuerlichen Folgen von Anlageentscheidungen oder -strategien;

(iv) die Rolle, die jede Investition oder Maßnahme innerhalb des Gesamtportfolios spielt;

(v) die erwartete Gesamtrendite aus Erträgen und Wertsteigerungen der Anlagen;

(vi) die sonstigen Mittel dieser Gesellschaft;

(vii) die Notwendigkeit dieser Gesellschaft, Ausschüttungen vorzunehmen und Kapital zu erhalten; und

(viii) die besondere Beziehung oder den besonderen Wert eines Vermögenswerts im Hinblick auf die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft, sofern vorhanden.

Entscheidungen des Vorstands über eine einzelne Investition dürfen nicht isoliert getroffen werden, sondern müssen im Kontext des gesamten Investitionsportfolios der Gesellschaft und als Teil einer Gesamtinvestitionsstrategie erfolgen, deren Risiko- und Renditeziele für die Gesellschaft angemessen sind.

Der Vorstand delegiert diese Anlageentscheidungen und die Verwaltung seiner Anlagefonds an das Anlagekomitee dieser Gesellschaft (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung).

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden verstößt keine Investition gegen diesen Abschnitt, wenn sie entweder der in einer Schenkungsurkunde zum Ausdruck gebrachten Absicht des Schenkers oder den Bestimmungen einer Urkunde oder Vereinbarung entspricht, die eine solche Investition genehmigen und auf deren Grundlage die Vermögenswerte dieser Gesellschaft zugesprochen wurden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_16._Inspection&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 16. Inspektion ===

Jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat das uneingeschränkte Recht, zu jedem angemessenen Zeitpunkt sämtliche Bücher, Aufzeichnungen und Dokumente einzusehen und Kopien anzufertigen sowie das physische Eigentum dieser Gesellschaft zu prüfen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_17._Executive_Compensation_Review&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 17. Überprüfung der Vergütung der Führungskräfte ===

Für den Fall, dass diese Gesellschaft den Präsidenten bzw. den Geschäftsführer und den Schatzmeister bzw. den Finanzdirektor einstellt oder anderweitig entlohnt, überprüft der Vorstand (oder ein Komitee des Vorstands) sämtliche Vergütungspakete (einschließlich aller Nebenleistungen) des Präsidenten bzw. des Geschäftsführers und des Schatzmeisters bzw. des Finanzdirektors, unabhängig von der Berufsbezeichnung, und genehmigt diese Vergütung erst, nachdem er festgestellt hat, dass sie gerecht und angemessen ist. Diese Überprüfung und Genehmigung erfolgt bei der Einstellung der jeweiligen Führungskraft, bei der Verlängerung ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses und bei der Änderung ihrer Vergütung, es sei denn, die Änderung betrifft im Wesentlichen alle Mitarbeiter dieses Unternehmens.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_1._Powers&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 1. Befugnisse ===

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_2._Number_of_Directors;_Qualifications_and_Composition_of_the_Board&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 2. Anzahl der Direktoren; Qualifikationen und Zusammensetzung des Vorstands ===

Die Anzahl der Direktoren beträgt mindestens sieben (7) und höchstens fünfzehn (15). Die genaue Anzahl wird von Zeit zu Zeit durch Beschluss des Vorstands festgelegt. Personen, die derzeit bei der Wikimedia Foundation, einer gemeinnützigen Gesellschaft in Florida (&quot;WMF&quot;), beschäftigt sind oder anderweitig von ihr vergütet werden, sind nicht berechtigt, als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft zu fungieren. Der Vorstand besteht aus folgenden Sitzen:

(a) Ein Sitz wird von Jimmy Wales gehalten. Dieser Direktorensitz wird als &quot;Direktor als Gründer der Community&quot; bezeichnet, solange Herr Wales ihn innehat. Sollte Herr Wales zu irgendeinem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr im Vorstand tätig sein, wird dieser Sitz automatisch in einen allgemeinen Direktorensitz umgewandelt, wie unten in Absatz (c) dieses Abschnitts 2 definiert, und gemäß den Anforderungen dieses Absatzes besetzt.

(b) Mindestens ein Teil der Gesamtzahl der autorisierten Direktoren muss aus Community-Sitzen bestehen. Diese sind für Personen reserviert, die (i) zuvor als Direktoren der WMF tätig waren und (ii) die Perspektiven der Wikimedia-Community einbringen können. Diese Direktorensitze werden als &quot;Community-Direktoren&quot; bezeichnet. Die Mindest- und Höchstzahl der Community-Direktoren wird wie folgt definiert:

# Ein Vorstand aus sieben bis neun (9) Mitgliedern muss mindestens einen Community-Direktor haben, aber nicht mehr als zwei.
# Ein Vorstand aus zehn (10) bis dreizehn (13) Mitgliedern muss mindestens zwei Community-Direktor haben, aber nicht mehr als drei.
# Ein Vorstand aus vierzehn (14) oder 15 Mitgliedern muss drei Community-Direktor haben.

(c) Die übrigen Sitze sollen mit Personen besetzt werden, die über Expertise im Bereich Spendensammlung und/oder Finanzwesen verfügen. Bei der Wahl dieser Direktoren berücksichtigt der Vorstand auch, ob der Kandidat eine oder mehrere der folgenden Eigenschaften zur Zusammensetzung des Vorstands beiträgt: Leidenschaft für freies Wissen; Fähigkeit, einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Arbeit des Vorstands zu leisten; Engagement für Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion. Diese Direktorensitze werden als &quot;Allgemeine Direktoren&quot; bezeichnet.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_3:_Limitations_on_Interested_Persons&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 3: Beschränkungen für interessierte Personen ===

Zu jeder Zeit dürfen nicht mehr als fünfzehn Prozent (15 %) der Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft interessierte Personen sein. Eine interessierte Person ist entweder:

jede Person, die derzeit von dieser Gesellschaft für in den letzten zwölf Monaten erbrachte Leistungen entschädigt wird, sei es als Vollzeit- oder Teilzeitangestellter, unabhängiger Auftragnehmer oder auf andere Weise, mit Ausnahme einer angemessenen Vergütung, die einem Direktor in seiner Funktion als Direktor gezahlt wird; oder jeder Bruder, jede Schwester, jeder Vorfahre, jeder Nachkomme, Ehegatte, Schwager, Schwägerin, Schwiegersohn, Schwiegertochter, Schwiegermutter oder Schwiegervater einer solchen Person.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_4:_Nominations;_Election_and_Term_of_Office_of_Directors&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 4: Nominierungen, Wahl und Amtszeit der Direktoren ===

Die jeweils amtierenden Direktoren wählen ihre Nachfolger. Diese müssen von mindestens zwei Dritteln der amtierenden Direktoren bestätigt werden. Die Wahl der Direktoren erfolgt aus den nominierten Kandidaten, die gemäß den unten beschriebenen Verfahren nominiert wurden. Die Amtszeit jedes Direktors beträgt drei (3) Jahre, vorbehaltlich der unten beschriebenen Amtszeitbeschränkungen. Jeder Direktor bleibt bis zum Ablauf seiner Amtszeit, für die er gewählt wurde, und bis zur Wahl eines Nachfolgers im Amt.

* '''A. Nominierungsverfahren'''

Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 6 dieser Satzung) ist für die Nominierung von Kandidaten für die Wahl oder Wiederwahl als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands berät sich mit dem Kuratorium der WMF über alle vorgeschlagenen Nominierungen und berücksichtigt alle Stellungnahmen, die innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach einem solchen Vorschlag vom Kuratorium der WMF eingehen; die nominierten Kandidaten werden jedoch vom Führungskomitee des Vorstands dieser Gesellschaft nach eigenem Ermessen bestimmt. Bei der Nominierung strebt das Führungskomitee des Vorstands einen Vorstand an, der eine Vielfalt an geografischen Hintergründen, Rassen/Ethnien, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Altersgruppen, Ansichten und Interessen repräsentiert. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands beachtet außerdem die in Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels festgelegten Qualifikationsanforderungen für Direktoren. Ein für eine Nominierung in Betracht gezogener Direktor nimmt nicht an den Beratungen des Führungskomitee des Vorstands über seine Nominierung teil.

* '''B. Amtszeitbeschränkungen'''

Mit Ausnahme des Direktors als Gründer der Community kann ein Direktor maximal drei (3) Amtszeiten absolvieren. Danach kann er nicht mehr dem Vorstand angehören. Beträgt die anfängliche Amtszeit eines Direktors weniger als drei (3) Jahre, weil er für den Rest der Amtszeit eines anderen Direktors gewählt wurde, dessen Sitz aus irgendeinem Grund frei geworden ist, gilt diese anfängliche Amtszeit nicht als Amtszeit im Sinne dieser Amtszeitbeschränkung. Der Direktor als Gründer der Community kann unbegrenzt viele aufeinanderfolgende Amtszeiten ausüben.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_5:_Vacancies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 5: Vakanzen ===

Eine Vakanz im Vorstand liegt vor, wenn die tatsächliche Anzahl der Vorstandsmitglieder aus irgendeinem Grund geringer ist als die zulässige Anzahl. Vakanzen können durch eine Zweidrittelmehrheit der verbleibenden Vorstandsmitglieder für den Rest der Amtszeit besetzt werden. Der Vorstand kann seine Geschäfte während der Vakanz einer Vorstandsposition oder während einer Zeit, in der die Zusammensetzung des Vorstands vorübergehend nicht mit Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels übereinstimmt, als Vorstand fortführen, wobei er angemessene Anstrengungen unternimmt, um Vakanzen nach Bedarf zu besetzen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_6:_Resignation_and_Removal&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 6: Rücktritt und Abberufung ===

Rücktritte werden mit dem schriftlichen Eingang beim Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), dem Präsidenten, dem Schriftführer oder dem Vorstand dieser Gesellschaft wirksam, sofern im Rücktritt kein späterer Zeitpunkt angegeben ist. Die Mehrheit der jeweils amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder kann jedes Vorstandsmitglied jederzeit mit oder ohne Angabe von Gründen abberufen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_7:_Regular_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 7: Regelmäßige Sitzungen ===

Regelmäßige Vorstandssitzungen finden mindestens zweimal jährlich statt. Die Einberufung erfolgt durch den Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), den Präsidenten oder zwei beliebige Vorstandsmitglieder. Die Bekanntmachung erfolgt gemäß Abschnitt 9 dieses Artikels.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_8:_Special_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 8: Sondersitzungen ===

Sondersitzungen des Vorstands werden durch den Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), den Präsidenten oder zwei beliebige Vorstandsmitglieder einberufen. Die Bekanntmachung erfolgt gemäß Abschnitt 9 dieses Artikels.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_9:_Notice&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 9: Bekanntmachung ===

In der Bekanntmachung einer Vorstandssitzung sind Datum, Ort und Uhrzeit der Sitzung anzugeben. Die Bekanntmachung ist jedem Vorstandsmitglied wie folgt zu übermitteln:

(a) bei ordentlichen Sitzungen mindestens zwei Wochen vor der jeweiligen Sitzung; und

(b) bei Sondersitzungen mindestens vier Tage vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie per erstklassiger Post übermittelt wird, bzw. achtundvierzig Stunden vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie persönlich oder telefonisch, einschließlich eines Sprachnachrichtensystems, oder durch andere elektronische Übermittlungswege wie E-Mail übermittelt wird, in Übereinstimmung mit Artikel IX, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_10:_Waiver_of_Notice&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 10: Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung ===

Die Beschlüsse einer Vorstandssitzung, unabhängig von Einberufung, Bekanntmachung und Veranstaltungsort, gelten als in einer ordnungsgemäß einberufenen und bekanntgemachten Sitzung gefasst, sofern die Beschlussfähigkeit gegeben ist und jedes nicht anwesende Vorstandsmitglied vor oder nach der Sitzung schriftlich auf die Bekanntmachung verzichtet, der Abhaltung der Sitzung zustimmt oder das Protokoll genehmigt. Der Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung oder die Zustimmung muss den Zweck der Sitzung nicht benennen. Alle Verzichtserklärungen, Zustimmungen und Genehmigungen sind zu den Unterlagen der Gesellschaft zu nehmen oder werden Teil des Sitzungsprotokolls. Die Bekanntmachung gilt auch für Vorstandsmitglieder, die an der Sitzung teilnehmen, ohne gegen die fehlende Bekanntmachung vor oder zu Beginn der Sitzung Einspruch zu erheben, als erfolgt.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_11:_Quorum&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 11: Quorum ===

Mindestens fünf (5) Vorstandsmitglieder oder die Mehrheit der Gesamtzahl der zu diesem Zeitpunkt amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, stellen ein Quorum dar. Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden darf das erforderliche Quorum in keinem Fall weniger als ein Fünftel der autorisierten Anzahl von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder zwei Vorstandsmitglieder betragen, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist. Bei einer Sitzung, bei der ein Quorum vorhanden ist, stellt die Entscheidung des Vorstands die Entscheidung von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder der Mehrheit der bei einer solchen Sitzung anwesenden Vorstandsmitglieder, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, dar, sofern in Artikel III, Abschnitt 4 (Wahl von Direktoren), Abschnitt 5 (Besetzung von Vorstandsposten), Abschnitt 6 (Abberufung von Direktoren) und Abschnitt 12 (Maßnahmen ohne Sitzung) nichts anderes bestimmt ist; Artikel IV, Abschnitt 1 (Ernennung von Vorstandskomitees); Artikel VI, Abschnitt 3 (Genehmigung von Eigengeschäften); Artikel VII, Abschnitt 2 (Genehmigung von Entschädigungen); und Artikel IX, Abschnitt 6 (Änderung der Satzung) dieser Satzung oder im California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law nicht anders angegeben. Eine Sitzung, bei der zunächst ein Quorum anwesend ist, kann ungeachtet des Rücktritts von Vorstandsmitgliedern weiterhin Geschäfte abwickeln, wenn die ergriffenen Maßnahmen von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder einer Mehrheit des für die Sitzung erforderlichen Quorums, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, genehmigt werden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_12:_Action_Without_a_Meeting&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 12: Maßnahmen ohne eine Sitzung ===

Jede vom Vorstand geforderte oder genehmigte Maßnahme kann ohne Sitzung getroffen werden, wenn alle Vorstandsmitglieder einzeln oder gemeinsam schriftlich zustimmen. Diese schriftlichen Zustimmungen werden dem Sitzungsprotokoll beigefügt und haben die gleiche Wirkung wie einstimmige Beschlussfassungen der Vorstandsmitglieder.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_13:_Telephone_and_Electronic_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 13: Telefonische und elektronische Sitzungen ===

Vorstandsmitglieder können unter Einhaltung von Artikel IX, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung per Telefonkonferenz, elektronischer Videobildschirmkommunikation oder anderen elektronischen Übertragungsmitteln an einer Sitzung teilnehmen, sofern alle der folgenden Punkte zutreffen:

(a) jedes an der Sitzung teilnehmende Vorstandsmitglied kann mit allen anderen Vorstandsmitgliedern gleichzeitig kommunizieren; und

(b) jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat die Möglichkeit, an allen Angelegenheiten des Vorstands teilzunehmen, einschließlich der Befugnis, eine bestimmte von dieser Gesellschaft zu ergreifende Maßnahme vorzuschlagen oder Einspruch dagegen einzulegen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_14:_Standard_of_Care&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 14: Sorgfaltspflicht ===

&lt;span id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Allgemein ====

Ein Vorstandsmitglied muss die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds, einschließlich der Pflichten als Mitglied eines Komitees des Vorstands, in dem das Vorstandsmitglied tätig sein kann, mit guten Absichten und in einer Weise erfüllen, die das Vorstandsmitglied für das beste Interesse dieser Gesellschaft hält, und mit der gleichen Sorgfalt, einschließlich angemessener Nachforschungen, wie sie eine normalerweise umsichtige Person in einer ähnlichen Situation unter ähnlichen Umständen walten lassen würde.

Bei der Wahrnehmung seiner Aufgaben als Vorstandsmitglied ist ein Vorstandsmitglied berechtigt, sich auf Informationen, Meinungen, Berichte oder Erklärungen, einschließlich Jahresabschlüssen und anderen Finanzdaten, zu stützen, die jeweils erstellt oder vorgelegt werden von:

(i) einem oder mehreren leitenden Angestellten oder Mitarbeitern dieser Gesellschaft, die das Vorstandsmitglied hinsichtlich der vorgelegten Angelegenheiten für zuverlässig und kompetent hält;

(ii) Beratern, unabhängigen Wirtschaftsprüfern oder anderen Personen in Angelegenheiten, die nach Ansicht des Vorstandsmitglieds in den beruflichen oder fachlichen Zuständigkeitsbereich dieser Personen fallen; oder

(iii) einem Komitee, dem das Vorstandsmitglied nicht angehört und das sich ausschließlich aus einer Kombination von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder Personen zusammensetzt, die in (i) oder (ii) beschrieben sind, hinsichtlich der Angelegenheiten, die in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Komitees fallen, vorausgesetzt, dass das Vorstandsmitglied der Ansicht ist, dass ein solches Komitee Vertrauen verdient;

solange das Vorstandsmitglied in einem solchen Fall nach angemessener Prüfung mit guten Absichten handelt, wenn die Umstände dies erfordern und er keine Kenntnisse hat, die ein solches Vertrauen ungerechtfertigt erscheinen lassen.

Sofern in Artikel VI unten nichts anderes bestimmt ist, haftet eine Person, die die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds gemäß diesem Abschnitt wahrnimmt, nicht aufgrund einer Nichterfüllung oder angeblichen Nichterfüllung ihrer Pflichten als Vorstandsmitglied. Dies gilt insbesondere, ohne die Allgemeingültigkeit des Vorgenannten einzuschränken, für Handlungen oder Unterlassungen, die über einen öffentlichen oder wohltätigen Zweck hinausgehen oder diesen zunichtemachen, dem eine Gesellschaft oder die von ihr gehaltenen Vermögenswerte gewidmet sind.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_15:_Investments&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 15: Investitionen ===

Mit Ausnahme der Vermögenswerte, die für die Durchführung öffentlicher oder gemeinnütziger Aktivitäten dieser Gesellschaft gehalten oder direkt verwendet werden, muss der Vorstand bei der Verwaltung und Anlage der Investitionen dieser Gesellschaft die in Absatz A oben dargelegten Standards einhalten und sowohl die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft berücksichtigen als auch:

(i) die allgemeine Wirtschaftslage;

(ii) die möglichen Auswirkungen von Inflation oder Deflation;

(iii) die etwaigen voraussichtlichen steuerlichen Folgen von Anlageentscheidungen oder -strategien;

(iv) die Rolle, die jede Investition oder Maßnahme innerhalb des Gesamtportfolios spielt;

(v) die erwartete Gesamtrendite aus Erträgen und Wertsteigerungen der Anlagen;

(vi) die sonstigen Mittel dieser Gesellschaft;

(vii) die Notwendigkeit dieser Gesellschaft, Ausschüttungen vorzunehmen und Kapital zu erhalten; und

(viii) die besondere Beziehung oder den besonderen Wert eines Vermögenswerts im Hinblick auf die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft, sofern vorhanden.

Entscheidungen des Vorstands über eine einzelne Investition dürfen nicht isoliert getroffen werden, sondern müssen im Kontext des gesamten Investitionsportfolios der Gesellschaft und als Teil einer Gesamtinvestitionsstrategie erfolgen, deren Risiko- und Renditeziele für die Gesellschaft angemessen sind.

Der Vorstand delegiert diese Anlageentscheidungen und die Verwaltung seiner Anlagefonds an das Anlagekomitee dieser Gesellschaft (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung).

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden verstößt keine Investition gegen diesen Abschnitt, wenn sie entweder der in einer Schenkungsurkunde zum Ausdruck gebrachten Absicht des Schenkers oder den Bestimmungen einer Urkunde oder Vereinbarung entspricht, die eine solche Investition genehmigen und auf deren Grundlage die Vermögenswerte dieser Gesellschaft zugesprochen wurden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_16._Inspection&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 16. Inspektion ===

Jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat das uneingeschränkte Recht, zu jedem angemessenen Zeitpunkt sämtliche Bücher, Aufzeichnungen und Dokumente einzusehen und Kopien anzufertigen sowie das physische Eigentum dieser Gesellschaft zu prüfen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_17._Executive_Compensation_Review&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 17. Überprüfung der Vergütung der Führungskräfte ===

Für den Fall, dass diese Gesellschaft den Präsidenten bzw. den Geschäftsführer und den Schatzmeister bzw. den Finanzdirektor einstellt oder anderweitig entlohnt, überprüft der Vorstand (oder ein Komitee des Vorstands) sämtliche Vergütungspakete (einschließlich aller Nebenleistungen) des Präsidenten bzw. des Geschäftsführers und des Schatzmeisters bzw. des Finanzdirektors, unabhängig von der Berufsbezeichnung, und genehmigt diese Vergütung erst, nachdem er festgestellt hat, dass sie gerecht und angemessen ist. Diese Überprüfung und Genehmigung erfolgt bei der Einstellung der jeweiligen Führungskraft, bei der Verlängerung ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses und bei der Änderung ihrer Vergütung, es sei denn, die Änderung betrifft im Wesentlichen alle Mitarbeiter dieses Unternehmens.

&lt;span id=&quot;ARTICLE_IV:_COMMITTEES&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ARTIKEL IV: KOMITEES ==

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_1._Board_Committees&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 1. Komitees des Vorstands ===

Der Vorstand kann durch Beschluss der Mehrheit der amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder beliebig viele Komitees des Vorstands bilden, die jeweils aus zwei oder mehr Vorstandsmitgliedern bestehen und nach Ermessen des Vorstands tätig sind. Die Ernennung in Komitees des Vorstands erfolgt durch Mehrheitsbeschluss der amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder. Komitees des Vorstands können mit allen Befugnissen des Vorstands ausgestattet werden, mit Ausnahme der Befugnisse:

(a) die Anzahl der Vorstandsmitglieder innerhalb eines in dieser Satzung festgelegten Rahmens festzulegen;

(b) Vorstandsmitglieder ohne Angabe von Gründen zu wählen oder zu entlassen;

(c) freie Stellen im Vorstand oder in einem Komitee des Vorstands zu besetzen;

(d) die Vergütung der Vorstandsmitglieder für ihre Tätigkeit im Vorstand oder in einem Komitee des Vorstands festzulegen;

=== Abschnitt 4: Nominierungen, Wahl und Amtszeit der Direktoren ===

Die jeweils amtierenden Direktoren wählen ihre Nachfolger. Diese müssen von mindestens zwei Dritteln der amtierenden Direktoren bestätigt werden. Die Wahl der Direktoren erfolgt aus den nominierten Kandidaten, die gemäß den unten beschriebenen Verfahren nominiert wurden. Die Amtszeit jedes Direktors beträgt drei (3) Jahre, vorbehaltlich der unten beschriebenen Amtszeitbeschränkungen. Jeder Direktor bleibt bis zum Ablauf seiner Amtszeit, für die er gewählt wurde, und bis zur Wahl eines Nachfolgers im Amt.

* '''A. Nominierungsverfahren'''

Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 6 dieser Satzung) ist für die Nominierung von Kandidaten für die Wahl oder Wiederwahl als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands berät sich mit dem Kuratorium der WMF über alle vorgeschlagenen Nominierungen und berücksichtigt alle Stellungnahmen, die innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach einem solchen Vorschlag vom Kuratorium der WMF eingehen; die nominierten Kandidaten werden jedoch vom Führungskomitee des Vorstands dieser Gesellschaft nach eigenem Ermessen bestimmt. Bei der Nominierung strebt das Führungskomitee des Vorstands einen Vorstand an, der eine Vielfalt an geografischen Hintergründen, Rassen/Ethnien, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Altersgruppen, Ansichten und Interessen repräsentiert. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands beachtet außerdem die in Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels festgelegten Qualifikationsanforderungen für Direktoren. Ein für eine Nominierung in Betracht gezogener Direktor nimmt nicht an den Beratungen des Führungskomitee des Vorstands über seine Nominierung teil.

* '''B. Amtszeitbeschränkungen'''

Mit Ausnahme des Direktors als Gründer der Community kann ein Direktor maximal drei (3) Amtszeiten absolvieren. Danach kann er nicht mehr dem Vorstand angehören. Beträgt die anfängliche Amtszeit eines Direktors weniger als drei (3) Jahre, weil er für den Rest der Amtszeit eines anderen Direktors gewählt wurde, dessen Sitz aus irgendeinem Grund frei geworden ist, gilt diese anfängliche Amtszeit nicht als Amtszeit im Sinne dieser Amtszeitbeschränkung. Der Direktor als Gründer der Community kann unbegrenzt viele aufeinanderfolgende Amtszeiten ausüben.

Der Vorstand kann seine Geschäfte während der Vakanz einer Vorstandsposition oder während einer Zeit, in der die Zusammensetzung des Vorstands vorübergehend nicht mit Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels übereinstimmt, als Vorstand fortführen, wobei er angemessene Anstrengungen unternimmt, um Vakanzen nach Bedarf zu besetzen.

=== Abschnitt 10: Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung ===

Die Beschlüsse einer Vorstandssitzung, unabhängig von Einberufung, Bekanntmachung und Veranstaltungsort, gelten als in einer ordnungsgemäß einberufenen und bekanntgemachten Sitzung gefasst, sofern die Beschlussfähigkeit gegeben ist und jedes nicht anwesende Vorstandsmitglied vor oder nach der Sitzung schriftlich auf die Bekanntmachung verzichtet, der Abhaltung der Sitzung zustimmt oder das Protokoll genehmigt. Der Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung oder die Zustimmung muss den Zweck der Sitzung nicht benennen. Alle Verzichtserklärungen, Zustimmungen und Genehmigungen sind zu den Unterlagen der Gesellschaft zu nehmen oder werden Teil des Sitzungsprotokolls.

Jede vom Vorstand geforderte oder genehmigte Maßnahme kann ohne Sitzung getroffen werden, wenn alle Vorstandsmitglieder einzeln oder gemeinsam schriftlich zustimmen. Diese schriftlichen Zustimmungen werden dem Sitzungsprotokoll beigefügt und haben die gleiche Wirkung wie einstimmige Beschlussfassungen der Vorstandsmitglieder.

=== Abschnitt 14: Sorgfaltspflicht ===

&lt;span id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Allgemein ====

Ein Vorstandsmitglied muss die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds, einschließlich der Pflichten als Mitglied eines Komitees des Vorstands, in dem das Vorstandsmitglied tätig sein kann, mit guten Absichten und in einer Weise erfüllen, die das Vorstandsmitglied für das beste Interesse dieser Gesellschaft hält, und mit der gleichen Sorgfalt, einschließlich angemessener Nachforschungen, wie sie eine normalerweise umsichtige Person in einer ähnlichen Situation unter ähnlichen Umständen walten lassen würde.

Bei der Wahrnehmung seiner Aufgaben als Vorstandsmitglied ist ein Vorstandsmitglied berechtigt, sich auf Informationen, Meinungen, Berichte oder Erklärungen, einschließlich Jahresabschlüssen und anderen Finanzdaten, zu stützen, die jeweils erstellt oder vorgelegt werden von:

(i) einem oder mehreren leitenden Angestellten oder Mitarbeitern dieser Gesellschaft, die das Vorstandsmitglied hinsichtlich der vorgelegten Angelegenheiten für zuverlässig und kompetent hält;

(ii) Beratern, unabhängigen Wirtschaftsprüfern oder anderen Personen in Angelegenheiten, die nach Ansicht des Vorstandsmitglieds in den beruflichen oder fachlichen Zuständigkeitsbereich dieser Personen fallen; oder

(iii) einem Komitee, dem das Vorstandsmitglied nicht angehört und das sich ausschließlich aus einer Kombination von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder Personen zusammensetzt, die in (i) oder (ii) beschrieben sind, hinsichtlich der Angelegenheiten, die in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Komitees fallen, vorausgesetzt, dass das Vorstandsmitglied der Ansicht ist, dass ein solches Komitee Vertrauen verdient;

solange das Vorstandsmitglied in einem solchen Fall nach angemessener Prüfung mit guten Absichten handelt, wenn die Umstände dies erfordern und er keine Kenntnisse hat, die ein solches Vertrauen ungerechtfertigt erscheinen lassen.

Sofern in Artikel VI unten nichts anderes bestimmt ist, haftet eine Person, die die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds gemäß diesem Abschnitt wahrnimmt, nicht aufgrund einer Nichterfüllung oder angeblichen Nichterfüllung ihrer Pflichten als Vorstandsmitglied. Dies gilt insbesondere, ohne die Allgemeingültigkeit des Vorgenannten einzuschränken, für Handlungen oder Unterlassungen, die über einen öffentlichen oder wohltätigen Zweck hinausgehen oder diesen zunichtemachen, dem eine Gesellschaft oder die von ihr gehaltenen Vermögenswerte gewidmet sind.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_15:_Investments&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 15: Investitionen ===

Mit Ausnahme der Vermögenswerte, die für die Durchführung öffentlicher oder gemeinnütziger Aktivitäten dieser Gesellschaft gehalten oder direkt verwendet werden, muss der Vorstand bei der Verwaltung und Anlage der Investitionen dieser Gesellschaft die in Absatz A oben dargelegten Standards einhalten und sowohl die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft berücksichtigen als auch:

(i) die allgemeine Wirtschaftslage;

(ii) die möglichen Auswirkungen von Inflation oder Deflation;

(iii) die etwaigen voraussichtlichen steuerlichen Folgen von Anlageentscheidungen oder -strategien;

(iv) die Rolle, die jede Investition oder Maßnahme innerhalb des Gesamtportfolios spielt;

(v) die erwartete Gesamtrendite aus Erträgen und Wertsteigerungen der Anlagen;

(vi) die sonstigen Mittel dieser Gesellschaft;

(vii) die Notwendigkeit dieser Gesellschaft, Ausschüttungen vorzunehmen und Kapital zu erhalten; und

(viii) die besondere Beziehung oder den besonderen Wert eines Vermögenswerts im Hinblick auf die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft, sofern vorhanden.

Entscheidungen des Vorstands über eine einzelne Investition dürfen nicht isoliert getroffen werden, sondern müssen im Kontext des gesamten Investitionsportfolios der Gesellschaft und als Teil einer Gesamtinvestitionsstrategie erfolgen, deren Risiko- und Renditeziele für die Gesellschaft angemessen sind.

Der Vorstand delegiert diese Anlageentscheidungen und die Verwaltung seiner Anlagefonds an das Anlagekomitee dieser Gesellschaft (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung).

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden verstößt keine Investition gegen diesen Abschnitt, wenn sie entweder der in einer Schenkungsurkunde zum Ausdruck gebrachten Absicht des Schenkers oder den Bestimmungen einer Urkunde oder Vereinbarung entspricht, die eine solche Investition genehmigen und auf deren Grundlage die Vermögenswerte dieser Gesellschaft zugesprochen wurden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_16._Inspection&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 16. Inspektion ===

Jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat das uneingeschränkte Recht, zu jedem angemessenen Zeitpunkt sämtliche Bücher, Aufzeichnungen und Dokumente einzusehen und Kopien anzufertigen sowie das physische Eigentum dieser Gesellschaft zu prüfen.

=== Abschnitt 17. Überprüfung der Vergütung der Führungskräfte ===

Diese Überprüfung und Genehmigung erfolgt bei der Einstellung der jeweiligen Führungskraft, bei der Verlängerung ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses und bei der Änderung ihrer Vergütung, es sei denn, die Änderung betrifft im Wesentlichen alle Mitarbeiter dieses Unternehmens.

=== Abschnitt 2. Anzahl der Direktoren; Qualifikationen und Zusammensetzung des Vorstands ===

Die Anzahl der Direktoren beträgt mindestens sieben (7) und höchstens fünfzehn (15). Die genaue Anzahl wird von Zeit zu Zeit durch Beschluss des Vorstands festgelegt. Personen, die derzeit bei der Wikimedia Foundation, einer gemeinnützigen Gesellschaft in Florida (&quot;WMF&quot;), beschäftigt sind oder anderweitig von ihr vergütet werden, sind nicht berechtigt, als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft zu fungieren. Der Vorstand besteht aus folgenden Sitzen:

(a) Ein Sitz wird von Jimmy Wales gehalten. Dieser Direktorensitz wird als &quot;Direktor als Gründer der Community&quot; bezeichnet, solange Herr Wales ihn innehat. Sollte Herr Wales zu irgendeinem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr im Vorstand tätig sein, wird dieser Sitz automatisch in einen allgemeinen Direktorensitz umgewandelt, wie unten in Absatz (c) dieses Abschnitts 2 definiert, und gemäß den Anforderungen dieses Absatzes besetzt.

(b) Mindestens ein Teil der Gesamtzahl der autorisierten Direktoren muss aus Community-Sitzen bestehen. Diese sind für Personen reserviert, die (i) zuvor als Direktoren der WMF tätig waren und (ii) die Perspektiven der Wikimedia-Community einbringen können. Diese Direktorensitze werden als &quot;Community-Direktoren&quot; bezeichnet. Die Mindest- und Höchstzahl der Community-Direktoren wird wie folgt definiert:

# Ein Vorstand aus sieben bis neun (9) Mitgliedern muss mindestens einen Community-Direktor haben, aber nicht mehr als zwei.
# Ein Vorstand aus zehn (10) bis dreizehn (13) Mitgliedern muss mindestens zwei Community-Direktor haben, aber nicht mehr als drei.
# Ein Vorstand aus vierzehn (14) oder 15 Mitgliedern muss drei Community-Direktor haben.

(c) Die übrigen Sitze sollen mit Personen besetzt werden, die über Expertise im Bereich Spendensammlung und/oder Finanzwesen verfügen. Bei der Wahl dieser Direktoren berücksichtigt der Vorstand auch, ob der Kandidat eine oder mehrere der folgenden Eigenschaften zur Zusammensetzung des Vorstands beiträgt: Leidenschaft für freies Wissen; Fähigkeit, einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Arbeit des Vorstands zu leisten; Engagement für Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion. Diese Direktorensitze werden als &quot;Allgemeine Direktoren&quot; bezeichnet.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_3:_Limitations_on_Interested_Persons&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 3: Beschränkungen für interessierte Personen ===

Zu jeder Zeit dürfen nicht mehr als fünfzehn Prozent (15 %) der Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft interessierte Personen sein. Eine interessierte Person ist entweder:

jede Person, die derzeit von dieser Gesellschaft für in den letzten zwölf Monaten erbrachte Leistungen entschädigt wird, sei es als Vollzeit- oder Teilzeitangestellter, unabhängiger Auftragnehmer oder auf andere Weise, mit Ausnahme einer angemessenen Vergütung, die einem Direktor in seiner Funktion als Direktor gezahlt wird; oder jeder Bruder, jede Schwester, jeder Vorfahre, jeder Nachkomme, Ehegatte, Schwager, Schwägerin, Schwiegersohn, Schwiegertochter, Schwiegermutter oder Schwiegervater einer solchen Person.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_4:_Nominations;_Election_and_Term_of_Office_of_Directors&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 4: Nominierungen, Wahl und Amtszeit der Direktoren ===

Die jeweils amtierenden Direktoren wählen ihre Nachfolger. Diese müssen von mindestens zwei Dritteln der amtierenden Direktoren bestätigt werden. Die Wahl der Direktoren erfolgt aus den nominierten Kandidaten, die gemäß den unten beschriebenen Verfahren nominiert wurden. Die Amtszeit jedes Direktors beträgt drei (3) Jahre, vorbehaltlich der unten beschriebenen Amtszeitbeschränkungen. Jeder Direktor bleibt bis zum Ablauf seiner Amtszeit, für die er gewählt wurde, und bis zur Wahl eines Nachfolgers im Amt.

* '''A. Nominierungsverfahren'''

Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 6 dieser Satzung) ist für die Nominierung von Kandidaten für die Wahl oder Wiederwahl als Direktoren dieser Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands berät sich mit dem Kuratorium der WMF über alle vorgeschlagenen Nominierungen und berücksichtigt alle Stellungnahmen, die innerhalb von 14 Tagen nach einem solchen Vorschlag vom Kuratorium der WMF eingehen; die nominierten Kandidaten werden jedoch vom Führungskomitee des Vorstands dieser Gesellschaft nach eigenem Ermessen bestimmt. Bei der Nominierung strebt das Führungskomitee des Vorstands einen Vorstand an, der eine Vielfalt an geografischen Hintergründen, Rassen/Ethnien, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Altersgruppen, Ansichten und Interessen repräsentiert. Das Führungskomitee des Vorstands beachtet außerdem die in Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels festgelegten Qualifikationsanforderungen für Direktoren. Ein für eine Nominierung in Betracht gezogener Direktor nimmt nicht an den Beratungen des Führungskomitee des Vorstands über seine Nominierung teil.

* '''B. Amtszeitbeschränkungen'''

Mit Ausnahme des Direktors als Gründer der Community kann ein Direktor maximal drei (3) Amtszeiten absolvieren. Danach kann er nicht mehr dem Vorstand angehören. Beträgt die anfängliche Amtszeit eines Direktors weniger als drei (3) Jahre, weil er für den Rest der Amtszeit eines anderen Direktors gewählt wurde, dessen Sitz aus irgendeinem Grund frei geworden ist, gilt diese anfängliche Amtszeit nicht als Amtszeit im Sinne dieser Amtszeitbeschränkung. Der Direktor als Gründer der Community kann unbegrenzt viele aufeinanderfolgende Amtszeiten ausüben.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_5:_Vacancies&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 5: Vakanzen ===

Eine Vakanz im Vorstand liegt vor, wenn die tatsächliche Anzahl der Vorstandsmitglieder aus irgendeinem Grund geringer ist als die zulässige Anzahl. Vakanzen können durch eine Zweidrittelmehrheit der verbleibenden Vorstandsmitglieder für den Rest der Amtszeit besetzt werden. Der Vorstand kann seine Geschäfte während der Vakanz einer Vorstandsposition oder während einer Zeit, in der die Zusammensetzung des Vorstands vorübergehend nicht mit Abschnitt 2 dieses Artikels übereinstimmt, als Vorstand fortführen, wobei er angemessene Anstrengungen unternimmt, um Vakanzen nach Bedarf zu besetzen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_6:_Resignation_and_Removal&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 6: Rücktritt und Abberufung ===

Rücktritte werden mit dem schriftlichen Eingang beim Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), dem Präsidenten, dem Schriftführer oder dem Vorstand dieser Gesellschaft wirksam, sofern im Rücktritt kein späterer Zeitpunkt angegeben ist. Die Mehrheit der jeweils amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder kann jedes Vorstandsmitglied jederzeit mit oder ohne Angabe von Gründen abberufen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_7:_Regular_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 7: Regelmäßige Sitzungen ===

Regelmäßige Vorstandssitzungen finden mindestens zweimal jährlich statt. Die Einberufung erfolgt durch den Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), den Präsidenten oder zwei beliebige Vorstandsmitglieder. Die Bekanntmachung erfolgt gemäß Abschnitt 9 dieses Artikels.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_8:_Special_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 8: Sondersitzungen ===

Sondersitzungen des Vorstands werden durch den Vorstandsvorsitzenden (sofern vorhanden), den Präsidenten oder zwei beliebige Vorstandsmitglieder einberufen. Die Bekanntmachung erfolgt gemäß Abschnitt 9 dieses Artikels.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_9:_Notice&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 9: Bekanntmachung ===

In der Bekanntmachung einer Vorstandssitzung sind Datum, Ort und Uhrzeit der Sitzung anzugeben. Die Bekanntmachung ist jedem Vorstandsmitglied wie folgt zu übermitteln:

(a) bei ordentlichen Sitzungen mindestens zwei Wochen vor der jeweiligen Sitzung; und

(b) bei Sondersitzungen mindestens vier Tage vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie per erstklassiger Post übermittelt wird, bzw. achtundvierzig Stunden vor der jeweiligen Sitzung, wenn sie persönlich oder telefonisch, einschließlich eines Sprachnachrichtensystems, oder durch andere elektronische Übermittlungswege wie E-Mail übermittelt wird, in Übereinstimmung mit Artikel IX, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_10:_Waiver_of_Notice&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 10: Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung ===

Die Beschlüsse einer Vorstandssitzung, unabhängig von Einberufung, Bekanntmachung und Veranstaltungsort, gelten als in einer ordnungsgemäß einberufenen und bekanntgemachten Sitzung gefasst, sofern die Beschlussfähigkeit gegeben ist und jedes nicht anwesende Vorstandsmitglied vor oder nach der Sitzung schriftlich auf die Bekanntmachung verzichtet, der Abhaltung der Sitzung zustimmt oder das Protokoll genehmigt. Der Verzicht auf die Bekanntmachung oder die Zustimmung muss den Zweck der Sitzung nicht benennen. Alle Verzichtserklärungen, Zustimmungen und Genehmigungen sind zu den Unterlagen der Gesellschaft zu nehmen oder werden Teil des Sitzungsprotokolls. Die Bekanntmachung gilt auch für Vorstandsmitglieder, die an der Sitzung teilnehmen, ohne gegen die fehlende Bekanntmachung vor oder zu Beginn der Sitzung Einspruch zu erheben, als erfolgt.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_11:_Quorum&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 11: Quorum ===

Mindestens fünf (5) Vorstandsmitglieder oder die Mehrheit der Gesamtzahl der zu diesem Zeitpunkt amtierenden Vorstandsmitglieder, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, stellen ein Quorum dar. Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden darf das erforderliche Quorum in keinem Fall weniger als ein Fünftel der autorisierten Anzahl von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder zwei Vorstandsmitglieder betragen, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist. Bei einer Sitzung, bei der ein Quorum vorhanden ist, stellt die Entscheidung des Vorstands die Entscheidung von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder der Mehrheit der bei einer solchen Sitzung anwesenden Vorstandsmitglieder, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, dar, sofern in Artikel III, Abschnitt 4 (Wahl von Direktoren), Abschnitt 5 (Besetzung von Vorstandsposten), Abschnitt 6 (Abberufung von Direktoren) und Abschnitt 12 (Maßnahmen ohne Sitzung) nichts anderes bestimmt ist; Artikel IV, Abschnitt 1 (Ernennung von Vorstandskomitees); Artikel VI, Abschnitt 3 (Genehmigung von Eigengeschäften); Artikel VII, Abschnitt 2 (Genehmigung von Entschädigungen); und Artikel IX, Abschnitt 6 (Änderung der Satzung) dieser Satzung oder im California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law nicht anders angegeben. Eine Sitzung, bei der zunächst ein Quorum anwesend ist, kann ungeachtet des Rücktritts von Vorstandsmitgliedern weiterhin Geschäfte abwickeln, wenn die ergriffenen Maßnahmen von mindestens vier (4) Vorstandsmitgliedern oder einer Mehrheit des für die Sitzung erforderlichen Quorums, je nachdem, welche Zahl größer ist, genehmigt werden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_12:_Action_Without_a_Meeting&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 12: Maßnahmen ohne eine Sitzung ===

Jede vom Vorstand geforderte oder genehmigte Maßnahme kann ohne Sitzung getroffen werden, wenn alle Vorstandsmitglieder einzeln oder gemeinsam schriftlich zustimmen. Diese schriftlichen Zustimmungen werden dem Sitzungsprotokoll beigefügt und haben die gleiche Wirkung wie einstimmige Beschlussfassungen der Vorstandsmitglieder.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_13:_Telephone_and_Electronic_Meetings&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 13: Telefonische und elektronische Sitzungen ===

Vorstandsmitglieder können unter Einhaltung von Artikel IX, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung per Telefonkonferenz, elektronischer Videobildschirmkommunikation oder anderen elektronischen Übertragungsmitteln an einer Sitzung teilnehmen, sofern alle der folgenden Punkte zutreffen:

(a) jedes an der Sitzung teilnehmende Vorstandsmitglied kann mit allen anderen Vorstandsmitgliedern gleichzeitig kommunizieren; und

(b) jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat die Möglichkeit, an allen Angelegenheiten des Vorstands teilzunehmen, einschließlich der Befugnis, eine bestimmte von dieser Gesellschaft zu ergreifende Maßnahme vorzuschlagen oder Einspruch dagegen einzulegen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_14:_Standard_of_Care&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 14: Sorgfaltspflicht ===

&lt;span id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== Allgemein ====

Ein Vorstandsmitglied muss die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds, einschließlich der Pflichten als Mitglied eines Komitees des Vorstands, in dem das Vorstandsmitglied tätig sein kann, mit guten Absichten und in einer Weise erfüllen, die das Vorstandsmitglied für das beste Interesse dieser Gesellschaft hält, und mit der gleichen Sorgfalt, einschließlich angemessener Nachforschungen, wie sie eine normalerweise umsichtige Person in einer ähnlichen Situation unter ähnlichen Umständen walten lassen würde.

Bei der Wahrnehmung seiner Aufgaben als Vorstandsmitglied ist ein Vorstandsmitglied berechtigt, sich auf Informationen, Meinungen, Berichte oder Erklärungen, einschließlich Jahresabschlüssen und anderen Finanzdaten, zu stützen, die jeweils erstellt oder vorgelegt werden von:

(i) einem oder mehreren leitenden Angestellten oder Mitarbeitern dieser Gesellschaft, die das Vorstandsmitglied hinsichtlich der vorgelegten Angelegenheiten für zuverlässig und kompetent hält;

(ii) Beratern, unabhängigen Wirtschaftsprüfern oder anderen Personen in Angelegenheiten, die nach Ansicht des Vorstandsmitglieds in den beruflichen oder fachlichen Zuständigkeitsbereich dieser Personen fallen; oder

(iii) einem Komitee, dem das Vorstandsmitglied nicht angehört und das sich ausschließlich aus einer Kombination von Vorstandsmitgliedern oder Personen zusammensetzt, die in (i) oder (ii) beschrieben sind, hinsichtlich der Angelegenheiten, die in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Komitees fallen, vorausgesetzt, dass das Vorstandsmitglied der Ansicht ist, dass ein solches Komitee Vertrauen verdient;

solange das Vorstandsmitglied in einem solchen Fall nach angemessener Prüfung mit guten Absichten handelt, wenn die Umstände dies erfordern und er keine Kenntnisse hat, die ein solches Vertrauen ungerechtfertigt erscheinen lassen.

Sofern in Artikel VI unten nichts anderes bestimmt ist, haftet eine Person, die die Pflichten eines Vorstandsmitglieds gemäß diesem Abschnitt wahrnimmt, nicht aufgrund einer Nichterfüllung oder angeblichen Nichterfüllung ihrer Pflichten als Vorstandsmitglied. Dies gilt insbesondere, ohne die Allgemeingültigkeit des Vorgenannten einzuschränken, für Handlungen oder Unterlassungen, die über einen öffentlichen oder wohltätigen Zweck hinausgehen oder diesen zunichtemachen, dem eine Gesellschaft oder die von ihr gehaltenen Vermögenswerte gewidmet sind.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_15:_Investments&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 15: Investitionen ===

Mit Ausnahme der Vermögenswerte, die für die Durchführung öffentlicher oder gemeinnütziger Aktivitäten dieser Gesellschaft gehalten oder direkt verwendet werden, muss der Vorstand bei der Verwaltung und Anlage der Investitionen dieser Gesellschaft die in Absatz A oben dargelegten Standards einhalten und sowohl die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft berücksichtigen als auch:

(i) die allgemeine Wirtschaftslage;

(ii) die möglichen Auswirkungen von Inflation oder Deflation;

(iii) die etwaigen voraussichtlichen steuerlichen Folgen von Anlageentscheidungen oder -strategien;

(iv) die Rolle, die jede Investition oder Maßnahme innerhalb des Gesamtportfolios spielt;

(v) die erwartete Gesamtrendite aus Erträgen und Wertsteigerungen der Anlagen;

(vi) die sonstigen Mittel dieser Gesellschaft;

(vii) die Notwendigkeit dieser Gesellschaft, Ausschüttungen vorzunehmen und Kapital zu erhalten; und

(viii) die besondere Beziehung oder den besonderen Wert eines Vermögenswerts im Hinblick auf die gemeinnützigen Zwecke dieser Gesellschaft, sofern vorhanden.

Entscheidungen des Vorstands über eine einzelne Investition dürfen nicht isoliert getroffen werden, sondern müssen im Kontext des gesamten Investitionsportfolios der Gesellschaft und als Teil einer Gesamtinvestitionsstrategie erfolgen, deren Risiko- und Renditeziele für die Gesellschaft angemessen sind.

Der Vorstand delegiert diese Anlageentscheidungen und die Verwaltung seiner Anlagefonds an das Anlagekomitee dieser Gesellschaft (eingerichtet gemäß Artikel IV, Abschnitt 5 dieser Satzung).

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden verstößt keine Investition gegen diesen Abschnitt, wenn sie entweder der in einer Schenkungsurkunde zum Ausdruck gebrachten Absicht des Schenkers oder den Bestimmungen einer Urkunde oder Vereinbarung entspricht, die eine solche Investition genehmigen und auf deren Grundlage die Vermögenswerte dieser Gesellschaft zugesprochen wurden.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_16._Inspection&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 16. Inspektion ===

Jedes Vorstandsmitglied hat das uneingeschränkte Recht, zu jedem angemessenen Zeitpunkt sämtliche Bücher, Aufzeichnungen und Dokumente einzusehen und Kopien anzufertigen sowie das physische Eigentum dieser Gesellschaft zu prüfen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_17._Executive_Compensation_Review&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Abschnitt 17. Überprüfung der Vergütung der Führungskräfte ===

Für den Fall, dass diese Gesellschaft den Präsidenten bzw. den Geschäftsführer und den Schatzmeister bzw. den Finanzdirektor einstellt oder anderweitig entlohnt, überprüft der Vorstand (oder ein Komitee des Vorstands) sämtliche Vergütungspakete (einschließlich aller Nebenleistungen) des Präsidenten bzw. des Geschäftsführers und des Schatzmeisters bzw. des Finanzdirektors, unabhängig von der Berufsbezeichnung, und genehmigt diese Vergütung erst, nachdem er festgestellt hat, dass sie gerecht und angemessen ist. Diese Überprüfung und Genehmigung erfolgt bei der Einstellung der jeweiligen Führungskraft, bei der Verlängerung ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses und bei der Änderung ihrer Vergütung, es sei denn, die Änderung betrifft im Wesentlichen alle Mitarbeiter dieses Unternehmens.

&lt;span id=&quot;ARTICLE_IV:_COMMITTEES&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== ARTIKEL IV: KOMITEES ==

&lt;span id=&quot;Section_1._Board_Committees&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

== {{int string|Purpose}} ==

De Wikimedia Foundation is een liefdadigheidsorganisatie die zich inzet voor het dienen van het publiek door haar missie na te streven. De personen in leidinggevende posities bij de Foundation hebben de plicht om de zaken van de Foundation te behartigen op een manier die in overeenstemming is met die missie, en niet om hun persoonlijke belangen of de belangen van derden te bevorderen. Dit beleid is bedoeld als leidraad om de beheerders, functionarissen, leidinggevenden en belangrijke werknemers van de Wikimedia Foundation te helpen bij het identificeren van gevallen waarin zij een persoonlijk belang hebben dat hun plicht van onverdeelde loyaliteit aan de Foundation in twijfel zou kunnen trekken, en om de procedure te definiëren voor het evalueren en aanpakken van dergelijke belangenconflicten als deze zich voordoen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Definitions&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Definities ==

'''Belangenconflicten.'''

: Een belangenconflict ontstaat in situaties waarin:
::* de externe belangen van een Gedekte Persoon concurreren met de belangen van de Foundation;
::* de Foundation sluit een Gedekte Transactie met een Gedekte Persoon of een Verbonden Partij; of
::* een Gedekte Persoon heeft gedeelde loyaliteiten.

'''Gedekte Persoon.'''

: Een persoon die nu werkzaam is als Bestuurslid, functionaris, leidinggevende of belangrijke werknemer van de Wikimedia Foundation, of die op een bepaald moment in de afgelopen 12 maanden in een dergelijke rol heeft gediend. &quot;Belangrijke werknemer&quot; wordt hier gebruikt in overeenstemming met de definitie van [[{{lwp|Form 990}}|het formulier 990 van de Amerikaanse Internal Revenue Service]].

'''Gedekte Transactie.'''

ː Een transactie, overeenkomst of andere regeling tussen:
::* de Foundation en een Gedekte Persoon; 
::* de Foundation en een Verbonden Partij; of 
::* een Gedekte Persoon en een andere partij, indien redelijkerwijs kan worden verwacht dat de transactie een wezenlijk nadelig effect op de Foundation zal hebben.
Voorbeelden van Gedekte Transacties zijn arbeidsovereenkomsten, subsidieovereenkomsten, contracten of betaling voor diensten, handelsmerkenlicentieovereenkomsten en gelieerde overeenkomsten. De vergoeding van redelijke kosten voor de activiteiten van de Foundation is geen Gedekte Transactie, maar is onderworpen aan de standaardgoedkeuring en procedures voor de vergoeding.

'''Betrokken Persoon.'''

: Een Gedekte Persoon wiens externe belangen en loyaliteiten, onder meer als gevolg van een Significante Relatie, aanleiding geven tot het feitelijke of potentiële Belangenconflict dat in een bepaalde situatie aan de orde is.

'''Verbonden Partij.'''

: Een persoon of entiteit waarmee een Gedekte Persoon een Significante Relatie heeft.

'''Significante Relatie.'''

Een Significante Relatie ontstaat uit:
::* een nauwe familierelatie, ook als echtgenoot, ouder, broer, zus, kind, stiefkind, grootouder, kleinkind, achterkleinkind, schoonvader of huiselijke partner;
::* een materiële financiële belang, zoals een eigendomsbelang van meer dan 10% in een entiteit (als individu of in totaal tussen personen met een nauwe familie relatie); of
::* een rol als ambtenaar, directeur, trustee, partner of werknemer.

&lt;span id=&quot;Identifying_Conflicts_of_Interest&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Belangenconflicten in kaart brengen ==

De eerste stap bij het aanpakken van belangenconflicten is het identificeren van gevallen waarin er een conflict is of waar er een conflict kan zijn. Deze stap moet ten onrechte aan de kant van overinclusie vallen om ervoor te zorgen dat alle belangenconflicten worden geïdentificeerd.

&lt;span id=&quot;Questionnaire&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Vragenlijst ===

Om de Foundation te helpen bij het identificeren van mogelijke belangenconflicten, moet elke Gedekte Persoon een [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Conflict of Interest Questionnaire|Vragenlijst belangenconflicten]] invullen die eenmaal per jaar door de Foundation wordt verstrekt, en zal haar vragenlijst indien nodig bijwerken om veranderingen in de loop van het jaar weer te geven. Vragenlijsten worden ingediend bij de juridisch adviseur van de Foundation, die verantwoordelijk is voor de bewaring ervan. Ingevulde vragenlijsten zullen ter inzage liggen door elke Trustee, de Chief Executive Officer en de Chief Financial Officer, en ze kunnen worden beoordeeld door de juridisch adviseur van de Foundation.

&lt;span id=&quot;Disclosure&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Openbaar maken ===

Wanneer een Gedekte Persoon zich van een voorgestelde Gedekte Transactie of een andere potentiële belangenconflict bewust wordt, is hij verplicht het bestaan en omstandigheden schriftelijk aan de Raad van Bestuur, de directeur en de advocaat-generaal te melden. Een Gedekte Persoon moet alle mogelijke belangenconflicten melden waarvan hij of zij kennis krijgt, ook al is hij of zij geen Betrokken Persoon. Wanneer er twijfel bestaat over de vraag of een situatie een daadwerkelijke of potentiële belangenconflict met zich meebrengt die openbaarmaking vereist, moet de kwestie worden opgelost door de voorzitter van de Raad van Bestuur (of de vicevoorzitter(s) indien de voorzitter een belanghebbende is).

&lt;span id=&quot;Assessing_Conflicts_of_Interest&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Beoordeling van belangenconflicten ==

Nadat een mogelijk belangenconflict is gemeld aan de Raad van Bestuur, moet de Raad informatie verzamelen en bepalen of er daadwerkelijk sprake is van een belangenconflict. De Raad kan een subcommissie aanwijzen om bewijsmateriaal te verzamelen en aanbevelingen te doen, maar de uiteindelijke beslissing moet worden genomen door de voltallige Raad.

&lt;span id=&quot;Recusal_of_Interested_Persons&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Wraking van belanghebbende personen ===

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Interested Persons must make themselves available to the Board of Trustees to answer questions and provide information, to the extent permitted by law, relevant to the potential Conflict of Interest. Interested Persons must otherwise recuse themselves from any discussions regarding the Conflict of Interest. Interested Persons may not observe, be present for, or participate in any Board or committee discussions regarding the Conflict of Interest, except as needed to answer questions. Interested Persons must refrain from using their personal influence to encourage the Board to reach any particular conclusion. These obligations continue to apply to Interested Persons throughout the Board's assessment, review, and approval of the potential Conflict of Interest.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Board Determination ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board of Trustees, without the involvement or participation of any Interested Persons, shall review the evidence and determine whether a Conflict of Interest exists. In making its determination, the Board should consider whether:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* a Covered Person or a Related Party would receive a benefit (financial or otherwise) from the proposed Covered Transaction;
* a Covered Person would be in two conflicting roles; or
* a proposed Covered Transaction might be perceived to be a conflict of interest by parties outside the Foundation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The discussion shall be documented in Board minutes, and the determination shall be documented as a Board resolution. A majority vote is required for the Board to determine that there is no Conflict of Interest. If the Board determines that there is no Conflict of Interest, then the Conflict of Interest review process concludes and any affected transactions may proceed as usual.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Addressing Conflicts of Interest ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
After determining that a Conflict of Interest exists, the Board of Trustees must decide whether to approve any proposed Covered Transactions. The Board must also address any violations of this policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Board Approval ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board of Trustees may approve a Covered Transaction by majority vote. In order to approve a Covered Transaction, the Board must conclude that:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* it is aware of all material facts concerning the Covered Transaction and all Interested Persons' interests in the Transaction;
* the Covered Transaction is not an act of self-dealing or otherwise legally impermissible;
* the Covered Transaction would benefit the Foundation and is in the Foundation's best interests (weighing the potential risks against the benefits);
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* the cost to the Foundation is fair and reasonable, based on comparable market data;
* it is not reasonably possible for the Foundation to enter into a more advantageous arrangement to achieve the same benefit that would not produce a Conflict of Interest; and
* the Covered Transaction does not involve the Foundation hiring as an employee or contractor an individual who had been a Wikimedia Foundation Trustee within the preceding 6 months.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board may consult legal counsel and other outside advisors as part of its determination. The Board's discussion and the basis for its approval shall be documented in Board minutes, and the Board's approval shall be documented as a Board resolution. The publicly published minutes shall include, at a minimum, the fact that the Board discussed and approved a Covered Transaction.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Policy Violations ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the course of fulfilling its duties under this policy, the Board of Trustees (or one of its committees) may learn of information that gives it reasonable cause to believe that a Covered Person has failed to disclose an actual or potential Conflict of Interest, or otherwise violated this policy. In such circumstances, the Board shall inform the Covered Person of the basis of its belief and provide an opportunity for the Covered Person to explain the alleged violations. The Board shall investigate further as warranted by the circumstances, determine whether there was a violation of this policy, and take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Policy Administration ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
This policy shall be administered by the Board of Trustees. The Board is responsible for the following:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* receiving disclosures of proposed Covered Transactions;
* reviewing proposed Covered Transactions to determine whether they meet the criteria for approval;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* maintaining documentation as may be necessary and appropriate to document its review of Covered Transactions, including meeting minutes, resolutions, and pledges of personal commitment; and
* reviewing the operation of this policy and making changes from time to time as may be appropriate.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Acknowledgement ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Covered Person shall be required to acknowledge that they have read this policy and are in compliance with it. They shall be required to sign the [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Pledge of personal commitment|pledge of personal commitment]] and fill out a conflict of interest questionnaire when they accept the role that makes them subject to this policy. They shall be required to update and renew these written commitments at least once per year.

{{policy-staff}}

== {{int string|Purpose}} ==

De Wikimedia Foundation is een liefdadigheidsorganisatie die zich inzet voor het dienen van het publiek door haar missie na te streven. De personen in leidinggevende posities bij de Foundation hebben de plicht om de zaken van de Foundation te behartigen op een manier die in overeenstemming is met die missie, en niet om hun persoonlijke belangen of de belangen van derden te bevorderen. Dit beleid is bedoeld als leidraad om de beheerders, functionarissen, leidinggevenden en belangrijke werknemers van de Wikimedia Foundation te helpen bij het identificeren van gevallen waarin zij een persoonlijk belang hebben dat hun plicht van onverdeelde loyaliteit aan de Foundation in twijfel zou kunnen trekken, en om de procedure te definiëren voor het evalueren en aanpakken van dergelijke belangenconflicten als deze zich voordoen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Definitions&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Definities ==

'''Belangenconflicten.'''

: Een belangenconflict ontstaat in situaties waarin:
::* de externe belangen van een Gedekte Persoon concurreren met de belangen van de Foundation;
::* de Foundation sluit een Gedekte Transactie met een Gedekte Persoon of een Verbonden Partij; of
::* een Gedekte Persoon heeft gedeelde loyaliteiten.

'''Gedekte Persoon.'''

: Een persoon die nu werkzaam is als Bestuurslid, functionaris, leidinggevende of belangrijke werknemer van de Wikimedia Foundation, of die op een bepaald moment in de afgelopen 12 maanden in een dergelijke rol heeft gediend. &quot;Belangrijke werknemer&quot; wordt hier gebruikt in overeenstemming met de definitie van [[{{lwp|Form 990}}|het formulier 990 van de Amerikaanse Internal Revenue Service]].

'''Gedekte Transactie.'''

ː Een transactie, overeenkomst of andere regeling tussen:
::* de Foundation en een Gedekte Persoon; 
::* de Foundation en een Verbonden Partij; of 
::* een Gedekte Persoon en een andere partij, indien redelijkerwijs kan worden verwacht dat de transactie een wezenlijk nadelig effect op de Foundation zal hebben.
Voorbeelden van Gedekte Transacties zijn arbeidsovereenkomsten, subsidieovereenkomsten, contracten of betaling voor diensten, handelsmerkenlicentieovereenkomsten en gelieerde overeenkomsten. De vergoeding van redelijke kosten voor de activiteiten van de Foundation is geen Gedekte Transactie, maar is onderworpen aan de standaardgoedkeuring en procedures voor de vergoeding.

'''Betrokken Persoon.'''

: Een Gedekte Persoon wiens externe belangen en loyaliteiten, onder meer als gevolg van een Significante Relatie, aanleiding geven tot het feitelijke of potentiële Belangenconflict dat in een bepaalde situatie aan de orde is.

'''Verbonden Partij.'''

: Een persoon of entiteit waarmee een Gedekte Persoon een Significante Relatie heeft.

'''Significante Relatie.'''

Een Significante Relatie ontstaat uit:
::* een nauwe familierelatie, ook als echtgenoot, ouder, broer, zus, kind, stiefkind, grootouder, kleinkind, achterkleinkind, schoonvader of huiselijke partner;
::* een materiële financiële belang, zoals een eigendomsbelang van meer dan 10% in een entiteit (als individu of in totaal tussen personen met een nauwe familie relatie); of
::* een rol als ambtenaar, directeur, trustee, partner of werknemer.

&lt;span id=&quot;Identifying_Conflicts_of_Interest&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Belangenconflicten in kaart brengen ==

De eerste stap bij het aanpakken van belangenconflicten is het identificeren van gevallen waarin er een conflict is of waar er een conflict kan zijn. Deze stap moet ten onrechte aan de kant van overinclusie vallen om ervoor te zorgen dat alle belangenconflicten worden geïdentificeerd.

&lt;span id=&quot;Questionnaire&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Vragenlijst ===

Om de Foundation te helpen bij het identificeren van mogelijke belangenconflicten, moet elke Gedekte Persoon een [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Conflict of Interest Questionnaire|Vragenlijst belangenconflicten]] invullen die eenmaal per jaar door de Foundation wordt verstrekt, en zal haar vragenlijst indien nodig bijwerken om veranderingen in de loop van het jaar weer te geven. Vragenlijsten worden ingediend bij de juridisch adviseur van de Foundation, die verantwoordelijk is voor de bewaring ervan. Ingevulde vragenlijsten zullen ter inzage liggen door elke Trustee, de Chief Executive Officer en de Chief Financial Officer, en ze kunnen worden beoordeeld door de juridisch adviseur van de Foundation.

&lt;span id=&quot;Disclosure&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Openbaar maken ===

Wanneer een Gedekte Persoon zich van een voorgestelde Gedekte Transactie of een andere potentiële belangenconflict bewust wordt, is hij verplicht het bestaan en omstandigheden schriftelijk aan de Raad van Bestuur, de directeur en de advocaat-generaal te melden. Een Gedekte Persoon moet alle mogelijke belangenconflicten melden waarvan hij of zij kennis krijgt, ook al is hij of zij geen Betrokken Persoon. Wanneer er twijfel bestaat over de vraag of een situatie een daadwerkelijke of potentiële belangenconflict met zich meebrengt die openbaarmaking vereist, moet de kwestie worden opgelost door de voorzitter van de Raad van Bestuur (of de vicevoorzitter(s) indien de voorzitter een belanghebbende is).

&lt;span id=&quot;Assessing_Conflicts_of_Interest&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== Beoordeling van belangenconflicten ==

Nadat een mogelijk belangenconflict is gemeld aan de Raad van Bestuur, moet de Raad informatie verzamelen en bepalen of er daadwerkelijk sprake is van een belangenconflict. De Raad kan een subcommissie aanwijzen om bewijsmateriaal te verzamelen en aanbevelingen te doen, maar de uiteindelijke beslissing moet worden genomen door de voltallige Raad.

&lt;span id=&quot;Recusal_of_Interested_Persons&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Wraking van belanghebbende personen ===

De Belanghebbende Personen moeten zich aan de Raad van Bestuur bereikbaar houden om vragen te beantwoorden en informatie te verstrekken, voor zover wettelijk toegestaan, die relevant is voor het mogelijke belangenconflict. Zij moeten zich anderszins van alle besprekingen betreffende het belangenconflict onthouden. Zij mogen geen commissie- of raadbesprekingen over het belangenconflict observeren, aanwezig zijn of deelnemen, behalve wanneer dit nodig is om vragen te beantwoorden. De Belanghebbende Personen moeten zich ervan onthouden hun persoonlijke invloed te gebruiken om de Raad aan te moedigen tot een bepaalde conclusie te komen. De Raad heeft de Commissie verzocht om een aanvullende informatie te verstrekken over de mogelijkheid van een conflict van belang.

&lt;span id=&quot;Board_Determination&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Bestuursbepaling ===

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board of Trustees, without the involvement or participation of any Interested Persons, shall review the evidence and determine whether a Conflict of Interest exists. In making its determination, the Board should consider whether:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* a Covered Person or a Related Party would receive a benefit (financial or otherwise) from the proposed Covered Transaction;
* a Covered Person would be in two conflicting roles; or
* a proposed Covered Transaction might be perceived to be a conflict of interest by parties outside the Foundation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The discussion shall be documented in Board minutes, and the determination shall be documented as a Board resolution. A majority vote is required for the Board to determine that there is no Conflict of Interest. If the Board determines that there is no Conflict of Interest, then the Conflict of Interest review process concludes and any affected transactions may proceed as usual.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Addressing Conflicts of Interest ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
After determining that a Conflict of Interest exists, the Board of Trustees must decide whether to approve any proposed Covered Transactions. The Board must also address any violations of this policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Board Approval ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board of Trustees may approve a Covered Transaction by majority vote. In order to approve a Covered Transaction, the Board must conclude that:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* it is aware of all material facts concerning the Covered Transaction and all Interested Persons' interests in the Transaction;
* the Covered Transaction is not an act of self-dealing or otherwise legally impermissible;
* the Covered Transaction would benefit the Foundation and is in the Foundation's best interests (weighing the potential risks against the benefits);
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* the cost to the Foundation is fair and reasonable, based on comparable market data;
* it is not reasonably possible for the Foundation to enter into a more advantageous arrangement to achieve the same benefit that would not produce a Conflict of Interest; and
* the Covered Transaction does not involve the Foundation hiring as an employee or contractor an individual who had been a Wikimedia Foundation Trustee within the preceding 6 months.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board may consult legal counsel and other outside advisors as part of its determination. The Board's discussion and the basis for its approval shall be documented in Board minutes, and the Board's approval shall be documented as a Board resolution. The publicly published minutes shall include, at a minimum, the fact that the Board discussed and approved a Covered Transaction.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Policy Violations ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In the course of fulfilling its duties under this policy, the Board of Trustees (or one of its committees) may learn of information that gives it reasonable cause to believe that a Covered Person has failed to disclose an actual or potential Conflict of Interest, or otherwise violated this policy. In such circumstances, the Board shall inform the Covered Person of the basis of its belief and provide an opportunity for the Covered Person to explain the alleged violations. The Board shall investigate further as warranted by the circumstances, determine whether there was a violation of this policy, and take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Policy Administration ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
This policy shall be administered by the Board of Trustees. The Board is responsible for the following:
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* receiving disclosures of proposed Covered Transactions;
* reviewing proposed Covered Transactions to determine whether they meet the criteria for approval;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
* maintaining documentation as may be necessary and appropriate to document its review of Covered Transactions, including meeting minutes, resolutions, and pledges of personal commitment; and
* reviewing the operation of this policy and making changes from time to time as may be appropriate.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Acknowledgement ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Each Covered Person shall be required to acknowledge that they have read this policy and are in compliance with it. They shall be required to sign the [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Pledge of personal commitment|pledge of personal commitment]] and fill out a conflict of interest questionnaire when they accept the role that makes them subject to this policy. They shall be required to update and renew these written commitments at least once per year.
